I think it's unfair to rate places like Evviva the same way one might rate a typical "foodie" restaurant, so this review should be viewed relative to other chain, family-style restaurants. Evviva is spacious, service is fast, and food comes in generous portions. Three of us shared a roasted harvest salad, orecchiette, and a large hot honey pizza. A bit salty, oily, and overdressed, but the dishes were easily enough to fill all three of us and the food came out fast despite how surprisingly busy the place was on a random Tuesday night. Nice place for a family dinner or to meet with a big group of friends. We'll be back when the occasion calls for it because you know what you're going to get at this restaurant. read more

I'd actually give it a 3.5 rating but Yelp doesn't allow for that. Service was great, restaurant was large with outdoor patio seating, bathrooms are clean, ample parking. As for food, we had someone who is gluten free so they offer a separate menu, which I greatly appreciate. It's a full menu too, not just a few salads and such. They offer sandwiches on gluten free focaccia, meatballs, pasta, and such. We ordered the gluten free cheesy bread which was fine. Nothing remarkable. We also ordered the gluten free wings as appetizer. These were good. We ordered the bacon and Gorgonzola salad which was the best dish of the table. The chicken parmigiana (their specialty) was nothing special. Tasted like boxed pasta with jarred sauce. Chicken was average sized, pounded thin. Our GF diner ordered the meatballs diavalo (gluten free). Pasta was gummy. Meatballs were decent. Rating the food on its own, it's a solid 3.0. However with service and atmosphere, I gave a slightly higher rating read more

We came here for an after party from a tournament only reason giving three stars is because the waiter hustled they only gave us one waiter for twenty people which is absurd. Meals were forgotten appetizers and drinks were too. Management came out and tried to give a free entree instead of taking money off of our bill for forgetting entrees. I verbally suggested it and nothing was done. They had live music which was playing 70's music and had the fifa cup on for the kids to enjoy. I had the meatball appetizer which was ok - not tons of flavor but the meat was soft Huge flop was the salmon - in the picture you can see it looks like it's floating in soup that's butter Definitely won't be back They have plenty of parking Take large parties but beware read more

We were starving so no pictures but what a fabulous Italian meal. The arancini and eggplant parm was WOW! Mocktails equally as yummy. Don't pass on the bread it was the perfect thing to enjoy th sauce left over. Great service and light and airy in the restaurant. Definitely will be back. read more

Very bright and vibrant layout, our waitress was super pleasant and super attentive. Met up with a few clients for a late lunch and they picked this restaurant for the location being close to their lodging. The menu had a lot of great items to choose from. It was a tough to choose there was so many items I wanted to try. Everyone ordered something different from what I can see and everything looked really good. I can only write on what I ordered and it was the seafood risotto. I ordered the half portion only. I enjoyed the dish very much and now that I've been here I've bookmarked the restaurant for my next travel to this area. read more

First time here, I started with a roasted harvest salad and then had orecchiette for my entree. Both were tasty! The portions were large and I was stuffed! Our waitress did a great job considering the whole section was filled on a Tuesday night. There was a mix of families and a work event going on, but it wasn't that loud. I didn't go into the bar area, but it was a lot of space. read more

I wanted to eat Italian and we found this place while we were exploring. Once we got there, we were seated right away. We ordered the Brussels sprouts appetizer and it came out pretty quickly. It was shredded with bits of prosciutto but I'm not sure what the dressing was for it. I enjoyed it and it was enough for three people. I like that they have lunch and dinner portion. I ordered the shrimp scampi lunch portion and my sister ordered the gnocchi lunch portion. The shrimp scampi was the perfect portion for me and there was probably like five shrimp or so! They didn't skimp on the shrimp which I really appreciate. The gnocchi looked good and my sister finished her dish and had no complaints. The mushroom ravioli was also ordered and that was the regular dinner portion. The ravioli were huge but it was completely finished. Overall, I would definitely recommend checking out this place if you're in the area and want Italian food. read more

They did a great job with our large group. They were on top of drink orders, refills, etc and the food all came out perfectly timed which we appreciated. They have a separate full gluten free menu and offered several traditional pasta dishes with gf pasta. Everyone in our group seemed to enjoy their entrees. The short rib risotto was delicious. It was also a very large portion, which is rare these days. Nice atmosphere that feels casual but upscale at the same time. Added bonus - it is across the parking lot from one of the last remaining Friendly's locations. read more

3.5 stars if I could. Overall, the food was a little bit higher and chain Italian food. The service was fantastic very timely, Very kind waiter. Refilled waters brought the food in a promptly manner. The ambience was super busy, but it was a Friday night. I was able to get in without a reservation around 6- 7pm. I had the gnocchi which was very good and the chicken Parmesan, which was pretty average. read more

"Fried calamari" starter should be called fried jalapeno. Twice as many peppers than squid.

