We were kindly served Happy Hour indoors due to the cold weather, although Happy Hour is usually served in the bar/patio. Food was delicious, especially the pizzetta with vegan béchamel and vegan cheese. Food selections change seasonally and are consistently excellent. Didn’t give 5 stars on ambience because it was a bit cold inside the restaurant and noisy.

After giving the server mild ribbing over the soft serve “swirl” actually not being a swirl and that the cookies that normally accompany not present, the manager came by and offered some cookies that had been set aside (baker was absent that day) and to comp us the non-swirl swirl. We accepted the cookies and declined the comp, but it was a GREAT gesture!

I hadn’t been to Evvia in years and it was so great to go back. My friend and I shared a bunch of appetizers: meatballs, octopus, roasted beets and the butternut squash. The octopus was fantastic as were the meatballs. We each had a glass of wine and the whole meal was $100. Will definitely do that again.
