What a delightful surprise to return to this wonderful Italian restaurant so many years later to find it is even better than remembered. If weather is good, seating outside is a must. We opted for indoors due to a cold front. Our servers (Carrie and trainee, Kodi) were extremely attentive, funny, and excellent. The four of us focused on the appetizer menu: lobster ravioli (seafood delight), stuffed zucchini flowers (loaded with ricotta), oreganato clams (okay), traditional meatball (very good), and artichoke (garlicky goodness). My girlfriend and I split the haddock special. It was spectacular. The thick white fish was fresh and ultra-mild with a light lemon butter sauce and perfectly roasted asparagus. The guys got a salmon with fava beans and a bolognese made with short rib. Both were delicious. Perhaps the best part of our meal (aside from the companionship of our guests) was the way our servers brought out just the right number of appetizers to share, cleared the table, brought the next round, removing glasses, bringing fresh utensils, refilling water and wine, and perfectly timing (and splitting) our entrees. It was the best service I've experienced in a long time. Bravo to Evo! Oh, and I love that they use balsamic vinegar to spell Evo in their olive oil.

If there were more than 5 stars to give!!!! The food , service and overall experience is always outstanding. Out go to restaurant for years! We always request Daniel as our server, he is kind, knowledgeable and friendly and always willing to go one step above!!! Amazing! Kudos to Melissa (manager) who works the room without being intrusive and is hands on to be sure everything runs smoothly

Outstanding food and service! One of our absolute favorite places to dine, And they did an excellent job on a very busy New Year's Eve. Well done!
Anthony
Food was excellent Service was good, but server was young or new Besides that great experience, can't wait to come back
Meri
The food was great, but staff was amazing! I definitely recommend this place. The place where this place is located is a little run down but I never they are doing renovations.
Jim
The service was excellent and pasta was also. The chicken breast was dry and the fillet mignon a bit tough ( two dinners each ordered and agreed). Bottom line- EVO is trending toward second tier dining.
Rick
Evo and chef Erik, who we know a long time, are always great! Food and ambiance, inside or out, beautiful
Barry
Great for family special event. Food, service & ambience were amazing. Even with a wide variety of personal tastes everyone was totally amazed. We will be back!
I had pasta and it was delicious. Others had rack of lamb and shrimp and loved them. Our waiter was outstanding. Forgot our salad and comped our dessert and sent us home with salad to go. These people know what they are doing.

We had a birthday celebration and started with the most delicious lavender lemonade mocktail. The service as usual was excellent. The food absolutely delicious, prepared perfectly. We started with a share of the Beggars Purses, They are the best at EVO. Main course was one Short Rib over risotto and one Osso Buco. We ended of course with scrumptious desserts, Tiramisu and Cannoli.

We sat in the nook by the bar. It is quieter than the diningroom....but outside is also pretty chill. Anyway, out server, Tiffany, is tops! As is the bartender, Ashley. The pace of service is fantastic. The food is very good.

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary & the staff treated us very kind and made sure we were taken care of. Food was very high quality and tasty with great presentation. Ideal setting for special occasions!

It was our first time at EVO, and we loved everything about it. We were greeted by the hostess and seated immediately even though we were early. Once at the table we were asked what water we would like to drink, we chose pellegrino . Then our waiter Andrew came over and asked about our cocktail choice , when my wife wasn’t sure he said he would be back giving us time. No time during the evening were we rushed. We choose two appetizers, Nancy’s meatballs, and Eggplant stack. Both were excellent. Again Andrew gave us time to decide on our main course. My wife had the Orecchiete, and I had the Gnocchi. Both were excellent and served piping hot, which was great. We had the Italian cheesecake and since we’re celebrating our anniversary, it was served with a sparkler on top. One negative I would say is Imasked for an espresso with sambuca, a pet peeve of mine is that the sambuca should be brought out before the espresso. Since the sambuca will cool down the espresso if it’s delivered first it will get cool waiting for the sambuca. But setting that aside, I would recommend EVO and intend on going back , it’s outstanding .
