Captain America star Chris Evans has been linked to British actress Alice Eve after they were spotted enjoying an intimate dinner date.

The pair is currently working together on Evans' directorial debut, 1:30 Train, a movie about two commuters who fall for each other at a railway station.

And it seems romance is happening behind the cameras after Evans and Eve sparked rumours they are an item during a cosy meal.

The duo was seen dining at John's Italian restaurant in New York City on Sunday (14Dec13), and sat at a table by the window, where Evans could clearly be seen putting his arm around the blonde beauty.

They were then photographed beaming at each other as they left the eaterie and headed off in the same car.
