Ugo Restaurant

“Stopped by Ugo in Culver City for some Italian and had a really solid meal. We ordered a mix of pizzas, pasta, grilled octopus, prosciutto eggs benedict, and finished with gelato. Everything came out at a good pace, service was straightforward, and the food was consistent across the board. The Figo Neapolitan Pizza and grilled octopus were definitely the highlights for me — the pizza had a subtle sweetness that worked really well, and the octopus was tender with a nice char. The fettuccine pescatore was also very solid, plenty of seafood but still easy to finish. The Margherita pizza was simple but well done, and the eggs benedict hit the brunch spot with the prosciutto adding the right amount of saltiness. We wrapped it up with the gelato, which was honestly incredible — probably the best we’ve had recently and a great cap to the meal. Overall, nothing felt over the top or complicated, just solid Italian food done well. It’s the kind of place you’d come back to without overthinking it — good flavors, consistent dishes, and dessert that actually makes you want to linger a little longer.”

“Very tasty, I recommend trying pasta and pizza and definitely gelato, they make it themselves. They also made me a personal alcohol-free cocktail, incredibly delicious. But be prepared that you will not get service like in Italy, the guys are sometimes so busy that you will have to wait decently, just be ready”

“Awesome fresh and delicious real Italian dishes. The Gelato is some of the best I have ever had. I highly recommend. The patio seating is great and the Culver City parking structure is a very close, about a half a block.....Very convenient.”

“Visited this place with a colleague on a Monday evening. The food was very good. Super tasted. Ate everything. We had the lobster ravioli and the penne pesto. As an appetizer we started with the fried mozzarella. And ended with some top tier gelato. The food is great; go for the food if that’s your thing. If you are into ambiance, then try another spot. For example, I wouldn’t take a person here on a really romantic date. It’s just not that kind of vibe but if you don’t care about that then the food is worth the trip. Service was ok; I’ve had better.”

“TV in the lounge is too small! Love this place but during major games some folks (me) come to watch a game in the background. Plus, during winter, a warm fireplace scene would be cool. Thanks for listening. 😊📺”
