Late-night wining and dining on gussied-up Italian fare in a classic setting.

The Scene
Sister to Lusardi's restaurant, this warm-hued and rustic Italian bar and restaurant hosts Upper East Siders looking for an intimate experience. Dimly lit by electric candelabras and chandeliers, couples cozy up and friends order another bottle from a comprehensive list. A rear patio, framed by brick, dainty fencing and flower boxes, invites patrons to sit at petite green tables during nice weather.

The Draw
The diverse wine list, touted by the house for its grape varietals, entices with over 120 Italian and American bottles--like Sicilian red Nero D'Avola--and 30 choices by the glass, including Venetian Valpollicella and the Brunello di Montalcino, Terre di Bo. Libations are easily paired with cheese plates, antipastas or the classic Italian menu of standards with a few creative touches. The salad of red beets, fava beans, and goat cheese is served with mache in a cheese basket, while crepes are stuffed with radicchio, walnuts and Asiago cheese.

  • Excellent atmosphere, service, and food!

    Review rating : 4out of 5   Gdragonfly22 - 03/26/2009

    Went to Uva last night on a first date. The perfect place! Arrived at 8:30pm. Very busy but only waited 10minutes for a table. The wine and food selection is amazing. We were on the back patio under the heaters which made it very comfortable. The food was delicious. Our waiter was very attentive and the manager stopped by to see how we were doing. Very friendly! The prices are very reasonable with the perfect portion sizes. I will definitely come back again. I suggest this restaurant to everyone.

    This cozy Italian restaurant at the UES is not just charm and warm but the athmosphere is very good and trendy. Love it! Also, the drinks are well served the food is awsome. Try the Veal caneloni!!! The employees are very friendly and they try to make you feel comfortable and welcome. I definitely will go there again. I had a blast!!!...Juan Dominguez
