Nestled in the vibrant heart of Tequesta, our restaurant stands as a culinary beacon, inviting guests on an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Italy. With a legacy steeped in tradition and a commitment to culinary excellence, we proudly present the epitome of Italian dining in our establishment.
Our scholarship story began just a few years ago, rooted in a dream shared between a mother and her son. Evo was born from Chef Erik’s vision to honor his family’s heritage and generational legacy through food and community.
The Andrea C. Cameron Foundation—founded by Tyler Cameron in memory of his mother—serves as the foundation of our scholarship efforts. Within this mission, Tyler created the Nancy Coschignano Scholarship, honoring Chef Erik’s mother, Nancy, whose dream helped inspire Evo’s beginnings. This tribute beautifully aligned with Chef Erik’s desire to celebrate his own mother while giving back to the next generation.
Together, they discovered a shared passion: creating opportunities for others. The Nancy Coschignano Scholarship now provides meaningful support to students pursuing higher education—not only in traditional colleges, but also in trade schools, culinary programs, and beyond.
By donating, you help us carry forward the legacy of two remarkable women while empowering the next generation of leaders, creators, and dreamers.

Evo’s ambiance was as captivating as its cuisine. The contemporary decor served as a gallery for both renowned and local artists, providing a platform for them to showcase and sell their works. This fusion of fine dining and fine art created a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, enchanting patrons with every visit.
At the heart of Evo’s success is Chef Erik, a culinary maestro whose creations left diners in awe. Among his many masterpieces, one dish stood out—Sunday Gravy. This beloved recipe garnered widespread acclaim and even found a place in the 2018 publication “The Happy Cookbook” by Fox & Friend’s Steve Doocy and his wife Kathy. Chef Erik was the only chef featured in the book, a testament to his exceptional talent and unique culinary vision.
For the past seventeen years, Evo had been a beacon of culinary excellence, consistently earning the prestigious Wine Spectator Award. Each accolade reflected the restaurant’s unwavering commitment to quality and innovation.
The evolution of Evo continued to amaze its loyal following. Chef Erik’s talents caught the attention of Food Network’s Guy’s Grocery Games, where he competed and triumphed, earning the title of episode winner. His victory brought even more recognition to Evo, solidifying its status as a culinary landmark.
Despite his growing fame, Chef Erik remained deeply rooted in his community. For seventeen years, he had been dedicated to giving back to the people who supported his journey. His generosity and commitment to community service were as integral to Evo’s identity as the food and art that filled its space.
Evo’s doors close only on Thanksgiving and Christmas Day, a small respite for the hardworking team. These brief pauses allowed Chef Erik and his staff to cherish their own moments of gratitude and celebration, ready to welcome guests with renewed passion and creativity the following day.
As the seasons change and Italian traditions flourish, our nightly specials at the restaurant reflect the essence of each time of year with a touch of authentic flair. In the spring, diners can savor delicate risottos infused with freshly foraged mushrooms or indulge in vibrant pasta dishes adorned with seasonal vegetables and herbs. Summer brings forth the bounty of the Mediterranean with succulent seafood platters and refreshing salads bursting with ripe tomatoes and fragrant basil. As autumn arrives, our menu celebrates the harvest with hearty braised meats and comforting dishes like osso buco and wild boar ragu. Finally, in winter, guests can cozy up to soul-warming classics like rich, slow-simmered minestrone soup and decadent truffle-infused pasta creations. Each nightly special pays homage to the time-honored culinary traditions of Italy while embracing the bounty of the seasons with unparalleled gusto.


Evo represents time-honored, old world traditions evolving full circle into fresh new beginnings.
Years ago, in the Italian village where my grandparents lived, there were no supermarkets, dinner came fresh from the farm to the table.
Today, this is the philosophy we practice. As a fourth generation Italian chef, with over 30 years of culinary
experience, I handpick the finest products daily to create contemporary variations of my family’s secret recipes —
traditional treasures with a fresh new twist. I invite you to sit back, relax, make yourself at home. Trust us to delight
your palate, and satisfy your soul.

At our restaurant, we believe in celebrating the rich tapestry of Italian cuisine, showcasing a menu curated with passion, creativity, and respect for tradition. Each dish is a masterpiece, crafted with the finest locally sourced ingredients and imbued with the timeless flavors that have made Italian cuisine a global favorite.
