I've passed Uva for years now, & have heard great things about this wonderful BYOB in Richboro. I finally had a chance to dine there on a recent Saturday night & am delighted to report that the food was fresh & delicious. Although parking in this strip mall was more difficult than I had anticipated, it was worth it. The restaurant feels fresh & clean with crisp white linen tablecloths & folded black napkins set on the tables with both wine & water glasses & fresh flowers. Fresh Italian bread with a crispy crust is served with a garlic & herb oil is a nice start while deciding what to order. Plenty of specials were presented by a friendly & efficient waiter who also opened our wine bottles. I started by splitting the Mozzarella in Carozza appetizer with another diner. This was 5 nice rounds of deep fried buffalo mozzarella with a fresh tomato sauce. We both felt that the sauce could have benefitted from some garlic or heat. Others raved about the Crab Bisque & the Beet & Goat Cheese salad. My entree was the Veal Parmagiana with Angel Hair pasta. I don't usually get a chance to order a good veal parmesan & thought this had to be the place - & I was right! The veal was two large, delicious, tender, perfectly breaded & cooked pieces of veal cutlet covered in a generous amount of fresh mozzarella & a fresh tomato sauce made from crushed tomatoes and a perfect balance of seasonings. I chose to have angel hair pasta instead of the penne. It was perfectly cooked al dente & had the same sauce with the requested extra garlic. I could only eat half of my entree & am looking forward to having a second meal from what I took home with me. Others in my group raved about the salmon & the Seafood Fettuccini Alfredo special, rich with a large 6 oz. lobster tail, shrimp & crabmeat. I'd like to go back to try their lamb shank with asparagus risotto. The prices were reasonable for this level of dining. My veal was $29.50 & the appetizer was &14.00. We were all too full to try their desserts, though the tray presented wasn't all that persuasive. I'll be back. There's a reason they've lasted this long & consistently have rave reviews.

Food was good. Service was good. Prices are a bit high. The restaurant was nice, but there is little to no space to move. The servers had to squeeze around every one seated to serve food etc. Also, having a single bathroom for each gender. There seemed that someone was always waiting. The food we all had was amazing except for the shrimp bisque. It had one shrimp in it in the middle of the bowl. The restaurant is in a strip shopping center and parking is ok. This establishment is BYOB.

The appetizer of shrimp stuffed with crabmeat and lobster in a lemon cream sauce was tasty and fresh. The grouper special had lump crab meat and was seasoned nicely, and they give you a nice portion. We had the turtle cheesecake, which was a creamy cheesecake with a bottom chocolate layer and caramel. Good way to finish off the meal. The service is always good and the atmosphere is lively and fun. One of my favorites.

My husband and I shared a Caesar salad. It was definitely large enough for two. It was good. My husband asked the price of one of the specials. We were four people at the table and we all heard him say a lower price. I had Cajun salmon. It was a small piece and very dry. I asked for a side of the sauce that's used for the regular salmon. When the check came we were surprised to see the special was $46. The waiter definitely told us the wrong price. When we are splitting the check we don't order a meal that expensive. The waiter took off a couple dollars but not enough. We will return but be more careful when ordering from the special dinners.

Really enjoyed celebrating my brother's birthday at Uva. Great food, nice atmosphere and delicious food. We started with appetizers of Brucetta, eggplant rolatini, fried mozzarella and clams casino. Gotta say we loved all bit the clams casino. Just a miss. Our entrees were served timely and everyone loved what they ordered, especially the veal chop Parmesan. Love that it is a byob and we brought a birthday cake. They happily brought out the cake and serving pieces. A special touch is the musician. He was wonderful and really added to our evening.

For anyone who had the good fortune to dine in the Chambersburg neighborhood of Trenton, NJ, when it was all Italian and offered exceptional ristorantes all around, Uva in Richboro is a welcome blast from the past. Furnished in faux opulence that somehow is appropriate, with black and white service and memorized menus in every detail; just take a seat and allow yourself to be transported to yesteryear and mange to your heart's content. Prices are up since Covid, but once you get over the sticker shock, it is possible to indulge in an excellent meal. Our Calamari Frita was a large platter of rings and tentacles dusted well and accompanied by a mildly spicy dipping sauce. Best we've had in a long while. The Veal Marsala in a delicious brown mushroom demi glaze, and Chicken Francaise in its tawny wine and lemon wash, were both very tender, cut with a fork and hit all the right subtle notes. Both came with house veggies (string beans) and garlic mashed. Our tongues danced to their silent melodies. Even the crusty loaf and garlic oil dip were superb and played their orchestrated roles. By the time the house captain (owner) came around with the dessert tray, we apologized for being stuffed already from food and bottle of pino noir, and unable to further test our capacities for gluttony. His knowing smile showed his understanding of our offhand compliment. Service was a bit slow, but the kitchen had the right excuse - their hands were busy perfecting their craft, and such exceptional cheffing should never be rushed.
