As temperatures drop, those of us who still want to dine al fresco are finding fewer options and opportunities.

Fortunately, one of Newbury Street’s hottest hot spots is doing all it can to keep you warm even when the weather is not.

As the overseer of one of the biggest patios in Boston, Eva has made its claim on the local dining landscape. But when that landscape needs shoveling, there is now no need to fear, as Eva recently installed not just heat lamps but also a handful of portable fire pits (each of which can be reserved for up to six guests and combined for larger parties), making outdoor dining even cozier than eating at most walled-in venues!

In addition to the seductive seating, Eva has also brought Chef Vince Carideo (of Barbara Lynch’s Sportello fame) to Back Bay. In addition to his famed handmade pastas (which can be served with a three-meat Bolognese or seafood-=based sauce, among other perfect preparations), Chef Carideo brings fresh Mezze platters, hearty soups, locally-sourced salads, and burgers made with beef, lamb, or falafel, as well as standout standards and the Eva supreme pizza, which combines fresh Italian meats with meat mushrooms and Marzano tomato sauce. 

For starving shoppers and wintertime walkers on the go, Eva also recently revealed a Belgian waffle stand, but the seasonal sippers like a warming mulled wine, sweet Stroopwafel cider, and chill-chasing chai chocolate will surely entice many to linger by the fire and stay for a meal.

It may be cold outside, Baby, but you can still stay warm and satisfied thanks to your chic friend Eva.
