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.

mmm I LOVE Uva! The place is dimly lim and romantic. Great wine selection and the food is absolutely delicious! They have probably the best Bruschetta I've had in the city and the pasta is consistently good! The manager and staff are always very accommodating. This place is a gem in the UES! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu

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.
