“you only get good customer service when you have a big crowd”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 May 2013 NEW

at evitas you can look forward to an enjoyable meal,love their bread and butter,but you are not recognised by evitas herself unless you have a big crowd with you,these ppl let you feel as if you are begging them something and they are so damn expensive,the staff are poorly trained except for mr f***es who tried his best.

I am very sorry that I missed your table, but I assure you that this was not done on purpose. I am glad you enjoyed your meal and our garlic bread, which, incidentally, we do not serve w/ butter but with a special cheese dip. Also, Mr. Folkes who you refer as ‘mr f***es’, after working for us for 15... More

Great view, looking down on Ocho Rios. Food was excellent. I particularly enjoyed the jerk spaghetti. Eva, the owner, came out to greet us personally and she was absolutely delightful. We visited the restaurant twice during out week long stay in Ocho Rios.

“Wonderful food and view!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

We went to Evita's early for dinner on our last trip to Ocho Rios based on Fodor's recommendation. We were not disappointed. We were there on a weeknight, early, so the restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived (one other couple at the bar). By the time we left there were other couples and a family having dinner. We were... More

Thank you Sarah, for your so nice and detailed, review. I am really happy your expectations were met and that you enjoyed my ‘fun’ Jam-Italian fusion dishes. The sauce of the Tirami Su ‘A la Eva’, as I could not find Mascarpone in Jamaica, when I first put this on the Menu, is a combination of Zabaglione, Whipping Cream and... More

Thank you, Helena, for your so nice review and compliment! Yes, I did use my imagination to add Jam-Italian fusion dishes to the traditional Northern Italian Menu and it has proven to be a success: VERY WELL received by both, my Jamaican clientele and visitors to Jamaica, alike. Ciao! Eva More

We went to the restaurant for dinner on our last evening in Ocho Rios and fell in love...with the food, the surroundings, the atmosphere, the service! The food was absolutely delicious from the appetizer to the dessert. We ordered the Fountain of Youth for dessert and it is to die for! We sat on the balcony and gazed out over... More

Thank you so much, for your fabulous review. I am really happy you enjoyed Evita’s food, ambiance, view and service! Yes, also, my stopping by every table helps to see that everything goes well and, if there should be any ‘hiccup’ I can take care of it before patrons leave the restaurant… Ciao! Eva More

“A slice of heaven in town”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 April 2013

The food was amazing, the location, the ambiance. The service was slow and poor. If you're there to relax, settle in, it's going to be a long night. If you're in a hurry, choose somewhere else to go.

Thank you for your review and your comment on the service. I am sorry that the evening you came, for some reason, the service lacked its usual great standards: Murphy’s Law must have stepped in that day…Will make sure to also implement a plan C, along w/ plans A & B, which showed insufficient for ‘Murphy’ … Ciao!
