“First and foremost, the service was amazing! We were lucky enough to be served by Sara who did a fantastic job! We never wanted for anything, she was friendly, knowledge, helpful, and a genuinely nice person. It was a pleasure to meet her. We had some allergy issues and she took great care of us, every dish was flagged for allergies. The wonderful woman who greeted and seated us was friendly, welcoming, professional and very stylish with a beautiful smile. We felt comfortable right away when we arrived. Everyone we crossed paths with was fantastic, 5 isn't nearly enough stars for the service, 7 out of 5 stars. I'm a little jaded because I'm used to mom and pop style real home cooked Italian and atmosphere. Pulled into the parking lot and there's Lasy Gaga and 'NSync blasting. Not exactly what I think of when I think Italian. The atmosphere reminded me of an upscale Papa Ginos. Don't get me wrong, it's modern, very clean, open, and comfortable, but if you had blindfolded me, brought me inside, and asked me what kind of restaurant I was in, I would have guessed American Comfort Food, not Italian. Speaking of the food, it was at best average. The dessert was to die for. The Ultimate Chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla was the highlight of the meal. Sadly the decaf coffee was so bitter it took 5 packets of sweetener to take the edge of of it. The main course was lasagna that was, ok. It was hot, well prepared, but all together, boring. Got the bolonase sauce, but even that didn't give it life. It tasted like it was frozen and reheated before serving. Nothing about it said home made. The appetizer was cheesy garlic bread sticks that had no real flavor, and were just limp, and bland. I think they would have been much better without the cheese. The dipping sauce was good though, probably the same sauce that's on the lasagna but it added a little life to a pretty average appetizer. The good news was it was reasonably priced. Came to about $80 (before the tip) for two of us, and we had both apps, main course, and dessert. So it's very reasonably priced for what we got. To be fair, i did try my wife's chicken marsala and it was excellent. Lots of flavor, bit if a crunch but it accented rather than overwhelmed. I know what I'll try next time. End of the day, I'll definetly go back to try again. Maybe I just hit a bad night or food choice. With fantastic service, decent atmosphere that's just not Italian (with overly loud music better played at a party than dinner), but for a reasonable price Evviva is a good choice.”
