Ever Andalo

We have had so many friends recommend this place, so we finally popped in with a friend. We did not have a reservation, but we wanted to sit at the bar anyway. Reservations are highly recommended because it gets busy. There were 3 of us and we wanted to try several things on the menu, so we shared everything, it was plenty of food for us. Allison our bartender/server was great at explaining the menu and gave us great recommendations for sharing. The bread was fun and came with 3 different olive oils from different regions in Italy. We also got the beet salad, go good! We also got the Branzino and Gnocchi. We were too full for deserts, but had a nice bottle of wine and a cocktail. Carly who also helped us with recommendations was the best. We will definitely be back and spread the word on this cute Italian place.

We arrived at 5pm on a Friday without reservations to sit at the bar. This place fills up fast. If visiting on the weekends make a reservation. Our bartender Alison was very helpful in explaining the menu. The 3 of us got shareable plates. Everything was awesome. The wine list is huge. Alison once again helped us out picking wine that would complement our food. This place is a gem in Noda.

Definitely recommend for any special occasion or dinner you’d like to splurge on! The drinks and food are great. The coffee and dessert are also good too. Definitely on the more expensive end, hence why I recommend for special occasions and times where you’re preparing to splurge only. I was really appreciative of our server. She clearly was giving us recommendations for things she thought we’d actually like, not just trying to rack up our bill. And all of her recommendations were wonderful and spot on with what she described. Exactly what I need in a server! The only critique I’d have is that I wish the food would come out a bit hotter. Encountered this both times I’ve come here. Make sure you get a reservation well in advance. This is definitely a popular place, so reservations fill up quickly.

Small intimate Italian restaurant located in NoDa. Parking can be tough but found a metered spot close by. My wife and I booked our first ever visit to Ever Andalo for our 1 year wedding anniversary. We showed up about 15 minutes early for our 6:00 reservation and were seated promptly. Service was great and our waitress, Tatiana, navigated us through the menu. She hit the small details - pre bussing, relighting the candle that went out, marking the table for the next course, descriptive about the menu options and a fun personality. A nice card wishing us a happy anniversary was also provided. Pictured is the Burrata, Grilled Octopus, Calabrian Chile Papardelle and Tiramisu. Apparently the burrata was in high demand and we got the 2nd to last one of the night. Every course was delicious and can tell the authenticity of the dishes. We wanted to order everything but we’ll save that for our next trip. I’d stack it right up there with best Italian in the CLT area. If you haven’t been yet, what are you waiting for? What were we waiting for? Thank you for the wonderful anniversary dinner!

Highly Recommend! What a wonderful experience we had from the Service, Atmosphere and most importantly the Food was Amazing. Lizzie was great at answering questions and making recommendations. I can’t even begin to describe how amazing our food was. I can’t wait to go back and enjoy another wonderful evening..

Got squeezed in without reservations at the bar. Treated very nice by the bartender. Ordered only a few items, didn't want to fill up too much. Everything was very good. Pasta cooked with a little toothiness, sauce were great. Plates were a little lule warm, but didn't take away. Grilled octopus was phenomenal! The focaccia with 3 sets of oil was also spot on. Nothing to complain about at all. Not the best I've ever had, but by far one of the best options for Italian in CLT.

We visited this restaurant for our anniversary dinner. The ambiance was warm and inviting The burrata was delicious—fresh and creamy, and the pasta selections were well-executed and flavorful.The eggplant rollatini didn’t seem very fresh, which was a bit disappointing. The biggest letdown was the tiramisu, which lacked the rich, authentic flavor we were hoping for.

Amazing story and cool restaurant concept. Delicious elevated Italian with a cool vibe. Great tasting fresh ingredients. The service is outstanding as well. Don’t pass up on their brunch especially! The toast is amazing.

Loved everything! The atmosphere. The service. The wallpaper! The subway floor tiles! The dirty martini in the BEST glass! And I haven't even mentioned the food yet! We has a variety of EVERYTHING! Beets - AMAZING! Artichokes - GREAT! Tuna curd - WOW. Roasted carrots - a Must try!!! But the VERY BEST was the Bronzino!!!!! We will be back!

Brunch at Ever Andalo is amazing. If you're a fan of their dinner menu, then brunch will wow you just the same. What I find most interesting is that they have a pasta option on the menu for brunch. This season, it's a carbonara and it looked phenomenal. We each ordered the wagyu and eggs, and added fingerling potatoes and cacio e pepe polenta to round out the meal. Our waitstaff were all kind, they were thorough and attentive. This is the kind of place you'll want to return to time and time again. It feels old-world Italian, but it also feels like home. As with parking in NoDa, it can be a struggle. Choose the paid lot by the YMCA or street parking if you're lucky!

