Evangelista In Roma

We really love Evangelista! This restaurant has the best carciofo al mattone ever! The atmosphere is a real 1960 Dolce Vita feeling with a touch of contemporary style.

The Evangelista restaurant is a magical place where you can relax, eating excellent food and listening to excellent music in the background, never banal. Let's start with the service: punctual, courteous, professional. The staff are all welcoming and Mrs. Adele and her daughter Giulia know how to do the honors of the house, making you feel at ease. The first time I discovered this place, I ate the tomato soup and I will never forget the feeling I felt at the first taste, because a smile appeared on my face. I grew up in the mountains, near Amatrice and I have always been used to eating freshly picked fruits and vegetables. Here, in their dishes I felt all that authenticity, the love for cooking, the attention to detail, the respect for flavours, to which I have always been accustomed. We ate a vignarola with crispy "amatrice" bacon, an artichoke cooked in brick, anchovy and chicory meatballs, accompanied by a tomato flavored with rosemary, a sliced ​​beef fillet with red wine, rosemary, and thin potatoes and a Baked leg of lamb with juniper berries and thin potatoes. To finish we had a bitter caramel semifreddo with almond brittle. I'm getting hungry just writing down what I ate but I swear that last night I would have had everything on the menu. The place is very intimate and private so you can enjoy each dish in absolute tranquility, having a chat with your partner or simply letting yourself be carried away by the suggestive atmosphere that surrounds you.

This is only the second time in my life that I've ever eaten artichoke and both times was at this place.I hate vegetables, but it was amazing! Highly recommend this place.

Andavo i questo ristorante negli anni '70 quando c'era ancore Evangelista ed era una trattoria buona senza troppe pretese. Sono tornata a distanza di 40 anni, ci sono la figlia e la nipote gentilissime e competenti. Il cibo che abbiamo preso era raffinato e ottimo (un pò scarse le porzioni) il clima perfetto, rimasto minimalista e senza chiasso, come purtroppo di solito sono le trattorie romane, unico neo i bagni non sono allo stesso livello del cibo. Il costo del pasto è piuttosto alto: noi abbiamo preso due antipasti - carciofo al mattone, un assaggino di vignarola (1/4 di porzione normale) e un dolce con un unica bottiglia di vino in cinque e neanche cara. Abbiamo pagato 55 euro a testa.

This was one of the best meals that I’ve ever had! Surprising, hugely tasteful and beautifully presented. The environment is intimate, extremely friendly and with beautiful art on the walls. Very high class.

Complements certainly for the very good and well prepared food (we ate the brick artichokes which can only be found there, the soup of the day - which was based on artichokes - the leg of lamb and chicory salad in anchovy sauce and pomegranate, and for dessert the bitter caramel semifreddo with almond brittle), for the availability and kindness with which they served us, in a refined environment but which made us feel at home from miles away. Highly recommended

This restaurant came highly recommended by a tour guide in Rome. We arrived right when they opened and they greeted us even without a reservation. This is a small family restaurant, with an elegant atmosphere and delicious food. We started with the artichoke, pasta and shared dessert. The bitter caramel dessert we had was one of the best things I have ever eaten. Please don't miss Evangelista when you are in Rome. The food was excellent and the service was perfect. Highly recommend for a lovely meal.
