    Average food - pizza was too cheesy and pasta was too greasy. Ambience is good for wasilla and service is quick for a fine dine restaurant.

    Quiet, dark, fancy the ambiance was very old school Italian. Service was promoted very nice and respectful. For a party of 8 we did not wait long to be seated. Our appetizers were delicious. The serving size for just the lunch menu was more than enough to share.

    Super good pizza! The pizza crust was crispy but fluffy, a good amount of cheese, and not too greasy. Very expensive for pizza and 45 minutes is quite a wait for two pizzas.

    Evangelo's in Palmer is absolutely worth the drive from Anchorage especially for their seafood arabiata, it's that good! The dish is one of my favorites packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. I also tried their chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce and crab arthichoke dip with bruschetta bread for appetizer they were excellent too. The friendly and attentive staff make the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or driving in Evangelo's is a solid spot for delicious food and warm service!

    First visit for us as a couple as we celebrate a belated anniversary (57th) and Valentine's Day. My wife had been one time before with our oldest son before we moved to the Valley. She had been nagging me to bring her back because she enjoyed her meal. They had a Special Valentine's Day Celebration menu with dinner and Special Cocktails. My wife chose the 9oz Filet Mignon from the Valentines menu and I choose the Seafood Arabitta from the regular dinner menu. We started with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer with white wine cream sauce stuffed with lobster and crab. There were six covered in the sauce. They tasted amazing and may be the best I have ever had. The filling was flavorful and just the right consistency. The filling was full of the seafood with just enough binder to have a light flavor but didn't overwhelm the sauce. My wife chose a dinner salad with oil and red wine vinegar. The salad was ample with fresh lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber slices and black olives. The dressing came in a carrier so she could add as much or as little to her taste. I had a cup of the house minestrone soup which was served hot, well prepared and tasty. It has generous portions of vegetables, white and kidney beans, and pasta that was partially blended and simmered until the flavors blended. It was appropriately spiced expertly done. My wife's dinner entree had a filet cooked medium rare and seasoned. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a large baked potato seasoned with butter and sour cream in packets. On top of the filet was a portion of well cooked and seasoned asparagus. Additionally it included steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. All the vegetables were cooked very well and tasty. My seafood pasta dish came in a pasta bowl covered with sauce and containing fettuccine, several large shrimp, large scallops and fresh mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. The pasta and sauce were well cooked and seasoned and spicy. The menu warned that two of the dinners were hot and spicy. I found it moderately spicy but the waitress had brought jars of crushed red pepper and cheese to add as you desired. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection and 18" long. I found that even with the spoon provided it was difficult to twill in mouthfuls and ended up cutting it my knife. That's not a criticism or bad thing but a sign of excellent pasta possibly house made. It was very good. Another plus is the shrimp were larger than normally found in such dishes and tailless. I dislike when the shrimp have tails on and you have to try to remove the sauce covered shrimp before eating. The difference in price and quality between tail-on shrimp and tail-off is minimal for avoiding the messy removal in a cooked dish. Also both the Shrimp and Sea Scallops were large enough that I had to cut them with my knife to make a reasonable fork full width the pasta. I don't remember ever having to do that before so it of the highest compliment I can give to this restaurant and Chef. Overall everything that we were served tonight was of excellent quality, flavor, quantity and preparation. It was equal to the outstanding service by Heidi W and her male assistant. We seated by a hostess and very shortly greeted by our waitress Heidi. She was friendly and helpful and offered our drinks which she promptly served after she brought us ice water. She took our appetizer and dinners orders. From the point she served or water and drinks our glasses were never empty. She repeated observed our glasses and promptly asked if we wanted refills. She served our appetizer, then our soup and salad just as we finished the appetizer. When we finished our soup and salad she promptly served our main course. Between each course our dishes were cleared and condiments changed. When we showed signs of being full her assistant asked if we needed go boxes and then offered to take our plates and return with the filled boxes and a bag to carry them in without our asking. I can only evaluate our wait staff as outstanding and the best I have had in several years. I know this evaluation is long but I feel that I had to give as good an evaluation as the service and food earned. I have eaten in a few five star restaurants around the world in my fifty years of travel but never expected this quality in Wasilla, AK. There are very few restaurants in Alaska that compare to here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants an outstanding experience at a reasonable moderate price. They accept reservations and I would recommend them on weekends and holidays. Allow you can be accommodated without them. They have a large dining area and parking lot. Full bar, wine take out service and especially for take out of their pizza which we observed several being picked up. Sadly they do not offer a senior or military discount but that is not unusual for restaurants of this quality.

    A local family owned and operated business I truly appreciate and support for quality Doenner…read moreKebabs with authentic hand -crafted Turkish flatbreads and Mediterranean style Pizza's - what reminds me of the Greek or Mediterranean style pizzas and Turkish Kebab fusion cuisine using quality grains and ingredients many of us experienced in Europe and parts of Canada. The lamb is some of the best lamb kebabs served on fresh daily hand-crafted Turkish flatbread I have ever had, similar to my experiences in Europe many Americans have never truly experienced. I have lived and worked in Europe and Canada where I experienced amazing kebab places, but Leo's seems to bring some of that quality goodness here locally which was desperately needed for many of us. Leo's reminds me of being in Europe and Canada. The garlic white sauce on the kebabs (Tzatziki - my personal favorite) with all the veggies is comfort food - good food that brings back wonderful memories. We could use a few more of these types of delectable Mediterranean culinary fusion places in Alaska. It is one of a kind; and the quality of the food is incredible - a new family business we truly needed. We hope they continue to prosper and do well at their recently reopened new location in Wasilla. The new location works better; moreover, you can see the rotisserie spits now with fresh veggies with all the fixings' out in the front for all to see ... similar to kebab shops in Germany and other parts of Europe we experienced. They source from higher quality European vendors it seems, and you know what you get is superior to the status quo typical bioengineered garbage chemicals or highly processed seed oils not intended for human consumption most Americans are faced with today thanks to decades of corruption, racketeering, money laundering and lies and fraud rings from criminal lifelong bureaucrats that no longer work for the people they are supposed to be serving. In the event you are missing a good Doenner Kebab and something different, Leo's seems to satisfy that old school meticulously hand-crafted Turkish flatbread Kebabs and Mediterranean style pizza cravings. The family staff who owns and operates the business are always friendly, knowledgeable and courteous. Another plus is that they only use healthier animal fats like beef tallow for example instead of unhealthy highly processed seed oils or synthetic bioengineered ingredients - another much healthier choice. Yes I would recommend Leo's Doener Kebab and Pizza's for anyone looking to try something incredible right here in the Matanuska-Susitna valley conveniently located in a central downtown Wasilla location.

    The doner classic was good but I was so excited for tzatiki and it only had a thousand island type…read moresauce on it. I pulled it apart to eat,, the meat was nice and cucumber and tomato slices fresh. I even mentioned tzatiki assuming it would be on it but I should have asked.
