After leaving, I did a quick search and learned that the chef/owner previously had a restaurant in Long Island, NY. That made perfect sense, I immediately loved the ambiance as soon as I walked in, even before trying the food or experiencing the service. I frequent many places in Long Island and really enjoy that style, so it felt familiar in the best way. We had a wonderful waitress, and the entire staff stood out for being genuinely kind and attentive, not just at our table, but throughout the restaurant. As a thoughtful gesture, they even removed the Kir Royale drinks from our bill since we didn't enjoy them much. We hadn't expected that at all, and it really showed how much they care about their customers. Every dish we tried was excellent. The calamari appetizer and the pesto gnocchi entrée were particular highlights for me. This is definitely a place I've added to my list for when I'm back in Florida. Highly recommend stopping by and experiencing it for yourself! read more

Wonderful experience, located in plaza with lots of parking. Outside table area, along with spacious interior seating area with numerous tables. Prompt seating and drink order taken from Austin our waiter. He was very good and provided excellent suggestions when asked. Party of 8 Sat dinner. Very good crowd. Austin provided daily specials and a verbal description of a non written menu items such as chicken Parm which was fantastic. Large fresh hot portion that was yummy. Halibut special was popular in our group and all had positive remarks. Very good spot- looking forward to next visit. read more

Wow!! We didn't know what to expect being in a shopping mall plaza, but we were completely blown away. It started with our first interaction at the host stand. The young man behind the stand was so friendly and kind. There was a tiny wait beyond out reservation and he kept apologizing. It really was only a few minutes and we were a few minutes early anyway. We were seated outside in the patio. There is an adorable gazebo, lights and tons of plants to create a warm and inviting outdoor area that doesn't even come close to a plaza! We were greeted by Jessy our waiter. He shared the specials and offered us an extensive wine list. We passed on drinks but ordered promptly. We started with the lobster bruschetta. I have no words for the unbelievable flavor I experienced. This was hands down the most incredible thing I've ever eaten in my entire life. I am a food snob, and this was just dynamite!! If I could have licked the plate, I would have. The cream sauce, warm tomato and tarragon was a flavor I'll be dreaming about. Next we got shrimp parm with a side of rigatoni bolognese. The shrimp were huge and full of flavor. The bolognese was perfect. Not too sweet, a perfect blend of red sauce and meat. Then we had the chicken Milanese with arugula salad over top. Perfectly crispy chicken that was juicy, not dry. The salad was refreshing with a light vinaigrette and fresh mozzarella on top. Absolutely delicious! Lastly we had dessert, tiramisu and a cannoli. It was good, I think chocolate shaving on the tiramisu and chocolate chips in the cannoli filling would have made them both a ten. As they were, I'd say a 7.5. Jessy was a fantastic waiter! Our drinks were never empty, he checked in on us multiple times, he was friendly, and knowledgeable when it came to the menu. We have already started planning our next trip. Given they we live more than 45 minutes away, we won't be able to come as often as we would if we lived in the area, but we WiILL be back! read more

Great for special occasions. Food is always excellent as is the service. We will def return!

Are you kidding me??? Amazing!!!! Great decor warm reception on a Saturday night at 9:30pm! Food off the hook! We had everything! Cesar salad crunchy and not over dressed best anchovies too, caprese, pear pocket pasta THE BEST, chicken dish, pesto gnocchi and halibut to live for!!! Thank you for being spot on. Artwork on walls by Guillermo was an added bonus. Keep doing what you're doing because it's really damn good. Sidenote, I don't want you to go out of business .. too much standing around on a Saturday night at 10:30! Save Labor cut appropriately. Take this suggestion from somebody who knows. read more

EVO food is excellent! Sitting in garden area is very pleasant and preferable to inside. The meatballs, Cesare salad, burrata salad and lobster bruschetta wonderful appetizers. Wild mushroom and sausage mafalde, pennine rigate vodka pasta, and fileto gorgonzola entrees were all delicious and beautifully presented. We topped it off with the chocolate bliss with vanilla gelato and a dish of raspberry sorbet. They offer a full menu of wines and liquors. Evo staff is awesome, especially Cayden our waiter this evening. Evo is the gem of Tequesta! read more

The food here is not good at all. We have tried twice and everything is bland and not seasoned. It is not a real Italian place. Way over priced too. read more

