About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Good for business meals

Uva Rossa means 'red grape' in Italian. This wine bar specializes in wine and small, shareable plates with a varied selection of cheeses, bruschettas and pizza. In addition to full portion dining and our daily blackboard specials. Italian born chef/owner Antonio Bove creates outstanding Northern and Southern Italian dishes with a twist! Featuring recipes from his childhood. Amongst the restaurant's favorites are his meatballs topped with a tasty parmigiano sauce and of course his infamous eggplants balls, which are delicious and perfect for vegetarians.

There is an extensive wine list and we are now proudly featuring the first wine on tap in Long Island.

The restaurant has an old world, rustic feel with lots of exposed brick, stucco and wrought iron, and a romantic flair with candles everywhere.

So join us at Uva Rossa for a most memorable dining experience - from our food to our service and friendly atmosphere.

When UVA Rossa first opened years ago, I dined there twice and then did not return due to the excessive noise level. Well it had been several years so I gave it a try last night and it was absolutely no better. If you don’t want to talk to the people you are dining with, then this restaurant is perfect for you. Food was okay.

Uva Rossa has the potential to be such a fantastic dining experience! Way too noisy and we could not hear the people at our table speaking. Not a good choice for a quiet, calm romantic dinner.

We had a fantastic meal at Uva Rossa, as usual. Great service from our server and all of the staff, very attentive and exceptional food. I love that the menu highlights the region of Italy the dishes are native to. We had a delicious new salad that consisted of portobello mushrooms, beets, arugula and goat cheese. The Trapanese pasta (Sicily) was extremely flavorful. Great cocktails and desserts. Antonio really cooks authentic Italian food. I highly recommend.

We have been here a few tones before. We went for mothers day food was good, the waitress was great. Seemed a little pricey but that’s expected on a holiday.
