"Sidewalk seating has always been a thing at Evelina. But now, there’s a whole lot more outdoor space to sit down with a date and appreciate how photogenic Fort Greene is. The menu at this overachieving neighborhood Italian restaurant changes often, but you can expect things like burrata ravioli with chunks of king crab or mafaldine with mushroom ragu." - nikko duren
"Mediterranean delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren
"Several months ago, you would’ve brought a date to Evelina, hugged awkwardly at the front door, then shared some squid ink tonnarelli while discussing your favorite brands of toothpaste. And you can still sort of do that, at least the tonnarelli part. Evelina has a bunch of different pastas for pickup and delivery, as well as some stuff like burrata, octopus, and bottles of wine - and they’re also selling bottled cocktails, in case you prefer to consume your mezcal in bulk." - bryan kim
"Evelina is an overachieving neighborhood Italian restaurant where the menu changes often. Expect things like mafaldine with uni butter and squid-ink spaghetti with chunks of king crab, and be sure to make the pastas the main focus of your meal. And, if it’s nice out, ask to get seated at one of the tables on the sidewalk where you can sit with a date and appreciate how quiet, photogenic, and expensive-looking Fort Greene is." - bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg
"Like Lilia, Evelina is a nice-looking place in Brooklyn where the only possible reason that your date would fail is if you refused to share your pasta. That scenario could happen at this Fort Greene Mediterranean spot—the rotating pastas, with things like wild boar ragu and uni, are all excellent. If there’s a wait, you can share some small plates and Italian wine at the long bar." - team infatuation
