loved the ambiance here! intimate but still casual enough. the staff were professional and offered to walk us through the menu, specials, and wines. they also checked in often which was nice. I really enjoyed the pasta textures -- the orecchiette was al dente and had a good bite, while the fettuccine was silky smooth and light. the prices here are pretty reasonable too! read more

Five stars for a dinner that felt like a quick trip to Puglia right in the Haight. Uva Enoteca delivered hit after hit -- the Burrata e Prosciutto vanished instantly, the Funghi e Tartufo was rich and earthy perfection, and the Orecchiette della Mamma tasted like your Italian grandmother was quietly running the kitchen. Dessert sealed the deal: pistachio and cherry marmalade Puccia Dolce plus the Budino al Cioccolato. Conversation basically stopped after the first bites. Service from Kat was warm, relaxed, and perfectly timed. Cozy atmosphere and fantastic pasta. read more

Such a nice neighborhood spot for either a cozy sit-down dinner or an easy night in. I usually get it delivered, and the Paccheri Funghi e Salsiccia is my go-to. The mushrooms, truffle, sausage, and creamy sauce remind me of a pasta I had in Sicily, especially around Palermo. Simple, comforting, and so good. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

Uva Enoteca - Tiramisu it tastes as bad as it looks - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

Charming restaurant that's easy to miss in this busy street. I ordered Paccheri Funghi e Salsiccia that was delicious but felt the pasta was a little too al dente and had very little pork. There was a strong smell of bleach twice while I was there. I appreciate a clean restaurant, but it was unpleasant to smell while eating. Unfortunately I can see that others also complain that this dish has very little pork. read more

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 read more

The only positive feedback I have is the nice cozy venue. The staff didn't provide great service...very short and no smiles. The food was a big disappointment...the pizza was probably one of the worst I've had and the meatballs dish was crazy overpriced at $26 for 3 small meatballs . When there's so many great itlaian restaurants in the city you really have to up your game. Overall was a disappointing experience. read more

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! read more

Probably the worst pizza I've ever had. Can't believe it's not digiorno. I will not be coming back here. I'm upset I even decided to come here. I came to the filmore to come to Jules but they couldn't sit me so came here instead. I should have went home. It straight up looks like cafeteria pizza dawg. read more

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 read more

Good Egg plant parmesan .. good ambience , cool crowd . Good Service timely service .

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. read more

Quick update note, owner says the cauliflower salad was "not raw" and of course not hot and the vegetables were roasted.

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 read more

More of a 3.5 for me, but 4 for my partner. Good neighborhood restaurant - wouldn't go out of your way to eat here, but it's not a bad option to walk in and grab a seat for an impromptu dinner on Friday night. The owner is super friendly and passionate about sharing food from his home region of Puglia. The burrata e proscuitto (featuring burrata from Puglia and traditional Puccia bread) was my favorite dish, I loved the warm bread paired with creamy burrata and prosciutto. The rapette (beet salad) was fine, not bad, not memorable. The paccheri funghi pasta my boyfriend enjoyed. The salsiccia e provolone pizza was not for me (a bit of it is personal preference, I don't love super cheesy / oily pizza, and prefer an airier dough). read more

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. read more

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. read more

Uva Enoteca - Eggplant Parm and pizza, but...better. - Italian Near Me - San Francisco, California

I want to give this place 5 stars but I can't. I ordered (via delivery service) both the Paccheri Funghi e Salasiccia and the Tiramisu. The flavor of the Paccheri Fughi e Salasiccia was WONDERFUL but the pasta was absolutely undercooked and there were about four tiny pieces of sausage (for a $24??). I ordered with 5 minutes to spare on the delivery app so I don't know if the staff was upset with a late order or what but I was very disappointed. As for the Tiramisu.....they packed it ON TOP OF MY HOT PASTA WITH NO BARRIER!!!! When my order finally arrived, it was warm. Sigh!! ‍ I also never had it made like a pudding with very little lady fingers in it and smothered in chunks of chocolate, but I've never been to Italy. read more

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... read more

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! read more

The service and ambiance were lovely but unfortunately the food was not as good as the vibes (wine list was good though). My party of 3 ordered the marinated vegetable appetizer with the pugliese bread; vegetables were good but nothing special and bread was unfortunately underwhelming. We got the orecchiette and the "not sandwich" sandwich. Orecchiette was a little cold when it was served and undersalted and quite al dente. The not sandwich was good. I probably wouldn't come here again but if I were I would have wine and apps or the not sandwich. I believe it to be "authentic" southern Italian food so ymmv ‍ read more

We have always loved the vibe and the food here but haven't been back in a handful of years and have heard that the restaurant may have changed hands and didn't know what to expect from the new ownership. We finally returned last night and were not disappointed. The food was delicious and our server and the entire staff were super friendly and knowledgeable of the menu and wine. The space is cozy and inviting. We will absolutely try to come back more often. read more

Incredible service and food! Cute, small, intimate setting. Everything was delicious.

