Dalesandro’s is my favorite Italian restaurant in Tulsa, and a reliable coping mechanism for anyone looking to escape The Horrors® for a bit. Short menu, which makes selection less intimidating. You can order with confidence, though, because everything is terrific.
The Caesar is top notch, the carpaccio is always fresh tasting & flawless, and the swordfish piccata is widely beloved for a reason—dense, flavorful fish pan-fried & baked to perfection, combined with not-overly-acidic lemony/buttery angel hair. The carbonara is also pleasingly rich & easily shareable for two people (if you’re not a debauchee like myself).
Service is always friendly, helpful, and professional. Wine & cocktail lists are simple & well curated.
I do wish they’d offer a cheesecake option or something beyond the chocolate gateaux for dessert, but it’s so good that it’s never difficult to talk yourself into!

My husband’s and I’s favorite late night restaurant for years now.

Excellent food (the best crusty bread, very tasty salad/dressing, always consistent, excellent pasta shells, smooth chardonnay). We received lots of attention from the wait staff (they cleared our dishes 3X, brought more water, asked if we were pleased). The place was hopping busy; we were impressed. Huge bar seating, comfortable for solitary diners.

My family and I used to consider Dalesandro’s to be one of Tulsa’s finest dining establishments and were excited to visit again when back in Tulsa for the holidays. We were sadly disappointed. While the food quality was on par with past experiences, we were quite put off by our server. Our server was loud in every sense. From the tone of their voice to their accessories, everything was loud and it wasn’t screaming “upscale dining”. Even when the food is delicious, being subjected to such brash behaviors from a server leaves the experience wanting.

Been here 2 times and it is my favorite Italian food restaurant in Tulsa! Service, atmosphere and food are top level. Went as a date night and it was amazing. Then did a group Christmas party and it was absolutely amazing!!! Can’t wait to go back. Wish we had taken pictures

⭐☆☆☆☆ We were very disappointed with our experience at Dalesandro’s. We made a reservation by phone at 4:28 p.m. today for 7:30 p.m., and arrived a few minutes early. When we checked in, the staff claimed there was no record of our call and made no effort to help or accommodate us. We were treated dismissively, which was especially disappointing given the restaurant’s reputation.
Even if a mistake happened, a little courtesy and professionalism would have gone a long way. Unfortunately, based on how we were treated tonight, we won’t be returning.

Dalesandro's is the perfect spot for an easygoing dinner date. My girlfriend and I went for an early dinner and had a fantastic time. The whole restaurant is wrapped around the bar, which gives it a really cool, busy vibe, especially when it gets crowded.
We started with the Caprese, and honestly, it might have been the best part of the meal. It was super fresh and delightful. For our mains, my date got the Carbonara which she loved, and I had the Linguine. They had unfortunately run out of meatballs, but I added mushrooms instead, and it was still absolutely delicious.
What really makes this place special is the owner. SSo nice and personable, really makes you feel like you're a friend, not just a customer.
If you're looking for a relaxed dinner date spot in Tulsa with great, authentic Italian food and a friendly atmosphere, I'd definitely recommend Dalesandro's.
This was our first time dining at Dalesandro’s, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the service was phenomenal. We sat at the bar and were lucky enough to be served by Jess, who was truly remarkable. Personable, attentive, and such a joy to talk with—Jess is truly a gem of Dalesandro’s. Honestly, we would go back just to be served by her again!
The ambiance was warm and welcoming, with a great vibe inside and a lovely patio option for when the weather’s nice.
For dinner, we both ordered the carbonara, and it was fabulous—rich, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. We finished with the chocolate mousse cake with walnut and Oreo crust, which was as tasty as it sounds—decadent but not too heavy, the perfect ending to our meal.
Overall, such a great experience from start to finish. We’ll definitely be back!

Dalesandro’s is just one of those places…. It has a very special place in my heart. I have lived and shopped in and around 18th and Boston my entire life and Dalesandro’s belongs there. It was there even before it was there if you get my meaning. There is something extraordinary about the space, the people AND THE FOOD!!

if you want true authentic Italian cuisine This place is amazing. The swordfish piccata is to die for and the carpaccio is the best in town. Top faves in Tulsa for sure!! Also, all the servers are amazing!