I loved the service and ambiance of Ever Andalo. I would go again for those vibes. We had a very large and comfortable booth. The table was big enough for all the starters we ordered. If I went again, I would focus on appetizers over entrees. All of the shared plates (starters) were EXCELLENT. None of us was impressed by our pasta entrees. I had a special pasta and I didn't think it had much flavor and I didn't finish it.

Went here with a friend visiting from out of town and I enjoyed it. Nick our server made it a really good experience. He helped with understanding menu items and even recommended somethings. I would definitely come back and I suggest getting the cheese cloud which is fun and good.

I celebrated my 6 month anniversary here and he couldn't have chosen a better place. 10/10 for the orange wine and the cute card that was given to us . Everyone was so kind and helpful

This was an exquisite meal from start to finish! To start off we had an absolutely wonderful waiter, Nick. He was helpful and friendly not to mention very attentive. We had some great cocktails then we got our appetizers, fried whole artichokes and the grilled octopus. Both were phenomenal! I haven't had artichokes like this outside of Rome, I was wildly impressed! The grilled octopus was perfect, I can rarely find a place in the US that cooks octopus properly. This was tender and full of flavor thanks to the sun dried tomato vinaigrette & chili oil. Now on to the main dishes, we got the Chicken piccata, Calabrian chili pappardelle & lemon poached crab rigatoni in a tomato cream sauce. The pappardelle was amazing, hand made pasta with a perfect Ragu. The rigatoni was FILLED with beautiful lump crab in a delicious sauce and topped with toasted focaccia breadcrumbs the mix of textures was superb. I was very impressed with the chicken piccata because it wasn't just some thin chicken breasts... no, it was half of a mostly deboned spatchcocked chicken that was brined and cooked to perfection on a grill and then sauced up nicely with the lemony piccata sauce. My mouth is watering just remembering it lol. Lastly we had the tiramisu trifle (I had my doubts because I'm pretty critical of a classic being messed with) but this was wonderful! I was full and still ate the whole thing! Keep it up guys! I highly recommend this place! 10/10

I really enjoy Ever Andalo and have never had anything bad there. My go-to is the Calabrian chili pappardelle pasta. For the first time, I tried the marinated white anchovies and really enjoyed them. We got bread to dip in the olive oil and marinade, which was just the right move since we came there starving. This past time we tried the chicken piccata, which was marinated in lemony capers. The flavor was delicious and it was cooked to perfection. As you can see, the fingerling potatoes come in an abundance. They have great cocktails and mocktails too!

I have been in love with Ever since the first time I went. It's romantic and cozy., Anyone who asked for a date place. Ever is my choice. However reservation will cost you $3 per person. But food is phenomenal. Especially the Burrata with orange marmalade. Something soo simple yet homey and romantically melted in your mouth over a toast. I tried to make that at home but it wasn't the same. Menu changes from time to time. And good wine they paired your food was great to me., I recommend everyone to check it out at least once.

Ever Andalo does it again! I was looking for some place delicious and special to celebrate a 40th birthday and I couldn't think of another place that I wanted her to experience. The reservation process was smooth and Harry was a gem and secured a table in the back corner, which was perfect for our small party of 3. I continue to have nothing but great things to say about this place. This time around I decided on the Apis Regina for my mocktail of choice. We shared the burrata which is never a let down and the kale crumb salad, which was a first for me, but won't be a last. For my entree I decided on the sunny cavatelli, which was the perfect size. The sun dried tomato sauce was delicious and the crunch from the broccolini was the perfect compliment to the softness of the cavatelli. And let's not forget about dessert. Probably my favorite part of any meal. My previous trips I have never saved room for dessert, but being it was a birthday, cake was essential. Let's just say I have dreams about the orange olive oil cake since having it. It was sweet with just the right amount of citrus. It was a bit more dense than I was imagining, but I did not mind. If you are looking for ambiance along with good service and delicious food, add Ever Andalo to your list!

my sister and I shared food here on Saturday night and got severe food poisoning. We got the ricotta, tortellini, and chocolate sorbel. Be careful

