Une

UNE is a creative restaurant situated in a restored 16th-century mill in Capodacqua, Italy. Under the direction of chef Giulio Gigli, it emphasizes Umbrian recipes refined through international culinary techniques. The kitchen sources local ingredients from small producers and operates within an integrated ecosystem that includes a garden, forest, and pantry, highlighting sustainable practices such as biodiversity restoration and organic cultivation. The restaurant’s ambiance blends rustic charm and natural beauty with spaces showcasing antique machines, historic tiles, and original architectural elements like wooden beams and Roman arches. Large windows overlook the surrounding forest, offering guests a sensory experience that interweaves nature, nostalgia, and contemporary design. UNE features two seasonal tasting menus that evolve twice yearly, reflecting the natural cycles and ecosystems of the Umbrian territory. The cuisine focuses on zero waste and sustainability with dishes such as Italian antipasto, Capodacqua pigeon, and Sellano trout. Special events include an immersive Dinner in the Forest, which employs ancestral cooking techniques and local wild ingredients to create a distinct culinary experience.
