    We heard about this restaurant through Jenn Im’s vlog and we were so excited to try it out! We got the cheese and truffle tasting menu and they did not fail to impress our taste buds! I am in love with the mix of subtle flavors that combine excellently together. One of the best pasta we ever had! We also got the battuta di carne, amazing!! I only wish this restaurant offered bread because their sauces are stunning and I wish I had something to help finish the leftover sauce.

    Uovo is a dream come true for pasta lovers and purists of Italian cuisine. They import their goods like the pasta and dough from Italy daily because the eggs & other ingredients contribute to the the taste, texture, and overall experience of eating authentic regional food you can’t get anywhere else. With a family of four we did the two different tastings and it was just an overall lovely dinner. Be prepared to wait for seats and i do recommend eating at the counter so you can see how everything is prepared including the pasta that is finished off in the cheese wheel. Would love to come back.

    I’ve eaten at the Santa Monica & Mid-Wilshire locations and honestly, I love this establishment and their food. I’m very happy they opened up a location <5 miles from me. We came on a busy Saturday for lunch and service was slower than the usual we’re accustomed to - however that could be attributed to not having enough cooks on staff w/ the volume of people they were serving that day. Totally understandable. Staff were very courteous and professional, as with the other locations. The food tastes the same as well - so expect quality and taste 10/10. Their special Tagliatelle in Truffle Sauce and the Carbonara are simply delicious and a must-try. Thank you guys for serving really exquisite pasta!

    So simple but so good. Possibly the best pasta I've ever had. The tasting menu is the way to go, bring an eating partner!

    UOVO is just sublime. I decided to come here solo because it can be a rather long wait to get seated with even a smaller party. Going on a week day after lunch hours helped me snag a seat at the counter rather quickly. I ordered the cacio e pepe, funghi and tiramisu. The Sauvignon Blanc was perfectly crisp and paired well with the dishes. Seeing the pasta, which is imported from Italy, made fresh in front of you was such a treat. Definitely coming back!

    My wife is in love with Jen Im, so when she saw Jen's vlog review of Uovo, I knew that we would have to go. Uovo has their pastas overnight shipped from Italy and cooked up next day. Idk if this truly makes a difference, but the pasta has a wonderful texture with good bite, so they're definitely doing something right! We tried their cheese and truffle tasting menu, and threw on their wagyu tartar and another pasta for kicks. The pasta sauces were incredibly savory and nuanced. The wagyu/ cheese combo was awesome. Our servers were also wonderful.

    Portions were decently sized for sharing. We (2) didn’t want to over-order too many dishes so we started with two. Ended up ordering a third because we were still hungry and wanted to try more. The fresh pasta was delicious and the sauces were all great. Ricotta Ravioli was so soft and delicate.

    Uovo in Pasadena is a delightful addition to the growing chain of restaurants that specialize in handmade Italian pasta. The fact that all their pasta is crafted daily in Bologna, Italy, and then transported to Los Angeles is a testament to their commitment to authenticity. What's even more impressive is that they keep their prices under $20, making it accessible to a wide range of diners. During our visit on a Sunday after church for lunch, we had the pleasure of trying their cheese wheel cacio e pepe and the ravioli, both of which were nothing short of delectable. The pasta had that perfect, unmistakable homemade texture, and the seasoning was spot on. It's evident that the chefs at Uovo take pride in their craft. The service was impeccable, and our waiter was exceptionally knowledgeable about the dishes and their ingredients, enhancing the overall dining experience. As for the ambiance, it truly felt like we had been transported to Italy, with an atmosphere that added to the authenticity of the meal. One noteworthy mention is their trio of five-course set menus priced under $40 per person, ideal for parties of two. This option seems like a fantastic deal for those looking to explore a variety of flavors in one sitting. With its fifth location in Pasadena, Uovo continues to impress with its dedication to quality and authenticity. We're definitely planning to return to sample their tasting menu, which we believe will be the best way to savor more of their delicious offerings. Uovo Pasadena is a gem for Italian food lovers in LA.
