EVO Old Town Scottsdale

A perfect dinner for our last night in Scottsdale. Dark, a little moody & delicious food. Sonny B was our server and he was great! Attentive and offered ideas, and kept our waters full & our wine glasses. He let us know of the special which was if you order a bottle you get the meatballs free! Say Less! The meatballs are AMAZING. Def. worth ordering even if they don't come with your wine :) A great wine list, full of options, regions & price points. Something for everyone. I ordered the Bolognese: Pappardelle | Beef/Pork/Veal Ragu | Ricotta | Parmesan | Basil. - Their pappardelle noodles were perfectly cooked and I was a happy girl! We sat at a lovely round table that fit our group of girls and it was a perfect cozy end to our trip. Cin! Cin!

Authentic Italian Vibes Only 🇮🇹✨ Hands down one of the best Italian spots I’ve been to! The vibe is immaculate — classy chandeliers, cozy booths, and that perfect “feed me pasta & tell me I’m pretty” energy. We started with the whipped feta, which was absolutely insane — creamy, flavorful, and addictive. Our mains were lasagna and shrimp & lobster tortellini, both perfectly seasoned and came out fast and fresh. The staff were total dolls — super sweet and on top of everything! And let’s talk about dessert… the tiramisu legit transported me straight back to Italy. Light, fluffy, and a perfect end to the night 😍☕️ If you’re looking for an authentic Italian restaurant with killer food, beautiful vibes, and amazing service — EVO is the spot. Highly recommend for date night, girls’ night, or literally any reason to eat pasta 💃🍷

Amazing food! Maybe the best octopus I’ve ever had, and I love octopus. We had the grilled octopus, the short rib pasta, the fennel and sausage pasta, and a dessert that I cant remember the name of, but it was delicious!! Highly recommend.

We stopped in for drinks after dinner, but I wish we had saved room because the food and dessert menu looked amazing. My friend enjoyed her beer, I enjoyed my wine, and I appreciate that they offer very reasonable by-the-glass prices. Our server Vin was fantastic — friendly, efficient, and made the experience even better. Can’t wait to come back and try the food next time!

Food was above average. Ambiance was nice. Service did not go well. From when we walked in the door to when we left. Hostess didnt say anything to us, like who our server would be after seating us at the first table when you walk in so you feel the draft everytime the door opens. Server was slow, after we finished eating we wanted to get dessert to go and she took her sweet time getting our order. Watched her walk past us twice and chat it up with her coworker as im sitting there waiting for close to 10-15 minutes. I wanted the buttercake but it said to allow 30 minutes for it to cook. We had already been there since 5:30 didnt leave until 7:15. Why would i wait another half hour. We couldve freed your table up close to 30 minutes faster if you werent doing everything else. Including yapping with your coworker. Im not expecting Fat Ox level of service but for $120 for 2 people + tip, you need to be more efficient and considerate of your tables. I wanted to tip 20% so bad but being in the service industry for 10 years now perhaps my expectations were too high. No clue what her name was but the shaved head server obviously knows what she’s doing, she prebussed and checked on us in the middle of all of this Fogo was better for half the price 💯

From walking in and seeing how amazing it is presented inside, was matched by the level of service and quality of food given. Best ravioli I have ever had and the waiter gave the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Will always come back here for more!

Jemar is over the moon phenomenal. It was date night for my boyfriend and I and Jemar made it feel so special. His suggestions for every step of the way made it feel personal and attentive. From the drinks to the dessert we felt seen, even when he was dealing with multiple tables. We will come back for the food but ESPECIALLY to see Jemar.

I had such a wonderful experience at EVO recently. The service was warm and attentive, and the atmosphere made for a really enjoyable meal. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented—it’s clear how much care goes into the menu and the overall dining experience. One small note: I really miss the poblano rigatoni that used to be on the menu. It was one of my absolute favorites and such a unique, memorable dish. I completely understand menus evolve, but if there’s ever a chance of bringing it back, even as a seasonal special, I’d be thrilled. EVO remains one of my top dining spots in town, and I’ll definitely be back soon!

