Giuseppe's, and it is still there....
Yeah? Is it good, what is it my imagination?
It is pretty damn good...it is located in an old bank building...
Yes! On the NW corner of that intersection, seems like. Glad to know its still there... I havent been there since like 03.
Fazolis has mr pibb, just sayin.
Fazolis is crap.Originally Posted by jdmt37
Olive Garden... SUCKS! Seriously, $10 for all you can eat salad and bread? That cost them about $4.. if if you are going in thinking oh, Ill just have a salad.. then the fatty ends up eating 20 breadsticks.
Since we're talking about I-Talian food it's time for my obligatory Dalesandro's plug. If you're a Tulsan or ever in Tulsa you should try it. On Friday & Saturday nights they have swordfish picatta and it is tremendous
if i wanted terribly microwaved "Italian food" I could pop a stoffers tv dinner in at home. To complete the experience I even have a few candles around the house I could light. We typically go to Zios or Primo's if we want Italian style food.
Oh!! Tucci's in Tulsa. So much yum.
The calamari will set your mouth on fire.
Biga is also a decent choice for Tulsa peeps
say what you want about OG, but i've never had terrible service. i appreciate that.
I have a David Cross CD,
he mentions being in the south somewhere and they had a new Italian restaurant. He asked if it was good, and some redneck says, "Eh, it ain't no Olive Garden..."
I like Sophabella's and Papa Dio's for local Italian, Mac Grill for chain Italian.

Setting the bar high.
napoli's in enid is terrible...
That was probably Mondo's, which is going to re-open on Brookside later this year.
Hey 87, is Costello's in Enid any good? Kinda sounds yummy.
This. I like the Olive Garden. But I don't pretend like it's some kind of Italian cuisine. It's dumbed down semi-fast food that derives most of its tasty from being unhealthy.
I like Johnny Carino's. I ate there frequently before i gots the beeeeetus.

I don't get it either. Also been good. A little overpriced but its good.
How is OG bland and unimaginative? Sure their endless pasta bowls are bland and unimaginative, but their main dishes are good and their monthly special is usually pretty imaginative.
very good
Me either. Always friendly and good service
And LOL at dissing OG while pimping mac grill.
I'm guessing most people in this thread are dissing it b/c it is a chain and the "hip" thing to do. But in reality, if you did a blind taste test, they would like the food
always wondered who was keeping that place in busines...
Haven't eaten there in 2 yrs or so. May have gone down hill? All i know is that the jalapeno tiliapa was awesome, and loved dipping the bread in the garlic/herb infused olive oil.
Not the place you're talking about but I'm a fan of Ti Amo at 61st and Sheridan.
I have heard this place is the ****. Too bad it's completely on the other side of town from me.
Ding Ding Ding, we have a winner. Yes it was Mondo's.
Yes Ti Amo's is pretty good. Good locally owned restaurant. I used to eat there all the time when they were off 21st and Memorial. I don't think I have ever been to the new location.
I guess I'm uneducated on all things Italian food... I like Olive Garden and Zios... Heck, Fazzolis was just fine when trying to feed 5 people for a reasonable price.
Dude... that jalapeno tilapia is one of the best meals on the planet. I swapped the fish for grilled chicken once and it was almost as good. Love that ****!

I love Zio's!
Def try the Italian nachos at Sophabella's and Carino's. Very rich, but so ****ing good.

But do they have SODA?
Because Zio's has a wide variety of sodas available to quench your thirst.
i love OG
I like Zio's and Johnny C's... I LOVE Victoria's (just for you mc)... I'll eat at OG if I have to, but only to get soup, salad, and breadsticks... Nothing particularly good about the rest of it to me.
Og's chicken carbonara is great. Zoos has good thai chicken past****
i like the chicken marsala at og....
it is really good if you ask them for lots of sauce...
if you don't....they put very little on ......and it's just ok...
Does carbonara sauce = alfredo sauce + bacon?
one time I did the all you can eat pasta until I puked...of all my food comas it was definitely a top five.
Guanciale is the most commonly used meat, but pancetta is also common...!!!
The now-famous Olive Garden reviewer was a quick-fire judge on Top Chef a couple of weeks ago.
This week's Quickfire guest judge is Internet-famous and Real Life-old food columnist Marilyn Hagerty. Though she's been writing for the Grand Forks Herald for over half a century, no one paid any attention to her until she wrote a review last year of a new local Olive Garden. She liked it, and that made ****holes who read blogs in big cities go bananas.
If you are eating excellent Italian food in the MidWest, you are in St. Louis. There are so many good Italian restaurants especially on the Hill, you can't go wrong. If you go there if they are having the NCAA wrestling meet again eat nothing but Italian food for the entire stay and you won't have to go to a chain outfit in that town.

Giuseppe's in Marlow, Oklahoma of all places has excellent Italian food. Or at least it did a few years ago when I ate there. It's in what used to be a bank. Cool atmosphere. I was blown away by how good my meal was.
The owner has started a new thing in the last year or two called the Broom Closet. It's reservation only, special menu, and you have the room for you and your friends for the evening. There's a secret entrance to the room--it's a very cool thing to do with friends. The owner is a really cool guy that likes doing stuff like that that are fun. He's wanting to open up an underground restaurant at some point--he said he'd like to have a phone booth in a parking lot or something that's an elevator that would be your access point.
