Which EVO did we review?

This review is of EVO North Scottsdale, at 15507 N Scottsdale Rd, Suite 100, just north of Kierland. We’ve corrected the address and phone number below, which previously pointed to the original EVO on Goldwater Boulevard in Old Town (4175 N Goldwater Blvd). That one is a separate restaurant, and we haven’t reviewed it yet.

What to order at EVO North now (menu checked October 2026)

The lobster gnocchi we wrote about isn’t on EVO North’s current menu. Here’s what we’d order today:

• Lobster & Shrimp Tortellini: the closest thing to the lobster gnocchi.
• Chicken Parm: we had it on our visit and it’s still on the menu.
• Short Rib Ragu or the Bolognese if you want a hearty pasta.
• Pizzas like the Margherita and the Diavolo for the table.
• The pasta is house-made, and you can swap in gluten-free pasta or zucchini noodles at no charge.

Check the EVO North website for the current menu.
