Mediterranean and Italian locale serving pastas, small plates, and wood-fired dishes, plus cocktails.
"Not only do pinsa and Parasite both start with the letter P, but also, they’ll make you feel happier in your apartment. If you live near the Fort Greene area, you can live this reality by ordering one of Evelina’s Roman-style pinsas directly through their website here or by phone at 929-298-0209." - hannah albertine
"“I really love Evelina. They have an insane brunch menu. My go-to order is the pulpo, their grilled octopus. It comes with a sort of ajo blanco sort of sauce on the plate, and charred peppers. I also love their gazpacho, which is tomatoes and watermelon—so good, so light and delicious. I was there the other day and I was like, ‘Oh yes, I'll have the gazpacho please and the pulpo,’ and my waitress was like ‘You said you're gluten-free, right? Let me check, because I feel like the gazpacho has breadcrumbs.’ I was like, ‘What?’ Because I've been ordering it—like, been ordering it. She comes back and goes, ‘I'm so sorry, I don't know who let you eat that. It totally has gluten in it.’ I was crushed, bro. I was crushed. Like, my brain broke for a second. Maybe it's some sort of weird placebo thing, where I'm like, ‘It's fine, I'll eat it.’ Now I'm questioning my whole identity. I got the ceviche instead, which was delicious also. It wasn't the gazpacho. I was so disappointed. Now when I go back I'm gonna be like, ‘Hello, darkness.’”" - brennan carley

"All of Evelina’s cocktails range from single servings to large batches that you can drink by yourself in the comfort of your own home. From negronis to margaritas, each one costs between $14 and $40 and can be ordered online." - nikko duren
"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