Another great dining experience at EVO ITALIAN. My wife and I had dinner on Christmas Eve at EVO. This restaurant never disappoints! delicious food, great service and a staff that is awesome. EVO does everything possible to ensure a great dining experience. They are dedicated to ensuring the customer is always satisfied. Melissa Davis is the most dedicated manager we've ever experienced. She personally visits every table to ensure each patron is happy. What an asset to EVO. Our server Austin was great. Austin was knowledgeable, customer focused and just a nice young man. Please don't miss going for dinner at this Italian Restaurant. Merry Christmas John & Elaine 12/25/25 read more

We went there last night to celebrate a birthday. Cody was our server and she was very accommodating and patient. We started with the calamari as an appetizer. It was excellent and the portions were very plentiful. We also ordered the veal and penne Ala vodka as our main entrees. Both were excellent and the service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend read more

I am going to keep this one short and simple. It was tough to get a reservation but worth the wait. My wife and I really enjoyed the experience. The atmosphere was vibrant, the waitstaff worked like an finely rehearsed orchestra and the food was the best that we have had since we bought our second home in PBG. I would strongly suggest EVO, you will not be disappointed. read more

I would have normally gave a 5 star as the food is always good ,but when you want to sit indoors and they say 5 people need to sit outside , but it's raining , then they sit you at a table next to a window full of cardboard boxes and service doesn't check on you enough you should get 1 star but I'm generous.For the price of food the service should've matched but it didn't and not sure if I would recommend after this lack of service provided. If you can't seat properly then don't just put tables anywhere and provide lack of service as we had to get up twice and go inside to get help and our check , this is actually a normal place for us to eat every time in Jupiter, but now not so much , yes all it takes it one disrespectful performance for the type of service we're willing to pay for. read more

We loved the food and service! It's not cheap, but well worth it. I will absolutely recommend it! It's now our favorite Italian restaurant! read more

Second time here. Well executed, delicious and well portioned Italian-American fare in an upscale but modest ambiance. Arguably the best Italian restaurant in Palm Beach County. Would compete with and drive traffic like Manhattan's most popular Italian-American places so it's a must try if you're here for season or anytime! Great service and comped dessert for my parents anniversary we love Evo! If you come, have someone who likes to share order Nancy's meatballs and Sunday Gravy pasta: two standouts! read more

Great birthday dinner! Amazing service (her name escapes me), jace was also very helpful! Love the style of service where you order everything at once and the kitchen courses it due to everyone being made in house. Great meal. read more

Thankful I gave this place another try. I get it now. The first time I came here was on a recommendation and I truly wasn't impressed but I just came back with some friends and I'm newly obsessed. Owners have always been awesome, so friendly and you can tell how much they care about their business and the guests that stop in. This is somewhere I'd recommend dining in for a date night or some kind of celebration. Cocktails were good, but I'd stick with their curated wine section or a classic martini of sorts. My favorite dishes of tonight were the calamari, pears beggars purse pasta app, and the lobster bruschetta. We split a lot of other things and there truly wasn't a bad plate at our table. Can't go wrong. read more

Visiting our daughter this weekend and a friend recommended Evo Italian. We were seated at a cozy table for 4. The waitstaff was attentive, the food was EXCELLENT! We ordered a second order of the artichoke appetizer and they brought enough for the 4 of us (round 2). The linguini and clams, chicken piccata and the steak were amazing. The berries and cream dessert was also delicious. We will most definitely return! Thank you! read more

I made a reservation same day after seeing what Evo has done for special occasions and I was not disappointed! Everything was absolutely fantastic! We had the meatballs as an appetizer and they were well presented. Large, but not dried out or bready. I ordered lasagna, which was excellent, but my fiancé had a phenomenal veal chop. Cooked to perfection, the Marsala sauce and potatoes complemented the dish splendidly. Not to mention how wonderful the service was. Our server Katie was very attentive and the bussers were on top of it as far as clearing dishes and making sure drinks were filled. It was a lovely fine dining experience and I'll definitely be back. I guess my only "complaint" would be the music, I'm kind of a granny and the EDM/dance music didn't quite fit the vibe. But that's hardly a complaint, I can deal read more

Make a reservation on Open Table! This is not a place to walk in for a table as it gets full quickly. They do have a bar area but that seemed to be just as busy as the seated areas. Once seated you are taken care of by various staff members. Everything was flawless with the service. The drinks were good. Wished the the Emperor had more of the Butterfly Pea in it but otherwise no complaints. Creme Brûlée was made to perfection! The hostess recommended the Poached Pear Beggars Purse. Definitely didn't disappoint. They do have a sweet taste so they could easily serve as something sweet at the end of the meal. The Short Rib Brasato was great! Nothing like a nice lemon sorbet to end the meal. Felt like I was back in Italy having a meal. Definitely will recommend and can't wait to return to try something new. read more