My husband and I decided to try Ever Andalo one weeknight for dinner after hearing great things about their food. I wasn't happy to have to pay $2 per person just to make a reservation (that doesn't come off the final bill, either), but we weren't sure if we would be able to get a table otherwise. Given how fast the restaurant filled up at 5pm on a Tuesday night, I wonder if we would have been able to get a table just walking in the door. Our server tried to convince us to get one item from each category, but we are light eaters, and that would have been far too much food for us. So, we decided to split the burrata and artichoke appetizers, and my husband got the Calabrian Chili Pappardelle and I got the Ricotta Gnocchi for our entrees. We also ordered two drinks--the barrel-aged negroni and the maker's highball. We both preferred the negroni, since the highball seemed very watered down. Of the two appetizers, we preferred the burrata. (We got it sans prosciutto, but decided we'd try it with prosciutto the next time.) The burrata was served with grilled, sliced focaccia that was just fabulous. The artichokes were served on a bed of creamy aioli sauce that was the perfect complement. However, this was just more food than we needed, so the burrata will be our only choice the next time. Of our entrees, my husband's pappardelle was FAR better than my gnocchi. The pappardelle was perfectly cooked, and the cloud of added pecorino romano made this dish divine. I don't know why they decided to fry the gnocchi. I much prefer soft pillows of ricotta gnocchi, and frying them ruined the dish IMO. The sauce was good, however. Our server was attentive and helpful, and we were out the door in less than an hour (but never felt rushed). We'll likely return, but it still burns me to have to pay for a reservation. Plus, parking in NoDa can be a pain, although we lucked out this time with a spot in front of the YMCA. There's always parking in the garage on the corner of 36th and North Davidson, albeit at a cost.

Incredibly impressive Italian restaurant for being in the US. I've been to Italy a few times, so know the great depth and flavors of one of the words number one culinary gems. Ever Andalo will not disappoint you. Also being a US restaurant I've tempered my expectations. Appetizer- Went with the burrata and foccacia. Foccacia was soft, grilled for great added flavor and the burrata was delicious. Primi- Calabrian Ragu. This was fantastic. Flavor of the Ragu was on point, fresh tomatoes and the chilli was well pronounced. Pasta was good. Secondi - Flavor of the Porchetta and the side was fantastic. An interesting take on Porchetta. Only knock was the skin was not crispy. Olive Oil Cake - A little drier than I'd have preferred but a good cake overall. Not too sweet.

Ever Andalo was really so scrumptious. I didn't get a photo of my mushroom torteloni but it was sooooo good. I didn't try any of the other pastas but everyone really enjoyed their meal. Burrata and Focaccia was also very very good. The waiter was really kind and even had 2 separate people come up to us and say how amazing he is (he had fans!). We were too stuffed to get any dessert but we were celebrating a birthday so the waiter brought out this candle on a plate. I'm not sure if there's no complimentary dessert because we didn't ask for one or what the deal was but the candle on a plate is kinda a WILD move. We thought it was hilarious but also like just bring out a scoop of icecream if you're gonna do that..... no sweat just thought it was silly.

A one of a kind establishment. Ambience is the perfect balance of welcoming and luxury. Servers have so much knowledge of the menu and provide recommendations with specific points. The burrata is so fresh and the orange marmalade was the perfect combo. I ordered the Calabrian Chili Pappardelle and dreamt about it afterwards. The freshness of the pasta is obvious and makes such a difference paired with the fresh ragu. Absolutely adore this place and am itching to try their new brunch menu.

One of the best restaurants in Charlotte. We tried most of the menu. Everything was really good. There were some standouts. The charcuterie board, focaccia, burrata, and hazelnuts were great starters. The spaghettini, gnocchi, porchetta, and bucatini were all great. However the favorite was the short ribs. The service and drinks were top notch. Highly recommend.

What a gem of a find! Came here for dinner with a colleague without reservation, and the hostess was super helpful and accommodating. We even got the best spacious table in the back. It gets better, our waiter Grant was great! Providing us with the backstory of the restaurant, and thoughtful recommendations. We ordered focaccia and ricotta, spring salad, bucatini, chicken piccata and asparagus. Everything was so delicious! Flavors are well developed, portions are just right, and presentation was appealing. We enjoyed everything we ordered. 5 stars for food and 5 stars for service! Will definitely go back again.

