Evvia Estiatorio brings the warmth and charm of Greece to Silicon Valley. From the moment you enter our restaurant, the Hellenic tradition of hospitality surrounds you; staff is warm and accommodating, food is abundant, wine flows and the room is cozy and inviting. You are made to feel like an old friend rather than a guest in a restaurant. It is a concept that drives Greek hospitality; philoxenia, the art of making a stranger a friend.
Evvia grew from the desire of two childhood friends to create a “home away from home” where their friends and family could enjoy delicious Greek cuisine.
At Evvia, standard Greek fare was raised to new heights utilizing the wealth of fresh produce, meats and seafood in California. Hellenic flavors married with a modern culinary sensibility creating a recipe for success.
An instant hit in the Palo Alto community, Evvia continues to welcome guests with its ideal combination of sophistication and old-world charm. A rustic fireplace warms the room while the large, polished wood Chef’s table, hand-made pottery and copper cookware create the feel of a Mediterranean country inn. The ambiance sets the stage for a most memorable dining experience.
EVVIA ESTIATORIO accepts reservations up to two months in advance to the calendar date.
