Evviva Trattoria Maynard

I have been to 3 other Evviva’s (Marlboro, Westford, Stoneham) and today at Maynard. Like other locations, the service and food is always delicious. Ordered the Fried Ravioli (comes with 6 Crispy Deano's Cheese Ravioli, Creamy Calabrian Pepper Sauce) and Calamari Fritti (1/2 Pound Of Crispy Calamari, Cherry Peppers, Lemon, Creamy Romesco). Mixed and matched the sauces (also shown is the oil for the rolls - a hidden gem that they don’t advertise).

Evviva Trattoria in Maynard has a genuinely lovely atmosphere — warm, rustic, and authentically Italian in feel, the kind of space that puts you in the mood for a great trattoria meal. The setting is easily the highlight of the visit. The food and service, however, both fall in average territory and don't quite live up to the charm of the surroundings. The Italian dishes are pleasant but lack the depth and authenticity you'd hope for, and the service could be more attentive. With improvements in both areas, Evviva could be a true local gem.

I hate writing negative reviews, but the pizza we got was so bad, I couldn’t hold back. I ordered takeout pizza for the Super Bowl, and I arrived about 15 mins early prior to the scheduled pickup time. The staff was very kind and professional, letting me know that the pizza was not yet put in the oven. To me this was a good sign, it’ll be fresher, no complaints. I ordered two pizzas, one custom (goat cheese, prosciutto, diced tomato, red onion and green pepper) and one normal pepperoni pizza. First off, the custom pizza was missing the prosciutto, which I paid for (they charge you per topping), and then instead of diced tomatoes, they gave us large thick cut slices (not the end of the world, but not what we ordered). Also, the pizza was criminally undercooked, the dough was borderline raw

Amazing food. Great service overall. Pretty slow bar. After a wait, I walked to the bathroom and tried to stop at the bar but the bartender was nowhere in sight, the manager made the drinks and was very apologetic and sweet when she brought them over.

Very nice restaurant, took my wife for dinner. Our server Meg was great, the food was awesome and the prices were very reasonable. The Risotto texture was a little mushy, it tasted great it was just a texture observation. I would skip the sausage, it tasted fine I just didn't think it was a value. The salmon was cooked to perfection The Raviolis were more filling than expected, plenty of left overs, and they tasted out of this world!
