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.

I <3 Uva
By prlgirl
Love this place- neighborhood gem! They have a great wine selection. We ordered the goat cheese bruschetta and the gnocci and it was fantastic. Have also had the baked pasta and eggplant appetizer which are all very good. Usually have fantastic pasta specials. Pretty looking people on staff and great summer date place with patio and sidewalk seating.
Pros: wine list, outdoor seating, date spot, wine cellar for large parties
Cons: not cheap, at times packed bar

Fantastic Wine Bar
By FrigFab
I've been to Uva a handful of times and it's really great. They have a nice winelist, excellent if you wish to buy by the bottle. The bruschetta is awesome, particularly the mushroom one. The bread was thick and crunchy and the veggies were very fresh. I have also had the gnocchi with truffle oil and it's out of this world - rich and savory. The prices are reasonable and the ambience is nice. In the spring and summer, I very highly recommend grabbing a friend and getting a spot out on their patio. It's so pleasant. The only drawback is that space is somewhat limited. You can't fit a party bigger than 2 on the patio comfortably. But still, a great spot. Go there!
Pros: Great winelist, good prices
Cons: tiny patio

Not so great food at Very high price
By photostories
When my friends who have previously recommended a great Italian restuarant raved about UVA, I was excited and anticipated eating great food. The appetizer was pretty ok, but the price was way too high for what it offered. Dinner was the other way around, the price was ok, but the food was not something I would have to go to a restaurant to eat. The worst part of it was paying $3 for a small glass (imagine one of those small freshly squeezed OJ at a diner) of giner ale with no refill. After ice in it, there was hardly any ginger ale. And I had to wait over 30 minutes to get the drink. I would not go here again.
Pros: Appetizers
Cons: over priced food
