I love this location even more than the one in Old Town. It has more of a modern feel. But the meatball appetizer is still the same and a must! We had 8 people at our table, and ordered 3 of them before dinner! (That's 9 meatballs with 9 crostini, and they are large!) They are so delicious and perfect in texture (meaning not at all dense)! Needless to say, I couldn't finish my Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, but I wouldn't skip the meatballs. My friend had the Lobster Gnocchi & had expected it to just have bits of lobster in the sauce. We were all amazed that the generous amount of gnocchi was topped with a full lobster tail in the shell. I definitely recommend that! read more

My third visit and unfortunately not my best. Before I get into the food quality, the place was jammed - a good thing. The food was only ok. We shared a very very crunchy kale salad. Tasty but overdone for me. I ordered the eggplant parm which was ridiculously small - 3 circles of eggplant. My first visit, the parm plate was huge. Evo thankfully changed the eggplant parm side dish from mashed potatoes to a side of pasta. My pasta size was much bigger than my husband's and was on the dry side with the pasta sticking together. The entree was disappointing. We shared the dense chocolate cake which was good. Evo is a good place to have in the neighborhood just wish they would step up the consistency. read more

Service was non-existent...waitress never returned to refill drinks, take additional drink order and we never order main entries since waitress deserted us. After 45 minutes we were able to ask other staff and finally get the waitress so we could pay for initial drinks. Food was lost on lack of service read more

My meatballs were COLD. No water was in sight outside for at least 5 minutes. I finally walked to the Hostess stand and asked the Manager if he could warm them up. He did after10 minutes, but made no allowance on our bill for the inconvenience! read more

The homemade pasta--regular and gluten free, were incredible. I, along with my wife and three sons, each ordered all different entrees and several appetizers and pizza, and all were fantastic. Burrata, Fritto Misto, Chile Shrimp pasta, Frutti de Mare, Bolognese, Fennel Sausage, etc., were all amazing. The Italian Chianti was also fantastic. We are landlords of top restaurants in Denver and we appreciate great restaurants. read more

Everyone loves PROS/CONS!!! Pro's: -Nice little vibe. Nice decor. Great service. -Plays bangers. Not club bangers. Not rap bangers. But the bangers that a 30 year old like myself can listen to and say "hell yeah" (examples: mac miller, wiz Khalifa, Gerry Rafferty) -Food was 7.4/10. Have had better Italian meals many times in my short life. This was solid. But not mind blowing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Whipped Feta App -Great cocktails Cons: -Prices were fine. Not many #Dealz to be found. -Limited beer on tap. read more

EVO - Italian Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

Went to Evo during their soft opening. The interior is cool/trendy- first impression was strong. Super friendly hostess and enjoyed our server (sorry don't remember her name. Had a nose ring). The owner stopped by our table to check-in as well. Ordered the chicken parm, which I thought was excellent. My mom enjoyed her eggplant parm as well. There were a couple issues with the lemon cake so we sent it back.. I'd give them a solid 4 stars. I will be back soon and recommend to others in the area. read more

Evo North Scottsdale was excellent! 10/10 would eat again. To start it off the bar is classy, well stocked and provided impeccable service. That service carried over to our waiter who was very attentive and didn't miss a thing! I was able to sample a few items from the menu and all were top notch. Started with some bruschetta, with apple and brie on it. Can't remember the meat but it was bomb. Then I had the caesar salad which came out perfect. Plenty of fresh parm and the right amount of dressing. Not a fishy caesar which is a plus for me. Next I had the fried ravioli. It was hard to decide between the creamy lemony dip or their killer marinara. You could actually dip both for an interesting twist. Finally to top it off I had the chicken parm. It was moderately breaded like any good comfort food should be, and was covered with half marinara (the one that came with the fried ravioli) and I believe the other half was an alfredo sauce. It looked like a tasty ying yang symbol. It was accompanied by a reasonable portion of gnocchi which was also cooked to perfection. I highly recommend this spot for date night, drinks at the bar with friends, or happy hour with co-workers. They did have vegetarian and gluten free options which was a huge plus for the wifey. We will definitely be back! read more

Evo north Scottsdale is fantastic!! We have been to the one in old town too many times to count & were so excited when this one opened! It did not disappoint!!!

