It was a nice night to sit outside. The food was delicious service was a bit slow, but would definitely go back!

Whether the pizza, the steak or the pasta, everything was very, very salty. Service was immaculate, with great difficulty getting the check. Outdoor atmosphere...

Very friendly owner; very interesting decor. We could use a good restaurant addition to the selection in the area.

La Macchina in Evanston is a favorite spot for delicious Italian food. While some found dishes like pasta, steak, and octopus underwhelming in portion size, others raved about the creative pastas and rotating meat and fish specials. The atmosphere was pleasant, but the unnecessary lounge singer made conversation difficult. Service varied from immaculate to distracted, with high noise levels. Overall, the restaurant offers top-quality ingredients, friendly service, and authentic Italian dishes. Don't miss the bolognese over hand-made pasta. La Macchina is a must-visit spot for homemade pasta and Italian fare with an affordable wine list.

The restaurant had a nice outdoor dining atmosphere. The food was delicious, but the service was a bit slow. Despite that, I would definitely go back.

The food at this restaurant, whether it was the pizza, steak, or pasta, was extremely salty. The service was inconsistent, and we had a hard time getting the ch...