Nice Italian with a great outdoor space. Food is consistently good. Tonight we went with another couple. We both shared arugula salads and it was very good. For mains we all had a different dish. The couple we were with ordered chicken piccata and grilled salmon. My friend enjoyed his chicken piccata, but the salmon came out prepared totally wrong, but it was quickly remedied and was enjoyed. My wife had the chicken Milanese and said it was also very good. I had the yellow snapper francese and thought it was excellent. Food and service are very good, but the price point for decent Italian is just too high. read more

We stumbled on this amazing fine Italian restaurant, we were very happy with service ambience and delicious food. We had artichoke for appetizer it was delicious and meals were mouth watering, chicken prosciutto mozzarella, and yellow tail snapper franchise, so delicious, i would drive 3 hours to enjoy this savory meal. Dominick our server was professional and friendly! All the staff here seemed friendly and helpful. A five star restaurant. read more

EVO was everything I hoped for! The food was amazing and the service was outstanding. This restaurant is hidden gem in a strip shopping center. The shopping center is nothing to be impressed with. However, when you walk into EVO, it's another world. Not too small and not too big, but just enough to give a quaint and romantic vibe. Whether you are there with friends, celebrating an anniversary, birthday or just having a romantic dinner. EVO will not disappoint. read more

Another amazing meal at Evo. We have been coming here since they opened (in the original location) and the food just keeps getting better. Bread with oil/vinegar. Standard but so good. We started with the lobster ravioli special which was delicious. Four ravioli stuffed with lobster in a wonderful cream sauce with small heirloom tomatoes. Sorry forgot to take a picture! We split a Caesar salad. Hubby with anchovies, mine without. Amazing dressing, bread crumbs instead of croutons. Really tasty. I had the salmon. Very good though not a fan of the beans they served with it. The salmon was perfectly cooked. Husband had the fruta de mare special. Great amount of seafood, and huge shrimp, in red sauce. Dessert was amazing. Lemon cake, chocolate bliss cake with vanilla gelato and the crème brulee. All delicious. read more

Good food. Good service. Tucked behind a strip center. Not much to look at from the outside. Nicely appointed inside.

Went on a Wednesday night around 8pm and the restaurant was very busy. Atmosphere in the bar area was lively and fun, but we sat out in the courtyard, which was very nice. Service was very attentive and the food came out quickly - almost too quickly. For apps we shared the meatballs (10/10 in a very good pomodoro sauce), Caesar salad (standard but good...the generous pieces of shaved parm was a nice touch), and ravioli special (stuffed with meat in a mushroom sauce). We opted to share the Sunday gravy, cacio e Pepe and short rib for the main course. The short rib was under seasoned, but cooked perfectly. The cacio Pepe was swimming in olive oil! Traditionally, cacio e Pepe does not contain any oil at all; it is made simply from pecorino cheese emulsified with starchy pasta water. I am not a purist and I recognize that recipes do not need to be authentic to be delicious, but this is one that should have remained closer to the original. read more

We like sitting in the lounge area lately because it's quieter and service is great. I tried the veal Milanese this time and it was delicious. The seafood pasta and octopus was so so. Wouldn't order it again. Nor would I order the grilled octopus which was tough. read more

This was my second time at evo- had not been in YEARS. They had redone it since last I had been there and it looks much better but the tables are still on top of each other with thin weird curtains separating the tables. There are lots of moving working parts and tons of servers, water ppl etc. but as soon as they get busy and you need your check you are waiting forever. We had the meatball app and it was delicious- it came with two meatballs which were good size. Our server informed us that if what we wanted wasn't on the menu the kitchen could make whatever we wanted. I almost went for the fruitti de mar bc I love seafood but wanted red sauce. So I ordered rigatoni with shrimp and red spicy sauce. The server informed me that it would come with 3 to 4 shrimp. ( I told him I'd like 4). My husband got the linguini with clams - he loved it. My meal was very spicy like I wanted and the noodles were great - the 4 shrimp were very tough! Once the bill came I was shocked to see that the pasta with 4 shrimp I had ordered was priced at $52 like the fruitti de mar which includes lobster, clams, shrimp, and calamari. I'm baffled that 4 shrimp would be priced the same as the seafood medley! The cannoli was not your average cannoli and was overdone with tons of chocolate sauce and NO chocolate chips in the middle. If you ask us this place is overrated and we will not be returning. read more
