Handmade Italian pasta with affordable tasting menus and lively counter energy; strong flavors and service praised, but portions run small and a fixed 16% service fee plus no-mod policy divide opinions.
UOVO delivers exceptional handmade pasta with consistent al dente execution and attentive, knowledgeable service that justifies an A-grade standing. However, tight seating and dim lighting create physical constraints, while modest portions and inflexible policies prevent the seamless excellence of grade A territory. The museum-district location and loyal following position it as a worthwhile neighborhood destination for pasta enthusiasts willing to embrace its focused, intimate concept.
One caveat: Portions are modest and can feel like tasting sizes, leading some to add a second entree