We went back to EVO for a late dinner being that we had a busy day & we know that they're open late! We made reservations for a booth which is limited, we were pleasantly greeted by the hostesses with a booth waiting for us! Our server Corey greeted us, no rushing us even though they were very busy going on 9 pm Saturday evening... he even brought us a couple of samples of wine to help us choose which bottle to go with! The restaurant was very lively being that there's also a lounge area on the other side but they do have a divider wall! This time we chose a couple of different appetizers to start, the whipped feta & fried calamari with very large shrimp plus veggies.... both were delicious as we expected them to be! I went with the Shrimp Alfredo... no complaints house made pasta was made well & cooked perfectly! My husband had the chicken piccata, he was very happy that EVO did it right & made the skin crisp with the wing still attached... so happy with his choice! We finished our dinner with a piece of their tiramisu which is always a nice light ending! EVO has never disappointed us, we've always had a different server every time & each time we get the same great service! EVO is a great little restaurant in Old Town Scottsdale that has a great menu with delicious freshly made food & attentive service from all!

Walked in before 5 & immediately sat after we were told they would need our table before 7pm ( I found that to be a bit rude) . I ordered the Caesar salad ... it was fine. Ordered the black muscles in a tasty wine reduction... the muscles were ok, the sauce was very good. The short rib raggu presentation was great but it lacked flavor.. very tender but there wasn't much short rib. The Lasagna looked small but it was very filling & very tasty ( there was parchment paper on the plate I was served? I don't get it) ... The pizza was good. I ordered the special @ $55. A person for myself that includes an appetizer, entrée & dessert... I had the Tiramisu... it was bland & very soggy ( it can be shared because it's pretty big) . I can't say I enjoyed it. The restaurant is decorated well , very dim lighting. The bathroom was ok but smelled bad & needs updating.

Grabbed dinner with my friend and we were pretty impressed! We shared the pepperoni pizza with hot honey, and the whipped feta! Both dishes were delicious! We sat in the bar area and the bartender was very attentive. He made sure our meal was just as we wanted and was a great conversation! The ambience is really beautiful. This would be a great date night or celebration spot!

Birthday celebration. A great night with great people. Had a reservation for 7 and most of the party arrived early. I explained we were waiting for someone that would be late and they said not a problem. They seated us early which was a surprise. They were getting crowded. The waitress Charlie was extremely nice and patient. Took our drink orders and checked on us frequently until everyone arrived. Gave us time to look over the menu, and took our orders. The food was amazing. The only hiccup was we ordered lobster with the steak which didn't come out. Charlie checked on it and said they were working on it. After about 30 minutes it never came which was a disappointment but we were able to cancel it. Charlie and several patrons all sang happy birthday and overall it was a great meal and great company. Definitely will recommend you give it a try.

Evo in Old Town Scottsdale was so good. I had the fennel sausage pasta, shoutout to Yelp for calling it out as a top dish because it absolutely delivered. Full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and honestly one of the best pasta dishes I've had in a while. The vibe is stylish but still comfortable, definitely a bit on the fancier side, but not over the top. It was busy and loud (in a fun way), and even with our big group, the service was fantastic. Everything came out on time, servers were super attentive, and we felt well taken care of the whole night. If you're in Scottsdale and looking for a great dinner spot with energy, great food, and solid service, Evo should be on your list.

A fun destination for a dinner out with friends! I was in town on a business trip with colleagues, and we all enjoyed EVO. I had chicken Parmesan for dinner. The six of us also shared several desserts, including cheesecake, tiramisu and Zeppolinis -- a giant pile of bite-sized fried dough, sprinkled with powdered sugar and served alongside three dipping sauces. This dessert was huge, and we finished maybe half of it. It was fun to explore different parts of the menu and we enjoyed the ambiance, including the fun decor. Overall, it was a good choice for a group outing.

