Uovo

“We’ve come a long way, baby,” is probably what a plate of Uovo’s handmade pasta might say to you if it could talk. This quick-and-casual Italian restaurant (with Santa Monica, Mid-Wilshire, Marina del Rey and Studio City outposts) comes from the team behind Sugarfish and only serves fresh pasta that’s been overnighted from a ghost kitchen in Bologna, Italy. Sure, they could have just made the pasta here, but why do that when they can bring us all fresh noodles made in the world’s pasta epicenter? Look for classic pasta dishes from Rome and Bologna, among other locales, all under $20, plus a few appetizers, vegetables and desserts.
