Let it start with a great glass of wine…
An energetic and lively Italian with intimate tables, farmhouse design, and atmosphere for days!
Candles flicker against exposed brick, chandeliers suspend from tin ceilings, and the walls tell an eclectic story of another world - a remote Tuscan farmhouse, where this family’s story began. Rich, authentic Italian is served alongside a vast array of wine, and the room hums with the life and laughter of the neighborhood.
Uva is a slice of magic that buzzes year-round with its cozy corners, intimate decor, and an all-seasons back garden - candlelit and enchanting in winter, al fresco and lively in summer.
Open late every night, Uva has secured itself as a New York institution, has made almost every “date list” publication, and continues to grow in popularity year on year.
Believe it or not, there was a time when a ‘wine bar’ was a foreign concept….
That’s right, back in 2005 Uva opened its doors as a Wine Bar - an idea that was greeted with confusion but enthusiasm. It’s hard to believe that was once a novel concept, but back then, it was. Wines, endless wines, delicious small plates, late nights, and secret back gardens and wine rooms were all part of the opening package that the Upper East Side fell in love with.
The idea took off quickly and grew, with the menu expanding to encompass larger dishes and the iconic entrees that Uva is now known for.
With little sister, Uva Next Door, joining the ranks in 2021, and speakeasy cocktail lounge Keys & Heels opening Spring 2022, the energy and charisma of the In Tune Hospitality Group continues to expand, becoming one of the most exciting and treasured restaurant blocks in New York City.