This was a beautiful place for date night or to celebrate any special occasion. The mood lighting wasn't too dark and the atmosphere was chill but everyone was enjoying the meal and company. Our server Corey was simply amazing! He was attentive and polite and when my food wasn't quite right he was quick to act and correct it. All of the food was delicious and packed with flavor. There were two stars of the show the EVO salad and the brown butter cake. The salad has roasted Brussels, crispy pancetta, and fried kale!!! Oh my goodness the kale was amazing! Then with the balsamic reduction dressing was the cherry on top! For the brown butter cake it does take 30 mins for them to make it so make sure you order ahead! It was a piece of heaven! The caramelized outside was almost like toffee but then the moist cake was the perfect balance. Add ice cream and fresh berries and this is the most incredible end to a meal.

F*cking fantastic food. 2nd time trying takeout was amazing yet again. Cannot wait to dine in, this place has become an absolute staple post leg day. Well done Evo Old Town!

If you're looking for authentic Italian food in Old Town, Evo Italian is the place. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm, cozy, and genuinely welcoming. We started with the focaccia app and it was AMAZING. -- for the main. I had a vodka pasta with chicken. The pasta tasted homemade, and the vodka sauce was phenomenal. Our server was attentive without being overbearing and gave great recommendations. Can't wait to come back!

There is nothing greater than the whipped feta. The combination of honey, herbs and creaminess was 10/10. Paired with the apples and bread it was delicious. It's on the sweeter side so if you like a rich whipped feta this is the perfect dish. The pizza was yummy and service was excellent.

Grabbed some late night bites and everything was great. Really good old fashioned and their spicy pizza was really delicious. Big fan of the pizza dough, has a nice bite and crispy to it, but still a little chew, which I really like.

Dream about coming to this place and only wishing there was one closer--Cozy romantic but family friendly ambiance all about pasta and Italian! Tried the charred octopus which had a little bite to it, a burrata salad--fresh and tasty and the chicken parm- the star of the show. Served with a side of gnocchi, a unique twist instead of your usually side of pasta! With a nice thick, chocolate cake to go, this is my dream dinner. Will definitely make sure to save a seat for EVO on all my trips to Scotsdale.

Great service staff at EVO accommodating our large production crew. They even offer Peroni 0.0 and their flourless chocolate torte is spot on!

My boyfriend and I just left and i immediately had to write a review. First thing Rob was our server and was fantastic. He made great recommendations and we never had to ask for a thing. Now the food ? AMAZING. You can't leave this place without trying the whipped feta appetizer. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm which was cooked perfectly and I ordered the chicken Alfredo which was also made amazingly. Best alfredo I've had in a long time! We were so full by the end of it but Rob said we couldn't leave without trying the Budino dessert and he was right it was the perfect way to end our dinner. Very light on the stomach. Also forgot to mention the mocktails were great!! Highly recommend this place for a date night. They have a nice vibe not too fancy, I'd describe it as an upscale restaurant. Thank you for a great experience Rob !

Three of us popped in for dinner on a Friday night and were seated immediately. It's your typical, trendy night spot filled with the chatter of patrons. We ordered the charred octopus, Calabrian & Prosciutto pizza, and lobster gnocchi. The octopus and pizza were delicious; absolute must try dishes. I will likely be dreaming of the pizza at some point. We'll definitely be back!

The atmosphere was amazing and really set the tone for our meal. The Chicken Piccotto was a 10/10 -- absolutely delicious. The Chili Shrimp Pasta, however, fell a bit flat; while the shrimp itself was very good, the sauce lacked flavor and mostly just tasted like butter. For dessert, the Butter Cake was delicious overall, though some parts were a little over-baked. Despite those small setbacks, we definitely plan on coming back and giving it another try!

Came here a few times. My favorite is the brussel sprouts salad. Tried the pastas, pizza but my all time favorite is the salad. They have a great happy hour, Mountain View, and awesome music. Service is always great.

