Trattoria Il Centro

I have been to this place 5 or 6 times....I have given up on it. I really wanted to like it. The decor is so cool. the food has been hit and miss thought. I think chef Christine is imaginative...new italian I guess..I have loved some things and others I couldn't eat. But I think the service by far is the worst thing about this place. They have really good bread with this great bean sauce...but it is actually like pulling teeth to get it refilled! and the waiters have all been through houdini training....always gone...the chef and waitstaff need to stop being so upity...cause it is terrible!.

Two dishes were inedible, sent back and the chef did not even visit the table. Pizza is always fantastic, but not worth the brand new little waiter that was in the weeds and could get no help from the other 5 servers and one manager just standing around. Make your own choice but I will never go back nor my friends.... Coming from an Itialian family this food was disgusting and would have made my great grandmother roll over in her grave if she tried there bolognese.. in the end.. service was poor, drinks came slow, food was bad(unless it was the pizza) and the attitude in the whole place was nothing to be desired.... what a shame!!!!

Trattoria is a great new restaurant in downtown, located a block south of the civic center. right from the time you enter this restaurant you are transformed, the hosts greet you with a smile, a magnificent wine display shows off their affordable wines and you can see right into the kitchen where all the fabulous cooking is going on.

The food we had was some of the best i have had in okc in a very long time. We had the rigatoni buttera, tuna saltimbocca and the filet with gorgonzola ravioli. Not only was the food great it was presented beautifully. Our sever was able to answer any question we had about the food and paired our wines to match the items perfectly.

If you want a night out and a great experience in dinning go to this one of a kind restaurant you will not be disappointed. You will have wished you found it earlier and you most definitely will tell all your friends. Last but not least it is extremely affordable so even if you are on a budget you can still have a great experience.

Wonderful fresh Italian food and one of the best martinis that is infused with basil.
