Catia Uliassi

Coming Up

Catia Uliassi has managed Uliassi in Senigallia since 1990, the year she and her brother Mauro opened the restaurant. The craft here is continuity: a dining room shaped by long attention, by the repetition of service, and by the habits built in a family business. Catia Uliassi came up in her parents’ coffee shop on the outskirts of Senigallia, a popular place with steady footfall, and that background trained an eye for room rhythm, conversation, and the work behind making guests feel at ease. “I grew up in my parents’ coffee shop, a popular, vibrant locale on the outskirts of Senigallia.” The role of restaurant manager at Uliassi, held by Catia Uliassi since 1990, is defined by duration and proximity to the house itself. This is not management at a remove. It is stewardship shaped by years of service, family labor, and daily familiarity with the pace of the room. The restaurant she opened with Mauro in 1990 sits within a personal history rooted in Senigallia, where work, home, and memory have stayed closely linked.

Where They Are Now

The restaurant manager at Uliassi in Senigallia is still Catia Uliassi, and the value of that continuity is in how deeply the place is known. A room can be overseen, or it can be lived with; in this case the work has the weight of the second. Catia Uliassi has spent enough time inside the same house to make steadiness a form of expertise, with the identity of the restaurant and her own history developing side by side. Family service is the foundation here. Catia Uliassi describes the coffee shop run by her parents as an early school of observation and care, and that is where the social mechanics of hospitality were first learned. The move from that setting to Uliassi in Senigallia reads as continuity rather than departure: the same attention to people, carried into a more formal restaurant context.

In Their Words The sentence is plain about what hospitality demands: commitment to work, and a practiced ability to connect. For Catia Uliassi, the lesson from her parents’ coffee shop has stayed operational rather than sentimental. It remains a working framework for how she understands the role at Uliassi.
