Everything about this restaurant was top notch! I particularly loved the ambiance. It was very romantic.

Visited this restaurant last Friday night and I have to say I had the best meal ever in Tulsa. We started with sharing the Capeletti Porcini which was absolutely delicious and the perfect appetizer for what was to follow. I had the Vitello Osso Buco...which was just amazing, the veal fell off the bone and melted in my mouth and the Italian mushroom risotto was perfection! My girlfriend had the Pollo Piccata and was also very impressed. We finished sharing the Tiramisu which too was amazing. Our waiter was fun, very knowledgeable and accommodating to us. It’s not often I send my compliments to the chef, but on this occasion I felt it was appropriate. Well done Villa Ravenna, we’ll definitely be back.More
Enjoyable meal. Everything was spot on. The decor, the scallops, the wild boar! All was marvelous. The dessert--my goodness, only if we could eat more! Yes, it might be expensive, but this is a special occasion place for most people, and therefore: INDULGE!
My husband and I went last evening without a reservation and they were more than happy to receive us and brought us to this intimate 2 top table near the bar. The atmosphere seemed very private (yet it wasn’t) and cozy. We ordered the pears...with gorgonzola cheese and walnut as an appetizer which was such a surprising delicious flavor but I thought the pears were a bit firm. As an entrée I ordered the seafood pasta and hubby ordered the meat ravioli. Let me say that the seafood pasta was to die for. It had an abundance of lobster, shrimp, and scallops in fettuccine with a carbonara sauce which had a smoky, bacon flavor and the sea scallops were cooked to perfection with a beautiful sear yet so tender inside. I have never been served a more perfect scallop in my life. My husband also liked his ravioli. The bill came to around $99 and we left our waiter Cory a $25 dollar tip as he did an outstanding job. BTW when they ask if you’d like bread ORDER it. You won’t be sorry. All in all it was a beautiful dining experience and we will definitely be going back.More
Nice atmosphere but the food and service were a disappointment. The gnocchi was very soft and the meat sauce had almost no meat. The waiter never refilled our water. Also we were surprised that no bread was served. My husband liked his lasagna but said...he prefers Mondos!More
Caro signor Orioli, è stato un immenso piacere fare la sua conoscenza, non mi aspettavo niente di meno da un mio connazionale, considerando il qualunquismo imbarazzante e maleducato del paese in cui ha scelto di condurre i suoi affari. Sono stato lusingato di conoscere sua...figlia. Lei è stato estremamente ospitale! I am sure that your beloved will succeed in ballet! Your restaurant is for sure a GEM, in that town forsaken by God! I could smell a refined Italian Touch from what I came in, except for the woman at the entrance, she seemed to be bothered not in harmony with the environment. It's a real fine dining place.... but I would like to tell you a couple of things.... Perché io credo che esportare il fatto di essere italiani sia una responsabilità, Anche se dopo appena un paio di generazioni la gente dimentica... and I am conscious unfortunately that for practical reasons business is business.... you was speaking with me in an excellent Italian, although it was clear that you have been living there for a long time! You made me feel home.. somebody would say that home is where your heart is, but actually I felt home just there. I know that money is money very well, but fine dining meanwhile in the background I see someone in a hoodie with a cap, it doesn't make me feel like I am fine dining anymore. We as in Italian people importing our refined kitchen we deserve people who can enjoy our cuisine with respect. WE ARE NOT MCDONALDS, SO YOU DON'T EAT BY US IF YOU BELIEVE YOU GO TO MCDONALDS! if you wanna be cheap stay home and doordash! This is my personal opinion. Il cameriere che mi è capitato sicuramente era una bravissima persona Ma è stato imbarazzante in più di un'occasione, "wassup man" and stuff...All the American indifference he exuded... non c'entrano niente con l'Italia. Sbandierare prezzi, non va bene. In Italia signor Orioli tu lo sai bene che abbiamo il primo ed il secondo quindi quando io ordino il primo ed il secondo mi aspetto che prima arrivi il primo e quando ho finito arrivi il secondo e non tutto insieme. Come faccio a mangiare la pasta mentre dovrei mangiare la carne?! Dovrebbe essere logico A parte che culturale. It was nice and expected that our Styles were matching, you cannot buy CLASS.. and although I'm sure that place is your