California Spirit, Italian Soul.

Inspired by California’s seasonal approach to cooking and the soulful traditions of Italy, Upland brings an effortless warmth to the heart of New York City. The inviting dining room hums with energy, setting the stage for vibrant vegetables, wood-fired pizzas, handmade pastas, and simply prepared entrées that celebrate exceptional ingredients. A thoughtfully selected collection of approachable wines complements the menu’s bright, seasonal flavors, while gracious hospitality makes every meal feel both special and relaxed. Stylish without pretension, Upland captures the easy optimism of California with the unmistakable energy of New York.

Cuisine

Upland’s open kitchen turns out wood-fired pizzas, house-made pastas, and seasonal American dishes — from Bucatini Cacio e Pepe to the iconic Cheeseburger and Fire Roasted Salmon. Starters, entrées, and sides round out a thoughtfully crafted menu, paired with a food-friendly wine list and smart by-the-glass selections.
