    Food was very good. Service was not as good as it had been in the past. The fact that we were seated in a corner did not bother me, but evidently as a table for 2, we did not get the level of attention that I have come to expect in the fine restaurant. I probably relate that to the fact that the restaurant was quite busy with large tables. I certainly will return as I find this continues to be a wonderful restaurant.

    Uva offered a charming dining experience that felt like something out of Italy. Thoroughly enjoyable and would always recommend to friends!

    This is my second time eating there. UVA was packed on a Monday night, clearly they are on top of their game. It is very good food at a very competitive price relative to manhattan prices. The service is excellent. Water always filled, our server always made sure we had serving utensils so we could share some of our food. The prosciutto app was excellent as were the veal, meat balls in red sauce. We loved the pasta dishes and our desert which was a delicious almond tart with ice cream. I highly recommend this place, the vibe is also fun.
