   Uva Enoteca is a great Italian neighborhood wine and food bar. They have a simple menu, but everything I’ve had is good. The pasta is fresh, the sauces are incredible with a depth of flavor, and there’s a great selection of wines to choose from. I feel lucky that it’s just two blocks away from my house.

   We had a great time and food came out fast. The rigatoni pasta was a little heavy on salt but everything was just delicious. ESP the wine

   Neighborhood spot thats stood the test of time. Neapolitan style pizzas, pasta, and small dishes. Somethings are great, others rotate. Staff is welcoming and friendly, usually cozy and warm inside, with parklet for warm days. Solid date night, friend gathering with wine, or solo bar spot. Mid price point.

   My siblings and our spouses were all in town for the Christmas holiday; We enjoyed our experience at UVA Enoteca. I choose the restaurant using “ filters “ of 2 $$, Italian, gluten free options, and 4.2 ratings or higher. The restaurant met expectations. Five of six ordered pasta and they were delicious- including 2 gluten free items. The arugula salad was our favorite of the 4 different salads we ordered. Endive was an ingredient in most salads and our group did not care for the bitter flavor it added to the salads. The service was super and the restaurant quiet so we could hear each other.

   Party of 13. Good service. Appetizers very good and on table when arrived at 5:30 before 8 pm concert at St. Ignatius . Pasta and pizza good. Very good service. Many guests told me very much enjoyed. Generous portions Seated at long table at front of restaurant- less noise and could easily converse across table. Very good Communication about what to expect

   Very warm, friendly welcome and wonderful server behind the bar/counter, Jordan. She was so accommodating and great about recommendations. I would come back just to have her again. The meats starter was okay. The chopped romaine salad was delicious full of cubed salami. We had the eggplant and grilled octopus dishes - both excellent. I highly recommend UVA Enoteca!

   AVOID THIS PLACE! 1. The most over-salted olives I had ever tasted - so much salt that they must employ someone to add more salt to it every few minutes. It's like you can't even taste olives - you just taste SALT 2. Enoteca (part of the place's name) is an Italian word that is derived from the Greek word Οινοθήκη, which literally means "wine repository" - I'm sorry, but a couple of dozens of wines is NOT a depository, there is a better choice of wine at pretty much any restaurant. Wine itself is pretty good, but the list of wines is so short, it's ridiculous. Definitely NOT a "wine repository" :) 3. We had octopus, which was recommended by a friend - it wasn't "bad", but it wasn't anything special. Also, the way they serve is is good for a diner, but definitely not for a rather expensive restaurant. 4. The beet salad with goat cheese was excellent 5. Service was very nice and the waiter very attentive and accommodating. Overall, AVOID! There are literally hundreds of great restaurants in SF, this one is a waste of time.

   Uva EnotecaResponded on December 6, 2022I am sorry that our olives were a bit on the salty side for your taste. We do not add salt to the recipe for marinated olives. I will double-check to ensure they are making it correctly. As for wines, we have over 50 bottles of wine on our wine list ranging in all prices and Italian varietals. I am sorry this did not suffice the taste or excite your palate. We hope you can visit us soon and give us another chance. Travis Lee Director of Operations

    First time I've been here and would definitely go again. We had a delicious kale salad and orecchiette with broccoli rabe and fennel sausage. I had a nice white wine and my friend had the Uva spritzer which she really liked. Nice people and good food.

    Loved the octopus and chopped salad. The roasted cauliflower salad was pretty boring. Great portions all around, for all three dishes. Limited wine selections but excellent wine nonetheless. Excellent service and the space is chill and very well designed. Will definitely come back to try more dishes.

    Excellent food at very reasonable prices (especially for San Francisco). Ambience in the front half wasn't exactly date-level but friendly staff and a clean efficient restaurant. We were almost most impressed by the appetizers, the kale mixed salad (and particularly the toasted almonds) was amazing as were the beets. All of our main dishes were quite good as well, Pasta Pomodoro, Eggplant, Lasagna. Would come back!

    The food was good but we ordered the baked eggplant and it was barely Luke warm. Not ideal since of course it came stopped with cheese that was not melted enough so it was just hard and gummy. Somewhat confusing as it came in a terra cotta pot that was clearly meant for the oven?
