Miguel was our server on this busy night!
I highly recommend making reservations we had reservations for 815 and didnt get seated until 830 packed house from tables to bar area!!
This restaurant is a very rustic renaissance appearance with a cozy atmosphere. The draw at UVA Rossa is Tapas small plates, a few entree-size dishes, and their selection of reasonable price wine. The restaurant was very busy and was quite noisy. Our server did mention that they were very busy, and we should expect delays on being served. They did provide our cocktails rather quick. The only small plate we ordered were the Meatballs, one being the eggplant ball as an appetizer. The Meatball appetizers seem to be too creamy for my taste. My entrée was the Pan seared salmon with onion, capers and lemon sauce over spinach which I thought was good. One of my companions had the Grilled Skirt Steak that was good, but a small portion for an entrée. Meanwhile, the wine was good for the price.
I went here for a wedding shower and it was probably the nicest place I've ever been to a shower/party.
The restaurant is beautiful with plenty of parking and inside seating. The food is some of the most delicious I've ever tasted and the sangria is to DIE for.
The staff is incredibly kind and attentive and I just really wish I lived closer so I could be a regular.
Try the vegetarian meatballs, WOW! I'll be back here again, watch me!
Forgot to Check-In in Friday… This place has character with its communal table near the bar and rustic entrance. Was surprised we were seated early. Hostess and waitress were both very friendly and knowledgeable. Beet salad was a nice light meal. Enjoyed their Taleggio and Moliterno al vino cheese platters as they paired well with their Tempranillo. Red sangria by the glass was pleasant (be careful as it is a generous serving by the glass and before you know it you'll be surprisingly drunk). Sorry didn't give them 5-stars because I need to have the full dining experience before determining if it's worthy of a 5-star rating.
Located in the town of Malverne on the south shore of Long Island this wine bar has stole my heart. Absolutely amazing food and customer service. I couldn't believe that this small-town gem would be so amazing. Yes I've drove by this place so many times over the years but never would've thought what I was missing out on, oh I was so wrong. I could totally kick myself for not coming in sooner all these years and I've been missing out on this hidden little gem.
The food is absolutely to die for I started with the meat platter pencetta and the prosciutto 2 for $12 I then moved on to my entrée which I ordered the meatballs. I'll be honest I'm not really meatball kind of person but the photos posted on Yelp looked so good that I had to order. If you love meatballs you definitely have to try there's they were absolutely spectacular the best meatballs I've ever had. they were soft, chewy and packed with just enough flavor and of course goes down great but a few glasses of wine.
Great customer service, tentative and not overbearing. Great spot for a romantic date night. I will definitely be a returning customer.
Recently I came here for a private party and man was it good. So good.. I want to go back and check out other things that I saw on the menu.
This private party was more of a "Tapas" party rather than a sit down which was pretty neat. The place looks kinda small from the outside but once you walk in, it's a good size.
First came out a margherita pizza which everyone went crazy for. It was pretty good. Next came out some fried calamari with a regular sauce and a spicy sauce. I went for the spicy because I tend to enjoy a little heat. That sauce would've been awesome with some fresh Italian bread to go along with it. Then some meatballs came out. Those I could've honestly easily forgotten about because my mom and I make some pretty awesome meatballs (all nice and crispy too might I add…). Shortly thereafter, out came a salad and penne alla vodka. I didn't go for the salad and had a little bit of the penne alla vodka. I was looking forward to seeing what else came out. And BOY! Am I glad I waited… because in my opinion the grand finale was just… to die for. Out came a dish known as Polla alla Uva Rossa. HOLY SMOKES! So good I just want to run back and eat it all. It's fried chicken cutlets topped with grapes, cranberries, figs, in this incredibly delicious sweet and sour port wine sauce.
Dessert was cake and cannolis. The cake was brought in by the friend hosting the party and that was also really good.
The bathroom was a "onesie" but it was HUGE and clean!!!
Will I be back? ABSO-FREAKING-LUTELY! This would probably be a great place for a UYE or to hang out with some of my fellow buddies from Yelp!
Food, wine & atmosphere: a trifecta of excellence.
My wife and I visited Uva Rossa for the first time on a Wednesday night. We met our "veteran" friends for dinner. In a nutshell, they hyped it up for us and Uva Rossa delivered.
Firstly, the ambiance is awesome. Perfect for a date night or small get together with friends. Rustic Italy meets modern and trendy. The restaurant seemed to seat many but small enough that it maintains an intimate feel.
The evening commenced with fresh bread and a vast wine selection. Our group listened intently as the waitress meticulously listed off the specials of the day. (side note: don't ignore this part and pretend you're listening. You may think you know what you want already because you read the menu on your way over to the restaurant. The specials are out-of-bounds, creative and are not to be disregarded)
We shared various appetizers, Italian meats and could not get enough. I ordered a special rigatoni dish for my main course and devoured it. Didn't need a dessert, but still went for it.
Everything at Uva Rossa was on-point. I'm ready for my next visit.
Delicious meal, attentive service, comfortable ambiance. We took a friend here for her 50th birthday because we
Wanted to go somewhere special and people have been talking about Uva Rosa. Best food I have had on Long Island in a long time! To get a reservation we needed to arrive by 5:15 so the restaurant was quiet but when we left at 7 it was hoppin and people were eating at the bar! The wrapped figs were my favorite, and my spinach salad was a healthy portion and I didn't want it to end. Highly recommend Uva Rossa!!
