Terra & Vine, Evanston, IL

Located on a bustling corner in downtown Evanston, Terra & Vine is a fresh take on Italian/Mediterranean dining, crafted in collaboration with “Check, Please!” host Alpana Singh and her team. Designed to complement the trendy wood-fired menu and attract moviegoers from the nearby Century Theater, the space channels the sleek, modern Italian style of the 1950s and ’60s. Clean lines, refined brass and black-bronze accents, and warm wood tones create a stylish yet welcoming vibe. Inside, family-style seating with bronzed leather banquets, whitewashed weathered wood, and a mix of eclectic textiles invite guests to relax in comfort. The layout was carefully refined to maximize seating without sacrificing the cozy feel—ensuring there’s no bad seat in the house.
