TOUR DE ITALIA

They say home is where the heart is. Family is our first connection to the world: it’s where the foundation is laid for us to evolve into the people we are meant to be, providing the love that develops the things that we strive for. The Evo Family began with Chef Erik’s Grandparents, a duo of Italian immigrants hailing from Mastretta, and Acri, Calabria. In honor of the foundation and heart of Evo’s traditions, we are taking you on a culinary journey through beginning September 1, 2020. During this journey, we will make many discoveries: the origins of the artisanal dishes we love, the cocktails we crave, and the wines we savor. Your senses will enjoy this culinary vacation as we capture the essence of being immersed in Italian culture.
