    In my opinion, this is the best Italian food in Charlotte. The decor and interior design genuinely elevate the whole experience -- I love the wallpaper, and especially the lace curtains, which make the place feel like being back in my nonna's kitchen. If I'm being picky, I do wish the pasta offerings were a bit more expansive, or at least rotated more often, but what's on the menu is still fantastic. I'm not a big meat eater, and while the non-meat selection is limited, I can still absolutely come here and have a full, delicious meal. Brunch is also exceptional. The mimosas are pricey but enormous, and the ricotta pancakes with strawberry syrup are worth the trip on their own -- I've tried recreating them at home and haven't come close. They do take walk-ins, so a reservation isn't strictly necessary, but it's definitely recommended, especially for larger parties. That said, my one real complaint is the $3-per-person reservation fee charged through Tock. This isn't applied to your bill or reimbursed when you show up -- it's essentially just the cost of a seat. That's not a big deal for one or two people, but for a larger party, you're looking at paying $15-20 just for the opportunity to then pay more for food. Honestly, it makes me less likely to book for a group -- I can't justify paying a cover charge just to walk into a restaurant. It feels like nickel-and-diming -- very out of alignment with the otherwise elevated atmosphere and experience -- and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth that the rest of the experience doesn't quite wash out.

    Dining at ever and all was a fantastic experience. We shared an appetizer, two entrees, dessert, wine, cocktails, and a coffee on a nice date night out and everything tasted delicious. The interior and vibe of this place felt classy and romantic while also fun, I can't wait to come back here. Wonderful service.

    Things have not change from when I went the last time. Made my reservation for Thursday at 6:30. And emergency occurred. So I emailed them to see if I can switched it to Friday or anytime Saturday. They changed it no problem. Nick was our waiter. And he is good with what he does. Cozy nice spot for a date night. When we came in, it wasn't too packed yet. But by the time we left around 7:45pm. It was getting very busy. We ordered the following. Burrata with orange marmalade with focaccia toasts. 5/5 warm toast helps the burrata melt a little and the marmalade add just the little sweetness. All time favorite. Roasted Oysters: 5/5 roasted to perfection topped with butter and panko. I couldn't eat that fast enough. Branzino 5/5 crispy skin, with a sweet meat and light. Pasta 5/5. Good carbs to go with the fish. My pink drink was for breast cancer awareness. And man it pack a punch. I was buzz. I do enjoy this please. They are good at what they do. And they stick with it..

    It's been a while since a Charlotte restaurant has impressed me, but Ever Andalo has done it! My biggest piece of advice is make a reservation! They say they have a waitlist for walk-ins but even getting there right at open, it was a 1.5 hour wait. Luckily we were able to snag bar seats to enjoy our drinks and meals. The cocktails were very well-made. My fiancé and I loved the bourbon ginger maple drink the best. We started with the focaccia and olive oil flight, and added the house-made ricotta. The bread was delicious and came with sea salt and rosemary to add in. I loooove ricotta so that was the perfect complement. The pasta portions are small but I thought it was the perfect amount. I loved the Sunny Cavatelli which had sausage, kale, and broccoli in a tomato cream sauce. My fiancé got the gnocchi and I enjoyed that too. I'm a tough critic when it comes to pasta but these dishes were both great!! Omg can't forget about dessert! The cannoli had a vanilla bean twist and was so yummy. The tiramisu was layered in a glass cup and was also delicious. This is the place to go for an elevated Italian dining experience.

    The was our first time at Ever Andalo, our waitress was very attentive and gave great suggestions. We loved everything we got, the focaccia is a must. The three different oils it comes with was a nice addition, the ricotta though was our favorite. Out of the two pastas we got, we enjoyed the Calabrian Chili one more. The atmosphere was very cozy!

    My friends and I came here a few weeks ago for dinner. We were lucky to get a spot at the bar right away. They have nothing but great things to say about this spot and I definitely enjoyed the experience here. We walked from their home and arrived around 7pm. The bartender recognized them and was friendly and attentive. It's a small but sleek and sophisticated restaurant with bar and regular seating. I had a glass of bubbles and one of the pasta dishes. I can see why this place is such a hit. I would definitely come back to try some other dishes and it looks like they have nice multi course dinners every now and then as well. @azfitfoodfun

    The restaurant is super cute. The service was nothing short of amazing. The pasta (Sunny Cavatelli) was very flavorful . I would probably just ask to have my pasta cooked a little longer next time. The pancakes were really good also. I would come back for their brunch.

    Michelin Guide recommended and it was soooo worth it! For drinks we ordered the For Ever Martini and Tre Amari Black Manhattan, both were equally delicious. The menu was fantastic, ambiance cosy, and service outstanding! Celebrated a birthday there and the staff went out of their way to make it feel special. Highly recommend the Calabrian Chili Pappardelle! Also the Focaccia, Crudo, & Whole Fried Artichokes were awesome small plates to start with. Of course I couldn't leave without dessert, so we went with the Orange Olive Oil Cake...AMAZING!!! Highly recommend this restaurant! They will be seeing us again very soon.

    My boyfriend took me for my birthday dinner here, and it was phenomenal! The ambiance was so cozy and romantic. The food was top tier, but I would say the artichoke is a must to order! Our wait staff were so polite and kind, and they worked way faster than I anticipated. Overall, definitely worth the hype and would absolutely go again!