Delicious food and good service. I will return for sure! The ambiance was pleasant and the vibe of the restaurant was nice.

We booked a group of 25 to feed our hockey team - I contacted them on a Tuesday or Wednesday for a Saturday dinner, and they came through, no problem. We got the patio and a buffet style dinner. The food was terrific, and the setup was great - everyone can move around and mingle, and we had a terrific time. Special thanks to our server Iris who tolerated the idiotic shenanigans from our party. She kept us constantly hydrated, and a great time was had by all. read more

Amazing atmosphere. Very cool and modern design. We sat outside and it was beautiful. The bar was lit up and very well designed. The bathroom was tastefully decorated and very clean. Our waitress was absolutely top notch. She came back frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. Very attentive and kind yet laid back. She wasn't in your face at all. Just a great waitress. As an appetizer we got the cheese ravioli which came with pomodoro and lemon ailoli sauce. Very tasty. My wife especially enjoyed it. As far as the pasta goes I ordered the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. I loved it! The chicken was grilled to perfection. I see the complaints about it not being creamy enough and I have to disagree. Yes, it's not the creamiest but it's balanced and it just works. My wife ordered the crispy lasagna. She absolutely loved it! I tasted a little and it blew me away. They have surprisingly good portions along with their high quality food. (I apologize for the picture of the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. It looked so good I started eating before I had taken the picture) On a date night? Have a special occasion? Just want some good Italian food? Head over to EVO in North Scottsdale. You won't be disappointed! read more

Went last night without a reservation at 1 am. Sat immediately and was served immediately. Friendly and quick service. Didn't wait more than 15 minutes for our food. We had heard that this restaurant was really good. That was a lie. The ambiance and service is fantastic but the food is bland and extremely overpriced. I got the Lobster Gnocci and my Fiance got the Burger with fries. The lobster gnocci was $45 and not worth it. The noodles and lobster were cooked perfectly but there just wasn't any flavor. The burger was nothing better than a burger you could get at any sit down restaurant. For how much people have raved about Evo, we were mildly disappointed. We would like to come back with better recommendations of food in the future! read more

I wanted to rate a 5 star but rating it a 4.5 because of the Trio Bruschetta. Bruschetta is a stew of tomatoes, right? Well we were served baby tomatoes cut in half. What raw baby tomatoes? If EVO doesn't want to go through the trouble of making real bruschetta then buy a jar from Trader Joes or Wholefoods. No one would know it is not homemade. And the other 2 dishes called bruschetta on their menu is burrata and some other melted cheese with sweet fig jam. That's not the bruschetta I had in mind. With that said I had ordered gluten free bread and it was excellent. Kind of like a pizza with parmesan and it was extremely tasty. Main course was a filet mignon and it was excellent, great sauce, very very tender cut. Dessert was the flourless chocolate cake and that was winner. very smooth and creamy. Delicious. Overall I recommend EVO. Outside of the Trio Bruschetta, the meal was excellent. I recommend EVO and will definitely go back. The Deco is well done. Has a nice atmosphere. Beautiful bar. read more

First of all, this place has it ALL - amazing food, great vibe, and incredible service. Second of all - their happy hour is AMAZING. Third - the food is INSANELY good. We got the whipped feta, margarita pizza, meatballs, & chocolate torte & would highly recommended everything. The aesthetic and interior are beautifully done and I could not stop looking around at all of the attention to detail throughout. Shayna, who took care of us at the bar, was extremely personable and attentive and made great recommendations and even better conversation. Overall. 10/10 would highly recommend and we will be back for sure! read more