Loved this Venue. Service was superior! Chef came to the table and introduced himself. Food was so creative and tasty ! We had an abundance of the specialty cocktails and then quite a few Appetizers. Burrata and fresh Ricotta, Crudo, Warm Olives, Deep fried Artichokes. I needed up with the Porchetta and it was crunchy and delicious with an apricot confit on the side and a Fennel Microgreen salad. Some had fresh Pastas and we also had incredible soup with Parmesan Rind and Black Pepper. My topper was the Affagato with house made Coffee Ice cream ! Tremendous!

I love this place. The kale crumb salad is so fresh and tasty with a citrusy dressing that is creamy yet light and that delightful cheesey toast crumble that rests on top. I typically go for the sunny cavatelli and lately have been ordering it without the sausage; but it's great with the sausage, too. Perfectly cooked al dente noodles. Nom nom nom. The cocktails are always yummy and interesting as are the bartenders. I only sit at the bar because I'm cool like that. Toodles!

Just had THE most amazing meal at this Italian restaurant at NODA (formerly Crepe Cellar)... We arrived super-early, at 5 pm, and there was already a line at the door! Somehow, I expected this. In any case, I was able to get seated within 2 minutes...Whew! The place has a warm, rustic vibe...somewhat quaint, but some polished touches. The acoustics is really bad though...I couldn't even tell what music they were playing (all very fuzzy). My husband and I also agreed that their chairs weren't very comfy...no cushion. The bar service was really slow as well...surprisingly slow. Now, the main reason we were here...their foods! Their menu wasn't too extensive, but very appealing and somewhat innovative, with many tantalizing options. They also had more progressive things like the Burrata, which I've been dying to have! Anyway, we started with the Burrata (with Focaccia Bread), which came with Marmalade sauce as well...and we LOVED it! For our entrees, I had the Calabrian Chili Pappardelle and my husband had the Spaghettini alla Nerano...with a side of Cheese "Cloud". We LOVED this too! Then we finished off with their Tiramisù Trifle. Again, we both LOVED this!! Truly, each and every item was heavenly. Honestly, I can't even decide which item I loved more?? I guess the items I'd suggest more than the other are the Burrata and the Tiramisu Trifle...both were SO delish...and uniquely presented. Definitely a Must-Try! We both agreed that their chef-inspired foods were EXCELLENT. Not only did I appreciate the pure deliciousness, but the nice presentation (they even use edible flowers!). BRAVO!!! Even the drinks were stellar. I tried their Limoncello...and loved that too! Beautifully presented as well. BTW, our waiter was really friendly and attentive...and served us well. So despite a few shortcomings (uncomfy seats and bad acoustics), this is a situation where the foods were so beyond amazing that I couldn't drop anything less than 5 stars. I can easily say that Ever Andalo is now one of my favorites, if not THE favorite Italian restaurants in town. LOVED!!!

You could truly never EVER go wrong with Ever Andalo. Everything was super fresh and the food literally looked like a piece of ART! Their bartenders were super attentive. The servers were extremely knowledgeable and just overall nice ppl. I will recommend this place over and OVER again!

This is such a quaint local spot in the NoDa neighborhood. Went to dinner here on a Saturday night, and we did have a reservation which was smart because it gets pretty busy. Our waiter was very friendly and accommodating, and the food came out in a timely manner. We started with the seared octopus (SO GOOD) and then we each got a pasta dish--the sunny cavatelli and the mushroom tortellini. Both were very good but I particularly enjoyed the tortellini--my only wish is that the portion was bigger :D The chianti I ordered paired so nicely with it. For dessert I tried the affogato (shot of espresso with a scoop of ice cream) and once I mixed it together it was pretty good. This is a great spot for small groups or to go on a date!

Just went to this spot last night, but it was easily one of the best meals I've had. I recommend getting there early as there was a line at 4:50 and they opened at 5. I'd also recommend reservations. I sat at the bar so it wasn't a problem for me, but it is not a large space so tables can go fast. Their wine list is impressive. I decided to go with a northern Italian merlot that was much lighter than I expected, but in a good way. I then ordered their Bucatini all'Amatriciana. Iy was perfect, full of flavor with a hit of heat. Really well done! I paired it with a Abbazia di Novacella wine from northern Italy and it was perfect! The bartenders were super friendly and knowledgable. Really made me want to come back and I plan to!

The vibes were artsy upscale inside. Our service was not as ideal as they made the bartender our server. As you can imagine, getting our meals and additional items we needed was slower. The food itself was pretty good. Enjoyed our pasta dish and focaccia bread. We would definitely go back.