Came here Saturday night for dinner with a party of 5. We called ahead and were able to get a last minute reversion at 845 pm. All of the staff were so nice and welcoming! Very informative on the menu - they mentioned they had new ownership. All of the food was delicious! We got a cheese platter - remember TJ order some bread! We shared 2 pastas, eggplant parm, and the mushroom pizza and we were all content. read more

I liked the vibe, food and service. I really love Italian food and was quite excited to come here and try their dishes. The interior is very intimate and the staff are quite welcoming and casual which I really like. The dishes themselves taste well done, never too savory or overpowering. Really lets the ingredients lead the experience. I came with a group of 9 and we all ordered separate dishes, none of us really experienced any service hiccups or long spans of time waiting for dishes. I shared a diavola pizza and it was delicious, very savory and a tad spicy. I also got the Orecchiette pasta and it was fresh and light. With chili flakes and a bit of olive oil it's perfect. Additionally the table shared 2 orders of bread that were delicious, I'm a fan of a crispy bread and they did a great job with that and the olive oil dip. I just wish they didn't charge for the bread. While I really liked all aspects of this place, nothing particularly stood out as spectacular. For my next visits I will be looking for that factor read more

What a great find. Nice ambience and the friendliest servers. And the pastas are the best in the city. We shared the burrata and prosciutto rigatoni and meat sauce and the sausage raviolli in pesto. Every pasta dish was perfect as were the tiramasu and the other deserts. We want to go back and try the pizzas this week. The prices are very reasonable the wine list extensive and well priced read more

Five stars for this neighborhood gem! Stumbled upon the restaurant during a walk and decided to try it out. You can tell the owners put passion and care into their food. Quiet and intimate atmosphere, slightly upscale. Food was high quality and prices were reasonable. DO NOT miss their desserts. I'm not a huge dessert person, but the Tiramisu was incredible!! Not too sweet and had a wonderful pistachio ganache with cacao nibs. We also ordered the beet salad which was great, Margherita pizza (delicious sauce and great crust) and the Paccheri alle melanzane (Al dente and delicious smoked cheese). read more

Living nearby it's nice having a somewhat more upscale place in the neighborhood. Orecchiette Cime di Rapa was visually interesting as well as delicious with a mild vegetable bitterness adding to the flavors. The bread of course is wonderful and the burrata and prosciuitto should not be missed. The desserts aren't an afterthought either. I did leave with the slight impression that I wasn't quite sophisticated enough to dine here, but I can live with that. read more

We picked up dinner from Uva Enoteca for my birthday and had such a wonderful experience from start to finish. We ordered the Pasta Pomodoro, Kale Salad, Olive e Taralli Pugliesi, Paccheri Funghi e Salsiccia, and Tiramisu, everything was absolutely delicious, fresh, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. My partner mentioned it was my birthday when he called in the order, and the team went above and beyond by including a complimentary Pannacotta with a birthday candle. It was such a sweet and thoughtful surprise, and it really made my night. Highly recommend this gem of a restaurant, not only is the food incredible, but the people behind it are equally lovely. We'll definitely be back. Thank you, Uva Enoteca! read more

I've been here three times since they changed ownership and have been delighted each time! The owner, Antonio, is very friendly, knowledgeable and charming as well as his staff. The orecchiette is sooo delicious and unlike anything I've ever had before. I don't eat pork so Antonio suggested I substitute it with anchovies (which is how he says it's traditionally cooked) and it had the most delicious umami flavor. Not pictured but the meatballs are juicy and flavorful too and the Puccia bread is pillowy soft. The vibes are classy and chill. Would recommend!! read more

Their mushroom pizza is soooo goood. I have never tasted such a meaty and bitey mushroom pizza. No slimy mess, no rubbery mushrooms, just delicious fresh hearty shrooms! Oh, and can we talk about the crust please? Perfectly soft and chewy, just the way I like it! I am not a fan of a crispy crust, save that for toast please. The crust was charred just enough on the outside, with a soft and fluffy center. Their burrata with pesto is also delicious, but did not like the 4 measly pieces of super crunchy toast. Not enough to scoop up that yummy burrata. Great pizza place, small and intimate, definitely will be back for their amazing mushroom pizza! read more

