Undoubtedly, New Year's Resolutions about eating healthier are often the hardest to keep. And sure, a lot of this boils down to waning motivation and a general lack of self-restraint (*ahem* hi.). But another (and more forgiving) theory is that we set these goals at the beginning of January, just as winter begins, and as temps continue to drop, who wants to eat cold salads and go for runs outside? Winter is a time for hibernation, Netflix, take-out, and hot bowls of pasta, so living a healthy, active lifestyle seems simply counterintuitive (honestly, I vote for resolutions being a summer thing). And as your resolutions fall away and you embrace the doldrums of winter, why not enjoy a nice hot bowl of pasta (or three) at Santa Monica's new hotspot, Uovo? From the same minds behind Sugarfish, Uovo is a small, no-reservations, quick and casual pasta joint serving fresh, handmade noods for relatively reasonable prices.