Arrived here pretty late on Saturday night for a super late night bite and drink. There was like 10mins left to order before the kitchen closed. It was kinda busy inside though but more on the bar side of the restaurant. Our order: Margherita Pizza Fennel Sausage Pasta (I think?) Old Fashioned Can't remember the other two drink names My drink was good and refreshing I think? Lol weekend was a blur. Old fashioned is too strong for me and I can't remember if I liked the tall drink or not. The pizza and pasta were pretty good. I would order those again! I want to come back and try some of their other pastas next time. Great service even for a late night!

EVO is one of those spots you can always count on for a great casual Italian meal. The food is consistently solid, with generous portions that definitely hit the spot. Whether you're in the mood for pasta, pizza, or something a little more unique, they always deliver. It can get a little loud, especially when it's busy, so just a heads-up if you're looking for a super quiet dinner. But the energy is part of the charm -- it's lively, cozy, and always buzzing. They also do custom menus for birthdays and special occasions, which is such a nice touch and makes planning a celebration really easy. Definitely a go-to spot when you want something low-key but still delicious and reliable.

We had a great time at EVO. We were very skeptical of Italian food (being from NJ) but it did not disappoint! Our server was very attentive and made great recommendations. I love that they are a scratch made kitchen, so everything could be modified if needed. Pasta was perfectly Al dente. The inside was dim lighting that could be a great vibe for date night or just a friends/family night out! Music not too loud and the drinks were delicious. We will definitely be back once we are back in AZ. Only thing I thought was weird is that they did not have vodka sauce as an option. I feel like I find that everywhere. But that did not ruin our experience at all.

After a great Quarterly Business review today, it was time to get some drinks, relax and enjoy some food! The place selected by vote was Evo. Service was great! Everyone I interacted with was friendly. We were greeted immediately and brought to our table. We had drinks in hand within minutes and appetizers ordered shortly after. We ordered a decent number of appetizers, but my fav was the Whipped Feta, it was amazing! For my entree I went with the Fennel Sausage pasta which I thought was great as well. I'm leaving full and satisfied for certain. On a scale of 1 - 10, I'd definitely go back for a second taste!

I am not sure where to begin!!! My girlfriend ordered a pizza .. I had one piece and still have indigestion 2 hours later.. I could not get a glass of wine and when I went to the restroom 2 scavenger men sitting at the bar ate my friend's pizza that was in box that she was going to take home!! The bartenders and Managers are looking obviously the other way! Shame on you !! No!!!! just because you are open late FU. Never going back. Good Luck to you

Amazing food and great service!!! We came here with a party of 14 for my friend's bachelorette. Kory and Toni were extremely amazing servers (not sure if I spelled their names correctly). We felt extremely welcomed with the warm hospitality that they gave us. We were recommended 3 appetizers to share so we got 3 of each to spread and share through out the table. Focaccia Rustica - This was absolutely SOOO delicious. I highly highly recommend getting this to share. The saltiness of the brie and sweetness from the honey was a perfect combo. Grilled Octopus - Grilled to perfection, and amazing texture. You can tell that the octopus is fresh. Evo salad - The crispy kale paired so well with the brussell sprouts. Absolutely a great salad to share. Scallops - I got scallops for my main dish and they were divine. Definitely fresh, and cooked very well since it had the perfect texture. The greens on top was a little salty for my taste but I just ate the scallops with less of it and it was tasty still. Their cocktails and wine was delicious as well. Overall, our experience and the food at EVO was very enjoyable and I can't wait to be back when I'm visiting Scottsdale!

Chicken Piccata was 11/10. Delicious. Spicy marg was also pristine. Excellent bartender. & They were blasting Slim Shady at the end of the night. I love this place

Great service and the food is amazing. The focaccia is to die for. Reservations would be recommended for the busier nights

I sat at the bar on my own. The staff weren't overly friendly but ok. The food was delicious. I had pasta Pomodoro with meatballs. The bread is insane. I could've just made a meal out of that with sauce. lol. Nice trendy ambiance great decor. Would go back.

