Umami - Trattoria Giapponese In Roma

Wonderful culinary experience, excellent, tasty, and interesting dishes, friendly and helpful staff. We'll be back to try other specialties. A great discovery. Highly recommended!

I've heard a lot about this place and finally got to try it! The food selection is truly interesting and high-quality. The wines, including those by the glass, are equally excellent and the result of careful selection by the owner. The opportunity to sample an infinite number of sakes is fantastic, as the owner is a sommelier (I didn't know this existed, how cool!) If I had to find a reason why I gave it four stars, it's because of the owner's affectation. He's extremely kind and friendly, but he doesn't really make you feel at home. That said, although it doesn't really weigh heavily on the overall rating, it's a place worth stopping by and returning to, thanks to the attention to detail and refinement of the dishes, and above all, because it's affordable. I spent as much as an all-you-can-eat meal on quality food!!

Excellent restaurant and excellent service. Fair prices and very high quality.

Keeping in mind that Japanese food isn't my first choice, the food is good. The staff is friendly and cheerful. The space is small.

You eat well and there is a good choice

I've been frequenting this place for over a year and a half now, and I felt it was my duty to leave a review. I'm not a big fan of Japanese restaurants in Rome: too often, the sushi is "trendy" and there's little attention to the ingredients. Umami was the exception: the fish was always fresh, the dishes were carefully prepared, and the prices were fair. Service was fast and friendly; thanks to Davide for his courtesy and professionalism.

This is the second time my partner and I have enjoyed a wonderful dinner, made not only by the top-quality food but also by the always attentive and helpful staff. I should also add that this is where my partner recently proposed to me, and what can I say? From the owner who kindly took a surprise video of us to the waitress who was ready with music in the background and slightly dimmed lighting, Umami demonstrates quality and attentiveness even in love! I highly recommend it, not only for the impeccable gastronomic experience (and I'm quite demanding in that regard), but for the setting itself, from the atmosphere to the staff, which make it so much more than just a night out.

I'm not an expert on Japanese cuisine, but I like to experiment and I'm a devotee of a cuisine that relies on the quality of the ingredients and the professionalism of those who prepare it. In this restaurant, I found all of this, crowned by the genuine kindness and courtesy of the owner and waitress. Thank you

I had dinner in August with some friends. The first thing I didn't like was the service. There were only two waiters who were forced to rush around, so they sometimes forgot things and didn't have a moment to spare. Even when ordering, you felt like you had to hurry because the waiter had to rush off to do something else. The food didn't particularly impress me. We tried practically the entire menu because there were eight of us and we ordered a bit of everything, but the flavors were always very mixed. I didn't find the simplicity and delicacy of Japanese cuisine in any of the dishes. Furthermore, everything was in very small portions. Dinner cost €70, but I still left feeling unsatisfied and hungry.

We discovered it in the winter, when we were looking for ramen, and now we're rediscovering it for sushi and sashimi. Excellent quality products and always friendly and attentive service. The only reason we don't go there more often is because it's quite far from home.
