On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, we strolled into Pastaworks on Hawthorne Avenue to pick up some pizza making supplies. If you have ever been inside this location, then you know how seeing and smelling all of the ridiculously fresh ingredients can lead to the need to eat some of it…immediately! Luckily for us, we realized that EVOE is a little eating establishment connected to Pasta Works, serving up a nice array of small plates, deli sandwiches, soups and sides sourced from Pasta Works. EVOE has an open concept floor plan (no interior walls) with prime seating in the front window overlooking Hawthorne, as well as side counter seating and a couple tables. All menu items are simply listed on a large chalkboard (no descriptions, just solid naming conventions), and all are simple options, featuring only the freshest cuts of meats and vegetables. We chose the “Salame,” which was Salame, Manchego Cheese & Roasted Red Pepper, served on a soft ciabatta roll. Pickled brussel sprouts served on the side were a nice, yet vinegary, accompaniment (nothing else is served with the sandwiches).
The Staff was very friendly, and we talked to the man as he cut up rabbit for a featured dish to be created for the store that week. To be expected, even a simple sandwich from someplace like this will be pricey, and this was no exception at $7.50 (though for meat this fresh, you can’t really complain?).