Wow the pasta here is so freaking good! It was my first time here and I got the lobster tortellini and there was so much sauce it was very filling. This place gives me club vibes because it's dark and they play loud music. But the service is excellent and I love the music they play. It's kind of dressy and it gives me LA vibes. Lived there for 5 years and they have restaurants that looked like this place. I also did the check in offer for the .1 cent limoncello shot. Wasn't really a fan. But I also ordered the rosè and that was really delicious.

In from Boston and found this excellent restaurant. Happened to be restaurant week. My husband had the 3 course prix fare. Chicken Parmesan was outstanding. I had the chile shrimp which was delicious. Service so attentive and the atmosphere cozy and classy. Prices were very reasonable for quality and portions!

Really good but I fear shrink-flation hit. My lobster tortellini had maybe 3 small pieces of lobster on it and the plate was 70% sauce. It was good don't get me wrong but there could have been more lobster or more tortellini to offset the large amount of sauce given.

Made reservations for 9 for a Sunday night; we were seated pretty soon after we arrived. Off the bat, the place itself was pretty loud, I felt I had to shout at my friends most of the night to hear. Dim lighting, romantic ambience, dark leather seats but I can't say I enjoyed the smell. Let's get onto the food- My friend and I split three items by starting with the focaccia. I was pleasantly surprised; the creaminess from the cheese was perfectly complimented by the chewiness of the bread and sweetness of honey. The evo salad was next, I'm glad we split this bc I was getting a bit tired of the taste. It had a lot of fun textures and flavors but just got old quickly. For our main, we ordered the bolognese. The pasta was perfectly al dente with a nice and meaty sauce. We were celebrating two bachelorettes at this party and our server brought out two free desserts which was really sweet- fried donuts with three sauces and tiramisu. Also! Half off a bottle of wine on Sunday, so we took advantage of that as well. Overall, was pleasantly surprised at this dining experience- great food, top notch service, and reasonable pricing! Would come again!

Oh my gosh. This place was so delicious, we were sad that we couldn't finish our plates because the portions were so big. We actually shared three entrées between four of us and it was more than enough. The decor very cute and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We were on vacation and ate here our first day and seriously considered going back again, but decided we needed to give other places a try as well. We should've gone here twice.!

Always sexy. Always attentive. Best fries and pizza. Can't wait to be back, and most definitely recommend to anyone I know!

We tried EVO for the first time and really liked the food and service. We recommend trying them. Had the beef short rib and the Lobster and shrimp Tortellini. Both were delicious.

Pros: Locally sourced ingredients Friendly, knowledgeable staff Easy parking Large dining area Amazing meatballs and sauce EVO salad had a wonderful array of textures with crispy kale, tender brussels and pancetta Cons: A little pricey, but well worth it Pro tip: Check in on Yelp and you'll get a glass of Limoncello!

Sneakily making it into one of my top food spots in the Scottsdale area. Some top tier food/drinks/staff and reasonably priced. Would recommend having a reservation though. Otherwise, check it out :)

This spot is great for late night. The food is solid. I got the short rib ragu pasta. I usually expect ragu based pasta to be on the heavier/rich side, but this was more light and sweet. The pasta itself was great. Service was excellant. The atmosphere is extremely dark if you are dining in.

A girlfriend and I decided last minute to step out for NYE, with no reservation! We were able to snag a couple of seats at the bar, with an amazing bartender! They had a price fix menu for the evening but at the bar we weee able to order off of it a la carts which was perfect. OMG delicious meatballs and my espresso martini hit the spot. We didn't stay until the ball drop as we had another stop. The place has a great vibe, excellent service and great food. I'll definitely be back for a full dinner.

This place sucks except for the drinks. Like if you know how to cook and SEASON food this is NOT it. But if you have no taste and like crap food come here! This place is GROSS. I'm not even Italian and can cook better Italian. Ambiance is giving dive bar meets mid level restaurant. I've heard good things so I wanted to check it out... obviously a mistake on my end :( "Charred Octopus" more like overcooked, dry, disgusting octopus. Chicken Alfredo more like trash... Chile Shrimp, more like overcooked noodles and yuck. Also those noodles are not giving made in house... they're giving bagged egg noodles. Really disappointed I came here. Servers are good though!

