SOMOS Hospitality, the team behind the award-winning Tzuco, is pleased to announce UMMO, a contemporary Italian dining concept opening in the heart of River North at 22 West Hubbard Street in July.
Helmed by Principal/Co-Founder Germán González and esteemed Chef/Partner Carlos Gaytán, with cuisine by Chef/Partner José Sosa and design by Karen Herold of Studio K Creative, UMMO will unlock the flavors of regional Italian cuisine in a stunning, artfully imagined space.
A soon-to-be-named, second-floor social lounge ideal for a retro-inspired aperitivo hour or post-dinner enjoyment, promises a relaxed destination for spirited times and community connection.
UMMO marks the second restaurant by SOMOS Hospitality in Chicago’s River North district.
Tzuco, which opened in 2019 at 720 North State Street, has become a fixture for area residents and visitors seeking Chef Gaytan’s native Mexican cuisine effortlessly graced with French influence that earned the restaurant a semifinalist nod for Best New Restaurant by the James Beard Foundation.
Expansion in the area was a natural progression for the SOMOS team, and Italian cuisine represents an exciting direction for the group under Chef Sosa’s experienced leadership.