Love this location as the bar area is very spacious and comfortable. Dining area is also very large. The food and drinks are very good, and there are a ton of different options for Italian food lovers. Pretty good beer selection with at least 20 different draft lines, and cocktail list is lengthy and includes multiple seasonal selections. The cheesy garlic bread served with marinara sauce is a must and the chicken cacciatore was very good. Will definitely visit again if in the area! read more

Evviva Trattoria - bad cheese pizza - Italian Near Me - Marlborough, Massachusetts

I have to say I was a bit disappointed in the food here. I really thought it was going to be above average fast casual Italian, and I feel like I've had better food at fast food Italian restaurants. My waitress was nice and attentive and I never had to wait terribly long for anything. The fried cheese appetizer was great although buried pretty heavily under the arugula garnish. I expected the gnocchi florentine to have an abundance of flavor based off the ingredients, and it was disappointingly bland. I added on a side of meatballs which were extremely over seasoned and barely edible. The tiramisu was a redeeming factor as it was pretty good and quite large for the price. Definitely not a place I'd go to again, and if I had to for some reason I'd order completely different items in hopes of them tasting better. read more

Service sucks it took 2hrs to get my food and the waitress have no idea what they are talking about and they are rude

I am gluten free and while they do have an extensive gluten free menu, it was not the greatest quality of food. Absolutely worth a stop if you need the options but hopefully there are better gluten free options in the area. read more

First time there and it was very good . I thought it was an order at a counter and then get your food etc.... Man ,was I wrong . Food was really good . Chicken piccata was huge , a lot of chicken and pasta. Eggplant parm sandwich was good too . Pesto made it a little different than usual . Has a little bit of a casual Olive Garden vibe but the food was 100x better than the OG . Would definitely recommend and would return . read more

One of the best restaurant chains there is! Evviva never disappoints! They have a stellar menu with options for everyone. I have a hard time deviating from my favorite, the Evviva club sandwich, a sandwich of absolute perfection. You can't go wrong with the pizza here though. I've tried that as well, and it tastes as good as it looks. The portions will leave you full, which is unfortunately a bonus these days. The service is always outstanding here. I've been here on many occasions, and I've never had a bad waiter/waitress. My favorite time to go is in the summer when I can enjoy the outdoor seating. However, their inside has a casual but sleek atmosphere and is perfect for any occasion. read more

First of all Grace was lovely, she was sure to ask if we had any allergies before getting our orders, seemed to know tons about the menu & helped me pick out my drink! Thank you!! I love how Evviva has small/large portions for most dishes, the "smalls" are actually a great portion size i still have to take my food home! I definitely recommend the lasagna fritters, the caesar salad & the gnocchi florentine (I add a crispy chicken cutlet to mine) but I had a spicy margarita here once and its no longer on the menu and I'm going to need it back ASAP ;) read more

Service was very good. However the food quality was bad to mediocre. We were with a group (8) and ordered a variety of dishes. From pastas, to chicken marsala, to short ribs etc. Nothing was outstanding and some of the meals were just pathetic in presentation. Like the chicken Marsala was mixed in with a bowl of spaghetti. The prices were fairly high and nothing was outstanding. The appetizers werw mediocre. Inside the place looks pretty nice. I would say this is a bertuccis trying to act fancier. read more

Thanks to the Manager for responding to my comment. However, if you want to improve get quality food. Even the garlic bread was a joke. On top of all this if you're going to serve this quality drop the price it is ridiculous. What you're charging read more

I have eaten here 4 times over the past 4 years and it has always been good. Good food and good service... also very comfortable environment... That all changed this week when Ordered the Salmon served over Spaghetti Squash and not pasta. Wow is all I can say... Bursting with freshness and flavor. I was with 5 coworkers so we had a big table. Service was a little slow but the attitude of our server made up for it. He was a rockstar... I now have a favorite dish!!! I was in town on business but I am up here 4 times a year. This will now be on my list.... YUM!!! read more

We ordered a group lunch from here for work--things were a bit slow, and a few orders were missing or mixed up, which was definitely a little frustrating. That said, the food itself was really good. I had the Italiano sandwich with chips (ordered a dip on the side that never showed up), but even without it, the sandwich and chips were both pretty good. The bread was soft, and the chips were nice and crunchy. I went back another day for dinner and had a much better experience. The eggplant fries were amazing--crispy, flavorful, and hard to stop eating. I also had the lasagna, which was comforting and delicious. Drinks were decent, too. While this might not be my first pick every time, there's definitely good food here. I wouldn't mind coming back. read more

Not worth the price. Chicken parm $24 was average. Cheap on the chicken. One piece that wasn't even fully covered in cheese. Lots of spaghetti. The whipped ricotta was the star. I was expecting to toss it but it was flavorful and the best part. The salad was nice as well. Roasted peppers, mozzarella balls, great olives. read more

It was my Fiance and I's first time and we had Joe as a server. He was so nice, funny, a great server. I have gluten and dairy allergies and he was so good at accommodating me. The food was very good and the kitchen was good at working with my allergies. I spilled a drink and another staff member helped me pretty quickly. We went during a busy time and everything came out at a good pace. It was a little loud but it was peak dinnertime. Highly recommend and we will be returning. read more