Called in my order for the lobster gemilli special with focaccia. The noda area is super tight on parking but there is a small lot behind the restaurant where you can pay according to how much time you need. The pasta was simply amazing, melt in your mouth good and perfectly paired with the focaccia....superb!

The service, the drinks, the food and the ambiance were amazing! The presentation of the food is very consistent with the best pictures you'll see here. My girls and I went for dinner and it was the best decision ever. The menu was robust and inclusive. It fit all of our dietary restrictions.

We've been for both dinner and brunch and both the atmosphere, service and food have been AMAZING! Highly recommend sharing a variety of brunch dishes and you truly can't go wrong. For dinner, everything has been delicious and even better with the cheese cloud...just trust me! Perfect date spot or girls night spot!

Best pasta in Charlotte. The portion was good as well. Would also recommend Burrata as the appetizer - the orange sauce gave it a unique taste and the bread was great. The server was patient with all of our questions and filled the water frequently (it is important!). It's a gem in NoDa. Note that there is only free street parking and a few paid parking lot around. Reservations are highly recommended if you need a table (vs bar seating) - there is $2 pp fee for weekday reservations and $3 pp for weekends (cannot be applied to final check). However still worth it!

Wow! What a meal. First off, you walk in and this place is the absolute cutest. It's pretty small so make a reservation way in advance or we got there at 5 on a Friday and we're able to get a seat. This meal was incredible from the olive oil flight to the cheese cloud.

I had been wanting to try ever andalo for a while so when a friend invited me of course I said yes! We had a reservation, which it seems like you definitely need here! The inside is really nicely decorated, although a bit crammed as the seating area isn't huge. There's also a nice bar with seating there too. We were sat along the side that has a long shared bench and the tables were way too close together, the server's butt who was helping the table next to us was basically touching our food when she was taking their order- that was really a turnoff, but luckily we were basically done our meal. Other than that, the food was really good! We got a few apps to start, all of which were delicious and a decent size. I got the Calabrian chili pasta, it looked amazing but was slightly underwhelming. I thought the pasta was a bit over cooked. I would come back and try the sausage pasta next time. Def get the salad and either the focaccia or the Burrata to start!

Nestled in a comfortable atmosphere that used to house Crepe Cellar, the owners have now launched a great Italian concept. Friendly service and neighborhood feel. I've been twice and both times I'd give five stars to every appetizer I've gotten. In fact next time I go I'll probably just eat small plates style, enjoying a variety of the apps. The entrees are a little less consistent than the apps, particularly the pasta dishes. The pasta itself has been nicely executed but the flavor profiles of pastas I've found to be a little bland. I've gone with two groups of people on my two visits and this seems to be a consistent theme of feedback. But no worries, this is still one of my favorite newish places in town and I'm excited to return soon. :) The bread options are amazing. It is worth going just for the artichoke appetizer. It's delicately fried with delicious flavor. Yummm.

Most authentic Italian meal we've had since Italy! Every year we pick an Italian restaurant to celebrate our anniversary and reminisce over our Tuscan honeymoon. We'll be celebrating at Ever Andalo every year from now on. And I'm obsessed with the wallpaper and exposed brick. The decor made me very happy.

My fiance took me here for a birthday dinner and it might be some of the best food we've had in Charlotte. Everything was insanely amazing!!!! I am still dreaming about these oysters!!! The pasta is homemade every day. I can see why the waitlist is always long for this place - it was absolutely amazing. Definitely check out!!!

Unfortunately, one of the most disappointing meals I've ever had. Not worth the price point at all. To my credit, I've lived in major culinary cities and am Italian. I know good food and im fine paying a high price point when it's worth it, but this meal was not. Let's start with the good. Our server was incredible, and I'm sorry I forgot her name. The eggplant rolatini was cooked perfectly. The oysters were the best I've ever had, from New Brunswick, CA. The fried artichoke was also a hit. The sunny cavatelle was cooked perfectly Al dente but the meat in it had no flavor. The tiramisu trifle was heavenly. Think tiramisu meets dulce de leche. Now to the bad. The short rib just tasted like pot roast, nothing special and with barely any sauce that had no reduction. The pappardelle was over cooked and mushy and had no flavor, despite being in a meat sauce. Our lamb chops were served undercooked, and we waited 20 minutes for them to be recooked. We weren't offered anything in the meantime while my mom waited without her main dish. I was shocked when we received the bill and not even a dessert was comped for the inconvenience and wait. This was a $315 meal plus tip, and I don't think it was worth over $200. A meal of this price, everything should be exceptional and it fell so short. Very disappointing. We'd been looking forward to coming here for quite some time and won't be back. One of our party also got violently ill after dinner, so something he ate gave him food poisoning.

