- funky flavorJune 2, 2016Amazing gnocchi with truffle oil! Must have that!!! Must must must!!!! Also the antipasto misto is great for groups. As desert I had the girella AL cioccollato, but the chocolate mousse was better.
- The Corcoran GroupJuly 17, 2013A romantic and intimate setting with an incredible wine list, making it the ultimate date spot. The gnocchi here is to die for! Be sure to also come for brunch and get the Contadina frittata.
- The food here is authentic and delicious. We came for brunch and were amazed with the portion size and quality. Definitely get the brunch special (includes a drink). Apple Cinnamon Pancakes - YUM.
- Julia KaplanMarch 21, 2017I've enjoyed dinner on the sidewalk cafe and in the back patio. Back patio is more romantic but it can get a little loud. Most memorable dishes: stuffed eggplant app & Nutella-y sponge cake dessert!
- Michael NataleApril 26, 2018The best wine bar I've been in NYC, from hostess, bar tender, wait staff to the food. Everything on point. Get the fried artichokes, dip them in the leftover sauce from the truffle polenta. Gnocchi.
- Jesse LaneJune 19, 2016Have never had a bad meal here, but the pappardelle with veal ragu is a personal favorite.
- Adrienne ReinaJuly 3, 2016This is the perfect date night spot! Have a bottle of Lambrusco in the back garden, and order the ricotta truffle honey bruschetta that everyone raves about!
- Jon B.January 27, 2019Excellent brunch. The Nutella hot focaccia was a nice starter, and the rustica frittata was excellent. Uva has a back patio that is a delight.
- Aditi LuthraNovember 6, 2017Late night menu is the best deal. Got the ricotta Mac & cheese $10, and friend got the ricotta gnocchi truffle. Ricotta heaven. Hazelnut ice cream was best but flavored ice cream I’ve ever had.
