As far as pizza places go in Oklahoma... this may be the best one.Definitely a Top 7 or 8 overall (for me.)

Pretty much the standard for the area. It is a quiet, nice atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. It's a nice place to have a good meal with family and relax.

Having been coming for years. Always excellent. But ordered pizza and crust was brown and middle was dough. Couldn’t pick up. Took back and recooked. Middle still doughy and crust almost burnt. Owner would not take off bill or discount or anything. Will not be going

Never again. Service was terrible, food was terrible, and I hope I'm wrong when I say I believe the owners were there working as well and did not care how the service was or that my 5 yr old niece could've cooked a better meal.Kid-friendliness: When you have kids there, make sure to order their food ahead as all of our party had their food and were almost done by the time the kiddos came. You'd think everyone would realize to bring little kids their food first as they are kids. Unbelievable.

Chicken parm was horrendous. $15 for a tiny frozen chicken patty with pitiful amount of pre-shredded mozzarella and a flavorless tomato sauce. I have no clue how this place has a 4.5 star rating because that was NOT italian food. Definitely a few steps below even Olive Garden.

My son ordered the Philly Cheesesteak Sub (plain). I told the waiter “He means meat and cheese only.” The waiter says “Oh..that has onions on it, is that okay?” My son said no, and I again said “meat and cheese only”.We get our food and my sons has all the toppings on his sandwich. So we both waited for awhile until our server came back and said he had to ask his manager if they could remake it. Why would you need permission to remake a sandwich that was messed up due to either the server or chefs mistake? The manager allowed it.We get the food back a second time and it was delivered by someone other than my server (manager or chef maybe). I saw meat and cheese sticking out so I figured it was fixed and he leaves. Long story short, it still has onions in it. I had to flag down a server (who was not mine) and tell him the issue. Then my server and the manager/chef come to our table to see what was wrong. I had to reiterate meat and cheese ONLY like 10 times.That man proceeded to ask me if cooking it in butter is okay….I never once mentioned butter? So again said “He just wants meat, cheese, bread. That’s it.” At this point I’m visibly annoyed. My son has autism and will absolutely not touch certain foods- onions, mushrooms and peppers are on that list. So now I’m having to tell the staff, which embarrassed my son.Mind you; the whole time my food has been sitting in front of me getting cold because I’m not going to eat in front of my child until he has food as well. So we got everything to go.Now, I don’t work here so I’m not aware of how things come packaged/prepared so I’m assuming the onions, peppers and mushrooms are all separate things added to the steak. If not, the waiter should have said “There’s no way for us to separate that/it all is made together etc” that would have been fine and my son would have ordered pizza. Again, I’m not sure why it was such an ordeal to only get meat and cheese on some bread. It was just a weird & frustrating situation.

Just had a very nice valentines dinner with my wife. Nice place, good food, excellent service. Tables could be updated a little. But overall wonderful..
Middle of the road Italian at top price is my biggest issue. We all know how cheap pasta is, so high quality ingredients are kind of expected to explain the cost. I ordered chicken tortellini miamodo. The chicken was colorless- the menu said sautéed, but the color, texture, and blandness really tasted like it was boiled. The dish is described as sauteed chicken over tortellini tossed in a wine sauce with tomato and broccoli- the latter i swapped out for mushrooms because broccoli tastes like it smells (sweat and methane.) I swear I didn't order soup- but it came in a bowl with a spoon and everything was literally floating in a flavorless wine sauce/chicken stock. I usually love tomatoes, and I know they are out of season and cooking them can remove some color, but they were barely blushing pink slicing tomatoes. Romas or on the vine tomatoes are much better options for cooking and still have color and flavor in the off season. If I'd known I was going to get faded beefsteak tomatoes floating in a taupe, cornstarched mystery liquid, I would've declined. Nothing special about the tortellini, not bad but not great; overcooked by about a minute. I haven't been anywhere that doesn't overcook pasta- with that said, my boyfriend's spaghetti noodles were the closest to al dente I've bitten into at any Italian place, so excellent job there. His dish was slightly more flavorful than mine. He got the chef's special sans artichoke (he's a hater, I guess) but had the same issue with his chicken- offputting texture and the only color came from the sauce. I tried dumping a hefty tablespoon of red pepper flakes into mine along with some *powdered parmesan* to give the dish some sort of flavor, but I couldn't save it. Red pepper flakes, how could you fail me like this? Once upon a time, I believed they could save any dish. I'll pretty much eat anything if it's spicy, but uh, not that, no thank you. I would've gladly washed the taste out of my mouth, but when I picked up my water cup, it was sticky, so I dunked my sticky fingers in it to clean them and cleansed my palate with the bread.The bread was excellent, so good you don't need the oil for it, and the waitress was great, I was not going to insult her by returning my order since she said it was one of her favorites- to each their own.Side note- the rare occasions i have returned food- maybe twice in my life?- that's a one way return, not an exchange- I do not want a replacement dish, lol.I don't know why the other staff bothered asking how it was as we left; they brushed off what we said and closed as soon as we walked out- and before you think we're the type of *special people* who like to come in right before closing, we are not. We got there over an hour before their posted hours said they were closed and there were three other tables seated. We left about a half hour after we got there, we didn't linger. If people want to close early on a Tuesday, for real go for it, I have zero issue with that, but if it is a clean kitchen you don't want to dirty and that decision will affect the food quality, like- say something! It's totally fine, I would completely understand "hey, we kind of wrapped up the kitchen because it was a slow Tuesday, so things may be cooked a little differently," or "these dishes aren't available," or "this isn't usually soup so we discounted it since it was inedible," or even "sorry, we are closing early tonight," and then it's OK because we can make an informed decision on risking a bad but pricey meal or saying "thank you for letting us know" and going elsewhere like Taco Bell, where it's cheap and I expect to be disappointed, so it's not a big deal at all, like thank you for the information, I hope you have a goodnight. What is not OK is $45 dollars on something gross. Getting what you paid for is fair, and that was not fair.

Terrible service! We ordered a pizza and waited 45 minutes as people were served who came in after us. When asked if they would discount the meal, we were told no. The mystery manager in the back would not show his face! NEVER EAT AT THIS PLACE!

The food quality is consistently good and the service is quick and friendly. This is a boutique Italian restaurant that is a comfortable place to eat. They have great pizza and good pasta - and the homemade bread is the best!

Price has gone up. Portion size has gone down...like, half what they used to be. Containers are the same size so it's like salt in the wound to open them up and see them half empty. It wouldn't be so bad if the food was a ten but the food is just 5-6. Atmosphere (what I saw while waiting on my order) would be better if there weren't a bunch of handwritten p&p signs to the employees right there where customers stand.
