Microwaveable food seems to have entered the room at UVA. If it was from the Trader Joe’s frozen section it would be fantastic. In this economy? No way Jose. Service is good, but have you noticed how loud it is in here? Find yourself next to an obnoxious blond 20 something and you’ll wish you were … dead!

Ambiance (5/5): It feels super trendy coming in with the dark lighting, cozy vibes. It is incredibly crammed inside. Somehow we managed to get seated in the front area without a reservation on a Friday at 7:30p?! The lines got longer soon thereafter. Service (5/5): the waitress provided some recommendations upon request. She checked in on us often and our waters were always full. The food came out pretty fast after working too!! The bill came quickly despite wanting to stay to chitchat, but we were never rushed out once we paid! Food (5/5): I don’t usually choose Italian but the two dishes we got were both very delicious!! Gnocchi: the flavors of the truffle were forward but not overpowering. The gnocchi was soft and soaked up the delicious sauce. Vitaello Gratinato: the veal was very tender. The small cubes of potato had perfect exterior crunch. The sauces all worked very well together.

My friends and I waited 40 minutes for a table, despite having a reservation. No staff member acknowledged the long wait and no one seemed apologetic. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area with good food at similar price points with much better service so I recommend going elsewhere.

The place is nice and the food was ok, but the experience was disappointing overall. My biggest issue was the service, which felt rushed from the moment we sat down. We never felt welcome to relax or enjoy our meal, and it was very clear they were trying to turn the table as quickly as possible. To make matters worse, right after we paid, the manager asked us to leave. That completely soured the experience and is not what I expect when dining out. I won’t be coming back.

Friday night reservation for 8.30pm and they made us wait 40 minutes. Do not know how to manage a reservation.
They used to be better but this was an egregious wait time for someone with a reservation. Either allow for fewer reservations or keep tables moving.

Food was okay but service was lacking. Would not recommend.

Very overpriced for the quality and quantity, the special we ordered was 4 average ravioli for $50. Many better options in the neighborhood
The owner just yelled at me for sitting wrong. Your guess is as good as mine. The rest of the staff was very friendly.

We started our Christmas Eve dinner at Uva fairly underwhelmed. We ordered the calamari and some bruschetta, as well as cocktails that were expensive and “meh.” We had a lobster or crab pasta on the nightly special menu but felt it was incredibly overpriced for what you got. But the Pappardelle al Ragu di Vitello and the Petto D’Anatra totally saved the experienced. Both were brilliant dishes with a lot of layered nuance. The tiramisu was by far the best I’ve ever had - and I’ve had some good ones! Meal was very affordable, restaurant beautifully decorated and spacious. We will definitely be back, but we’ll probably stick to the main menu and their wine list.

Amazing wine list!! The Barolo for $110 was an incredible value. You must try the polenta and the pappardelle, to die for!! Don’t leave without trying the hazelnut dessert, *best* we’ve ever had 😍

Very limited menu. Very few choices for the gluten intolerant member in our group. Plus we got the food 45 min late as there was a health inspection happening when we ordered. They could have communicated that better -and maybe served bread and coffee more promptly as a back up - which they did but only after requesting repeatedly. Not going again. Our previous visits have been decent though.
