Homemade Pasta Comes To Santa Monica

SANTA MONICA, CA – Enough of the boxed stuff – Uovo, a new restaurant in Santa Monica – is now open and serving handmade fresh pasta from its kitchen in Bologna, Italy. Uovo serves some of the most iconic Italian pasta dishes, according to the press release, and all pasta is made using the traditional, labor-intensive technique of sheeting and cutting, using special red-yolk eggs only found in Italy.

Uovo will serve a "highly focused" menu of fresh pastas, along with a three-course tasting menu and three classic vegetable side dishes, and wine and beer.

"To bring some of the great dishes from my home town to my new home is a dream come true. We put our hearts into these dishes and can't wait for our guests to try them," Uovo Co-Founder Carlo Massimini saud in a statement.

The restaurant can seat 42, along with a 24-seat pasta bar for guests to watch their food cook right in front of them. Takeout will not be available during the soft open period, but when it becomes available it will include electronic ordering and delivery services.

Uovo is located at 1320 2nd Street in Santa Monica and will be open seven days a week from 11:30 a.m. – 10 p.m.
