UOVO | Santa Monica Reviews from The Last Year
Freaking amazing! The food, the staff and the experience
Freaking amazing! The food, the staff and the experience are all amazing. I cannot stress enough how good this place is! I am not a pasta person typically and yet whenever I am in LA this is the first place I make sure I go too! The last time I was there my family of five ordered every item on the menu and then some.
Very authentic Italian food and unique concept for menu.
There's a tasting menu and a la carte. I did the tasting menu and ordered the cheese & truffle, ravioli, and cacio e Pepe pasta option. The noodles are made fresh and FLOWN IN front of Italy on a daily basis. The cheese & truffle pasta was the star for me - it was creamy and subtle and the noodles were absolutely amazing... tasted like someone's nonna made it for me minutes before. The tasting menu also came with a crudo and tiramisu dessert. I would definitely suggest it. $37 and left perfectly full. You do have to put your name down for this restaurant so suggest going on a week day perhaps to not have to wait long.
Posting another review because this place still slaps.
Consistent every time. I never tire of dining here. Please open more locations.
This is the most overrated restaurant I have ever been to.
What's worse than the food is the service. The servers messed up multiple orders on our table and added items to the bill that were never ordered; but worst of all, they had the poorest attitude and were rude. They made everyone on the table uncomfortable. We couldn't wait to leave. Can't believe we waited 1.5 hours for that meal and experience.
The best Italian food I've had.
Service takes a little while but 100% understandable because it's always so busy. Ambiance is super romantic and perfect for a date, love coming with friends or boyfriend

Just had to jump on and leave a glowing review for the delicious pasta and incredible service. Even though I was a good 15 minutes later than my pick up time, they insisted on making a fresh batch of Tagliatelle Olio e Sale for me. Chef's kiss! Thank you! I'll be making this my go-to pasta place in SM. The pasta truly is exceptional - flavorful and toothsome with just olive oil and salt! And the vibe is very welcome and casual. I could have hung out all afternoon.
How can one not love a place where the pasta gets made
How can one not love a place where the pasta gets made fresh in Italy and overnighted to LA? Environmental impact aside, this is as close to going to Italy as possible. In fact, it's probably better because the pasta in Italy is not good if you're anywhere close to a tourist destination. Service is personal with a small-business feel because it's a small restaurant with mostly bar seating. I recommend the tasting menu. It's your way to try various pastas and sauces. Everything is al dente and not soggy. Portions are good, but I feel like I always want more pasta! Highly recommend.
All of pastas are really good and the texture of noodles
All of pastas are really good and the texture of noodles are chewy and tasty. I highly recommend
First food was great.
No complaints from our party of six. I had ricotta raviolis and brocollini. Yum. Thin noodles creamy cheese. My sister had the lasagna. It looked odd on delivery because there was no sauce on the plate but....girl .....not needed. Thin layers of noodles held it all together. Another person had the clams. Some had carbonara. Only complaint would be if it was super dark in there. No pictures for sure. You wouldn't be able to see anything and a flash would be crazy in there.
we got the cheese and truffle tasting menu!! the cheese and
we got the cheese and truffle tasting menu!! the cheese and truffle pasta was absolutely AMAZING. it was a perfect balance of salt, cream, and truffle, and the pasta texture was truly satisfying. i felt as if the pastas that came after didn't live up to the same level of taste, which was slightly disappointing. i wished the truffle would have finished it off with the best for last. the texture of the pastas were still the best i've had, and the tiramisu was so yummy, especially the cream and chocolate sauce. the service was great and they refreshed our plates after every tasting item. it was quite dark inside the restaurant, but it added to the ambiance! i just wish there were little lights so that we could look at the menu without turning on phone flashlights
Yum!
Fantastic restaurant that we found off Google. The pasta was simply amazing! The broccolini - is just the best! Nice touch that ice cold water is provided to every table and replaced regularly. Staff very friendly and nice seating area. We enjoyed it and found it good value for money! My son loved his pasta! Would definitely return and recommend to others.
Best dining experience in California!
This was hands down one of the best dining experiences we had while on vacation in California. The food was incredible! We have had authentic Italian cuisine and this matched it! The staff went out of their way to show excellent customer service and kindness. This one is worth the wait! This restaurant is doing something right!! Thank you for a great dining experience!
