Evangelo's Restaurant: Authentic Italian Pizza & More in Wasilla, AK

One of Wasillas only fancy restaurants. The food is good. I like their pizzas . French dip sandwich was pretty bomb too.

Evangelo's in Palmer is absolutely worth the drive from Anchorage especially for their seafood arabiata, it's that good! The dish is one of my favorites packed with flavor and just the right amount of spice. I also tried their chicken wings tossed in buffalo sauce and crab arthichoke dip with bruschetta bread for appetizer they were excellent too. The friendly and attentive staff make the whole experience even better. Whether you're a local or driving in Evangelo's is a solid spot for delicious food and warm service!

The food, the atmosphere decor, and ambience. Service so much better now. Love the menu options.

My husband and I came in around 8:00pm for date night and I ordered the manicotti and he ordered the special of the day which was steak Alfredo. His Alfredo had a bit of a lemony zing which made me think it was more of a lemon Alfredo, but regardless it was delicious! My manicotti was a bit dry, but the flavor was wonderful! The service was a little rough, our waitress came to take our orders and we didn't see her again until we had to ask another waitress to order dessert. Our original waitress brought the dessert and we got the check and paid while we tried to enjoy our dessert. It became a bit awkward when we were finishing our dessert just before 9 (when they close) and all of a sudden, one of my managers had her coat on, came and saw we were still at the table, then dimmed the lights on us. We felt very rushed and awkward so we hurried to finish eating and then got our stuff and left. Besides the service being awkward, the food was great and we would probably return in hopes of a better service experience!

First time here and the food was great, my husband loved his steak cooked to perfection and juicy, my eggplant parmesan was super! Pricing is reasonable for Wasilla area. Great service, friendly staff

Good service good food really like the esthetic and vibe the waitress was nice and food come out pretty quick

Very pleased with our meal!!! The portions were very large and the meal was simply delicious! Will absolutely come back again soon!

I was one one the last people in the restaurant on a Sunday night but they didn't rush me at all. The portions here are huge some go hungry or be prepared to take food home. The staff were very friendly and attentive. I've tried the chicken parm, chicken Alfredo, and grilled chicken, all of which were good. The menu is mostly Italian-American classics. The crème brûlée isn't bad either.

First visit for us as a couple as we celebrate a belated anniversary (57th) and Valentine's Day. My wife had been one time before with our oldest son before we moved to the Valley. She had been nagging me to bring her back because she enjoyed her meal. They had a Special Valentine's Day Celebration menu with dinner and Special Cocktails. My wife chose the 9oz Filet Mignon from the Valentines menu and I choose the Seafood Arabitta from the regular dinner menu. We started with the stuffed mushrooms appetizer with white wine cream sauce stuffed with lobster and crab. There were six covered in the sauce. They tasted amazing and may be the best I have ever had. The filling was flavorful and just the right consistency. The filling was full of the seafood with just enough binder to have a light flavor but didn't overwhelm the sauce. My wife chose a dinner salad with oil and red wine vinegar. The salad was ample with fresh lettuce, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumber slices and black olives. The dressing came in a carrier so she could add as much or as little to her taste. I had a cup of the house minestrone soup which was served hot, well prepared and tasty. It has generous portions of vegetables, white and kidney beans, and pasta that was partially blended and simmered until the flavors blended. It was appropriately spiced expertly done. My wife's dinner entree had a filet cooked medium rare and seasoned. It was tender and juicy. It was accompanied by a large baked potato seasoned with butter and sour cream in packets. On top of the filet was a portion of well cooked and seasoned asparagus. Additionally it included steamed cauliflower, carrots and broccoli. All the vegetables were cooked very well and tasty. My seafood pasta dish came in a pasta bowl covered with sauce and containing fettuccine, several large shrimp, large scallops and fresh mushrooms and a side of garlic bread. The pasta and sauce were well cooked and seasoned and spicy. The menu warned that two of the dinners were hot and spicy. I found it moderately spicy but the waitress had brought jars of crushed red pepper and cheese to add as you desired. The fettuccine was cooked to perfection and 18" long. I found that even with the spoon provided it was difficult to twill in mouthfuls and ended up cutting it my knife. That's not a criticism or bad thing but a sign of excellent pasta possibly house made. It was very good. Another plus is the shrimp were larger than normally found in such dishes and tailless. I dislike when the shrimp have tails on and you have to try to remove the sauce covered shrimp before eating. The difference in price and quality between tail-on shrimp and tail-off is minimal for avoiding the messy removal in a cooked dish. Also both the Shrimp and Sea Scallops were large enough that I had to cut them with my knife to make a reasonable fork full width the pasta. I don't remember ever having to do that before so it of the highest compliment I can give to this restaurant and Chef. Overall everything that we were served tonight was of excellent quality, flavor, quantity and preparation. It was equal to the outstanding service by Heidi W and her male assistant. We seated by a hostess and very shortly greeted by our waitress Heidi. She was friendly and helpful and offered our drinks which she promptly served after she brought us ice water. She took our appetizer and dinners orders. From the point she served or water and drinks our glasses were never empty. She repeated observed our glasses and promptly asked if we wanted refills. She served our appetizer, then our soup and salad just as we finished the appetizer. When we finished our soup and salad she promptly served our main course. Between each course our dishes were cleared and condiments changed. When we showed signs of being full her assistant asked if we needed go boxes and then offered to take our plates and return with the filled boxes and a bag to carry them in without our asking. I can only evaluate our wait staff as outstanding and the best I have had in several years. I know this evaluation is long but I feel that I had to give as good an evaluation as the service and food earned. I have eaten in a few five star restaurants around the world in my fifty years of travel but never expected this quality in Wasilla, AK. There are very few restaurants in Alaska that compare to here. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone that wants an outstanding experience at a reasonable moderate price. They accept reservations and I would recommend them on weekends and holidays. Allow you can be accommodated without them. They have a large dining area and parking lot. Full bar, wine take out service and especially for take out of their pizza which we observed several being picked up. Sadly they do not offer a senior or military discount but that is not unusual for restaurants of this quality.
