    We luckily picked a slow time, 6:00 PM on Wednesday. Service was prompt and courteous. Everything came on time and as requested. My chicken Milanese was done to perfection. The garlic bread was fresh and just toasted. My wife’s gnocchi with mushrooms was incredible. My picky teenage daughter ate every bit of her spaghetti and even the meatballs. Our guest ate all his spaghetti and chicken. Everything was made from scratch; nothing tasted premade.

    Excellent meal and service. Cozy setting with adequate table lighting. Recent Washington Post review was top notch so that moved us to check out Evelyn Rose after months of procrastination! I love that the tasting menu items can be 1) ordered a la carte and 2) not all diners need to choose that menu. More restaurants need to follow their lead. We will return for Happy Hour, always a nice way to save a few bucks. Hats off to the team, front and back of the house.

    Great experience as always. Caesar provided fantastic and attentive service. The food was reliably delicious. The only slight drawback is the noise level which I would describe as overly lively. Patrons and staff were all trying to talk over the music. Perhaps a notch down on music to just make it lively. Thanks, North Italia.
