Uovo - 2nd street SaMo - the next great leap forward for Pasta in LA

Hit Uovo last night for dinner and was super impressed – this place is the real deal!

We split three pastas: the lasagna, Amatriciana, and Cacio e Pepe. Like @CiaoBob , the Amatriciana was our favorite, followed by the lasagna. The Cacio e Pepe was good, too, but not as peppery or cheesy as I like. Noodles in all three dishes were cooked perfectly, with just a hint of al dente bite.

We also split the broccolini and cauliflower sides. Both were excellent – fully cooked yet firm, the way I like veggies. Like @paranoidgarliclover, we loved the broccolini preparation, which was simple and delicious. But the standout for us was the crispy, salty cauliflower. So good!

The place was busy but not full on a Tuesday night at around 7pm. I will certainly be back to try some of their other offerings.
