    Garganella alla Vodka
    Cara T.

    Another update and this time, not for martini Monday! Shocking, I know! I brought my mom and sister here Thursday before seeing a show at the York Theater. We got a last minute reservation and were seated right away. The service was fantastic and everyone loved the food and drinks that they got. I had the penne a la vodka for the first time and added burrata. It was so delish and a vegetarian dish. The burrata made it so creamy and truly took it to the next level. My mom got a special that was an eggplant pasta dish and my sister got one of my favs, the truffle gnocchi. 10s across the board! Overall, another fantastic meal at UVA. One of my favorite spots on the UES!

    We were seated outside in the corner closest to the street. There seats were definitely crammed in - the nicest part was due to being in the corner we only felt like we were eating with one couple instead of 2+. This is very common in NYC, so not going to penalize UVA Next Door for this although I do think it played into some service related issues we had later in the night. Otherwise ambiance was nice and definitely a trendy type spot. The food was delicious. We started with the Steak Bruschetta and Meatballs Next Door, both were fantastic. Drinks came shortly before our appetizers. The pizza was my partners entree and it came out about 5 minutes prior to my pasta which was a little bizarre but fine. The server did apologize for the delay and I was able to enjoy a slice while waiting for my meal. My pasta was perfectly cooked - seafood (octopus, shrimp) was fantastic. As advertised there was a little bite. We ordered another round of drinks with dinner and were looking forward to sharing a dessert. We wrapped the second half of our pizza (which was going to make for a nice lunch) and ordered the ravioli dessert. We were brought 1 plate and 2 spoons but the rocky road ravioli never followed. We tried to get the attention of anyone which proved difficult due to our seat. It appeared our server was sent home or something because we couldn't find her and the other coverage people ignored us. When we finally got the attention of someone (it had been almost 30 minutes) we just requested the check. I had to go inside and track someone down on our way out to get them to remove the missing Rocky Road Ravioli from our bill. They were apologetic and asked if we wanted it wrapped up to go but at that point we were over it. We did stop for ice cream on our way home to scratch that itch as the neighborhood has plenty of options in that regard. It was disappointing as this was our first time at UVA Next Door and we had enjoyed meals at UVA previously. We'll be back again at some point to give them a second try and will definitely be paying more attention to the service.

    Pizza was solid but wish there were a smidge more toppings-- the pasta seems to be very popular here and I wish we got it, but there's always next time! Cheers!

    This place was great. It was recommend from a local in New York. The portion was a bit small for the price but the food was sooo tasty. The service was fast and really sweet when I left my scarf behind. Thank you!

    Great ambiance. The lighting isn't too dim, and overall, the vibe is very cozy. I enjoyed my experience at Uva Next Door and am excited to return. I ordered the Gnocchi di Ricotta, a balanced and creamy dish with a hint of truffle. I also ordered the Seasonal Burrata to start, a light appetizer that delivered a cool yet fluffy impression. The server and staff were also very kind, which is always a plus!

    They have really huge portions and I would definitely recommend the gnocchi. Very busy restaurant so get there before the dinner rush. It took us over an hour to get our entree while the tables around us who arrived after all got served. They did offer a drink to make up for it, however it did take a really long time to get our food. Great place for people who are gluten free as they have many options for that

    I love my experience here every time I visit!! Most recently we here for my anniversary dinner and they made it so special - with a plated dessert and message to top it off! Our server Moro (unsure of spelling) was so friendly and attentive throughout, and the server that took over later, Luciano, was also good. The ambiance is dimly lit and sometimes it can get a little loud and crowded, but it's worth it! As vegetarians, I feel this spot always has good options to choose from. This time, we got the Eggplant and Ricotta, Truffle Fries, Gnocchi di Ricotta, and Pizza Margharita with added onions. Everything was fresh with good sized portions and wonderful flavors! For dessert, we got the crème brûlée cheesecake which was amazing! This is one of our go to Italian spots in NYC and the service makes it even better!!

    restaurant week at uva next door was incredible. For everything you get it is so worth the money and this is one of the only restaurant places with such a large menu to choose from that is pre-fixed. as a vegetarian too, I felt like I had tons of options to choose from and my favorite was the eggplant and ricotta appetizer. I also wanna say that the portions were very substantial and way more than a lot of other Italian places typically serve. we were so stuffed and satisfied by the end of the meal and we're so happy with the incredible and kind service that we were met with here. I also got the gnocchi with black black truffle, which I loved and I really enjoyed the mango sorbet for dessert. even though it was pretty crowded, it did feel cozy with the warm lighting and decor.

    I have nothing but positive things to say about this place. Great quality food, good atmosphere, & great service! The Sunday supper is a great deal.

    Calamari

    Maybe this is the least kept secrete on the UES but you have to go for martini monday! This was the perfect way to start the week with some friends. What's better than cheap drinks and delicious wood fired pizza?

    Veal Paillard
    Joel S.

    We got a last minute table at this hopping outpost of the Lusardis-Uva empire. The space was dark, the tables close together and the playlists loud. This is definitely a millennial- gen Z scene. It's not a place to linger over a quiet meal. This may have been partially due to restaurant week, but the high energy fast moving vibe was pervasive. Having said that, the food was really good. The calamari was fried perfectly- crisp and light. My wife swooned over her meatballs and chicken parm. The veal paillard was very good and relatively light. The torta was like a very good brownie. The price oil cake was pretty good. The staff were lovely. Very good food but the ambience didn't work for us. If you like this kind of a scene, add a star.

    I had such a fun experience at See No Evil Pizza. The pizza flavors were incredibly inventive…read more(definitely not your standard slice) and everything we tried felt thoughtfully put together. The arancini was a standout: perfectly crisp on the outside, creamy inside, and served with a rich, delicious sauce that tied it all together. We ended on the tiramisu, which was absolutely worth saving room. It was light, flavorful, and a perfect finish to the meal. What really elevated the experience, though, was the staff. Everyone was genuinely kind and helpful--especially notable for New York--and it made the whole evening feel relaxed and welcoming. A small heads-up: it's a bit tricky to find, so give yourself extra time. That said, the hidden, underground subway setting is part of the charm and makes the whole experience feel unique. I'd love to see more restaurants creatively use these kinds of spaces in the future.

    Tucked away in the most unexpected spot, See No Evil is truly one of those rare hidden gems you…read morealmost don't want to tell people about, but absolutely should. It is located right in the hallway of a subway entrance, next to a bar and across from a coffee shop, and it somehow manages to feel like a cozy, sit-down restaurant right in the middle of NYC. Don't let the odd location fool you, the food here is outstanding. The Neapolitan and Sicilian-style pizzas are both exceptional, with rich, well-balanced flavors and perfectly executed crusts. Every bite tastes high quality. Also, don't skip the house-made lemonade! The experience is even better because of the incredibly friendly and attentive staff. They were all so kind to so many people. From offering to keep leftovers in the fridge until a customer was done at their broadway show, to offering a scone to a young child while he and his father waited for their pizza to be done, it was more than just flipping a table and onto the next tip, it was humanity at its best. Be sure to give See No Evil Pizza a try. You certainly will want to come back again for more.
