   Although Yelp reviews were mediocre (3.9), we decided to try it after reading through a few recent great reviews. I took my boyfriend, mom, and sister. As soon as we walked in, the space felt welcoming and cozy. Beautiful lighting, soft music, and a warm design. We were greeted by the owner, who kindly walked us through their concept and menu. The menu has a great variety of pugliese dishes, and is friendly to vegetarians and vegans (two of us were). We ordered the cauliflower and burrata antipasti, two different orecchiette dishes, the vegan pizza, and the ravioli in the specials menu. I wish I had more positive comments about the food. We enjoyed the antipasti, although the bread did not impress. It tasted a bit too "flour-y". I would've also added a bit of acidity (splash of lemon, perhaps) to the cauliflower dish. When I tasted my sundried tomato pesto orrechiette, my mouth felt instantly overwhelmed by the saltiness (I wish I had savoured the sweetness of the tomatoes more). I shared this feedback with our waiter. The broccoli rabe and sausage orrechiette dish felt completely plain and flat after trying the sundried tomato one. The pizza was good, but nothing I'd come back for. My mom also commented her ravioli dish was simple in taste. Between us, we commented that this place was nice and the people running it were fit to massively improve the food. Best of luck!

   I'm so happy to have come across Uva Enoteca. All of the dishes that we tried were delicious and well-prepared. Our server was attentive, kind, and patient. I will definitely return!

   What a wonderful night we had! There were 6 of us and we were well taken care of. We felt transported to Italy. Food was terrific.

   Love the changes made…the Puglia influence is clear. The food is great; can’t wait to return.

   Uva Enoteca is authentic food from the Puglia region of Italy. We loved all the appetizers, particularly anything with the buffalo mozzarella. I had a special that had pasta with meat sauce with a little melted mozzarella on top - excellent. Wine list is strong, nearly all Italian.

   Dinner was delish and the service excellent. When we go back, we'll go on a Monday or Tuesday night instead of a Saturday night to avoid how noisy it was. All in all, one of the best meals we've had in SF.

    6 of us had first reservation of the night- Amazing service-knowledgeable, kind and professional service-We ordered almost all the recommended dishes-appetizer olives-fantastic,grilled, marinated veggies super-house made bread/oil terrific. The 2 orichetti dishes were great, but the almond pesto dish needed salt(sorry, table full of Italians,bound to be honest)the rigatoni,lovely-light ,and the truffle pizza was stellar! wine rec was ON POINT-Sour Cherry tart was sweeter than described, hoped for fresher/tart experience, the choc/hazlenut with breads was good, but nothing unusual- Tiramisu was UNREAL-worth the price of admission-honestly! We can’t wait to come again!
