Italian in Tulsa ?

[nofearfactor]

Its just Noodles and bread

This.

My last ex, my daughters mother, her father is Italian and her mother is German. I ate alot of both of their foods the 10 years we were married as well as visiting Germany and Italy twice. My current wife is also part Italian but she doesnt care much for tomatoes or cheese, go figure, so we either dont take her out with us much or we go some where that she can get something she likes. She's part Italian and she likes Olive Garden, their soup/salad/breadsticks is her fave. She's a weird one.

I think Ive eaten at every joint mentioned locally and if I had to choose a place that had good food and also was casual then it would be a Napoli's, the one in BA is my fave, There are several in the area. Alot of the people running the different Napoli's in the area are related too Ive read. We go to Andolini's for the most awesome pizzas. Marys is great. Ti Amos, ok.

Tulsa needs a Buca Di Beppos. Closest one would be in Dallas or Kansas City. We go to our favorite one in San Jose or San Francisco when home in California.

What was the name of the Italian place in downtown Tulsa? It was just a few blocks from the BOK Center, IIRC. Supposedly excellent food, though I've never been there. Can't find it via Google.

Ti Amo

Ti Amo

Did it have a different name a while back? The place I'm thinking of had steps down from the street IIRC, and maybe an awning over the door.

Marys is good for date night. A little expensive. Id recommend the Parmesan chicken. The atmosphere is dark and old. It's like grandmas yard sale lace doily and all. People dress up a little to go there. I didn't and was just fine.

Thanks guys, y'all are awesome ('cept you punkin, you're even better. & true dat on noodles and bread, but I'm tryin' to make the best choice).

Well, I was kinda hoping for Mary's but after you say expensive and reading a few more of the reviews online, people say it's big buck-a-roos... so that's probably out.

I'm thinking Oliveto is going to win out based on price, decent food, not the typical everyone-has-been-to-it chain, and closer proximity to my house for dessert

Any more reviews on Oliveto that might help me?

Dude, is this really considered expensive for a date night?

That's not terrible but this isn't a date night thing really.

Mr. Taco and Netflix on the couch is sounding better and better Ridge...

You can't go wrong with Napoli's in B.A. for a date. Clean, dark, and good service. Carrabba's on 71st is pretty good and they have an excellent steak.

That was presumptious of me. But I just can't fathom other reasons for Italian food out As mentioned, it's noodles bread.

Carraba's does have a good steak though, even if it is a chain place.

Napolis In BA is great but only the one in BA and if you go to Carrabbas you gotta have the Marsala .. Best I ever Had ask for extra sauce
