We just had a wonderful delicious dinner at Evviva in Malden. Everything was outstanding. Chicken parm, eggplant parm, salads and wine. Can’t wait to go back and try the pizza. Ava at the bar was outstanding. If you’re in the mood for Italian give them a try.

It was just okay the last time I went. The place was kind of empty. They didn't seem to be a whole lot of wait staff. For an Italian restaurant to not have bread and oil for dipping is kind of ridiculous. I noticed other Patrons near my table also had issues with items not being available.I have been there twice previously and had very good experiences but not this last time. On the other hand The godfather Burger I ordered was very juicy and well made.

Great food. Server only had 2 tables so we kinda felt rushed b/c he kept coming to table like ever 90 seconds. We told him everything was good just we would let him know if we needed anything. He was otherwise great and made suggestion about menu, Sausage rice balls App. and chicken alfredo were unbelievably good.

Amazing options for celiac customers like my wife, and no tree nuts or peanuts in the whole place makes it safe for my daughter. I just wish it was closer to home so we could visit more often.Dietary restrictions: No tree nuts or peanuts in the restaurant, and they have an amazing selection of gluten free options made safely for those with celiac disease. Absolutely amazing.Parking: Tons of spots just around the corner in the garage which is only a few bucks for a dinner.Kid-friendliness: They offer crayons and colorable kids menus for kids, as well as a great kids menu with lots of options. Our kids got to pick exactly what they wanted to not eat.

I took a bad decision by going here, should've noticed how dead this restaurant was before I went in. Not a single soul came here while my friend and I were here and the service was sub-par. Even though we were the only ones to be in the restaurant, the food took a while to be made....which made us nauseous and sick after eating. Wouldn't recommend at all!Dietary restrictions: They offer a gluten-free menu

This is personal to start off but good. I love wings, make them myself, and I have never encountered a better tasting wing. Not so crispy outside but juicy inside and flavor all the way through, the spice does carry but I enjoyed them. 9/10, only because I haven't tried every wing.

Nice Italian restaurant with warm and cozy ambiance. I had the cioppino with grilled bread which was deliciously rich and hearty- a great accompaniment to a chilly New England afternoon.

We ordered on Uber eats so I can’t really rate atmosphere or service, but came here to say that for $200 my family got the smallest small pizza I’ve ever seen, a ravioli dish with about 4 ravioli, a tiny container of fettuccine that wouldn’t even feed a child, a “reasonable” short rib risotto, and reasonable chicken dish (though both on the small side for Italian ) for the price of a 30-40$ dish I’d expect to make two meals of it and generally can when ordering from other Italian spots. Wanted to give this new place a try- and though it tasted “ok” absolutely not value for the price.
This was our first visit and we will be back. We sat at the busy bar and the bartender acknowledged us immediately, handing us menus and a drink menu. She was the only server behind the bar and she was busy. We ordered wine and a craft beer. We ordered pasta for dinner. My husband had the ravioli which he said were cooked perfectly, however he was not a fan of the cream sauce. I got the pasta and meatballs fra diavolo sauce which I loved. It was quite spicy as I was hoping for. The meatballs were delicious. I have to mention the manager that was on. She was excellent at her job. I noticed her everywhere helping out, but what really stood out was when the lady next to me mentioned she had a sensitivity to salt and wanted no added salt. The bartender enlisted the help of the manager who went out of her way to help the woman get exactly what she wanted. She was very professional and patient. She also told my husband he could try a different sauce on the ravioli next time we come. The pizza looked great and the menu had lots of options. Red and white sauce pizza. I ended the meal with a chocolate martini which was delicious.

This place is awful. Let’s break this down into three categories.1) the food: God awful. The pizza is undercooked, doughy and the cheese is inedible. The starters are terrible. The food tastes like it was made by a person actively googling what they are making.2) the service: they were nice. That is all.3) atmosphere: who plays skrillex. Literally who? This isn’t a rave it’s a restaurant.Don’t. Go. Here.

Honestly don't understand the hype with this place lol. The food is below average. Since we live in the neighborhood, we have it 2 tries. We were let down both times and tried different things each time. Won't be back.

The food was mid ash and they had some sorry ass service, and to top it off, they added a 25$ gratuity charge. They place was also empty wit some slow service.

$30+ for a pepperoni pizza? I expected my mind would be blown. it was not. very doughy, undercooked, don't get it.
