“Went last night for St. Valentine’s day, I must confess I ended up here by mistake, my reservation was in another restaurant across the street, but for some unknown reason I came here and it was amazing, my only regret was not being here before… Food was beyond amazing, the lasagna is a MUST! I have never had something like that before, would love to go back again. I would think that on a busy day like this, service/food might not be the best, but they proved me wrong, staff was very nice,they didn’t take forever with our food, music was nice too. Can’t wait to go and try the brunch one of these days… PS: I tried the cucumber drink, which is alcohol free and it was also very good, the olive oil cake since the tiramisu had finished,it wasn’t bad but I bet they have better options for desserts.”
“We had such a wonderful experience dining here! From the moment we walked in, everyone made us feel genuinely welcomed and taken care of. Daniel was attentive and professional, making sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. Andres brought such a warm, positive energy that truly elevated our experience. Nicole was incredibly kind and thoughtful — you can tell she truly cares about the guests. It’s rare to find a team where everyone works together so seamlessly and treats you like more than just another table. The service was just as impressive as the food. They all deserve recognition for going above and beyond. We’ll absolutely be back — thank you for such a great night!”
“Rosticceria Evelina — cozy Italian comfort done right On a freezing night, Rosticceria Evelina felt like a warm hug. Intimate, softly lit, and effortlessly romantic—the kind of place where you slow down and let the food do the talking. We started strong with the Polipetti in Purgatorio—tender petit octopus swimming in a spicy, deeply savory tomato sauce al purgatorio, finished with fresh parsley and fett’unta for that rich olive-oil finish. Bold, comforting, and easily my favorite bite of the night. The Foraged Mushrooms were earthy and elegant, tossed with thyme and paired with a punchy black garlic aioli, then balanced by salty aged ricotta. Every forkful had layers—umami, creaminess, and herbaceous depth. The Sourdough Onion Focaccia came out warm and pillowy, topped with whipped ricotta, roasted tomatoes, and olives. Rustic, comforting, and dangerously easy to keep reaching for. For mains, the Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe was textbook—perfectly al dente pasta, glossy pecorino sauce, and just the right hit of cracked black pepper. Simple, balanced, and executed beautifully. The Burrata Ravioli was rich without being heavy, creamy on the inside with a delicate pasta bite that let the filling shine. The fish dish (fresh, expertly cooked) brought brightness and balance to the table—clean flavors, beautifully seasoned, and clearly high-quality seafood. We ended with an affogato, because obviously. Hot espresso melting into cold, creamy gelato—simple, indulgent, and the perfect finale. Service was warm, attentive, and unpretentious—knowledgeable without hovering, making the entire experience feel relaxed and genuinely welcoming. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully seasoned, and intentionally composed, with flavors that complemented rather than competed. A cozy Italian gem that knows exactly what it’s doing—comforting, soulful, and quietly impressive. ✨🍝”
“Great dinner. We had the onion focaccia and meatballs to start. We then had the broccoli rabe pizza, lasagna, funghi pizza and the burrata ravioli. Everyone loved their dishes. The pizzas were amazing and the lasagna was light. The tiramisu was amazing for dessert. Highly recommend!”
“We were just walking around the neighborhood when we stumbled upon this cute little restaurant with great reviews, so we decided to stop by. At first, I wasn’t sure what to order but on the way to the restroom, I passed by the open kitchen and spotted someone being served the Eggs Benedict and a pizza. That definitely helped me make up my mind. We ended up trying the eggs Benedict and the lasagna, and both were absolutely delicious highly recommend! The cozy covered outdoor seating area added such a nice touch to the whole experience, we loved the vibe and felt so relaxed just sitting there. We’re really glad we decided to check this place out. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and we’d love to come back to try more dishes next time.”
