Our
Vision
Locally sourced ingredients.
Our Vision
Materie prime del territorio.
Matteo Taccini & Luigi Senese
UMA Roma was born out of our friendship. Having grown up together, united by a shared dream, we decided to create a restaurant defined by authenticity and innovation, inspired by our life experiences. Our cuisine revolves around key concepts such as the grill—where fire enhances the purity of ingredients—and fermentation, which allows us to transform the familiar into something new and surprising.
We believe in the uniqueness of every ingredient. Often, our dishes focus on a single element, exploring all its nuances through techniques not traditionally associated with our culture.
Craftsmanship & Research
These values lie at the heart of what we do. We collaborate with local artisans to create not only the dishes we serve but also the environment around us—from handcrafted plates to carefully selected details. The connections we build with our suppliers reflect the same care and attention we invest in our menu. Here, every item has a story, and each ingredient carries a deep connection to the land it comes from.
We prefer not to reveal too much about ourselves. Instead, we invite our guests to discover the journey we’ve embarked upon and the experiences that have shaped UMA. The restaurant you see today is the result of years of growth, research, introspection, and challenges we continually set ourselves to remain true to our vision.
Every detail, from the creation of a recipe to the decor of our space, is designed to provoke reflection and curiosity, as we believe that discovery is an essential part of the experience.