I originally came to yelp to write about how great my experience has always been for the past 3 years and came across some nasty reviews. I used to work in the service industry for YEARS until I was finally tired of the entitled customers and the overall attitude of some people. In my days of serving the only time we asked people to move tables is if we were on a wait and they wouldn't leave (there are other people who are waiting to have an experience too, not just your group, BE MINDFUL. You might have felt rushed out BUT there was probably another group complaining about the wait time for a reserved table- what do you do then??). I've been going to this location for sometime now and as a bar regular I feel like there's so much more to these reviews. How was the manager supposed to know that your service wasn't great if you didn't bring it up to him DURING the time of your service? I can see both sides of the story but you're coming in on a Sunday night which is one of the busiest nights i've seen them in action all the weeks i've gone. I'm just confused because when I look around the restaurant it's not like the servers are lounging around, they're hustling to make their rent and get their bills paid. It's a privilege to be served and I feel like people forgot how grateful we should be to finally be able to sit in a restaurant again after the pandemic. People forget that these are human beings with emotions and feelings and an actual life outside of serving. I hope you get the service you deserve next time.

The restaurant itself was cute -- I liked the simple rustic interior and the dim lighting made for a good date night ambiance! Nothing completely blew me away, but it was enjoyable, portions were large and met the price point. The meatballs in the meatball appetizer plate were juicy and huge! Definitely good for sharing. The focaccia appetizer was also very big; if I were to go again, I wouldn't get this just for two people but maybe a larger group, as we didn't even make a dent in it. It was also more of a stuffed flatbread than traditional focaccia, but still a tasty option for a cheesy/carby appetizer (also a little on the sweeter side). I really enjoyed the lobster gnocchi entree. The lobster tail was big and tender (cooked very well), and the gnocchis were also large and doughy, which I like! Both the sauces on the lobster gnocchi and on the chile shrimp were good but not anything special -- in my opinion they both could've been a little thicker/creamier and had richer flavor (for instance, the chile shrimp could've had a bit of a kick added to it). Service was standard and food came out pretty quick. Our waiter expressed he was overly concerned we would fill up on focaccia and sent our entrees out very soon after. While I don't disagree that we didn't need the full focaccia, as mentioned above, it felt a little rushed. All in all this was a good meal and made for a fun night out! Would say this is probably more of a 4.5/5.

Amazing late night spot. One of the absolute best places for late night food. Full menu and the food is AMAZING. Josh and Derek are the best and of course we can't forget about Matt. Definitely recommend.

My wife and I had an hour of free time before our reservation elsewhere. We had a great greeting to be seated but sat in the bar area . Had 2 great drinks and the feta appetizer which was a great value . Would visit this place again

We had an enjoyable evening here a couple weeks back. We sat on the patio which was just okay. It's a patio that is right against a busy road and in the parking lot so take it for what it is. The service was outstanding. They have a very nice menu with some great options. We got the chicken Parmigiana which was well prepared. The chicken was tender the sauce was flavorful. The pasta is homemade. The fennel sausage was just okay. The pasta was again homemade and delicious. The fennel might have been just a little bit on the large side. I truly expected more flavor from this dish. I will definitely be back to try this restaurant again in the future.

Go sit at the bar and grab a drink and a dessert for a quick date! The atmosphere and service is great!

I got the chicken piccata, very good. I was expecting pasta but got mashed potatoes - should've looked at the menu better. Overall really good, a lot of flavor and very juicy. A little heavy so it's nice if you are looking for something filling. The chicken is very tender, it comes with a steak knife but the butter knife cuts it just fine. Very nice service, everyone is very nice and it's pretty inside.

