ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND ISSUER.

     This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of Common Stock, $.01 par value
("Common Stock"), of Uno Restaurant Corporation, a Delaware corporation
(the "Issuer"), whose principal executive offices are located at 100 Charles

     This Statement is filed jointly by (a) Uno Associates ("Uno Associates")
and (b) Aaron D. Spencer (the "Reporting Persons").

     Uno Associates is a general partnership owned 80% by Aaron D. Spencer and
10% each by his two adult children, Lisa S. Cohen and Mark Spencer. Aaron D.
Spencer is deemed to be the beneficial owner of all of the shares held by Uno
Associates, although Lisa S. Cohen and Mark Spencer, as partners in Uno
Associates and have a beneficial interest in any dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, such shares.

     Mr. Aaron D. Spencer, a U.S. citizen, is President and Chief Executive
Officer of Uno Restaurant Corporation which is located at 100 Charles Park Road,
West Roxbury, Massachusetts 02132.

subject to, federal or state securities laws, or finding any violations with

(approximately 6% of the total outstanding shares of Issuer's Common Stock at
the time) for an aggregate purchase price of $4,800,000. Aaron D. Spencer
borrowed $2,880,000 of these funds from Fleet Bank (the "Loan"). The Loan bears

          or the disposition of securities of the Issuer;

                                                                    Page 4 of 7

          of its subsidiaries;

     (d)  Any change in the present board of directors or management of the

     (e)  Any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy
          of the Issuer;

     (f)  Any other material change in the Issuer's business or corporate
          structure;

     (g)  Changes in the Issuer's charter, by-laws or instruments corresponding
          thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control
          of the Issuer by any person;
