    Came here with a friend to try out a new Italian restaurant! We had made a reservation so we were seated promptly. I really liked how spacious the restaurant is, as well as how the interior is decorated! It's quite beautiful and rustic on the inside, with nice sconces and a brick wall. I also really enjoyed the service - the waitress gave us recommended and also told us about the history of the restaurant and the food! For the food, I got Puccia Speciale of the day, the panna cotta for dessert, and an Italian ginger beer. The bread on the puccia (don't call it a sandwich!) was amazing - it was light and perfectly bready as well as quite soft. I really enjoyed it - definitely a solid 8.5/10. The panna cotta was also delicious - the vanilla flavors mixed well with the fruity tastes. It felt like biting into a pillowy cloud - 10/10. The ginger beer was also perfect - not too gingery as it can often taste so. Overall, this was a wonderful dining experience and I'll definitely be coming back to try more dishes and desserts :)

    Tiramisu it tastes as bad as it looks
    Beth H.

    First time ordering, I ordered the rigatoni which was excellent flavored, but the pasta was dry and hard. The only photo I have is of the tiramisu, which was nothing like tiramisu. It's like one of those really terrible desserts you get off of a cruise ship or a really terrible buffet all foam no flavor. Literally there's no coffee flavor. There's no ladyfingers. It's literally three colors of terrible foam. It's crazy what they are charging for something that's literally either out of a can or some plastic tub.

    This is the best authentic Italian food we have had outside of Italy!! Everything from the antipasti to the dolci were fantastic...:-) We are here on July 11th 2026. The average rating is only 3.8?!!!! That is way off. This is at least a 4.5 according to our taste buds and experiences all over Italia! Run don't walk to truly authentic Italian food!! Atmosphere lovely. Staff amazingly welcoming and HARD working. Restroom spotless. Antonio operates a true gem!

    Panna Cotta

    Vibey and cute restaurant I've walked by a bunch of times but finally decided to try. Perfect for a date night or catch up session the food is also great. My favorites were the burrata and the panna cotta. The burrata was so fresh and paired perfectly with the prosciutto. Love the idea of regional italian cuisine and would definitely come back to try the other things on the menu

    Polpette
    Saad B.

    My friends and I had dinner at Uva Enoteca on Haight Street. The vibe is definitely warm and authentic, and the service is genuinely good. I ordered the Paccheri Funghi e Salsiccia, a truffle paste and house pork sausage pasta in light cream sauce, and it was straight-up delectable. Easily a 12 out of 10 for me. The meatballs, Polpette, served with San Marzano tomato and Parmigiano alongside Puccia bread, were beautiful. Appetizers overall were solid, especially the Apulian Puccia bread and the mixed olives with taralli. Heard the pizzas and other pastas are great too, like the rigatoni or orecchiette, but I didn't try them this time. Dessert was a blur, possibly tiramisu, yet it wrapped things up nicely. Overall, a really satisfying evening. Highly recommend for great service and authentic Pugliese flavors.

    Went for a private event birthday party! They let us have the entire back of the restaurant, which is about 30 seats large. The bill came out to like $100 each, given the drink minimum, tax, and tip. Cozy and intimate vibes. Antonio is a lovely store owner, very passionate about the quality of the food and where they source ingredients. They have a pizza dough that is easily digestible and strive to have fresh ingredients every day. Put our entire menu below! Dinner was from like 7:30-9:30. Had a lovely dessert wine at the end as well. ---- Appetizers (Family Style) CAVOLO NERO Mixed Kale, Almonds, Pecorino, Lemon, and Extra Virgin Olive Oil Dressing BURRATA E PROSCIUTTO Burrata Mozzarella from Puglia, Prosciutto di Parma Served with Traditional Puccia Bread Main Course (Family Style) -- Pizza -- PIZZA FUNGHI E TARTUFO Mushrooms, Truffle Paste, Mozzarella, Micro Greens PIZZA SALSICCIA E PROVOLONE Yellow Tomato, Sausage, Provolone, Mozzarella, Basil -- Pasta -- RIGATONI BOLOGNESE Beef Ragú, San Marzano Tomato, Parmigiano ORECCHIETTE CIME DI RAPA House Pork Sausage, Broccoli Rabe Pesto, Pecorino, Breadcrumbs Dessert (Family Style) PANNA COTTA Vanilla Panna Cotta and Citrus BUDINO Chocolate Pudin, Whipped Cream, Roasted Almonds

    Cavolo Nero kale with Cavolfiori cauliflower DIY salad
    Matt J.

