EVO North Scottsdale

My party of four had a lovely dinner to celebrate a couple of birthdays at the table. I'd never before been to Evo and was pleasantly surprised. I liked the feel of the restaurant, from the decor to the music. Kayla was our server -- she was so friendly and attentive to our needs. We had the whipped feta with honey appetizer and it was delicious! A friend ordered ravioli that was made in-house and she loved it. Two others had the buratta salad and raved about it. My Caesar salad , minus a protein add-on, was pretty basic. I was so pleased to be prompted by Open Table when making the reservation to specify that ours was a birthday celebration. Kayla surprised our honorees with a petite chocolate mousse dessert complete with a candle. Such a sweet and generous touch. I'm absolutely returning but eill indulge in something more tempting than the Caesar next time.

My second time dining here and it was very good. Food was delicious, not too much garlic and the fresh pasta was fantastic. The Caesar salad was dressed perfectly though wish fresh ground pepper had been offered. When we asked for it we were instead given just small table salt and pepper shakers. Same with our entrees - would have liked to have been offered grated cheese or red pepper but our server never checked back with us. Lastly, I have trouble with an Italian restaurant that doesn't offer bread with the meal. But, all those minor things aside, it was a very good dinner in a nice place with friendly service.

Our hostess did not read our preference sheet and did not seem to be happy to be at work. She lacked enthusiasm and is probably not cut out for her job. Our waiter was enthusiastic, but overworked. Our food (pizza and dessert) was burned, but the owner made up for it with compensation. Overall, I think the Restaurant appears to be struggling, but it has potential. Also, be careful with the sangria because it's heavy on the grenadine which is not good for headaches, and the rose is too heavy. @toastofluxury

This was a mixed experience. We had been unsatisfied our last time but decided to give them another chance. Everything started out well. Our server was attentive, personable & friendly. The wine was a bit slow in coming but they food was served timely. My wife really enjoyed her chicken while my pasta was good but nothing exceptional. The wheels came off when our check arrived. We were charged for a bottle of wine, not the glass that was ordered. Also, the $20 coupon we had given the server had not been applied to the check. I pointed this out to our server & when the revised check arrived the $20 coupon still had not been applied. It took 3 iterations to get the proper amount.

My first time ever coming to this Awesome establishment ! The vibe , ambiance is heartfelt the Food is delicious and plentiful the staff is wonderful next time have to the calamari next time. Shiajuan tatum❤️

I was visiting from Chicago and came across this restaurant. Let me tell you the food was amazing. We had creamed feta with warm bread and apples and it was out of this world. My main dish was Chicken Parm and it was served with a alfredo sauce on a little pillows of love. The food was soooo good. Drinks are priced decent. The staff was very attentive and the atmosphere was great. Love the place and if I lived out here I would come all the time. This place is a MUST TRY!

My wife and I had a great time at Evo for our anniversary dinner last night! Kind service, relaxed but very nice atmosphere and wonderful food and drinks!

I ordered the “Hey Honey!” cocktail, which was satisfyingly citrusy and had a real kick! The meatballs for the appetizer were so delicious, and we were fighting over the last of the tasty red sauce! The lobster gnocchi was so tender and perfectly cooked! The pepperoni pizza had the little cupped pepperonis and the crust was in the Neapolitan style, which we love! The butter cake desert was crunchy outside, soft inside and had a creamy sauce that was not too sweet. Just perfect!

Our server was attentive and gave us plenty of time when needed, he had menu suggestions, and was efficient in the right measure.

Thanks for a great experience and a great meal!

Parking: We had no trouble getting a spot on a Monday evening.

My boyfriend and I went to Evo with a group of friends. There was about 10 of us in total. When half of us sat down at 9:30pm there were very few tables in the restaurant and it looked as though we were our server Kailee H’s only table. When she got our drink order we told her we needed a minute to look at the food menu. She then disappeared for 20 minutes after our drinks were delivered. As more of our group arrived she took their drink orders as well but there were multiple times we didn’t see her for 20+ minutes. Mind you our whole table works in the F&B industry so we are pretty understanding. She asked me if I wanted another drink and I said not yet then she proceeded to bring me another and we’re not the kind of people to cause an issue so we just gave the drink away to others in our group. Our waters were never refilled once and we were there for 2 hours. Eventually she comes back to the table to ask 3 people in our group who ordered 2 pizzas what they ordered cause she forgot. That was 20 minutes after they initially ordered… And to top it off because we were a large party an auto gratuity of 20% was added to the check without any mention previously, totally understand but would’ve been nice if it was mentioned. We work in the industry so it takes a lot for us to want to tip poorly but had it not been automatically added we would have because this was truly the worst service I have received in years.

Went with friends for happy hour. Sat at the bar and Jessie was so friendly and her zeal for the Halloween season was inspiring. She was attentive and provided us with suggestions for food, since it was our first time there. Will be back. Drinks and food were great.

Service was adequate. They sat our party of six at a table too large for comfortable conversation.

I ordered Togo the Calabrian & Prosciutto Pizza, it was extremely salty, the arugula, soggy, and absolutely no hot honey at all. A shame

Food health advisors alert!!! Not what we expected. We thought this was an upscale atmosphere - nope! ...worse yet as we were seated in the bar area, we noticed several times the bartenders using their bare fingers eating the fruit/vegetables that they cut for the cocktails they made. This was tremendously insulting and felt encroaching on customers' health.
Our waitress, Gabby, did not check on our satisfaction, which we actually enjoyed our burrata salad and honey hot pizza. However, the lack of visible sanitization left us nauseous as to what we possibly don't know compared to what we literally saw.
This location deserves a health inspector - play back the video cameras.
