"Fast casual pasta rarely tastes as good as the stuff at Uovo. Maybe that’s because the pastas themselves are handmade in Italy before being flown to the U.S., or maybe because it’s possible to dine well, and inexpensively, in well under an hour at this always-churning carb destination." - Farley Elliott
"A pasta-focused casual spot whose tonnarelli all’amatriciana is widely praised as one of the city’s best pastas—dense, slightly chewy fresh pasta made in Italy paired with a rich, guanciale-forward tomato sauce; the menu includes other excellent pastas like tortellini in brodo and tagliatelle al ragù, though the lack of a starter salad is noted." - Eater Staff
"HiHo Cheeseburger is joining partner companies Uovo and Kazunori. Uovo, which does casual pastas, and Japanese hand roll bar Kazunori, are recently-opened sibling projects next to the new HiHo Cheeseburger location." - Farley Elliott
"Hand-sheeted pasta shipped fresh from Bologna because of a particular Italian egg yields elemental, ingredient-driven dishes offered at modest prices; $16 pasta servings include tonnarelli all’amatriciana, tagliatelle al ragú, and tortellini in brodo that model classic Italian recipes. The kitchen retains two large pasta stations and a half wrap-around bar with 24 seats so cooks can plate dishes directly in front of diners, with a few scattered tables for those who prefer not to sit at the bar. The Mid-Wilshire outpost occupies the ground floor of the new Vision high-rise at the corner of Wilshire and Crescent Heights, features a modern wood-paneled design by Marmol Radziner, has drawn critical praise, and operates daily from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. with delivery available via Postmates." - Matthew Kang
"A casual pasta-focused spot that makes all of its pasta by hand in Italy and flies it to Los Angeles; this new location marks the brand’s first expansion beyond its Santa Monica outpost, which opened to strong reviews. Tied by overlapping partners to the Sugarfish family but operating independently, the Vision on Wilshire unit will replicate the restaurant’s existing menu, serve from 11:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., and offer free parking within the mixed-use development." - Matthew Kang
