Reviews for Uno Tre Otto in Claremont, CA
Overall impressions: "Uno tre otto was pretty dang good." "What's going on, how come everything tastes so good?" Wow that place... was good. For appetizers, we got Amy's salad, fettunta, bluefin tartare, and panzanella. All were perfect - small, light,fresh. Then we got casarecce (twisty pasta) and rigatoni. Both were really good too, rigatoni was possibly slightly tastier dueto it having more flavors (tomato garlic basil). I was surprised how good the milanese was - usually the breaded pig or chickenthat I get is really rubbery or soggy, but this was evenly breaded, the meat was of uniform thickness, and it was perfectlycrispy and oily. The cod was small but so tender, and cod evenly balanced out the vibrant roast fennel puree (it's strong, butthat was fine with me). The thin strips of fried leek were a pleasant surprise - I could eat those as a snack. Butterscotchbudino was delicious (salted caramel is amazing), and something that has been on their menu for two years. We are outside undera tent that covered 6 small tables. It felt rustic, intimate, unassuming. Inside, it was pretty small and dark. The decor feltcharming. Lots of wood. The kitchen is small, the plates stores behind slatted wooden doors. The bathroom was unique: the stalldoors and door handle seemed old and flimsy, but in a charming way. The bathroom doors were also really unique with theirmale/female signs. It was really nice, but personally, I prefer to sit outside in the fresh air. So good that it is worthconsidering for an upcoming wedding dinner. Read more
Uno Tre Otto is a very nice place to dine for a special occasion. The dining room and kitchen are basically one room. It's a... mostly wooden room, like an old pub. The room has a high ceiling and a good, comfortable vibe. The food is delicious, farm totable freshness. There are a number of appetizers, and then you have three pasta and three meat dishes to choose from. Each dishis served ala carte. The portions aren't huge, so the expectation is that each person will order a pasta and a meat dish. Thisreminds me of the multi-course meals I enjoyed at my Italian grandparents house when I was a kid. The dish pictured in myreview is a poached cod with roasted fennel puree. The red slices on top are crispy garlic. It was great. They have a prettygood selection of wines, though no Spumante. There were at least three bottled beers to choose from. I really liked theSaison. I'm gluten free nowadays, so I wasn't able to order a pasta dish to go with my poached cod, and was still a littlehungry afterwards. It would be great if they had one rice or potato dish, but it's pretty traditional Italian, so I don't expectthat. I'm sure if you order a pasta and a meat dish like you're supposed to, you'll be satisfied. I look forward to eating hereagain. Read more
This place is a gem. Funky atmosphere with absolutely perfect food. Solid service as well. Our server, Jamie, made excellent... wine and food recommendations. The menu is creative and varied. The food was prepared and presented to perfection. The farm totable concept means that the produce is harvested each day and the menu changes with what is seasonally and daily available. Ilove that I could go back and have completely different options, but I am confident that absolutely anything I ordered would beexcellent. Read more
Uno Tre Otto came highly recommended so my expectations were high. From reservations to every aspect of their food, it was... fabulous. We just had appetizers and then were too full to go on. The blend and balance of flavors and textures created aculinary treat I wanted to pick up the bowl of leftover Manila clam juices and just drink it, but my mother would have had aheart attack so I just sopped it up with their fresh homemade bread WOW Read more
Discreet, privy, intimate, understated, hearty - 5 words I’d use to describe our dining experience here. I love that they are... growing their own produces, properly prepared farm-to-table style, community-supported agriculture arrangements. Foodsustainability, traceability and nutrition are important to me. I found that distinctive tasting menu for each day isrefreshing. Antiquated dining interior feels very vintage, charming scene on the outside too. Notorious for their variety ofpasta dishes & succulent herbaceous flavors. Worth checking out with your loved ones ???? Read more
Birthday dinner in the Claremont Village! Flat Iron steak and Halibut w/prawns did not disappoint. The intimate setting was just... as appealing as much as the food was delicious. Read more
I have been at this restaurant in the middle of August of 2021! The meal, that I have ordered was quite delicious. The place... looked decent and welcoming. The waitress, that served my table, was friendly, welcoming, and polite. Nevertheless, the pricesare on the expensive side. So, I would only recommend this place for people, who have disposable cash. Overall, I have apositive experience in this place. Thus, when I will have disposable cash, I will definitely this restaurant, again! Read more
Mixed review. I'll start with the service was fine, and our server was sweet. The setting was very warm, even if you sat outside... in the cold (thanks to the heaters). That's being said, if you want to pay for a concept, this is your place. If you want ameal, maybe skip it. You are encouraged to buy your meal based on courses, making the portions very small. For a high-scale andfarm-to-table establishment, I would expect the dishes to be well seasoned, but they lacked balance and salt. Lastly, maybe notall people eat with knives, but I do. A person shouldn't have to wait for their main (presumably third) course to get aknife. Again, cute place if you want to show off what you have in the bank, but not for filling your stomach. Read more
