Evangelista In Roma

Evangelista in via delle Zoccolette is a must-visit for anyone passionate about artichokes (carciofi) and the rich culinary traditions of the city. While the famous Carciofo alla Giudia from the Jewish Ghetto is widely celebrated, Evangelista offers a truly unique twist with their “carciofo al mattone”—brick artichoke. This technique is genially simple: the artichoke is gently pressed under a heated brick while it cooks, creating a perfect contrast between a golden, crispy exterior and an incredibly tender, flavorful heart. The result is a dish that truly showcases the essence of this beloved Roman ingredient, enhanced by the finest olive oil, garlic, and aromatic herbs. Beyond the carciofi, the restaurant’s menu is a testament to Jewish-Roman cuisine, with carefully prepared dishes that respect centuries-old flavors. Evangelista also caters to gluten-free diners, offering a delicious gluten-free Pasta alla Gricia, a rare find in the city. Their commitment to high-quality ingredients and traditional flavors makes every dish memorable. The warm, welcoming atmosphere provided by Signora Adele and her daughter makes every meal here a special experience. If you’re in Rome and want to discover artichokes like never before, this is the place to be!

Wonderful family run, traditional Italian restaurant. Delicious food, agreeable surroundings and super nice people. I’ll definitely revisit (would go now if I could)!

10/10 en utrolig koselig og fin restaurant. Fikk god service og god mat. Ikke den typiske italienske pizza pasta, men veldig god. Anbefaler å teste dette stede, man kan nyte maten uten for mye bråk.

Excellent food, competent and friendly staff.
