- NNicoleVIPSan Francisco Bay Area •47 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoThe service was attentive, our waitress gave us excellent suggestions without trying to upsell us which we appreciated. Our Market Oysters, Calabrian Chili Oil, Green Apple, Buttermilk-Dill Oil (4 for $18) were artfully presented and tasted fresh although they were tiny. The handmade Pastas were exceptional. Our Lamb Tortelli of Stuffed Tortelli, Lamb Belly Ragù, Fresh Ricotta, Mint Pesto, Pecorino Romano ($27) and Seafood Chitarra of Chitarra-style Pasta, Lobster Cream, Scallops, Mussels, Prawns, Chives, Butter, and Lemon ($32) were both outstanding, exquisitely tender and boldly flavored. Ummo also gave us a beautiful Vanilla Sponge Cake layered with Raspberry Jam (?) topped with Vanilla Frosting and Blueberries as a complimentary birthday dessert. Our other dessert of Ummo Ferrero, Dark Chocolate Cream, Toasted Hazelnuts, Hazelnut Gianduja, Vanilla & Chocolate Nitro Drops, Frangelico Jelly ($18) was gorgeous. The ambience was dark and moody with lots of striking Jazz posters and beautiful coffee table books.More infoUmmoPrice: Moderate• Italian• River North (Chicago)•4.5
