I'm not very impressed by the food at Uva quite frankly. I don't understand chefs that feel they have to experiment with italian cuisine to try and improve on what is already good food. The beauty of italian cuisine is in the simple preparation but the quality of the ingredients and letting the food speak for themselves. This is not the first time I've been to an alleged italian restaurant where the ingredients sound familiar but the dishes are completely strange. I have to admit that the wait staff was top notch, very friendly, knew their stuff and always attentive. i also was falling over and banging in to things as the entire place was only lit by candle-light. One wonders what they're trying to hide.
Pros: good wait staff, good beer selection, Good wine list
Cons: dry pasta, pricey bar, unfamiliar cuisine
