Ristorante UvaSpina

Very very good. Good wine and good food

UvaSpina has a fantastic kitchen, wine production and a beautiful setting. All of the details are there and the arrival is a “wow” moment. We sat in the garden with a beautiful view. The food is really good, the menu is also very varied and we struggled to choose! Everything was delicious. However, it started to get dark around 9pm and we noticed that the service (for all 6 tables in the garden) seemed to become very limited and we were left in the dark. We asked the waiter if we could move inside, and he was accommodating. However, the owner then came and asked why we had taken up two tables. We explained we felt forgotten outside and were sitting in the dark for a long while. She seemed unhappy and insisted she actually didn’t speak our language (despite earlier in the evening introducing herself, asking where we are from, explaining her favourite wine etc). We offered the pay double cover charge (which was added to our bill), and the owner quite obviously avoided us for the rest of the evening, without even attempting to engage - she honestly would have found we had so many good things to say!!! UvaSpina gives the impression that it offers the very best, which is true of the food and setting and less of the owner. In hospitality, feedback can be varied but should at least be listened to. Despite this, we honestly recommend the food, but felt the need to post this review as we were unable to communicate these feelings on the spot.

We went to this restaurant on 31/10/21. The restaurant is pleasing on the eye, however, a restaurant is about how it makes you feel and I regret to say that we left with a bit of a sour taste in our mouth. We were under the impression that they were going to serve the Truffle 'degustazione' menu for dinner. When we did not see it on the menu, we asked the manageress about it. She told us that they served the truffle menu for lunch but said they could make a plan and serve us it for dinner. She seemed very nice initially. On the website the price was 60 euros for the truffle 'degustazione' (tasting) and we made it clear that we were selecting that option. Anyway, the night went on and we got some small truffle dishes. The same manageress came to take our drinks order and pushed us to get a much more expensive bottle of wine than the one we initially selected. Then came time for desert.The manageress came back and asked us for our choice of desert, from the way she asked, we became a bit suspicious that it was not included in the tasting menu like it said on website. She again pushed us to order the most expensive desert on the menu, ice cream with white truffle. Thanks to my suspicion I did not choose it. And boy were we in for a surprise! The bill was a ridiculous amount of money. They charged an extra 20 euros on every dish with truffle. We were tired and did not feel like arguing with them, but I decided to write this review because it's not about the money, it's about the feeling of being swindled. The manageress took total advantage of us and I recommend you to go elsewhere, where the people in service are more genuine and not out there to suck the money from you.

Excellent food and service. Great view from the garden. Prices are fair considering the level of the restaurant

Great menu with good options specially of antipasti. Egg with truffle, tartare and pasta were all well executed. Portions can not be considered big but we were happy with it. As final touch, I recommend the mascarpone ice cream with amarene and scotch whisky, a delightful surprise.

Really good food in a beatiful setting. The kitchen is timely and waiters are watchful and very kind. What bothered me have been prices: too expensive, even more if considering dishes with truffle. The fact that truffles are expensive doesn't mean that prices must be SO high. Also, portions are not abundant. I guess that these prices are inflated for tourists. I don't think i'll be back here, even if it's a good restaurant.

It was an amazing experience. The view was stunning, the service always polite and courteous, and the food was completely out of this world. My wife had the porched egg with cheese and truffles and she loved it. The combination was outstandingly flavourful unlike anything before. I had the veal cheaks which were so softly cooked that they fell apart just by looking at it. It all comes for a price, though. But it is definitely worth every cent!

Best service in the area, the food was amazing and well presented. Food and wine prices were extremely reasonable and the view and ambiance was great!
