I’ve been to Uva 2-3 times now and each time I am blown away by how incredible it is to dine here. The second you step off the sidewalk and into the restaurant you’re greeted by some of the most professional hostess’ in the city. The drinks are always great, their wine recommendations never miss, and at no point in time have I ever thought to myself “where is my waiter?” The basement dining event area is perfectly decorated to make you feel as if you’re in Italy.
This past weekend we had my brothers rehearsal dinner here and we couldn’t have been happier. The short rib was outstanding, the shrimp was perfectly buttered/charred, and the martinis were a 10/10. Excited to try out Nightly’s as well as Lusardis soon.

Ambiance (5/5): It feels super trendy coming in with the dark lighting, cozy vibes. It is incredibly crammed inside. Somehow we managed to get seated in the front area without a reservation on a Friday at 7:30p?! The lines got longer soon thereafter.
Service (5/5): the waitress provided some recommendations upon request. She checked in on us often and our waters were always full. The food came out pretty fast after working too!! The bill came quickly despite wanting to stay to chitchat, but we were never rushed out once we paid!
Food (5/5): I don’t usually choose Italian but the two dishes we got were both very delicious!!
Gnocchi: the flavors of the truffle were forward but not overpowering. The gnocchi was soft and soaked up the delicious sauce.
Vitaello Gratinato: the veal was very tender. The small cubes of potato had perfect exterior crunch. The sauces all worked very well together.

I came to Uva late at night around 11 p.m. with a few friends, and even though the kitchen was about to close in ten minutes, the staff still welcomed us and let us order. The service was excellent, super attentive and friendly.
The food was fresh and really good, and I found the prices to be very reasonable. The ambience was cozy and inviting, and since it’s almost Halloween, their decorations definitely added to the vibe.
Overall, great experience, good food, great service, and a fun atmosphere. Well done!

UVA is a classic UES spot that never disappoints—perfect for a date night or catching up with a friend.
The food is always reliable. I can never come here without ordering the truffle gnocchi—it’s rich, flavorful, and honestly hard to beat anywhere else. The gorgonzola pear salad was light, refreshing, and very good. The meatballs were just okay—small in size (six per order, good for sharing) with a sauce that tasted more onion-forward than I remember. Not bad, but not a standout.
Service is consistently strong—the food came out quickly, our waitress was attentive, and the whole staff is always accommodating. A neighborhood staple for a reason.

This is third time coming back here! I loved it every single time. The only thing I don’t like is the drinks, lol. But that’s honestly ME. Because I prefer sweet wines and drinks and every time, I have tried a “sweet” wine from UVA, well, it wasn’t. They were always dry, and I don’t like it at all. The food has never failed, and the aesthetic is absolutely stunning! I went last week and it’s Halloween dressed but it’s still classy. I will be returning!

A great Italian restaurant on the Upper East side of Manhattan. Most of us had pasta, which we really enjoyed. I especially enjoyed the gnocchi. There was a nice selection of wines and beers. We would definitely come here again.

The vibes are immaculate but the plates are small and they need more staff, would prioritize wine and chats over going for a meal

Love this place! The atmosphere is awesome very romantic vibes, dimly lit many candles. There’s also a seating area in the back that has a glass ceiling so the light comes through if you’re more into a sunny atmosphere over a dimly lit one. The food was great I will be back for the pasta & lots of cheese selections!

Amazing wine list!! The Barolo for $110 was an incredible value. You must try the polenta and the pappardelle, to die for!! Don’t leave without trying the hazelnut dessert, *best* we’ve ever had
