    Had to try the new Evangelo Express ! Very cute inside. Staff was friendly and welcoming. Ordered two pizza's for pick up and they were ready when we arrived and were nice and hot!

    Average food - pizza was too cheesy and pasta was too greasy. Ambience is good for wasilla and service is quick for a fine dine restaurant.

    Quiet, dark, fancy the ambiance was very old school Italian. Service was promoted very nice and respectful. For a party of 8 we did not wait long to be seated. Our appetizers were delicious. The serving size for just the lunch menu was more than enough to share.

    Super good pizza! The pizza crust was crispy but fluffy, a good amount of cheese, and not too greasy. Very expensive for pizza and 45 minutes is quite a wait for two pizzas.

    Evangelo's in Palmer is absolutely worth the drive from Anchorage especially for their seafood arabiata, it's that good! The dish is one of my favorites packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. I also tried their chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce and crab arthichoke dip with bruschetta bread for appetizer they were excellent too. The friendly and attentive staff make the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or driving in Evangelo's is a solid spot for delicious food and warm service!

    First visit for us as a couple as we celebrate a belated anniversary (57th) and Valentine's Day. My wife had been one time before with our oldest son before we moved to the Valley. She had been nagging me to bring her back because she enjoyed her meal. They had a Special Valentine's Day Celebration menu with dinner and Special Cocktails. My wife chose the 9oz Filet Mignon from the Valentines menu and I choose the Seafood Arabitta from the regular dinner menu. We started with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer with white wine cream sauce stuffed with lobster and crab. There were six covered in the sauce. They tasted amazing and may be the best I have ever had. The filling was flavorful and just the right consistency. The filling was full of the seafood with just enough binder to have a light flavor but didn't overwhelm the sauce. My wife chose a dinner salad with oil and red wine vinegar. The salad was ample with fresh lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber slices and black olives. The dressing came in a carrier so she could add as much or as little to her taste. I had a cup of the house minestrone soup which was served hot, well prepared and tasty. It has generous portions of vegetables, white and kidney beans, and pasta that was partially blended and simmered until the flavors blended. It was appropriately spiced expertly done. My wife's dinner entree had a filet cooked medium rare and seasoned. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a large baked potato seasoned with butter and sour cream in packets. On top of the filet was a portion of well cooked and seasoned asparagus. Additionally it included steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. All the vegetables were cooked very well and tasty. My seafood pasta dish came in a pasta bowl covered with sauce and containing fettuccine, several large shrimp, large scallops and fresh mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. The pasta and sauce were well cooked and seasoned and spicy. The menu warned that two of the dinners were hot and spicy. I found it moderately spicy but the waitress had brought jars of crushed red pepper and cheese to add as you desired. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection and 18" long. I found that even with the spoon provided it was difficult to twill in mouthfuls and ended up cutting it my knife. That's not a criticism or bad thing but a sign of excellent pasta possibly house made. It was very good. Another plus is the shrimp were larger than normally found in such dishes and tailless. I dislike when the shrimp have tails on and you have to try to remove the sauce covered shrimp before eating. The difference in price and quality between tail-on shrimp and tail-off is minimal for avoiding the messy removal in a cooked dish. Also both the Shrimp and Sea Scallops were large enough that I had to cut them with my knife to make a reasonable fork full width the pasta. I don't remember ever having to do that before so it of the highest compliment I can give to this restaurant and Chef. Overall everything that we were served tonight was of excellent quality, flavor, quantity and preparation. It was equal to the outstanding service by Heidi W and her male assistant. We seated by a hostess and very shortly greeted by our waitress Heidi. She was friendly and helpful and offered our drinks which she promptly served after she brought us ice water. She took our appetizer and dinners orders. From the point she served or water and drinks our glasses were never empty. She repeated observed our glasses and promptly asked if we wanted refills. She served our appetizer, then our soup and salad just as we finished the appetizer. When we finished our soup and salad she promptly served our main course. Between each course our dishes were cleared and condiments changed. When we showed signs of being full her assistant asked if we needed go boxes and then offered to take our plates and return with the filled boxes and a bag to carry them in without our asking. I can only evaluate our wait staff as outstanding and the best I have had in several years. I know this evaluation is long but I feel that I had to give as good an evaluation as the service and food earned. I have eaten in a few five star restaurants around the world in my fifty years of travel but never expected this quality in Wasilla, AK. There are very few restaurants in Alaska that compare to here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants an outstanding experience at a reasonable moderate price. They accept reservations and I would recommend them on weekends and holidays. Allow you can be accommodated without them. They have a large dining area and parking lot. Full bar, wine take out service and especially for take out of their pizza which we observed several being picked up. Sadly they do not offer a senior or military discount but that is not unusual for restaurants of this quality.

For me, coming here in the future my place will be at the bar with appetizers. Bar environment is 5/5 As far as the rest goes I think the food is good, not spectacular. 3/5. In the future I think I'd come for an appetizer and a couple of drinks and that's it. I felt the veal was tough on both ordered plates and potentially I would have preferred chicken. That being said the sauce was great. The grappa sauce had amazing flavor and the Marsala sauce also had great flavor. Plus the funghi appetizer was great with the bread. All of it was enjoyable enough for a return visit. This spot has very friendly staff, they move at a classic Alaska pace. Meant for sitting down and enjoying the company of someone you're eating with but not designed for getting in and out the door quickly. Come with the intention to get things as they come and enjoy the ride.

    Having been to Italy, Originale's is the closest restaurant that even compares to the taste of the…read moresandwiches made in Italy. I've had the Nonni and the Classic Piadina. Both are packed with flavor. Whether ordering in or ordering to go, keep in mind it takes quite a while--almost 10 to 15 mins--for the staff to make your sandwich, so I wouldn't recommend that you stop here in you're in a hurry because you're not going to get it out fast. In this case, call ahead about 30 mins or so if you're picking up. The prices are a little high, but it's worth the price for the quality of the food you're getting, which I can't say for most restaurants in the present era (2020s for those that are reading this in the 2030s and 2040s, if this platform still exists then lol!) Either way, the quality is HIGH and the flavor factor? HIGH! The Classic Piadina is very fresh tasting and comes with greens. It only comes in one size, so it's a little small for me. Still delicious! The Nonni is a pretty large sandwich, if you're getting the full sandwich. The onions combine with the meat enhances the flavors. The building that Originale is in presents itself as a very quaint and relaxed lunch spot with bright colors and large windows. It's a place you can go to sit and talk with friends. I look forward to trying more of their sandwiches.

I went with the "Favorito," and let's just say, it instantly earned its name. The prosciutto cotto was pure-savory-bliss-melt-in-your-mouth good. And the focaccia- fresh, herby, and perfectly balanced in thickness. It hugged the fillings just right without stealing the show. Also, the tomatoes- I did not expect them to be so buttery and delicious. I may have paused mid-bite to appreciate them. Yes, I'm that person. As a die-hard cheese lover, the little bonus cube of cheese on the side felt like a tiny gift--like the sandwich was giving me a wink and saying, "Hey, I see you." Originale, I'll be back. Probably sooner than I should be.