While visiting old town, Phoenix on a vacation. I was introduced to Evo by a friend, where we went for dinner. It quickly became one of my favorite locations to dine at while in town. We arrived around 9pm and the place was jumping (that means everyone was having fun). The dining tables were filled, music was playing and drinks, were flowing. We happily got a table outside to enjoy the nice warm evening weather and clear skies. We had a few cocktails (sadly I don't remember the names). But they were so tasty and enjoyable drinks. We were introduced to a really amazing guy named Jamar. He was such an awesome employee, who is: friendly, attentive (to every detail) and made us feel welcomed. But he is also very passionate about what he does. He represents EVO to the highest level. I ordered the: Arancini (for appetizers), Alfredo and my friend ordered the: Prime Fillet. All were Sooo good. The filet was cooked to a perfect medium rare and the Alfredo was creamy and tasty. Most of the night we spent drinking and laughing about anything and everything. Thats the energy that EVO, gives off. You can come for dinner, Happy Hour etc. and you will enjoy yourself. We came back three different times during the week long stay in town. Everything we had (multiple meals and even more drinks) was delicious and filling. Worth every penny. We really Loved our meals at EVO and enjoyed the vibe this location gave me. I would highly recommend making a reservation though. Especially, if you plan on dining on a Friday or Saturday evening. This location is definitely on my return list and would love to come here every time I'm in town. This place gives off such great energy!

We went for New Years and they had a fixed menu so this might play into our review. The place was very festive and ready to celebrate. Our server was so sweet and accommodating. There were good options on each part of the menu. Here are some stand out dishes from our night - The EVO salad - GOSH DARN, this was so good!!! Probably the best kind of salad we had. Very complex and pleasant. The Tomahawk - So scrumptious! Perfectly cooked. The Feta dip - YUMMERS! The filet mignon - so smooth and decadent Some areas that could have improved was the tasting menu had massive portions so by the time you got to the main dish, we were pretty full. We were also thrown for a loop when we saw a fixed tipping charge for a large party yet there was only three of us. Granted, it was a fixed menu, New Years and a price per person instead of the usual way to order and pay by dish, HOWEVER, that seemed a bit much. Also, the mushroom pasta dish was misleading because the menu said wild mushrooms but it was clearly regular mushrooms. Not clear on the menu so that is misleading. Not the biggest deal yet wish that was more clear. Overall, the food was good but some of the courses chosen were not our favorite.

I'll start by saying the food was delicious! We had the EVO Meatballs, Steak Crescenza, and small Caesar salad. We sat at the bar and enjoyed the HH cocktails and the food. Unfortunately, a MAGA maggot and her friend sat down across the bar from us and began spewing their bigotry, racism, and hate unfettered by the staff. She appeared to be a regular as she had an insulated cup with the company insignia and the staff referred to her by name. She is the epitome of the moral decay of our current society and the complete depletion of anything resembling human decency. While I fully support her 1st amendment right, as abhorrent as those words may be, I will think twice about where I spend my time and money if I'm forced to listen to words that are so deeply offensive and hateful. Sadly, I will not be back.

I took my daughter for her birthday dinner and although the food is absolutely delicious, the service was really bad. There weren't many people dining , 4-5 tables from what I could see and upon being sat down we waited about 10 minutes to at least be acknowledged till I had to go ask the hostess to sit us somewhere that a server was available. She told me she'd send a different server to take care of us which finally one came to take our drink order and I ordered iced tea with lemons which getting the lemons seemed to be an ordeal because he forgot and nothing to sweeten my tea with either so I had to ask a different server to get me some and it still took like 15 minutes to get those. Our server seemed a bit spaced out and after brining our food he never came to check on us to see if we were pleased or needed anything else so again we had to waive him down so my daughter could ask for some fresh Parmesan for her pasta (something every other Italian place automatically offers when you get your food). All in all what was supposed to be a fun and nice dinner for my daughter, ended being one of constantly having to try to get our servers attention for something we didn't get which was SERVICE. Of all places to choose to spend my money being from out of town it's really sad such a good place had such awful service. The food is some of the best I've had and if they have take out, I highly recommend the food.
