Vegetarian dishes on the menu:
Antipasti:
Olives (not on the menu - but these are the best!)

Insalata di Spinaci - spinach, blue-cheese-balsamic vinaigrette, candied walnuts (fried)
Minestrone - vegetable soup with vegetable stock base (I practically live off of this stuff!)
*see my favorites below

Primi Piatti :
Capellini Pomodoro y Basilico (vegan) - angel hair pasta, tomatoes, basil, roasted garlic
Linguine con Melanzane - smoked mozzarella, tomatoes, eggplant
Lasagna Vegetariana - spinach, zucchini, mushrooms, marinara, parmesan
Ravioli d'Herbe - ricotta ravioli with brown butter, sage sauce

Pizza Vegetariana - marinara, mozzarella, zucchini, eggplant, roasted bell peppers, arugula
Pizza Margherita - marinara, mozzarella, basil

My Favorite Modifications:
I love the Insalata di Rucola e Prosciutto minus the Prosciutto. Arugula with a lemon vinaigrette and Grana Padana (a cow's milk cheese that is milder than Parmesan Reggiano). (vegan)
My favorite pizza is the creation of my fiance: zucchini, goat cheese, and arugula. But, properly ordered, it is: "The vegetarian pizza, no eggplant, no peppers, add goat cheese."

Uva makes all of the sauces for the pastas from scratch, so it's easy enough for the kitchen to make additions or subtractions from regular menu items. As far as I know, pesto is always available.


No meat, but...
Arancini (Chicken Stock in Risotto) - risotto balls with a bit of Teleme (cow's milk cheese) in the middle, fried and served with spicy marinara.
The special zuppa of the day is often made of vegetables, but usually has a chicken stock base. Ask your server if it's important to you.
