Uva Enoteca

We love this place. Since they opened it’s been our neighborhood go to for Italian and is just consistently great. Tonight we decided to wander along Divisadero to grab a bite and every place we checked had a 30-40 minute wait. So, we shrugged our shoulders and headed to what we knew would be a solid, comforting meal. There was only one other table with diners which broke my heart but you know what? The food was still excellent, the service cheerful and we left happy.

We ordered the Salami pizza and Smoked Mozzarella pizza for delivery. Both arrived perfectly prepared and in exquisite presentation, almost too pretty to eat. Almost. The Salami pizza (Spicy salame, mozzarella, pecorino, calabrian chilis, san marzano tomatoes, red onions, clover honey) had a cool bit of honey that complemented the chilis so well, loved it. Maybe a touch too much honey for me but great nonetheless. The Smoked Mozzarella (Smoked mozzarella, toybox tomatoes, garlic, basil, black pepper) was just a simple, well seasoned pizza that tasted sublime. Yum. Recommend trying out, we are looking forward to trying more from their menu. Feb 2016.

SF restaurant week special! The kale salad was perfect, that pop of mint in there really did it for me. The beets were fine but could use some citrus or feta cheese. Pasta and pizza were cooked to perfection. The sauce on the pomodoro was addictive and the mozzarella on the pizza was super high quality. Desserts were great too, could have gone with half the amount of peanuts on the mousse and the Pana cotta was divine! Thanks for a great meal! A solid choice.
