Absolutely delicious pasta matched ny excellent service all the way around. I had the Pomodoro and I actually finished everything on my plate. Something I am not normally able to do. This is a testament to how incredible the pasta was.
Love the fresh pasta (Truffle cream and Ragu) . It’s a shame the truffle pasta doesn’t have fresh truffle at all but it was full of truffleflavour. The pasta get finished so quickly, with in 10mins ?
Go to colapasta instead on 5th St which got a Michelin bib in 2022, for half the price and better pasta.The ragu had no bite at all and was sitting in too much pasta water. The brodo themselves were nice but the broth tasted like watered down matzo ball soup. The lasagna was mushy and lacked flavor, the most of any lasagna I've ever ordered. The cacio e pepe may be how they do it in Rome, but it's over seasoned, overcooked, and oversalted to our party.The 'tiramisu' is a JOKE and is 85% cream topped with what is basically Hershey's Nutella with half an ounce of coffee and some crumbs from a leftover box of ladyfingers. On top of lackluster service on a weekday night and a fixed 16% tip, I won't come here again.I like Sugarfish and it's price to quality and expected far better. 1/5 stars.
An absolute must stop if you're visiting Santa Monica. I'm here for work from Seattle and was recommended this place and it did not disappoint. Not very big but didn't need to be. It smelled amazing the second I walked in. The Carbonara was the creamiest and most amazing I've had, and served to me directly to plate from pan and in quick order. Staff is pleasant as well. Maybe it's a good thing I don't live here because I would gain a ton of weight!
Loved the tasting menu! Delicious meal and excellent service all around. Our server, Alexis, was knowledgeable about every menu item and wonderfully friendly. A perfect dinner.
Fantastic marina views. Pasta was cooked perfectly and the staff is super nice and attentive. We tried 5 different dishes, 4 of them need 50% less salt! Someone please tell the chef. We'll come back for the the tiramisu/views.
It doesn't get much better than the pasta here. Great concept, great service, great food. A must visit for pasta lovers
Excellent burger, great fries, so-so service (which isn't that important at a place like this, honestly). We got there a few minutes before lunchtime, and it filled up quick. Santa Monica apparently is burger-central in LA, and HiHo is definitely worth a visit.
Definitely not worth it, I was super excited about Italian food and trying out a new restaurant… take out order was the only option if I didn’t want to wait 45 min for dine in.. aside from having to pay 16% for the “Tip” when I got back to my hotel I noticed my food came with no bread nor sauces just plain lasagna. Didn’t even look appetizing..
UOVO is my favorite pasta place in Santa Monica. I love their authentic northern Italian style of pasta. The ingredients such as tomato and basil were very fresh. Last time, I tried \\\"the classic\\\" pasta tasting and it was worth the price. Although their signiture menu is ragu, I think their best are vongole and pomodorini e basilico. I enjoyed the outdoor seat with beautiful plants and lights at night. Their indoor seats were small and too close to next tables, so I recommend outdoor seats.\\n\\nI've already visited three times, and always had pleasant experiences. I highly recommend this place! :)