    Our most recent visit to Uva Enoteca was our best yet. Not only were the dishes extremely well-executed, but the hospitality went above and beyond. The ratios and flavors in my Cavolo Nero kale salad were honed, firing on all cylinders as the Pecorino and Lemon melded expertly. The kind of dish I never wanted to see the bottom of. Furthermore, the proprietor, remembering how much I liked that salad, went out of his way to make sure the kitchen delivered a super sized portion for me. That alone would have been a gesture enough to make his restaurant a standby, but he further extended his welcome with a personalized overview of the menu connecting it to his Pugliese roots in a way that genuine rather than performative as it can sometimes be. My only note is I believe the cauliflower in the Cavolfiori could be roasted a bit longer and could use a few more capers and chilis to make the flavor punch. That nit aside, the meal was delightful and the space is charming as ever. A date night winner.

    Roasted cauliflower
    Kayla C.

    underwhelming. loved our server. attentive and personable. spent $80 on an antipasti, two glass of wine and pasta dish for two. the orriechette was just unmemorable. the sauce was like a red sauce of sorts but just didn't jump off the plate. it was like fine. It was a bit cold by the time we ate it but that's cause we were yapping so that's on us. The cauliflower was whatever. just cold roasted cauliflower in a dressing of sorts. inside it a small and intimate with low lighting. nice date place. Wondering if the pizza is any good

    Brunello
    Michiel D.

    Uva Enoteca allowed us to walk in on a casual weekday. We were seated kindly and promptly by the owner - who mentioned he's Pugliese himself. The dishes were served promptly and were tasty - not really standoutish for me personally but simple Italian elegance. The wine list was a treat though, and after ordering the brunello things seemed to smoothen out for us quite well.

    Pasta
    Steven S.

    The pasta I ate from this restaurant last night I was amazing. I loved eating my entire pasta dish which was cooked to perfection with a slightly tangy taste to it . The waiter there was very friendly and was very attentive to me. The overall ambiance was very impressive for an Italian restaurant. I highly recommend this place. I wish I could give this restaurant 20 stars !!

    Eggplant Parm and pizza, but...better.
    Leigh Ann P.

    In a city of great Italian restaurant options, Uva Enoteca stands apart. Featuring the cuisine of Puglia, the menu is not like your typical red sauce joint. I absolutely love every pasta dish I've ever ordered there. I'm vegetarian, so several times they have modified a dish to removed the meat. It's become one of our favorite restaurants in the city, either for a nothing-special weeknight dinner or a special occasion meal.

    Ella P.

    Cozy neighborhood Italian spot. This is very traditional Italian fare with really good cheese. Classic Italian food is usually simple and with fresh ingredients which this restaurant definitely delivers well. Servers give good recommendations for food and wine pairing. They handle complex allergy and dietary restrictions with grace and the appropriate care, they are good for gluten free, vegetarian, kosher, shellfish allergies, etc...

    Group Dinner

    Recently celebrated my birthday at Uva. They were able to make 30 of my guests feel at home. We were served abundant food and all of my friends (including Vegans and Pescatarians) had a great meal. Tony and team went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect, food was warm and timely, and always served with a smile. If all of that didn't convince you: My wife would commit a crime to get their pistacchio drizzled tiramisú. Come dine at Uva if you want to be treated with care!

The standing area next to the bar was also a cute spot to wait while our table was getting ready. Food-wise, we tried the crudo tasting while the other crudos were fine, they didn't stand out nearly as much as the scallop. The corn and mushroom pasta was very tasty, especially the sauce. We also tried the pesto pasta, which also had excellent texture, but the sauce tasted a bit more charred than I would have liked. Overall, I thought the atmosphere and dining experience were stronger than any individual dish. The communal seating and lively dining area gave the restaurant a great energy. I can see why this place is popular, and the tasting menu is a fun way to try a variety.

The experience began the moment we stepped into the restaurant in San Francisco, where she personally greeted and cared for her guests, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The Bruschetta was the perfect appetizer, a delicious, soft bread and fresh flavors of tomato, garlic and basil. For the entrée, I highly recommend Luisa's famous gnocchi with pesto sauce. Unlike the typical flour-heavy gnocchi, these potato-based dumplings were incredibly light, tender, and practically melted in your mouth while pairing beautifully with the savory pesto. To finish, the Cannoli Alla Siciliana provided the perfect balance of crunch and sweetness, with a hint of chocolate chips. Every dish shows the passion and tradition behind Luisa's cooking, making for a truly memorable dining experience and reflecting the diversity of San Francisco!

We also ordered a few appetizers for the table - Garlic Bread and Buratta. The Garlic Bread wasn't particularly memorable for me, but the Buratta was very tasty with the fresh pesto on top. I loved that most pasta dishes could be prepared with a choice of sauce, and ordered the Lobster Ravioli with Vodka Sauce. This was so tasty and surprisingly filling! My friends all enjoyed their dishes as well, including the Linguini Tuttomare, Penne Gorgonzola, and Chicken Parmigiana. Service was friendly and quick. Would happily return for more!

Even though the place was pretty packed and can be kind of noisy, I still felt very calm amongst all the healthy plants and loved the sophisticated 70s inspired glassware.
