“ Great space and solid service. Enjoyed the attichoke quite a bit and the burrata ravioli. The pesto pasta was good as well. ”
“ This place is a gem. The atmosphere is beautiful. It is quite small inside but the food is totally worth it. I came for brunch. It's quite busy around that time. I felt like my server was very occupied but the whole staff was attentive and welcoming to me and other customers. The staff seemed to definitely work as a team. I was not a fan of the Ghost Negroni or the Butterfly Pea drink but they do have an extensive selection of wines and spirits. I would definitely come back to try their dinner menu. ”
“ Evelina is a must try in Brooklyn! Every time I visit the city, I insist that my friends take me there for brunch or lunch because I would sell my soul for the chicken sandwich. Staff is fabulous and attentive. The place itself is super aesthetically pleasing and a very cozy spot. Couldn't recommend more. ”
“ Unassuming cozy spot for a great dinner - everyone loved their dishes the pasta was awesome and the steak was top tier! The drinks were great and reasonably priced and the waiter always made sure we had enough drinks / food. Great spot would definitely go back ”
“ Didn't have a rez on Sunday at 11-ish but they accommodated us (2 people) immediately. Brunch menu has a good amount of options and everything sounds good but I decided to have pasta for breakfast. The pancakes were also a strong contender. The beef cheek pappardelle was hearty and tasty, definitely a hefty portion and easily shared. My americano was OK-- I'm not a fan of super darkly roasted Italian espresso so I'd stick to a cappuccino next time but I still enjoyed it. The biscotti on the side was a nice touch and paired perfectly with my coffee. My brunch date had two entrees: the short rib dish and the pancakes. Both looked good, the short rib dish was definitely a smaller portion. The pancakes are pretty popular and they smelled divine. Pasta and pancakes didn't feel like a good combo for me so I didn't try them. The ambiance is pretty chill, service is attentive but not over the top. A little on the expensive side but didn't feel too crazy. ”
“ Aesthetic brunch spot with Italian influence. Made a reservation online for three people at 10am on a Saturday a couple weeks in advance. There was a short wait but we got a large table on the patio. The issue with the patio was that the acorns dripping from the tree onto the roof were extremely loud and there was construction on the street, so that messed up the ambiance. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the company and the food, though on the smaller side, was nicely plated. We got the following: Ricotta pancakes - these weren't too sweet and came in three, so it was perfect for our group to split. Short rib - a solid plate that is good for sharing as well; the meat fell off the bone and came with buttery mashed potatoes. Porcini ravioli - the best dish in my opinion - even our waitress prefers this over all the other pastas. ”
“ The food is always fresh, plentiful and good. The service is great and friendly, l have been there many times and am satisfied. Recommend Evelina to all my friends and family. Sheila F. White ”
“ Solid 4 stars. I'm in love with the oxtail pappardelle. Call me greedy but I always order an extra dish and share with whoever I go with along with an appetizer. Shout out to Brianeats on IG who introduced me to this place. ”
