Dave's Italian Kitchen - Evanston

Dave's Italian Kitchen is alive and well! This new location is smaller and more intimate, but the calzones remain an excellent value. For just $12, you can enjoy a massive calzone that's almost big enough to share. I just wish they offered a wider variety of fillings.

The food and service were amazing! Our group, all vegetarian, enjoyed the garlic bread, pasta, lasagna, pizza, and both desserts. Everything was delicious. I particularly loved the pasta with jalapeños and the combination of Marinara and Alfredo sauce—rich and flavorful! I can’t wait to visit again.

The owner is incredibly kind and the food is fantastic. The menu offers a wide variety of choices and the portion sizes are generous. I am very pleased with my order.

Dave’s new kitchen is a small cozy place, with delicious food! The server was very likable and helpful. Took his suggestion and ordered the ravioli with Rose sauce: amazing taste! Definitely recommend this sauce with whatever you’d like to eat. The bread was fresh! Nice wine. The food came out very fast! Be careful as this small restaurant so close to the campus may get filled quickly in busy hours.

No hassle, good food/dollar, good taste. I hope they stay around Noyes for many years to come. I am revisiting this review in 2019 to reiterate my 5 star rating. The food is better than I remember. I love how the reds of the tomato sauce and the greens of the veggies are so bright and vibrant. That means that the stuff was prepared fresh and demand, and it did not sit around and oxidize.
