Rotisserie chicken, pizzas, baked pastas, and inventive dishes
"Rosticceria Evelina is the younger sister to Evelina, an Italian restaurant in Fort Greene, but the specialty here is chicken, not pasta. Specifically, a beautiful bird that's spun around on a rotisserie spit before landing on a plate of crispy yukon gold potatoes and carrots. You should also get one pizza and the slaw-like brussels sprouts and kale salad. Big groups can spread out in the covered garden out back, but there's a bar up front and a handful of tables in the main dining room, too. It’s bright, and less cozy and romantic-feeling than Evelina, so bring someone you don’t mind seeing in HD." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, tiffany yannetta, neha talreja
"If you’ve ever been to Evelina in Fort Greene and thought to yourself: “Gee, I wish this place served rotisserie chicken,” your hypothetical inner monologue is in luck. Now, there’s Rosticceria Evelina. The pasta-heavy menu from the original spot has been swapped out for one that skews way more roasted and baked, and includes a handful of excellent, doughy pizzas. But the real reason you’re coming here is for that juicy bird served on a plate of crispy yukon gold potatoes. Order that, plus at least one pie and the jamon iberico croquettes, and see what other restaurants you can will into existence." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore, Neha Talreja, Sonal Shah, Tiffany Yannetta
"An expansion from Fort Greene staple Evelina offering dishes such as cuttlefish tagliatelle, Iberico ham croquettes with tomato jam, spinach lasagna with mushroom ragu, pizzas, and lamb shoulder with artichokes." - Emma Orlow
"Rosticceria Evelina is from the same people behind Evelina, a neighborhood Mediterranean spot in Fort Greene. The new location is in Clinton Hill, and if we lived nearby, we'd be pretty excited about the full rotisserie menu, with several pizzas and pastas, and dishes like roasted chicken with yukon gold potatoes and honey-roasted carrots." - Will Hartman, Willa Moore
"You go to Evelina, an Italian spot in Fort Greene, for the neighborhood vibes and pasta. And you go to Rosticceria Evelina, their newer sister restaurant in Clinton Hill, for the neighborhood vibes and chicken. Specifically, a beautiful bird that spun around on a rotisserie spit before landing on a plate of crispy yukon gold potatoes and carrots. Other things that make a great prelude to that chicken: at least one pizza, the slaw-like brussel sprouts and kale salad, and the jamon Iberico croquettes. Big groups can spread out in the covered garden out back, but the bar up front and handful of tables in the main dining room are equally great spots to sit. It’s bright, and less cozy and romantic-feeling than Evelina, so bring someone you don’t mind seeing in HD." - Tiffany Yannetta
