    The food at the Italiano is fabulous, proof being that even on a Monday night the restaurant and bar were incredibly busy. My only issues were one trivial one and the other I would consider substantial. Trivial would be that tonight the kitchen was out of the zucchini blossoms which was tragic because I love them! The substantial issue for me is the noise level. We were sitting at one of the very comfortable couch like tables in the bar and the noise level is so high that you have to consistently ask those across from you to repeat what they are saying, and I also felt forced to lean across the table for them to hear me clearly. That is my singular negative aissue with the Italiano. Otherwise the food is amazing, the decor and style of the entire place is lovely, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I just wish the noise level would be brought down to a more civilized to level so as to make the dining experience that much more pleasurable.

    Such an experience for my daughter's 20th birthday dinner. We sat out on their covered patio which was a real treat. The food was outstanding and the ambiance took us back to trips in Paris. One of our favorite eateries in Scottsdale.

    Overall fun vibe, the server did a nice job of being involved but not circling constantly given it was slower. I would recommend doing a better job holding up your dress code standards, gentlemen allowed to enter in sneakers, running shoes and golf shorts throw off the overall vibe. Food was good and drinks are high quality, but you can get both for less and no cover at similar venues

    We had a wonderful dinner at Evo last night. We sat out on the patio. We started with the Octopus for an appetizer. I was surprised at how good it was. I definitely would try it. I had the crispy lasagna and it was great! My son had the salmon with couscous and he really liked it. My husband had the lobster gnocchi which was delicious. My daughter had the brussel sprouts and fettuccine alfredo. For dessert I had Sals cheesecake which was delicious. My son had the tiramisu and my husband had the chocolate cake. Everything was so good. Our waitress was wonderful. She explained each dish and was very attentive. We will definitely be back.

    Great food, staff, and atmosphere. I have driven by Mama many times since they opened, and I must admit that the cow on the corner caught my attention. I’m glad we had dinner there and we will definitely come back again.
