Uva 1486 2nd Avenue, Manhattan, New York,

"Left very disappointed, food wasn’t good, pasta was tasteless, not feeling fresh. Sauces was not good neither, ragu meat felt like carton. Also ordered chicken and it was a shoe sole. Apart from the piece of plastic no one knew from where it came from… Artichokes burnt till taste was gone, super chewy. Expected at least good quality and some flavor for the price you pay. Kitchen needs to improve, service was really good."

"Beautiful spot for a cozy holiday dinner. There is a back garden area that is open in winter and covered that is lovely. The bar area is great too. They offer cheese plates and Italian cuisine. The food was just okay. I didn't have any pasta I will admit though. I did have the bruschettas which were fine and the pear and gorgonzola salad with chicken added which wasn't special. Favorite part was the chocolate salami dessert. Very tasty and easy to share at a table of multiple guests. To me it is more about the atmosphere. Grab a reservation though, we were there on a Tuesday night and it was packed!"

"Alisa was fantastic as our server! She paid close attention to detail and even made sure I received a new menu since the original one she was about to hand me was dirty. The staff were fantastic and made sure I never had empty water. Food was great. Im a stickler for being kind and it was sad to see management be rude to staff. The hostess at the front didn’t deserve particular comments made by the manager. This is the reason for a 4/5."

"The truffle gnocchi is to die for! We liked it so much we ordered another plate of it, and it arrived fresh and hot, like biting into a warm cloud. I’d come again and again just for if. The pesto pasta is also great, tastes very freshly made. Came as a close 2nd to the gnocchi. The burrata appetizer is also good and beautifully plated. Only downside is that it does get very noisy when packed and the tables are very close to eachother, making noise unavoidable. However, the great food makes up for it. Definitely one of the best spots in NYC."

"It’s good that it open late night, so we stopped buy around 11pm. The waitress was friendly at first but after we placed the order, we never saw her again. We were sitting with empty glasses and busboy came to ask us for last call and tell us the kitchen is closing if we want something more. He was amazing really! Food was good. I don’t like pesto, but felt like having it that night and didn’t regret. Also the polenta with truffle and ricotta was the best I ever had"