Our dining experience was outstanding. Our server Vladimir did an incredible job. Very personable. I highly recommend the braised short ribs with risotto and The eggplant fries. If that doesn't float your boat, I suggest you have the earth & turf. I highly recommend this trattoria. The atmosphere is great, all of the staff is so, from Hostess, bartender and the servers. I will be back again. read more

I went to Evviva Trattoria while on a trip with a few others. We started off our meal by getting some Cheesy Garlic Bread and I got a house made lemonade with lavender. The gluten free cheesy bread was amazing! I was worried for a second that it wasn't gluten free. For an entree I got a gluten free pesto and it was great too. I did get worried because I found 2 normal noodles in the mix of penne pasta and I now think they were also gluten free since I didn't get sick but I wasn't sure while I was eating the food. I got a large bowl of the pesto pasta and I didn't end up finishing it all. The service was a little slow but the waiter was nice and the inside of the restaurant was as well. The parking lot does get packed because there are other restaurants around so we had to park further away from the restaurant. Next time I try this restaurant I'll save room for the gluten free dessert. read more

We had a great experience and the food was amazing. It's a family friendly place. Service was excellent.

My family was in town for an event, and we came here for dinner. It was very crowded so we put our name on the list and left. When called back, we returned and they couldn't figure out who called us. Finally seated after another delay. The food was fine. I ordered the veal Marsala. This is a rather simple dish to make and only requires a few quality ingredients. Yet this version was bland. There was no taste of Marsala wine in the sauce. My family all ordered entrees that were good, not great. Prices were high. Note that the atmosphere was very, very loud and no conversation could be had. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant unless you go at an off time when it's less noisy and crowded. read more

We ordered the chicken piccata, bolognese, seafood risotto, shrimp scampi, and chocolate flourless cake. All of the food was delicious, and if based purely on that I would be giving this restaurant 5 stars. The three stars is an average between the two I'd give for service. We got there on a Saturday night at 7:40pm, and didn't end up leaving until after 9pm, while the restaurant was essentially empty. Our waitress, "potts," (on the receipt), was completely absent and inattentive. It took 10 minutes to get water and 7 for her to come get the card for the check. Mind you, she was not busy, but instead just talking to other coworkers throughout the restaurant. I don't know if we could have been any more obvious about our disappointment as we were clearly observed looking around for her at times, but even when she made eye contact, she didn't seem inclined to do anything differently. We got to 110 Grill all of the time and have never once had an issue with service so this was beyond disappointing. read more

Good food, great service, reasonable price. Definitely coming back again. Special accommodation made for many different allergies.

I was actually a bit apprehensive about coming here because I had heard some not so great things about this restaurant but I'm happy to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was absolutely delicious, I typically don't finish my food at restaurants because portions are so large but this time I ate everything but the plate! The short rib was so flavorful and tender, they did everything right. The place was empty which is great but I went on a weekday afternoon so I'm pretty sure they are usually a little busier than that. Our server was friendly and swift with getting our order. I wouldn't mind returning here again. read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I have celiac disease and we went here because they claim to have a commitment to safe dining. We arrived at 7;10 for a 7:15 reservation and we were sat at 7:48. Front of house was a disaster and lots of unhappy people waiting. I ordered from the GF menu and stated I have celiac and it is not a preference. The avocado toast (gf bread) came out with the allergy pick in it. The Caesar salad came out with the allergy pick in it. (The pick is like a large toothpick which has the word allergy on it) The salad had croutons which I thought was weird so we asked about it and waitress took it back and said "yeah. That wasn't gluten free". And before I could say a word rushed away. But by then I had eaten one of the pieces of the other dish. IT WAS NOT GLUTEN FREE. I don't even know what to say. And the manager also had no explanation. Now I will be ill all night and this is a MAJOR safety red flag. DO NOT expect compliance to any allergy protocols at this place. NOT safe and not a joke. Gf is not a preference for me. It is a legitimate allergy and very serious. I just hope I won't end up hospitalized. Again we come here for their supposed expertise in allergy awareness. In fact, one of giant televisions over the bar actually runs promos about gluten free Italian. What a mess. ...and 2 of the 4 stalls in the bathroom had no TP and there was no soap at the sink. Bathroom was filthy. read more

Ordered the Salmon Primavera. The salmon tasted old or previously frozen or both. The veggies underneath were more like "morta" (dead) than primavera. They tasted like they had all been steamed together and were swimming in an unidentifyable and tasteless soup. I couldn't tell one veggie taste from another besides the soggy artichokes.I can't believe I spent $30 on this dish and the tastiest thing were the 1/2 dozen seeds on top of the fish. Can't believe I'm eating old fish in a greater Boston area restaurant. I had to wait and signal the server to get another glass of wine. He never came by to ask how the food was. Never even asked when he dropped off the check. I think I know why! No wonder the person I went with who recommended it had a Chicken Parm sandwich. Never again. And although it was only half full, it was loud like a cafeteria. Poor Food. Poor Service. Poor Ambience read more