The food at this restaurant was amazing! All of it had great flavor and the prices were very fair. The service was great with friendly staff but the food took a little bit of time. The restaurant had a great ambiance and didn't feel overly fancy or too casual. Would definitely come eat here again!!

A++++++ Went here for a girls night out and was blown away with absolutely everything. My mouth is drooling for that amazing martini. I need it again. Every single thing was A+++. Take uber or better yet have family member drop you off so that you can enjoy a cocktail. We shared several apps and also all had entrees, it was all fantastic. I can still taste it all.

I struggled with this review. There is so much to like about this relatively new Italian restaurant located in NODA. Oh my, the Focaccia! This golden pillow of heaven arrived at our table along with three unique olive oils for dipping. The freshly-made loaf steamed as we cut slices from it. Perfectly baked, it was wonderful. I'm tempted to give this place five stars for the bread course alone. Be sure to order this. Maybe two! My wife and daughter's pasta courses were a highlight. House-made, served al dente and properly combined with the sauce. The Calabrian Chili Pappardelle had a great spicy kick that wasn't overpowering. We had our desserts to go (more on that follows). The Orange Olive Oil Cake was delicious . My impression: take the incredible focaccia and add orange and sweet cream. So yeah, we basically loved the bread for starters AND dessert. The service staff was attentive throughout our meal. Unfortunately though, we had a couple drawbacks with our meal. I was so looking forward to lamb chops. The waiter informed me that they are prepared medium-rare and I remember replying "yes, of course!". However, when the entrees arrived my poor lamb was thoroughly overdone. The manager happened to see my expression, came to the table and immediately agreed to prepare a new plate. So I sat, and waited, while my family ate their pasta courses. When my new dish arrived my wife and daughter had nearly finished their's. The timing of our meal was thrown, we had planned for desserts but once I had eaten my dinner course the others were ready to go. Hence the to-go order. The Roasted Oysters I had as an appetizer were delicious but most of the half-dozen were quite small. I love oysters, so it was almost unfair to have the order disappear so quickly. And finally, a word on the ambiance. In my view, the restaurant has little. Perhaps it's my own fault, but I expected more...something....from a restaurant that has been recently selected as one of the top new in the country. But it's not fine dining, not traditional, not modern, or...much of any decor I can describe. Maybe "neighborhood trattoria ". It is fairly small and crowded, and we had a running joke about one vocal waiter and his ongoing schtick regarding the braised rib. So yes, maybe I'm being overly critical but I came away from what is clearly a very good restaurant feeling somewhat let down. But I won't forget the focaccia!

I am in no way exaggerating when I say I think Ever Andalo is Charlotte's best new restaurant. It was on another level of incredible - my friend who I had dinner said it was so good it was almost "'messed up" The ambiance is perfect - beautiful like it's sister restaurant, Supperland, but very approachable at the same time. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable - our waiter (Max I believe?) was so welcoming and provided great recommendations for both drinks (we loved our martinis and wine!) and food. Perfect, perfect vibe in this place. Food-wise, I would literally give our meal a 100 out of 100. It was perfection. Taste, presentation and creativity were all there with every single dish. We started with the kale crumb salad and the Burrata with grilled focaccia. Both were very generous portions (because it's more upscale I was worried we would be getting smaller plates, but we were NOT disappointed!). The salad was full of texture and flavor (I didn't even know I could like anchovies until I had them in this dish, and the crumbs on top + the little cheesy breadstick put it over the top). The house-made Burrata was killer - it came over an orange marmalade and had so much yummy, crusty/chewy foccacia on the side (plenty to save for dipping in our later dishes!). Then we tried the Sunny Cavatelli pasta (which almost reminded me of a fresh gnocchi and had the most wonderfully complex flavor from the sausage, broccolini, vodka-like sun dried tomato sauce and fresh Parmesan) and the eggplant rollatini (which came in a little crock with red sauce like meatballs and was stuffed with house-made ricotta cheese - MAN that was absurdly good). We had to try the olive oil cake for dessert (I had seen pictures of it on Instagram/Axios Charlotte and knew I couldn't miss out on it) - and it may have been the most delicious thing we tasted all night. The cake is moist and somehow dense + light at the same time, and it comes on top of a velvety lemon anglaise drizzled with BASIL OIL (I mean what) and topped with fresh whipped ricotta. It was out of this world. I already can't wait to come back to this NoDa gem. Thank you for the most memorable dinner experience, Ever Andalo!

