I can’t begin to explain how beautiful this restaurant is. Everything about it is perfect. Went there for new year’s eve and had such a good evening. The food was amazing, I had the lasagna and my partner the jerk spaghetti. It is different from...the traditional Italian food (which I think is a positive, since trying the Jamaican take on Italian food is a better experience than just italian food in Jamaica). Everything was delicious. The staff is so friendly, the view incredible. If you are in Ocho Rios you cannot miss itMore

Such delicious food, really reasonably priced for how good it is. We came for dinner and were so full we couldn’t even eat dessert (and we always have dessert!). The portions for the mains are huge. It’s such a lovely site overlooking the town.

Made an unplanned visit to Evita's and it made me remember why it's my favourite place to dine in Ochi. The salmon pasta was delectable - with enough salmon to include a piece in almost every forkful. The server was also polite and gave good...customer service.More

Such an excellent place. Been going there every time I’m in Ocho rios. Evita passed sadly but the food was just as perfect. Had the suprema linguini and lasagna. Delicious! Great views and very peaceful place to chill for awhile. Blended fruit punch and pina...colada excellent! The service was great. You must go for a special treat! Prices within range.More

Delicious food and great service…..we always go for one of the Jamaican/Italian fusion pasta dishes, because, where else can you find that done to perfection? Evita passed recently and her welcoming presence is missed, but she left a professional staff of servers and chefs. Photos...of Evita with celebrities from around the world adorn the walls. Our waiter, ‘Shaka’ Onfroy has a permanent smile and made the evening a smooth and pleasant experience.More

Thank god we found Evita’s. We have had only terrible restaurant experiences in Ocho Rios until tonight. We had almost given up and resigned ourselves to a diet of Juici Patties and jerk chicken from street vendors (which is delicious!), but this evenings meal was...exceptional. Thank you! A little hidden, but worth the walk up a dark curvey street. Fresh pastas, fresh fish, delicious desserts.More

The best view, excellent service and some delicious food. We arrived without a reservation but it was off season, we were given a table with the most amazing view over Ochi. My starter of Jamaican viagra (salt fish cakes) was good, my other half's soup...was also delicious. We were served bread with garlic and herb butter and a homemade cheese dip, this was amazing. Of the three mains we had, Jerk Chicken pasta, seafood risotto and shrimp rundown pasta, the rundown pasta was the standout dish and I'd come back next time I'm in Ochi just for this. All in all this was our favourite meal in our 2 weeks in Jamaica, I'd highly recommend you visit if you can.More

The food was surprisingly good and seasoned just right. I had the Jamaican Shrimp Spaghetti, my wife had the Grilled Fish in Coconut milk. The Tiramisu was great and served in a wine glass. I wish it was a bit bigger. Although, it is a...bit out of the way up a hill in Ocho Rios. Do not be put off by the exterior looking unkept, the pandemic hurt most businesses. However, the interior looks clean and nice. It is a nice place on the hill somewhat overlooking the town. Get some pictures if you can. If you plan to walk like I did, make sure you can navigate hills and curves. There are no sidewalks, so you will be in the road, watch out for oncoming traffic. No street lights, so I recommend using a taxi, definitely a lot safer and smart.More

just up a block or two off Ochi's chaotic Main St lies this hidden gem. It's a lovely, rather surprisingly authentic , Italian restaurant. I was drawn to the front patio seating as the views of the town below, the harbor, and the beach were...lovely. The food was superb and as I own a little rental at Sandcastles (E30), I recommend to all my guests that they eat here.More

I sent Evita a message through Facebook messenger and she responded quickly to answer a few questions. So I went to Evita’s on March 19th, 2022. I made it in time to see the sun set over Ocho Rios as Evita put us at the...perfect table on the deck overlooking the city. This restaurant is in a unique house in the hills of Ochi. It is quaint and comfy. The mahogany bar is beautiful and as we looked at pictures on the wall, we saw that this place has had many visitors to include the Rolling Stones, LL Cool J, and Brad Pitt. The vibe is right and the food and drinks were tasty. The food is Italian but with a Jamaican flair and all freshly made. Thanks Evita for making our night special.More

We came here curious about how Jamaicans did Italian food and we were not disappointed! We had the smoked Marlin appetizer which was very delicious! I had the gluten free pasta with shrimp cooked in coconut milk and it was so good I ate every...last noodle! My husband had the pasta with lobster and shrimp and he also loved it. The service was great, the view and ambiance was beautiful, relaxing and festive for the holidays with super cute decorations. The owner stopped by our table to say hi and ask how everything was which was really nice. We definitely recommend this place to everyone and we will absolutely eat here again!nMore

We never made reservations but if there was a cruise ship in then I think you should make reservations - which you can do on line or phone :)
