UOVO | Studio City

This place is fantastic and arguably underrated. The price to quality ratio is among the best I’ve ever seen. What an establishment!

The ONLY saving grace was the food.
Visiting from out of town and was brought here by family.
Upon entering it was so loud, not from music, that you couldn't hear anything. Got seated after an hour wait. Server came up all bubbly and started immediately going into the specials. I couldn't hear her and honestly had no clue what she was talking about. I told her I couldn't hear a word she was saying. Then she got attitude. My family member said she would explain to me. Well, my family member didn't understand what she said either.
We gave our order to what seemed to be a manager. Never saw our server again until the end of the meal. One major factor is there is NO BREAD! How do you serve pasta with no bread?
Although the food was very good, the portions were pretty small. I got the tasting menu and was still hungry afterwards.
I guess this is some sort of niche restaurant but it leaves a lot to be desired.
Btw, just for perspective, I'm not some disgruntled customer complaining, I'm actually a Certified Executive Chef, so I think I know a little bit about what I'm saying.

Great food and atmosphere

Hands down my favorite place for Italian food!!! Without mentioning that their tiramisu is the best tiramisu of my life!!!! Highly recommended the tasting menu, includes a starter, 3 different pasta flavors and dessert.
The place is a bit small and dark but it gives me vibes of NYC kitchen/bar, which is cool.

Stopped by around 12:20, the restaurant was basically empty and I came in earlier but they didn't let me seat as "the whole party supposed to be present" policy, I understand if your restaurant is busy but this is early in the day. Aren't coming back for sure

Lovely restaurant. The food is wonderful and pricing is far from outlandish. Ordered the yellowtail crudo, vongole, and carbonara. All delicious quality food with not too long of a wait. The restaurant is small, which definitely creates a warm atmosphere, making it one of my favorite date spots. At the same time however, it can be difficult to get a table due to the wait time, so I would opt for a seat at the bar. This is a no tipping establishment which I found interesting. Staff are very friendly and check in often.

A delicious "Ragu" & enjoyable chianti, and what a hustling team (while not noisy), and overall friendly & helpful staff - - - here, this chef takes a well-deserved moment before spinning out another fabulous assortment of perfectly-prepared plates. Prego!

Pretentious overpriced pasta place. They basically serve spaghetti with an obnoxious attitude. Wanna add cheese? Nope. Their "chef" knows best how you should eat and enjoy their extremely expensive pasta, whether you like it or not. I'm getting tired of these mediocre but expensive restaurants who aren't interested in accommodating their customers because of their arrogant attitude. I will avoid Uovo in the future, and will recommend to all my friends that they do as well.

Ok, small portions, very salty and overpriced.

I took my partner last night for his birthday, and it was our first time. I’m so glad we decided to try this place out! The food was amazing, so fresh with the flavors nicely balanced. The staff was very warm and attentive. We were surprised to find our waiter, Colin was actually new to the establishment. He really knew what he was doing and accommodated us amazingly. My only qualm is the gratuity percentage. I like the fact that it’s a “tipless” establishment but 16% is a bit low for the experience received. I can’t speak for other patrons but 18% minimum seems much more appropriate. All of our interactions with the staff were wonderful and I can’t wait to come back :)

Why is it so dark? What are you hiding. Pitch black isn’t atmosphere, it’s stupidity. Good pasta when I eat it at home….with the lights on!

I tried to give this place a 2nd chance because I love the food! But the service SUCKS! I think the built in gratuity & forcing of 16% on your bill is limited the value of service.
