Evino Restaurant is the real deal! Exquisite service, excellent food and a mile long wine list. I was super impressed with Ramona's newest restaurant. We started with the "Wild Boar Sausage Meatballs". These were like no other meatballs I've put in my mouth. Somewhat unorthodox, although quite delicious. The grind was coarse and held together loosely. Not all loaf-like, nor full of breadcrumbs and random binding agents. I almost asked for a spoon just to finish the outstanding sauce in the dish. Served in a classy Staub baking dish.
On to the mains, my son ordered the "Braised Ragout". Wild boar and a liberal amount of tender braised short rib nestled with house made pappardelle pasta. Outstanding dish. I ordered the "Capocollo Pizza". Tomato sauce, fresh mozzarella, house wild boar sausage, Sicilian oregano, fennel pollen and chili. Light, thin crust, perfectly charred with a nice chew. So easy to eat the whole thing. The combination of toppings was such a combustion of flavor. Highly recommended.
Although the walls remain completely barren, bleak and lifeless it was still a very enjoyable dining experience. It was a nice break from the sensory overload you experience at a place like Buca di Beppo or Cracker Barrel. And their music playing in the background added a great vibe. I liked it. Evino is definitely a must visit and is most worthy of my wholehearted endorsement!
