UOVO | Marina del Rey

First time visiting and eating at UOVO for a belated Valentine's dinner - delicious! We went at 8:30pm on a Saturday night, waited less than 15 minutes, and was luckily able to finish eating within the 2 hours free plaza parking. We even had time to stop by Trader Joe's to get some groceries.You can definitely tell quality ingredients are being used here, service and ambiance were amazing, so kind and so patient, super attentive, and food was heaven. Loveddd the cheesy pastas, I'm a white pasta girl, was in love with all the natural cheese and creams. Red pastas were also so yum!Looking forward to going back soon :) great date night!

The food at Uovo is just wonderful. They have a nice selection of entrees and you will be happy with whatever you order. The service is so nice and the place is ever so cute and very clean. I think all of their pasta is handmade and delivered to this location. It is just the best.The prices are fair and again, the service is just perfect. They just don't have a bad dish.We have been more than once and we have tried several of their pastas. Their Pomodoro, which is handmade tonnarelli in a pomodoro sauce made with imported tomatoes is amazing. Also try their Ragú pasta which is so great. It has beef, pork and you can have it with or without cheese, cream or milk. Get it with cheese and anything else they want to toss in. It is delicious.It does not matter what you get. It is all great.

Food is good, however the service isn't, at least on pickup or delivery orders. Staying in a hotel nearby and have picked up or had delivery from this location 3 x. Staff doesn't include utensils or parmesan cheese, even if you ask. They use postmates for delivery and don't have cheese or utensil option, or comment box to ask . Utensils you can get but No cheese with Pommodoro? Or Brodo? NoooooooooooooCome ON people!

Our volunteer fire relief group got a few takeout meals from here, and WOW - being a Kazunori fan and having passed by their restaurant many times, I wouldn't have expected it to be this good.Both times we got takeout, I picked up a portion of the tortellini with cream sauce, and added veggies from the side. Everything was delicious, but the broccolini was surprisingly the bomb dot com. The staff was very accommodating to us as well.Highly recommend if you're in the mood for delicious pasta!

Finally went to uovo after hearing about it from 3 different people! It's a small space so either get there early or late so you can get a seat without waiting. The tables outside by the boats in the marina are preferred but around the bar inside is fine if you are not with a large group. I went for lunch with one of the people who had been before so, following her recommendations we ordered the lasagne and one of the pasta tasting menus (only available for 2 people, but if you are truly a big eater I'm sure you could polish off the appetizer, all three pasta courses, and dessert by yourself). The lasagne for $18 was OK, but a bit dry and flavor was a bit bland. It was the most disappointing dish of the meal. The tasting menu was a very good way to sample the Italian pasta (all flown in fresh from Italy). The appetizer was a nice light yellowtail crudo with excellent olive oil. We chose the cheese and truffle tasting for $37 per person. Tagliatelle in truffle sauce, that barely tasted of truffles. Cacio e pépé that tasted good, but was swimming in oil. The pasta winner was overwhelmingly the simple pomodoro. Dessert of was tiramisu that was much too sweet for my taste, but everyone else enjoyed it. Service was friendly and efficient and the wine list was reasonable. The view, especially during the day is a perfect backdrop for lunch.

As a Yelp Elite, I've had my fair share of amazing dining experiences, but my recent visit to UOVO in Marina del Rey was truly exceptional and deserves to be shared. From the cozy and welcoming ambiance to its prime location at 4635 Admiralty Way, Suite 105--offering stunning marina views--everything about this restaurant set the tone for a remarkable evening.We chose to sit at the pasta bar, giving us a front-row seat to the culinary mastery of the chefs. Edwin, in particular, demonstrated incredible skill as he crafted the dishes we eagerly devoured. The Amatriciana and Carbonara stood out as absolute highlights--so extraordinary that I couldn't resist ordering a second helping, which I rarely do. The sides of cauliflower and broccolini were the perfect complements to our meal. And to top it all off, they serve Peroni, my favorite beer, which is a delightful rarity.The service was nothing short of exceptional, further elevating an already unforgettable experience. It's worth mentioning that UOVO operates on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis, and while there may be a wait, it's more than worth it.A heartfelt thank you to Edwin and the entire team for delivering such an outstanding dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend UOVO to anyone looking for impeccable food, ambiance, and service.

This is my second UOVO experience, the first being their Studio City location. The Marina del Rey location has 2-hour parking with parking validation, and plenty of space on a Saturday afternoon. The staff were friendly and welcoming, not skipping any details when providing a full menu walkthrough.For this visit, I had their Crema di Parmigiano, and it was delicious! Between their meat tortellini and Parmigiano-Reggiano, I wasn't sure which was the culprit of saltiness, but it was a tad too much for me. Outside of that, nothing beats a light brunch by the seaside - fresh air with light eats. There were no issues in splitting my friend and I's checks, and the experience from in to out was smoother than butter!

Came to UOVO at this location for my late birthday dinner since at the Studio City location the day before it was an hour and a half wait to eat at the bar. As an avid lover of Italian food, I found the pasta here to be absolutely delicious. Their pasta is imported from Italy. I was originally planning on ordering the Cacio e Pepe, but when I saw that the Carbonara had guanciale imported from Italy I could not resist! Guanciale is an Italian meat that is very rare to find in America (trust me I've tried) so I was so excited to see that UOVO served it with their food. The Carbonara was perfect- very rich and full of flavor, and the guanciale was amazing as well, 10/10. I tried the Ravioli too and it was probably the best Ravioli I've ever had. I also tried the Vongole and that was great. The side of Broccolini was seasoned very well.Their prices are reasonable for being a nice Italian restaurant in LA. The location is beautiful, with a scenic view of the Marina.However the only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because they don't take reservations (it's first come first serve), and the wait is always extremely long. For a party of 3 I was told 30 minutes to an hour and we waited an hour to get seated. They also don't serve bread like most Italian restaurants do, which would of been nice especially after having to wait so long for a table.

Lovely environment but the pasta seemed to be a bit lacking to me. Although it came out quickly it was not as dimensional in flavor as I thought it would be. I am definitely going to return and try another dish, I think I just picked one of the less dynamic ones HOWEVER it was still good!!!Enjoyable seating options looking out onto the marina!Best for smaller groups!

Absolutely fantastic lunch, outdoors overlooking the water. The food was outstanding. The crudo starter is a must, and was way beyond what we were expecting. A large portion, very fresh and accompanied perfectly with fruity olive oil, chiles and micro greens. A great start. The pasta here is fresh and flown in from Bologna daily - what? It is not your ordinary pasta dish. Just the right ratio of noodles to sauce and each bite had the right texture and chew. I must go back and try more. We ordered a veggie side, the cauliflower and it also was an outstanding version of itself. Perfectly charred and seasoned. The service was friendly and efficient. Just right. This really is a diamond in the rough. Wasn't expecting too much as it is a chain of some sort but it blew me away. YUM.