    The food was so good! Felt like we were in Italy. The portions aren't huge, but still filled all of us. It's named after the area of Italy the owners great grandfather is from, which is precious. The pasta only has five ingredients and is made fresh daily. The server gave us a good rundown of the menu and answered all of our questions. The place was so cute. I loved the wallpaper. Not too dark or too bright.

    More than anything, the food at Ever Andalo was so beautiful that I almost hated having to 'ruin' it by diving in for a bite! My boyfriend decided on a Tuesday date night and popped in right at opening which works best for us because we love a senior citizen dining time. We had our pick of table and seated upon arrival. Our waiter explained the menu to us (I always laugh when menus are explained, like are we the first people to ever look at a menu?) and we started with drinks: the rosy rose sangria for me and some jalapeno tequila drink for him. The sangria was delightful, light and lightly sweet. Our appetizer was the focaccia bread with olive oil flight, ricotta, and pistachios. The bread looked like cake and was fluffy with a slight crust. The olive oil flight was lost on me - sorry, they all tasted like olive oil! - but the ricotta was absolutely a winner and a MUST for the bread. For mains, I went with the calabrian chile pappardalle and he went with chicken piccata and fingerling potatoes. The pasta was and is delicious and must get. Slightly spicy and yet creamy. Would order 100% again and again. The potatoes could've used more salt but we discovered that most of it had pooled at the bottom of the potato pyramid. The both of us truly enjoyed our meals and were so glad that we finally checked this place off our list. For a nice evening out with your boo or family, add Ever Andalo!

    Celebrated a birthday reservation here as 5 on a Friday night. Loved the bricked and ornate tiled floor. Filled up quickly after the 5pm opening. Nick, our waiter, made great recommendations and took great care of us throughout. Started with foccacia and a few flavorful olive oils. Keep in mind that all menu items are smaller portions since they are intended to be a course rather than an entree. Chose Gnocchi, Cavatelli, Mushroom Ravioli and Chicken Piccata. Everything was was hot and delicious. Unfortunately, no room was left for dessert, maybe next time. Enjoy!

    I confess I was a little salty when the Crepe Cellar closed down as it was one of my favorites. I should have had more faith in the team behind Haberdish another one of my favorite restaurants! Ever Andelo is clearly a passion project for the husband and wife owners as you can really feel how much of their heart and soul went into creating it. Everything from the decor to the food to the service is thoughtfully curated and pays homage to its Italian roots. From the moment we were brought out waters, the server brought over a citrus bar featuring lemons, oranges, cucumbers, and more in case we wanted to add any to our water. It may seem like a small thing, but that kind of personal attention and service goes a long way towards creating a unique dining experience. My table ordered the focaccia bread to start and it came with an olive oil flight. Four different olive oils each accompanied by a card describing the ingredients that contributed to the flavors as well as where in Italy the recipe came from. While some restaurants treat olive oil with bread like a standard addition that needs no explanation, they took the time to make theirs both unique and enlightening. I selected the bucatini, but also got to try some of my girlfriends gnocchi. Also worth noting is that with your pasta dishes you can order a cheese cloud choosing from either Parmesan or Romano and yes it is definitely worth it. Cap off all the delicious food with a great wine and cocktail list, and you have a fantastic dining experience. One of Charlotte's gems for sure!

EDIT (5/27/28): When we entered and sat down, to the bartenders credit, he swiftly asked us what we wanted. As we were describing the general vibe of the drinks we wanted, the attitude of the bartender manifested as very condescending and lacking in general back-and-forth discourse. Despite the dismissive attitude, but after the drinks were made, we attempted to thank the bartender, but his only response was a derisive chortle before walking off. For the remainder of our stay, he was flirting with some female patrons at the other end of the bar. Sharing pictures, conversation, and general good service while we were ignored until we asked for the check to pay and leave as quickly as possible.

There's outdoor seating, and initially we wanted to sit outside but we didn't have reservations. Luckily, they seated us at a small corner section near the back of the bar. It's very cozy and intimate inside. Just my type of vibe. The service was top tier. They were unable to validate our parking because of some sort of discrepancy with the signage outside and lack of having the proper equipment for validation. To make up for it, they offered us complimentary champagne to start. We were not expecting that, and pleasantly surprised! Their menu has an eclectic selection of cocktails, both full and mini. We opted to order from the mini cocktail menu, and we each ordered two drinks. I had the Creepy cucumber cocktail and it was refreshingly sweet and probably my favorite drink of the night. I also ordered the Don't Shy Away which was a sour and spicy rum concoction with carrot in it. It was definitely spicy and had a puréed texture. I really enjoyed it. And, then don't get me started on the music!!! The dj was masterful. He played all the types of music I love and he mixed them in such a refreshing way. I ended up asking him for his contact information before leaving, and whether he does weddings because my fiancé and I are currently looking for a DJ. He was just that good. This would definitely be my spot if I lived here in Charlotte. It was the perfect way for us to end the night.

This needs to be addressed on the FAQ page on their website, insane it isn't listed already. The drinks were the most meh drinks I've ever had. Their menu looks incredible, but the cocktails were so mediocre. Nothing special, I didn't even like my Pear Cosmo it just tasted like straight lime juice. Two of my friends got the Spicy Margarita and they tasted completely different. One was insanely spicy, the other wasn't spicy at all. Took 15 minutes for a server to come over and acknowledge and take drink orders. Seemed like lots of miscommunication on which servers had which table. As one would come over, the other would check in less than 30 seconds later. The vibe inside is cute but super strange that they didn't steam/iron the green curtains which are a big centerpiece for the room... you can see the crease marks on the curtains from where they were taken out of the package folded.
