Uva Next Door New York Reviews
Olivia was absolutely amazing. We had more guests than we had anticipated and the restaurant was so accommodating. The service was incredible, the food and $4 martinis were amazing, this will be our new spot! Thank you so much!
This is a wonderful date spot. The atmosphere is really wonderful and the music is not overpowering. It's good enough to have a conversation. The Martini Monday deal is really a nice treat. It's $4 Martinis with the purchase of food. I'll definitely be back. It's vegan and gluten free friendly.
In addition to being dinner regulars at Uva Next Door, we recently hosted a private event on a Saturday afternoon and it was an incredible experience!! The entire staff was so helpful, both in planning and execution of the event. The space was beautifully set up and they were very easy to work with on decorations, music, menus, etc. Our guests had an excellent time, the food was incredible, and the bar was open with their unique cocktail menu available! Highly recommend hosting an event at Uva Next Door!!
Loved the cocktails and appetizers. We had planned to visit Nightly's, but without a res it would have been a longer wait time, so their manager recommended us their sister restaurant, he kindly escorted us there and we got seats at the bar right away.
If you want to sample Italian food done the way real Italians do it, this is the spot. They insist on making fresh pasta every day and they import the flour used in the pizza bases. I've eaten many pizzas, but these are "next level"! Don't miss this one!
Hostess allowed me to sit for my reservation 15 mins early while I waited for my friend to arrive. I was able to order a cocktail in the meantime. Service was super attentive and efficient. Everything tasted great. Didn’t feel rushed despite being packed on a Thursday. Love!
We hosted our company holiday party at Uva Next Door for the second year in a row, and once again, they did not disappoint! Jayne was incredible throughout the entire planning process—organized, attentive, and truly a pleasure to work with. The event itself was outstanding. The room was beautifully decorated for the holidays, the cocktails were excellent, and the food was an absolute hit. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how cozy the space felt and how delicious everything was. We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend Uva Next Door for a private event or even just a lovely dinner out with family and friends.
We recently hosted our company holiday party at Uva Next Door, and it was nothing short of phenomenal. From the initial planning with Jane to the flawless execution the night of, every detail was handled with care and professionalism. The food was outstanding, the service was exceptional, and the entire staff was warm, attentive, and truly accommodating — so much so that our guests couldn’t stop complimenting them! The restaurant looked beautifully festive and created the perfect holiday atmosphere. If you’re considering an event, don’t hesitate — Uva Next Door is a fantastic choice. And if not for a party, definitely stop in for a delicious dinner. They never disappoint!
Truly the best atmosphere, service, and food….we sat at the bar because it was super busy but it did not impede on our service whatsoever..if anything, it was better. Jeronimo was super attentive to us and all questions we asked him about recommendations. He also made literally the best house drinks we had in a very long time. 1000% coming back and will look for him and his service
Five stars is not enough! As an Italian, I can say this is the most authentic and delicious pizza I’ve had outside of Italy. This pizza is perfection — from the crust to the sauce to the balance of flavors, everything tastes genuinely Italian. You can tell it’s made with passion and respect for true Italian tradition. Absolutely outstanding!
came here for restaurant week and it did not disappoint. everything was absolutely incredible and the service was so friendly and quick. I got the truffle gnocchi which was filling and SOOO tasty. love that they give pretty big portions here unlike a lot of other Italian places that give like 4 pieces of ravioli. eggplant and ricotta app was also a hit and mango sorbet was perfect way to end it.
Pizza was delicious. The chicken was very juicy and flavor. The sauce with the chicken was amazing. I’d skip the fish. The service was great. Waters were always refilled. The restaurant had a nice atmosphere in doors. Very good social distancing guidelines inside. I’ll be back next time back to the full restaurant UVA next door. UVA Next Door has more of a small bites with some wine or a cocktail vibe. Which was amazing. Cheers!
I haven’t been to UVA yet, so this was my first introduction. Overall, it was a good experience, but maybe not quite living up to the hype. The atmosphere: Inside, the design is very cool, except it is deafening. We sat outside in the cabana, and it was surprisingly more private than I thought. The only negative is that the tables are so small. For three people, there was barely enough space for all of our plates. The staff: all of the staff we encountered were very kind. Our server was helpful, but I think she had the entire outside to herself, so sometimes she would go missing. The food: I thought the pasta had lots of flavor. Unfortunately, my filled pasta was a bit overcooked and lost some texture.
Overall rating: 4.4 I came here for martini $4 Monday & boy was it good! The burger was good too! But! I can’t give a higher rating bc it’s people on top of people. It’s so crowded. The service was very hard to get & a reservation is def recommended. If you’re a young professional looking for a fun night I recommend. But being 30+ & living in Brooklyn, this wasn’t worth it to me. If I’m in the area, on a Monday, I might swing by. The all day happy hour is totally worth it if you’re strapped for cash. Recommend to the kiddos.
On November 28, we came in for dinner as a party of six, and unfortunately the service was terrible. The waitress rushed us the entire time and was overly assertive, even though we weren’t taking long by nyc standards. The restaurant was only half full, yet we were pressured from the moment we sat down. Some guests barely had time to look at the menu before being asked to order. The food was fine and the service completely ruined the experience. Because of how we were treated, we won’t be coming back.
