Fresh, Local, Inviting
Come by, sit back and relax while we create something beautiful to eat. We believe that great food doesn't need to some with a tie and a jacket. Whether you are stopping by for a cocktail after work, enjoying a spontaneous weekday date night, or you have something to celebrate, we've got a seat for you at EVO. We started this restaurant for the "JOY OF EATING." We have traveled the world, and look to bring the european flavors and techniques we know and love entwined with a dash of our home - New England.
"A bite, a sip and you can't help but smile. This is the kind of place you continue to talk about the entire car ride home.
Definitely worth eating."

THE EXPERIENCE
EXCEPTIONAL FOOD & COCKTAILS
Whatever you may fancy, at EVO we take the fuss out of european traditional favorites and deliver an exciting twist on pastas, butcher-cut meats, and seafood. We have something for everyone, even your guilty-pleasure smash burger.
CRAFT COCKTAILS
Whether you’re in the mood for something smoky, spicy, or dangerously smooth, we’ve got a cocktail with your name on it (figuratively… unless you bribe the bartender). So sip, savor, and try not to fall in love—we’re not responsible for any questionable texts sent under the influence of our genius mixology.
RAW BAR & CRUDO
We've got the freshest oysters we can find, colossal shrimp cocktail, and chef-inspired crudo dishes. Don;t know what crudo is? Think SUSHI but ITALIAN and deconstructed. Signature raw fish dishes married with oils, vinegars, herbs and other accompaniments.
WINE
Our wine program is thoughtfully curated to complement every dish and delight every palate. We pride ourselves in having one of the best selections in Southern NH. Each bottle has been carefully selected to reflect quality, character and balance --offering a diverse range of varietals and regions to elevate your experience.
PRIVATE EVENTS
Want to throw a private event that people will actually talk about (for all the right reasons)? Whether it’s a birthday, corporate gathering, or just an excuse to get your favorite people together, we’ll make sure your event is nothing short of legendary and you'll look like a party-planning genius!

TABLE TALK
"A Memorable Dining Experience"
Ull of the staff members we interacted with were super friendly and helpful! The overall atmosphere was very nice too. Dim lit, great music, and the overall aesthetic was very nice. The gnocchis were so delicious and pillowy soft with their sauce and so were the citrus greens. I cleared my plate lol.

"Fresh, Flavorful, and Fantastic"
Absolutely exceeded my expectations! The entire staff were knowledgeable and personable. From the appetizers to the mains, everything was excellent. This will be our new go to spot in the area. TRY THE BEEF RIB. TRUST ME.

"A NIGHBORHOOD GEM"
If I could give this restaurant 15 stars I would! It has been an incredibly long time since my wife and I have been to a restaurant and had an amazing experience from appetizer to dessert. Everything was a flavor combination and was like the best rollercoaster of flavors the entire time.