If you appreciate authentic, delicious Italian food, fine service & a friendly atmosphere RUN to this small, high quality, charming, clean, neighborhood restaurant. FANTASTIC food, service and vibe! We just hosted the perfect birthday dinner party at Uva Enoteca for 17+ guests. It was the easiest/most fun party I've ever thrown. Antonio, the owner, from Apulia, Italy, brings ingredients from his home town, delicious family recipes and elegant plates. He was very attentive to all the details and made sure we were happy. I HIGHLY recommend Uva in SF for a party of any size. read more

The service is excellent as is the wine selection. They make a point to have wines from the Italian region they are largely trying to emulate. The menu is small but what they do they do well. Each of their dishes is simple but elevated to the highest possible level with those simple ingredients and dishes in mind. The appetizer prices are a little high and they use canola oil to cut their olive oil (though it's the best canola oil-olive oil blend I've ever had). The ambiance is simple but elegant much like all of their food. Highly recommend the eggplant parm. Either elevating their appetizers a bit more or dropping appetizer price and improving the oil would make this a 5 star place. read more

The Italian food here is so well done. The recommended white wine pairing was delicious. We ordered the Paccheri Alle Melanzane, Rigatoni Al Pomodoro, Melanzane Alla Parmigiana, and Funghi E Tartufo. All were amazing. The Paccheri was my favorite though, as it was a smokey tasting pasta, something I never tried before but now I'm a big fan of. The Rigatoni was a classic dish, but was done SO well that I absolutely loved it. The Melanzane was melt in your mouth delicious, and the funghi pizza was mushroom heavy, which I loved. All great dishes to try there!! We also ordered a couple of appetizers. I wouldn't really order those again because the main courses were such stand out dishes, but the appetizers were good in their own right. read more

Came here for restaurant week although the menu wasn't super interesting but definitely had comfort picks. Service was good, Emilio kept coming over asking how everything was and was helpful with the menu. Ambiance of the restaurant is similar to something you would find in NY. Took me awhile to find the entrance but once inside it's really bright and airy in the front and more of that brick hole in the wall vibe in the back. Crostini Trio: A really solid starter. Got to try the eggplant/ricotta (?), hummus with chickpeas, and chicken liver mousse. Eggplant was really tender and was surprisingly pleasant, considering I'm not usually a fan of eggplant. Ricotta was perfect touch of creaminess. Hummus was solid, not really a standout. A little overkill on the chickpeas though. Chicken liver mousse was giving a pate vibe and a very generous portion. 4.5/5 Beet Salad: Not a fan of this but honestly bc Im biased on beets. A really refreshing appetizer if you do like beets though. Ricotta was whipped to airy perfection. Helped balance the beet taste on my palette. 3/5 Carbonara: I absolutely love carbonara but I will say that this tasted more like a fettuccine than carbonara. It's missing that emulsification of the fat and cheese that creates that decadent savoriness in carbonara. But aside from that, it would pass off as a good fettuccine dish. Honestly not sure how this was made but it was good, just didn't hit as a carbonara. 3.5/5 Eggplant: Really surprising. Super tender eggplant, sweet tomato sauce, and fresh cheese. A bite of this was really good and had nice flavor and freshness to it. 4/5 Panna Cotta: Love panna cotta and this one was good. Nothing really stood out but really liked the crunch of the added frosted flakes. Raspberries and the sauce added a mild tartness to balance out the sweet vanilla of the panna cotta. 4/5 Overall a really good experience. I would go back to try some stuff off their normal menu that caught my eye. I would recommend this spot for a nice casual eat. read more

Came here for SF restaurant week this past Saturday and we made a reservation for 3. The host was super accommodating and nice so appreciate the good service! We ordered from the SF restaurant week set menu and some of us got the margarita pizza and the others got the carbonara. I thought the 2 balanced each other out really well since the pizza was pretty tomato-y and the carbonara was super creamy! The meal also came with complimentary glass of Prosecco which was really good too. I think the best part was definitely the dessert thought. The chocolate mousse melts immediately in your mouth and was not too sweet. Overall solid place, food was good but nothing blew my mind so decided to give 4 stars. If you are near by and craving Italian food, definitely worth a try! read more

I came here for a mom's night out with a friend. The food is Pugliese and I gather they are under new ownership. Our appetizers were vegetable-heavy (rapette and cavolifiori) and everything was fresh and not overcooked. The pasta dishes were delicious. The server kindly helped me bumble through the wine list. We were seated next to the kitchen door which was a bit unpleasant, but somebody has to be and staff did their best to make us comfortable and minimize disruptions. read more
