The food is out of this world—flavor, texture, and portions are perfect. Our waiter was very attentive and gave us excellent recommendations for both wine and food. The atmosphere is romantic, with beautiful décor. We got the lentil soup, and steak tartare for appetizers and vegetarian lasagna and pappardelle for main

I have only checked out Evelina for brunch but it is so good that it keeps me coming back. Consistent, reasonably priced brunch, and always a hit with out of town guests. Friendly service too! Highly recommend!

One of my favorite neighborhood spots! We first came here for brunch on New Years and have been coming back for brunch and dinner!
Every pasta dish we had was delicious! Drinks and desserts are also very tasty! They inspired me to start making my own lemon ricotta pancakes (although, mine are not as good!)
Also, I feel like a VIP whenever they respond to my text message for a last minute reservation. They have always been able to fit me in!

I walked away from this restaurant reminded how much a great meal contributes to a great evening. i have eaten at most of the top restaurants within a mile or so of here and this Evelina ranks among the best. The plates reflect a chef that understands flavor combinations extremely well, the servers are kind without being intrusive or over the top, the atmosphere is exactly what you want from a Fort Greene dining experience.

If I could give Evelina more than five stars, I would—preferably in the shape of pasta. The food was phenomenal (like, “I need a moment to process this bite” level phenomenal) and the service was just as amazing. Every dish tasted like it was crafted by someone who genuinely cares about carbs and happiness, and every server treated us like we were long-lost friends who finally made it home for dinner.
Between the perfectly cooked pasta, the melt-in-your-mouth entrées, and the “how is this real?” desserts, I’m convinced Evelina might be operating on a higher culinary plane. If you want an Italian meal that makes you briefly consider moving to Italy—or at least becoming a regular—this is the spot.
Highly recommend. Bring your appetite. And maybe some self-control… or don’t.

Wow food was amazing. I always find italian pastas too be too salty but here the texture of noodles and the flavors were amazing. Oxtail ragu pappardelle - the oxtail literally melts in your mouth. I usually dont like ragu pappardelle bc usually I find it very dry but this was amazing. Squid ink spagetti was also so great mix of seafood and also perfect balance of flavors. Tiramisu is a MUST!! im very picky with my tiramisu and it was soft moist and super creamy the perfect ratio a tiramisu should have. Evan our server was great.
There was a big group next to us so it was a bit loud so was had to raise our voices but overall restaurant atmosphere is filled with beautiful paintings but is on the smaller side.
I will definitely back to try other dishes very soon :)

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

OH. MY. GOSH. A friend of a friend mentioned this restaurant when we recently moved to the area and it did not disappoint. Let’s start with the ambiance: it’s Brooklyn babe, there’s good vibes out the waazoo but something about this little corner of heaven entrants you as soon as you walk through the door. We were told it was Italian owned, and I believe it because they make you feel like family. Now the food—my word was it fresher than a spring breeze. And to top it all off they have the best bartenders and servers that attend to your every need. please go.

We arranged for our wedding lunch at Evelina. Now, let me tell you: the food was terrific, and there was a lot of it! The portions were huge by NYC standards. This is possibly one of the best Italian restaurants out there. This is definitely a gem of a place.
P.S.: I was never a big fan of charred octopus, but I now have to change my mind.
The host was so rude it ruined the whole experience. Restaurant is super loud even for New York. If you come here ask for the specific corner tables and you might be able to hear each other.

Stopped here by chance on a lovely fall Sunday morning. Beautifully located on the corner of the street, the outdoor seating area gets abundant sun in the am. Drip coffee was terrific and was refilled for me. The lemon scone was phenomenal - warm with crispy bits and a moist interior served with a sharp lemon custard and dense whip cream. Was tempted to try a bunch of other stuff I saw arriving at tables next to me, but ran out of time. Did visit the inside which was both elegant and cozy. Service was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Omg we had the best time at Evelina! The place is absolutely gorgeous with cozy vibes and a romantic lighting. The menu is mouthwatering and everything we tried was amazing! They have delicious mocktails too! It’s perfect for date night, group and solo dining.