Great pasta but small portions
This was recommended to us by a local. Upon going in we were not sure if it was open as very quiet and dark but quite a few people came in straight after us. Loved the open cooking concept and staff were super friendly and service was slick. There were three of us dining, two of us had lasagne and when it was bought to the table we could not believe the size it was so SMALL and this is comparing to UK not US portions! There was about three mouth falls which when being charged $18++ per plate we were really surprised. I did check with the waiter if this was the right portion and he said it was the only portion size. $89 for three plates at lunch, one beer, one soda, one water and we all came out hungry. Might be delicious but expensive for the serving size!
FANTASTIC, Authentic Italian Pasta With vegetarian Options
Our dinner at Uovo set a new standard for authentic Italian pasta for us. We recently visited Italy and have had pasta on our brains (and in our hearts, and in our stomachs) for months now. Visiting Uovo, despite the fact that we were in Southern California, brought all of our sensibilities back to Italy. Every dish we got was delicious. It's their main thing, but in case you're not aware, the pasta is made in Bologna, Italy and shipped to them every day...so it just doesn't get much more authentic than that. My wife and I shared the tasting menu so we could try all of the vegetarian options, including Caco e Pepe, Pomodoro, and Tagliatelle in truffle sauce. All three were perfect and were my budget and waistline to allow, I would eat any of these every day. The tasting menu came with a small arugula salad, and Tiramisu which we also shared and which were great. The place is intimate...we ended up being seated at the bar. They don't take reservations, which is, on one hand refreshing as you know you're always going to have a fair shot of getting a table as anyone else...but, of course, that means wait times could be long. (But put your name in and they'll text you so you can wander around Santa Monica while waiting.) They do have tables but it's really the luck of the draw based on when you put your name in and what comes up first. Anyone who loves authentic Italian pasta dishes (or who yes yet to realize you love them) will find the very best of those here.
Advised
A real restaurant with Italian flavours, we had various types of pasta, all delicious. Recommended if you are looking for an Italian restaurant and also with average prices. The portions are a little small. Nice place and welcoming staff.
Eating in the Dark
Holy smokes, turn up the lights a smidge! This restaurant was so dark inside that customers had to turn on the cellphone torch/flashlight to read the menu. It made the experience bizarre. Any time I have eaten in Italy, the restaurants have appropriate lighting. I liked the food but am not sure the carbon footprint this place creates by shipping pasta from Bologna everyday is a good offset since the same egg laying chickens that are in Emilia-Romagna are all over the US and one can buy double zero Italian flour. If the touch of Italy was imported cheese wheels, I’d say, worth the shipping! As mentioned, I liked the food but it was strange the manager felt the need to explain to customers the needed to stir their food. In Bologna, they serve you food that is ready to put in your mouth. I appreciate this is a tip free restaurant as there is a fee on top of the overall bill. However, I think it’s better to build the fee into the food vs. a surprise fee you learn about after you get the check.
DELICIOUS
One word - amazing. A small intimate space, a menu with familiar pastas but with a twist. I can respect the ”polite decline” on changing anything because honestly everything tasted 10/10, don’t know why you would want to change it and to trust they know best! The best tiramisu of my life and highly recommend the ”original” share menu! thankyou to our server Alejandr.
Very good pasta
We were very well received in this small restaurant, we cannot reserve but it was very quick. We took the menus to share, it was excellent, starting with the marinated raw yellow tail which was excellent. Then 3 pasta dishes of very good quality because they come directly from Bologna by plane every day. It was a real delight. We were not disappointed . On the other hand, there is no cold meats or anything else for the aperitif or limoncello to finish the meal. Meal . Come there just to eat very good pasta.
Avoid if you are hungry and in a hurry
Decent Italian restaurant Impossible to reserve so we wait a long time to get a table. We chose to go outside because it was supposedly faster and above all it was almost less noisy outside on the road than inside. Arrival management level not great. A couple arrived after us and were seated before us... when they realized the mistake they stuck 3 of us together on a tiny table of 2... we had to put the water in the flower pots to be able to put our 3 plates. We were served one after the other… my lasagna arrived and my husband had finished. We can't say that the pasta is bad... on the other hand the quantities are ridiculous.. (children) My 13 year old daughter left the table hungry… Expensive wine and it is not good. Finally, they calm down without asking. In short, avoid it unless you have time and are not too hungry.
An italian idea, but...
I love the concept! Open kitchen. Pasta tossed in pans. There is an italian idea behind, but a few things have to be improved. You have to use more cooking water in your pasta dishes. Stop using Parmesan or Pecorino wheels. Is a useless bling bling thing. In the name of all Italian mamas all over the world, toss the pasta in your Bolognese Ragù. Never put oil on your Tagliatelle. Your pasta has not to look like an Emoji icon. The quality is worth a detour. As i said before, cool concept, for US standards not bad at all.

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
