    Never disappointed! We have been coming to this establishment for many occasions. The food is top-notch, and the service is beyond exceptional! Our waiter today was Chase! He was so attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. The food has always been amazing, flavorful, and the plates look like works of art! I will recommend this place for a cute dinner with the girls or an intimate date night ✨

    First time visiting with a group of five and we had an awesome experience. The space isn’t huge, but it does not feel crowded. It’s modern, and well decorated. The food was delicious across the board. All the pastas were fantastic, well balanced without being overly salty or oily. The dry-aged ribeye is on the pricier side, but it’s a great statement dish when you are treating and it’s grilled to perfection. Desserts were a highlight. The tiramisu was light, fluffy, and perfectly balanced, and the gelatos were incredibly smooth and creamy, honestly some of the best I’ve had. Our server was super friendly and personable, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

    We had reservations across the street last week when my family and friends were in town and had spoken to several Evelina customers outside where we parked. They all raved about the food so we decided to try it. We sat at the bar and were served right away. The pasta dishes did not disappoint for brunch.... mushroom ravioli and oxtail ragu. The cocktails were also interesting. We would visit again.

    Walked in restaurant Saturday at 6pm, got two seats at the bar without a reservation. Food was good, drinks were too - bartender was nice but seemed a bit overwhelmed. Hostess was so nice, she was pregnant but hustling to service us and speak to us :) (thank you) Vibes were great! Would go back Paid +$250 for two so it is expensive

    First, I want to commend the culinary team here. The food was truly exceptional, particularly the chanterelle ravioli pasta and the NYC strip. The cocktails were also excellent. However, the service we received is close to tragedy. While our server seemed to be pleasant gay dude, there was a noticeable lack of attentiveness and interest throughout the entire visit. We had absolutely no interaction, beside when placing our initial food order. We experienced zero follow-ups regarding our drinks or food, nor any general check-ins. This lack of engagement resulted in us waiting approximately 20 minutes to order dessert, which is completely unnecessary. We end up tipping 20% because we plan to come back but this should not be a service standard for the restaurant of this caliber.
