About uccello

Perched on the fourth floor of the Ivy precinct, this open-air perch pairs poolside dining with crisp Italian plates. Patrons trade the CBD grind for a coastal resort pace, leaning over tables set alongside the rooftop pool while upbeat tracks drift from the adjoining club. Kitchen staples lean confident and unhurried—tuna crudo, crisp zucchini flowers, and slow-braised duck ragu over house-made pasta. Table captains steer wine pairings toward chilled Soave and keep glasses topped through plates of charred bistecca. Diners linger past dusk as city lights hit the water, capping off celebrations over espresso-soaked tiramisu.

  • Rooftop Poolside Setting: Tables sit directly beside the open-air fourth-floor swimming pool in the Ivy complex, blending city skyline views with pool club energy.
  • Regional Italian Classics: The menu balances coastal starters like tuna crudo with hand-rolled pastas, rich duck ragu, and wood-grilled meats.
  • Polished Table Service: Floor staff provide unhurried, knowledgeable navigation across the Italian wine list and seasonal specials.

Do you need a reservation, or are walk-ins accepted?

Walk-ins are sometimes accommodated at the door, but advance reservations are accepted and recommended—particularly on busy weekends and for milestone events or larger group dining.

Can the kitchen cater to vegetarian and other dietary needs?

Staff can help guide guests through dietary considerations, including pointing out vegetarian options or clarifying halal suitability before ordering, while gluten-free diners with coeliac disease have noted being carefully accommodated.
