I went by myself after work- ordered a gnocchi. The waitress didn’t even offer fresh pepper, needless to say shaved truffles (for extra $$$) as it is mentioned in the menu. She judged the book by its cover, and choose to just be walking bet entrance and the bar area chatting w/ others employees as the restaurant wasn’t busy.I rather go to Urbani, get my own truffle and cook my pasta next time.

Overall food and ambience was very nice! The garden section in the back is beautiful! I did have one issue. I have a gluten allergy and I usually never expect a restaurant to accommodate me but I called ahead to ask about gluten free options and the person I spoke to said they could do gnocchi and fettuccine gluten free and that there should not be an issue. When I arrived and spoke to my server, who was lovely, informed me that they actually boil the “gluten free pastas” in the same water as regular pasta (which defeats the whole purpose). If you’re going to say you have gluten free option for pasta dishes they should be actually trying to not contaminate it with gluten. In my opinion, I don’t think it should be be hard to have a separate pot of water.My server was super great and I was able to have the short ribs which were pretty good and all of my friends said there meals were great!

BEST PASTA, DESSERTS, etc EVER. Food doesn’t disappoint and restaurants decor is beautiful. However, I haven’t been a while because the music is too loud to hold a conversation. My friend who I invited there said the same as well. Not sure if that has changed but i haven’t been and sucks because I would like to introduce the spot to others. So please, bring the music down if it hasn’t been. Shouldn’t have to scream to hold a conversation.

We went to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday and they made our evening whole. We will be back for sure. Highly recommended.
A weird experience but good food. When we arrived the hostess was arguing with the manager about how to handle Uber eats drivers. We were a little early for our reservation so they suggested we get a drink at the bar while we wait which we were happy to do but in the 10 minutes we waited at the bar the bartender never greeted us ( it was somewhat busy, but a quick hey I'll be with you in a few minutes can go a long way) . We arrived at our table and we were a bout 6 inches from the next table ( it's New York ) who unfortunately for us were doctors discussing a graphic case they had seen earlier in the day. This isn't the restaurants fault, but we came here specifically because it was supposed to be romantic but it was very loud and we couldn't hear each other over the discussion of prolapsed organs. With that being said the food was very good and out server was efficient and kind.

Not worth the hype! We had a reservation. When we checked in with the hostess, she told us, you can have a drink by the bar while we get your table ready. At the bar, it was packed. Nowhere to sit and nowhere to stand without constantly having to try and maneuver yourself out of the way of the servers who were trying to get by and deliver plates. Waiting 30 min after our reservation time, checked in with the hostess again and she told us that we are on the list and our table is going to be ready soon. Another 30 min goes by and still no table. Around an hour and 10 min after our reservation time, we see people who walked in well after we did, being seated. We find out that their reservation time was 30 min after ours. We finally decided to leave. It would have been nice if they let us know upon arrival, “it’s an hour wait even with a reservation,” so we could have made our own decision. But honestly, why bother even taking reservations if you can’t manage it?

Terrible service, I made a reservation and waited over 45 mins to be seated. After following up numerous times with the hostess and manager they insisted I keep waiting. The manager working during this time ( really tall man) was beyond rude. He shouted at me when my seats were available and proceeded to sit walk ins before me. I truly believe this place is over hyped and not worth the chaos and rudeness from the staff.

I walk in uva on 3/22 at 7.30 and I am told the wait time is 45 mins for a table of four. At the time of writing this it’s 9.03 pm (more than 1 and a half hour) and I still don’t have a table. In between I ask the host multiple times to tell me how much more time and I am told sorry she doesn’t know. I even point to her a table of 4 empty and I am told it’s for reservation. For all the time I was standing outside, I didn’t see anyone occupy that table. I love(d) uva but this is BAD.

A very nice place with excellent service.The food is also very good, I tried the pollo alla Partenopea, it was delicious, but I liked the pasta.
