Delicioussss. So good and the service was great. Be cautious of the peanut oil they use in a lot of their meat- containing pastas. My boyfriend has a severe peanut allergy and they were very careful about cross-contamination. I am gluten free, and the gluten pasta was the best I've had. We had: - Pomodorini Pasta (gluten free) - Amatriciana pasta - broccolini - funghi The bar area was packed but it still had a good romantic feel for a date night. They validate parking and there was about a 45 minute wait on a Monday night!
Me and my friend loved this place, the ambientación is very very pretty, you can enjoy the whole ocean front view from any where you sit basically, the staff was very nice, the food is really good, the wine cart is not very extensive but the little they have are all very good options, price is no bad either, is cheaper than other fancy restaurants. Probably my only 2 suggestions are that they don't ask for a tip but definitely charge the 16% of the whole bill no matter what so keep that in mine, and also they have their own tiramisu recipe so don't expect the regular tiramisu flavor in your dessert. Still very good place, i super recommend to have the experience.
Yes, it was a long wait, but that's a good sign. And if you need to wait for a table, this area is the place to do it. But the wait was worth it for fresh pasta and unique dishes. My wife and I got the regional tasting menu which was a great way to sample three different pastas as well as an appetizer, for a very reasonable price I must say. My daughter had the yellowtail Crudo and it was fantastic. The ragu was the standout pasta for me and my Italian wife. The tortellini was great (we got the broth, not the heavier cream sauce) and the amatriciana was great too. There's just something about fresh made pasta! The service was great across the board. A little loud and dim lighting, hope that doesn't make me sound too old We all agreed, the best tiramisu we'd ever had before. Man, that was great. Will be back for sure
My recent visit to Uovo was an experience to remember. The food was absolutely delicious, especially the noodles. It's hard to put into words, but they were extremely fresh, cooked al dente, and had a thick, satisfying chew that set them apart. The service was excellent, thanks to our attentive waitress who treated us very well. The ambiance added to the overall experience, being very trendy and stylish. However, be prepared for a bit of chaos and pretense when it comes to getting a table. Uovo doesn't take reservations and seems to be quite aware of its popularity, which can come off as a bit snobbish. Despite the wait and a touch of snobbery, I highly recommend Uovo for its authentic Italian food. It's worth it, just be prepared for the experience.
It's been years since I was at the first UOVO in LA (can't believe how much time has passed that there are now multiple locations) but this recent visit was a worthy reminder of what a truly excellent establishment this place is. Convenient location, no surprise next to Kazu Nori (including a shared bathroom) and HiHo across the way. New this month: parking is now paid/gated which was the only (slight) inconvenience I experienced this visit. I still love the no-frills aspect of ordering and service already being tacked on to everything be it a glass of wine you order pre-dinner (and yes you can do that and hang outside while you wait) or the meal itself. Every single dish we had was truly amazing - simple but perfectly cooked, sauced, seasoned. So authentic - my carbonara brought me right back to Rome. Even the simpe arugula/hearts of palm/almonds salad we had to start and cauliflower side we got to round out our meal were absolutely delicious. The size of the menu is just right (dare I say even a few more options including special offerings than I recall from my very 1st visit?) Best of all, everyone here was so...NICE. No reservations/waitlist only could get tedious but somehow even for our group of 3 at prime time, everything was enjoyable with how kind the staff was from supporting pre-dinner wine to at the end ensuring we didn't feel super rushed (although we were uber mindful of the wait so cleared as quickly as we could). Bravo!
Ambiance is nice with the view of the ocean. Price is decent but serving size is relatively small. Dishes tasted great though! Service was decently fast but had to wait 45 minutes for a bar table.
LOVE UOVO!! All our pastas were perfectly Al dente! The service is fantastic, it's a no tip establishment and the service is top tier. It's a lovely food place to grab lunch or dinner - take your time and enjoy your meal. The restaurant is always filled with chatter and I love that you can see straight into the kitchen. Overall a great experience, I'll go back again and again. The butta de carne was okay, I felt like it needed a bit of salt but the quality of the meat was outstanding!
I recently dined at Uovo in Marina del Rey, and it was a delightful yet slightly chaotic experience. Let me break it down for you: The Good: The pomodorini e basilico and pomodoro pastas were divine! Fresh, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The restaurant itself is cute, with a cozy vibe and nice outdoor patio seating. The service was top-notch, and everyone working there was genuinely nice. The Not-So-Good: Now, here's the catch. The crowd waiting for a table was overwhelming. They practically blocked our view, and yes, they stared while we ate. It felt like a pasta-loving mosh pit! The wait was insane. We stood in line for what felt like hours. If patience isn't your strong suit, brace yourself. Uovo is a must-visit for pasta enthusiasts, but be prepared for the hustle and bustle. If you're seeking a more relaxing experience, consider checking out their Pasadena location. Hopefully, it's a tad less chaotic there!
The noodles and ingredients are top tier. This restaurant is nestled in the quiet town of Marina Del Rey. Its atmosphere is "casual, cool", literally and figuratively. This place exudes cool, casual, in a good way! The views are relaxing, a good seat inside is of the open air (literally and figuratively) kitchen. You get to see the hard workers prepare the delicate plates the servers promptly give to you. I recommend coming here early as they do get busy with very limited seating for large parties. This place is a gem!
A lovely restaurant on the water, which I adored for date night. Service was nice, and it was definitely popular on a Saturday night! We thought the pasta was good, but our palettes were looking for a bit more complexity in the dishes. I forgot exactly what we got, but one of the dishes was a pasta made of clam sauce. This piqued our interest, but we were a bit disappointed in the taste, as it seemed to have lacked something else. We ordered a side of mushrooms, which were hands down absolutely delicious. We added those mushrooms to our pasta and it made the dishes a tad more enjoyable for our liking. You gotta try their mushroom dish! The pasta itself was yummy - not too soggy not too undercooked.