routine you have in your DNA Elegance and courtesy.I FELT PROUD! ♡. Lo so che nessuno se ne accorge ma ci sono alcuni errori nel menu che non sembra nemmeno scritto da Lei. Il fatto che lei mi abbia presentato sua figlia è stato davvero rispettoso ed italiano! La pasta al nero di seppia non dovrebbe essere in brodo... lo stesso sentore di Marsala della piccata era lo stesso della pasta, non va bene. Remove that Alfredo stuff from the menu because we both know that whatever is Alfredo is not Italian! At least you!!! You are an Italian Villa , not a shack! I loved to talk to someone that knows what RESPECT is. ....If the Moscato does not hit the mark, the limoncello and the amaretto will take care of it.LOL.... Mr. Orioli, you continue to hold Italy's honor aloft. Ti abbraccio forte dal nostro meraviglioso Paese. Viva l'Italia!More
My wife and I met my sister and her husband at Villa Ravenna, which we chose based on the great reviews on Tripadvisor. We were not disappointed. Between the four of us we sampled a pretty good subset of their menu including the wild boar...sausage, Burrata, prosciutto and tomato and grilled pear gorgonzola appetizers, the pear salad, chicken fettuccine alfredo, ravioli alla panna and carbonara di mare, and tiramisu and limoncello cake. All were excellent and reasonably priced as compared to similar fine-dining restaurants. The service we received from Anthony and the rest of the staff was also excellent. We will definitly return the next time we are in Tulsa.More
Went on a Wednesday night with no rez and they were able to seat us. On busy days I think a reservation is a must. The ambiance was upscale and nice. Our waiter was friendly and explained the menu and drink list and was attentive...while not hounding us, I appreciated that. For starters my gf had the cream of mushroom soup, which was very good, and I had the dates which I highly recommend. For mains we went with the fettuccine and vegetables and the spicy penne with wild boar sausage. Both were really really good- highly recommend both dishes. We finished with creme brûlée and a cannoli, the cannoli was super fresh and delicious. It was a high priced meal but worth it for the service and food quality. If you are looking for high end Italian, this is the best in Tulsa and we will be back!More
Amazing food and service. The waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and brought me the perfect glass of wine for my veal piccata. Leave room for dessert the limoncello cake and limoncello shot (made in house) were outstanding.
Not impressed at all. We were looking for aore upscale Italian dinner for take out while we were in town and ordered the Briscetta Alla Marsala and the steak was the worst part of the meal. The bread and the alfredo was okay but the...steak had so much gristle we couldn't even cut it. The marsala sauce was also so dry it almost ruined the steak.More
I’ve been to Vill Ravenna several times and it’s ALWAYS excellent! The staff is great, the owner is always there, they have a very nice wine selection, and the food is some of the best you can find in Tulsa!
Excellent restaurant. We started with a zuppa di mare. We then had the seafood risotto and gnocchi. They were delicious! Great atmosphere.
...with whatever you choose from the vast menu or the specials! Villa Ravenna is by far the best Italian food in Tulsa! It even puts some of our meals we had in Italy to shame! They also have the staff to match the quality of...the dishes. Sergio always welcomes us with love and Yani puts the same love into her cooking. We always feel like we’re family when dining here! Support a local, family owned business...please, go and mangiare!More
My friends and I visited Villa last night and had a wonderful experience! If you have not been to this amazing gem, you must go! It reminds me of several quaint eateries in Italy! White tablecloths, low light and music add to the relaxed-elegance ambience....The appetizers and salads were perfect and our meals were delicious! I had the lobster ravioli and it was to die for! Others had the foot long prawn, bone in steak, eggplant parmesan and the shrimp and scallops pasta. Every bite was amazing. You'd think we'd have no room for dessert but we couldn't resist those delectable treats! We highly recommend the lemon chello cake and tiramisu!! We cannot wait to come back!More
Villa Ravenna is our favorite Italian restaurant in Tulsa. We have tried everything from the Seafood pasta to the giant prawn and the antelope. It's all delicious. We ALWAYS get the fried calamari to share, and the kids favorite is the Chicken Parmigiana with Fettuccini...Alfredo instead of the garlic pasta w/ wilted spinach (that we love).More
