              UNO RESTAURANT CORPORATION REPORTS PRELIMINARY FOURTH
               QUARTER AND FULL YEAR RESULTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1998

Boston, Massachusetts, October 12, 1998-Uno Restaurant Corporation (NYSE:UNO),
(the "Company") announced today its preliminary fiscal year 1998 fourth quarter
and full year financial results which are subject to completion of its annual
audit. Net income for the fiscal year ended September 27, 1998 was $5,387,000,
or $.49 per share, compared to net income of $2,673,000, or $.22 per share, for
fiscal year 1997. The results for fiscal year 1998 include a charge net of taxes
of $636,000 or $.06 per share for the cumulative effect of a change in
accounting in conjunction with the Company's adoption of SOP 98-5 "Reporting the
Costs of Start-Up Activities" which requires that pre-opening costs be expensed
as incurred. Results for fiscal year 1997, include special charges, principally
FAS 121 charges, of $2,640,000 on an after-tax basis, or $.22 per share. Revenue
for fiscal 1998 increased 7.4% to $191 million from $178 million in fiscal 1997
as comparable store sales improved by 1.3% and average weekly sales grew by 2%.

Net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 was $2,194,000, or $.20 per
share, compared to net income of $1,836,000, or $.16 per share for fiscal 1997.
Revenue for the fourth quarter of fiscal 1998 increased 6.1% to $50.7 million
from $47.8 million for the same period last year. The Company expects to
announce final audited results during the first week of November.

Uno Restaurant Corporation currently operates 94 "Pizzeria Uno...Chicago Bar &
Grill" casual dining, full-service restaurants primarily from New England to
Virginia, as well as Florida, Chicago and Denver, and franchises 63 units in 19
states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico and Seoul, Korea. The Company also
operates a consumer foods division, which supplies American Airlines, movie
theaters, hotel restaurants and supermarkets in the Northeast with both frozen
and refrigerated Pizzeria Uno brand products, as well as certain private label
products.

Forward-looking statements in this release are made pursuant to the safe harbor
provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Investors
are cautioned that all forward-looking statements involve risks and
uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ from those projected,
including without limitation, the results of the Company's audit, the Company's
ability to open new restaurants and operate new and existing restaurants
profitably, changes in local, regional, national and international economic
conditions, especially economic conditions in the area in which the Company's
restaurants are concentrated, increasingly intense competition in the
casual-dining segment of the restaurants industry, increases in food, labor,
employee benefits and similar costs, and other risks detailed from time to time
in the Company's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