What a delightful surprise especially in Charlotte. Legitimately good food, lovely atmosphere, solid service, diverse crowd. We ordered nearly everything on the menu and the only miss was the out of season porchetta with fried fruits. Try the non alcoholic mixed drinks. All exceptional.

I am reviewing for the 2nd time, as I recently had the pleasure of FINALLY dining in. The experience of Ever Andalo is simply incomparable and in a league of its very own. They have absolutely figured out how to bring a sense of family & warmth to elegant fine dining. I can now say with confidence that this is my favorite Italian restaurant of all time, anywhere. Nope, I'm not limiting this to Charlotte or the Carolinas - literally anywhere I've been. On my actual birthday, we ordered takeout here. This past Saturday, my husband took me out to officially celebrate. SERVICE - beyond phenomenal. Each and every person we encountered was so kind and so attentive. THE KITCHEN - please, please, please send my compliments! Words that escaped our mouths in between bites were "blown away," "absolutely amazing," "the best I've ever had," alongside your standard "mmmm" and the approving slow headnod with closed eyes. OUR CHOICES - Octopus - I knew if I ordered this, I'd be eating it alone. My husband has a shellfish allergy, which has made him very paranoid over other creatures of the sea. I've also never had octopus that wasn't hiding the fact that it was an octopus. I went bold and ordered it, knowing it would be a regret of mine had I not. THIS WAS MY FAVORITE THING!!! I kid you not - I've thought about this dish a couple of times a day ever since. Wow! We had the chef's special - black garlic mozzarella with grilled focaccia. It was very delicious and certainly something I'd like to see on the menu again and again! SUNNY CAVATELLI - Wowza (I'm running out of descriptions here, folks...at this point we're backing into onomatopoeia territory) CHICKEN PICCATA - MMMMMMMM TIRAMISU TRIFLE - AHHHHHHHHH I could hear couples and groups at neighboring tables ooohhhing and ahhhing themselves. I just know every single person that night was in the same blissful state. It was an absolute experience to be had! Thank you to everyone from front to back of house. You made it the most special night, and we will absolutely be coming back!

Italian dining done right. Since the place itself, decoration and staff to the food, this place is perfect. Everything was fresh and seemed home made. This is not your typical Italian place where dishes are way too big and pasta is always overcooked. Everything is cooked to perfection and portions are just the right size. Service was great, desert recommendations were on point! DO try the tiramisu, one of a kind!

What an amazing experience. We were able to get a table without a reservation, we did go right when they opened. The servers were fantastic and really knew the menu, and had great suggestions. The meal was fantastic from top to bottom. We tried a little bit of everything and I still wanted more! My only call out is the room is tight, it's hard to move around and it gets pretty loud in there. I absolutely LOVED the dessert, it was light and decadent. I can't wait to go back!

Ever Andalo is a small Italian style restaurant located in Noda. We had a group of 5 people, I think a bigger group would be too many. The restaurant is small and very loud. Parking is impossible - I highly recommend you uber or plan on paying for parking. The light rail is around the corner so that is also an option. Our service was fine, but not great. The focaccia and ricotta is to-die for. That appetizer was my favorite item. As for the pasta...there is better pasta located in town. The beets were fine, the grilled octopus was very dry. The short rib is huge and very flavorful, it is enough for 2-3 people. We never received bread for the olive oil (despite asking), so I never had a chance to try that. Overall it was a very average experience, I'm not sure it would be my first choice for eating out. Service could have been better.

Tonight was our first visit to Ever Ándalo and we had an amazing experience. It's a quaint intimate restaurant in NoDA and with Nick's welcoming and informative demeanor we were able to make great decisions on what to eat. He was friendly and patient, didn't rush us, refilled our waters right before we finished our cups each time. He definitely played a huge part in our experience. The food was amazing. Everything we tried was cooked perfectly, seasoned, and we truly enjoyed it all. As far as the dessert goes, if you like tiramisu/coffee DEFINITELY try the Tiramisu Trifle. It was heavenly and not too sweet.