Indulgence at its finest! The food and drinks here are an explosion of flavors. Appetizers come in perfect timing and I definitely recommend the Potato and Ricotta pizza. For my entrée, I had the Lobster Gnocchi, and it was delicious! The lobster was an art of perfection, and the creamy white sauce enveloping the gnocchi is an addiction waiting to happen. The staff is pure magic, from the gracious hostesses to the adaptable servers, they cater to every guest like royalty. This place suits all occasions! A romantic date night or a fun-filled family gathering, it sets the perfect stage. For outdoor enthusiasts, there's delightful seating with misters, and the ambiance is just as enchanting as the interior. Don't miss the chance to snap some Instagram-worthy photos against the captivating décor and photogenic wall! This place is somewhere I'll visit on every trip in. read more

The very worst dining experience. Went to Evo North Scottsdale to take a friend for her bday. Ordered what I always order --PAPPARDELLO and asked for extra sauce. Sauce tasted just like it came out of a Contadina Tomato Paste can. Asked server if there was a new chef and he answered that there was. Asked for decaf coffee -- but restaurant had none. Table of 4 loud twenty year olds seated right next to us, even though there was plenty of room. Left restaurant -- no one at register/front door. read more

The food was tasty but nothing came out hot. We had early reservations so they couldn't blame a backed up kitchen. We got a bottle of wine even though we ordered off of their happy hour menu which ended up about $10 more than it should have been with the happy hour price. But what was worse was that the red wine was very warm. Not room temperature, not even room temp for AZ, warm. We had to ask for a chiller for our red wine. We got after dinner espressos and each of them were cold. How do you serve cold espresso!? The manager came out and apologized and comped one appetizer and gave us a dessert. Now that dessert burned our mouth! I guess they thought we had it coming. LOL. Too many good Italian restaurants on Scottsdale. I don't think I would go back. read more

EVO is a DELICIOUS Experience. Loved our Server Carl as well. The large Meatball and large Arancini appetizers were both tasty and moist. Grilled Salmon with white beans/leek sauce and Scallops with risotto are a must to order. Wonderful flavors surrounded our taste buds! Will definitely be back to try more menu items! read more

Unbelievable food, great service, and amazing atmosphere. I highly recommend for a date spot, a great night out, or a fun time at the bar! You can't really go wrong but I'd go with whipped feta, an EVO salad, share a pizza and a pasta like the shrimp and lobster tortellini or truffle short rib stuffed bowtie, and the buttercake for dessert! read more

It's one of the best meals I've had in a long time. We ordered the Crispy Lasagna and Chicken Parm with Gnocchi. Finished with a butter cake and went home fat and happy. The service was A+ and they accommodated our request for a booth on a busy Saturday night knowing they had reservations to honor. Honestly, it was n't expected and we did our part to help them meet those obligations as a thank you in return. We can't wait to go back. read more

I don't write many reviews, but This is my new favorite restaurant in town. Great service from Jacob and every item we ate was GREAT!!! Great drinks, great ambiance, and the prices are perfect for what you are getting. A+ all around. I had chicken parm which is perfect. Enough said. Wife had filet, it was cooked PERFECT and the pan gravy was great and carrots and mashed potatoes were perfect. Butter cake desert is a must but you have to order in advance. Also it is not a true butter cake but it is delish either way! Meatball appetizer and charred octopus were perfect. Can't say enough. Excellent read more

Came here the other night while in town for a work conference. They serve full menu until 1:30am. Pasta is made in-house and the drinks are great. Good service, too. Shout out to the owner who was there greeting diners. Good guy! read more

Hmmm!? Very interesting visit at EVO today, the inside had a mix of many styles. Got one of the pizzas and boy oh boy was it spicy! Not sure if this is because I'm not the biggest fan of spice or if it was just really hot. Don't get me wrong the overall pizza tasted great but the spice factor ruined it a little for me. Service was great and helpful! All in all, a nice spot for dinner but if I was to come again I would order something else. read more
