This was the most amazing meal we ate in three weeks in Italy -- and we ate loads of great food…read more L'Evangelista is a vey upscale restaurant on a quiet street a block off the main pedestrian thoroughfare. While it follows the form of apertivo, primi, segundi, dolci, this is not traditional Italian cuisine but what I've seen termed as "Italian contemporary cuisine." That means world class, innovative food. And we loved it. Simone Ferrigno, the manager, greeted us when we arrived and seated us at an elegantly laid out table. We ordered wine and our food, and the show began with beautiful dish after beautiful dish. And fabulous wines. We chatted with the German couple at the next table who had ordered the vegan tasting menu and they were in heaven. Alas I cannot for the life of me find the receipt with the names of the dishes we ordered. If I find it, I'll update my review. I'll just say this, exquisite food, world-class service in a beautiful ambience. After we had paid our bill (thank goodness the dollar is up relative to the Euro) and we started walking away, Simone ran after us to ask how our experience was and to thank us for our patronage. Note: A reservation is essential at L'Evangelista. I just noticed that Yelp has two Euro symbols to indicate the price is moderate. I'd actually give it four Euro symbols. L'Evangelista is not for you if you're on a tight a budget.

Received a complimentary appetizer of Serrano ham and cabbage and started off with a great glass of Amarone from a smaller producer, Rubinelli Vajol.

Only improvement would be to disallow smoking, even outside. It was really unfortunate to try to enjoy this meal next to smokers. They finished eating and sat for another hour ruining people's sense of taste. I recommend fully but sit inside where you won't have the smoke.

It was not bad in the sense that it was fresh; however, it was overcooked --coming from California, it was definitely far below my expectations. My spouse had the tagliatelle, which was good. The wine list is on an iPad, which makes it a little bit cumbersome to navigate. Most of the guests in my party wanted to have wine by the glass, which was not intuitive on the iPad. The location is very central, but this restaurant is tucked inside of a building that houses multiple businesses -- it has a neon sign that is grammatically problematic in English. That lended to the sense of pretentiousness that characterized the entire meal. I was grateful for the small cookies at the end of the meal, but by the time the check came, I was just ready to run out the door. All in all in exhausting night.

We didn't have a reservation, but luckily the staff kindly allowed us to squeeze in for a course before the busy Italian dinner hour around 7:30. We really appreciated the gesture and their hospitality. With so many restaurants to choose from, it can be hard to find a place that feels genuinely local while also delivering great quality. We ordered the bigoli pasta and the beef cheeks, and both were phenomenal. Everything was delicious, and we were so happy we managed to squeeze in. Definitely worth seeking out--especially if you're looking for a quieter, authentic spot away from the crowds! No pictures of our food because we ate them so quickly! But trust me, they are amazing!

It was quiet when we arrived at noon and then filled up quite a lot by the time we departed. Clearly, a restaurant for the locals. First course, a big pile of a pasta called "bigolini" which I've not seen before. It is like thick spaghetti with a rough surface. That is needed because the sauce on it was quite thick and another interesting taste - nettles. Definitely different. Second course, risotto made with a red wine reduction. Very flavorful and rich and the pasta was perfectly al dente. We'll definitely need to return to here for dinner! [Review 16980 overall - 185 in Italy - 496 of 2022.]

The restaurant is very cute (free WiFi) and homey feeling with an exposed brick interior and interesting decoration choices throughout the space. If you're so inclined there's also and outdoor patio area. Maybe we just ordered poor menu items but the food was underwhelming and not particularly standout. For our anti pasta course we went with the cured meat trio with polenta. The meats weren't particularly good and combined with the bland polenta it just wasn't a good combo. For our primi pasta course we had the bigoli in a horse (yes horse) bolognese sauce. Of our three dishes this was the best. For our main meat course with did horse cheeks braised in an Amarone wine sauce with polenta. I didn't like the polenta any better on our second dish and the cheek just didn't do it for me. I ended up leaving the bulk of the dish uneaten. All in all-maybe I just ordered poorly but I if I ever make it back to Verona this spot will be a pass for me.
