Let them pick your wine. Unless you know wine. But they made great choices with every course. more

Just returned from a weekend in Boston. After reading thru countless restaurant reviews, we decided to make the trek out to Cambridge to EVOO. It was the end of restaurant week. I ordered off the menu, while my fiancee chose a la carte. I had the asparagus and duck proscuitto, which was interesting. The main dish were scallops (very nicely... more

I went to EVOO this past weekend with a friend and ordered off of their $35 menu (which they also can do with wine for $50). The food was really great, both the appetizer and my entree were cooked very well, and were quite light so I didn't feel very stuffed afterwards. The desserts were REALLY somethign special. Despite ordering... more

If the wait at nearby Dali is too long, consider coming here for a quieter atmosphere and a change of culinary pace. Gordon Ramsey would be proud: the culinary team prepares local, fresh, often organic food without over-preparing or over-seasoning it. The atmosphere is a bit sparse and the acoustics a bit echo-y, and be prepared for the artsy, eclectic... more

This is my second time here. Both visits have been excellent. The food is great with a wide variety of choices. And unlike many upscale resturants the portions are not to small. Service was also good with a friendly waitress who was not overbearing and did not rush you or make you wait. A Meal for two including wine and... more

EVOO is a great place not too far from Inman and Harvard Square. The atmosphere is quite nice and cozy. The menu changes to reflect fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, which is great. Additionally, the fixed menu items can be chosen from for a 3 course, including an appetizer, entree and dessert for only $35. This is a great deal... more

I wasn't blown away here. The service was really slow and the food wasn't as exception as I had hoped. I will say that my mussel appetizer was really good, but the lamb I had for dinner wasn't too special. more

It's too bad the facade of this place is very indistinct and over-shadowed by Dali and The Kebab Factory, so few people seem to know how great this place is. It is neither very romantic or happening, but it's great for a small group celebration or for catching up with an old friend while tasting some good upscale food. The... more

Locally-sourced ingredients for freshness that burst with flavor from the dishes. Tip: They have a prix-fixe all the time so you can get a good deal outside of Restaurant Week too. more