My sister, mother, and I went to Ever Andalo for the first time and it did not disappoint. We got two Calabrian chili pappardelle to share, along with the broccolini and bread with the 3 olive oil tastings and finished our meal off with the olive oil cake. The pappardelle was extremely good, especially with their chili oil (must request if you like spice). Sauce was perfectly seasoned and noodles were perfectly cooked. The broccolini seemed to be my mother's favorite. Perfectly seasoned as well. The olive oil tasting was a unique experience and would highly recommend. Their bread is immaculate! Lastly, the olive Oil cake was presented beautifully. I wish there was a little more olive oil flavored to the cake but overall very moist and delicious. The ambience is beautiful and elegant. The service was amazing. I forget our server's name but he was very attentive and patient with us. The manager (maybe owner) was absolutely fabulous. He was extremely respectful and kind. We had a slight issue with our broccolini and they fixed it immediately and the manager came to us several times to make sure we were still doing well. Although this restaurant is a bit pricey, I think it was an amazing experience.

High quality Italian food is being served up over at Ever Andalo located in the Noda area. We were completely blown away . The ambiance and decor are astounding; warm and modern. Ever Andalo is a small intimate setting so perfect for date night vibes . Some of my favorite dishes I tried here that really stood out was the grilled octopus it was the elements of presentation and texture for me and really wowed us. Also the Burrata I could go on and on about . The orange salt & orange marmalade elevated this burrata to almost some of the best burrata I have tried due to this factor. Umm it's safe to say I'm coming back here for my favorites alone .

WARNING: I am really conflicted about this review. This is the new version of Crepe Cellar, which is/was our favorite restaurant in Charlotte. So I was reluctant to come here, as I know it was not going to be the same experience. So now that I set the stage, let's begin. My wife and I sat down and the vibe had changed. It was brighter and a little more polished than the previous place. That was fine and the restaurant still had the overall same ambiance. The waitress was sweet but we waited quite a while for someone to come take our drink order. I mean it was probably like 10-15 minutes. Which isn't all that terrible, but it was a quiet Wednesday night. I think this all had an impact on my experience. Not negatively, just made me miss the old place even more. Then we looked at the menu. I'm not sure if we were just not feeling anything on the menu, things sounded really amazing, but I think we were grieving the loss of our old favorite spot. The only thing that was left on the menu was the burrata. It was slightly changed, but we loved that appetizer so much that we had to order it. My wife ordered the South of Pisa cocktail and I ordered the margarita. We choose to only do drinks and an appetizer as we just didn't want anything else. The burrata appetizer was quite simply, magnificent. The way they warm the bread but charred the ends. Dang, it was just so good. Then the burrata had a nice citrus tang to it and it complimented the bread perfectly. Then the drinks. My wife's was super refreshing and it felt as it is was made to be sipping on while outside in the south of Pisa. Next up, my margarita as was unbelievably good! I make a mean margarita at home and restaurant versions always fall short. This one?! Well it went and one upped my homemade version by adding a touch of spicy to it. It was one of the best margaritas I have ever had. So based on the unique experience we had, it was definitely a 5 star affair! We will be back and we will get some main courses, so this review might be updated in the future. These restaurant owners know their stuff, so I am sure the pasta course are incredible. We always had amazing meals here and we have high expectations for future visits!

Spectacular. Creative. Delicious. We couldn't get in in the Saturday evening we wanted, so went for "brunch," which we had at 2:30 pm. Wagyu steak and eggs. Beautiful. Perfect. Homemade focaccia and burrata with a really interesting marmalade. The BEST polenta I've ever had. (I had no idea you could do that.) The first original cocktail I have had since my first cocktail in the previous century -- a Bloody Mary -- with some special extra that I couldn't identify. Even the tiny garnish was memorable. Great service. As a west coast transplant used to an abundance of excellent restaurants, I was despairing of finding something really good in Charlotte. Mission accomplished.

Had dinner tonight at Ever Andalo. Started our dining experience with the focciao bread coupled with the olive oil flight. The flight offered three oil pairings. So good and definitely something you must try! I ordered the Spaghettini LaLa Nerano entree. The zucchini was cooked to perfection and there was the great blend of sauce and cheese. My date ordered the Chicken Piccata. Good flavor and a huge entree. The service staff was very friendly and attentive. And the ambiance is quaint. The menu is a little pricey. I didn't like that the chicken entree is literally just chicken. No pasta or vegetable offering. We ordered butter noodles to pair with the chicken. And not to mention, there was an $8 charge for the side. With that said, it was a nice dining experience.

Fantastic service and food, SO glad we visited! Everything was delicious. Highly recommend.
