What I wrote thereFold it away

Named after the Italian word for grapes, “Uva” is a charming restaurant with the ambiance of an old Tuscan villa, making it an ideal setting for a romantic date night. The year-round open back garden mirrors the cozy atmosphere of the interior. Yet, the true star is the food.

Uva’s fresh pasta, particularly the cathartic truffle gnocchi, is a food delight. With over 40 wines available by the glass, you won’t struggle finding a drink to complement your meal. Unfortunately there are no reservations for parties of less than six.
