“ 6/07 Sat. Uva (=grapes) is a popular local italian that can serve up surprising tastes. The inside is spacious and the walls packed with pix of stars & singers. We ordered just enough for 4 to share. From the weekly specials, the grilled baby back ribs with pickled endive were delicious antipasto. The chicken saltimbocca with prosciutto and mozzarella was a bit dry in the breast meat, but compensated by high flavors in the sweet pea & sage risotto. The pancetta-wrapped lamb tenderloin was medium cooked, lean but tender & gamy. From the regular menu, the calamari fritti was superb in taste, prepared from small squids with panko dusting. Its pairing with fried fennel was awesome. The Black Angus rib-eye steak was perfectly done with green peppercorns and wine reduction. Dolci: Meyer lemon tart (refreshing & light) vs. chocolate budino (rich & heavy) with pistachio gelato and sweet Bing cherries. Very thoughtful dishes with great results. Friendly service too. italian heaven in Napa? 4* ”
