Tried Patrono’s for date night last week, and it did not disappoint. This small, cozy restaurant offers limited seating, which adds to its intimate charm. They specialize in what they call “rustic Italian cuisine”—I’m not entirely sure what that means, but I do know that everything we tried was delicious. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, and the wait staff was incredibly attentive throughout the evening. I ordered the pork chop, and my date had the jumbo crab cake. Both dishes were cooked perfectly and full of flavor. A big thank you to the management and staff for making our evening so enjoyable. We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

We’ve been here a few times and every time we have, the service and food has been amazing! To start, this place has such a chill vibe, and today, our server Castleberry and the manager Shannon were so attentive and took good care of us the entire time, making sure everything was replenished and that we truly enjoyed our food and experience. We got the Carbonara and the Spaghetti Tomato Basil. And the Gelato and Tomato Soup. Everything was incredible! And the bread and butter… my goodness. Overall 10/10 for everything!

Let’s just start off by saying the service was amazing, and the food definitely did not disappoint. I tried the grilled octopus for the very first time and I actually loved it. We also got the ribeye steak and the lump crab pasta. The steak was cooked to perfection. The lemon drops are also a must!!Can’t wait to go back!!!

Excellent food, well worth the price. I got vodka pasta with chicken and my fiancée got spaghetti and meatballs. Both were amazing, authentic Italian; some of the best I’ve had in Oklahoma.

Me and my Husbands favorite spot in Oklahoma! We go for every birthday, anniversary or just when we want amazing food. The service is the best and the food is always delicious. We absolutely love it here and will continue to go back for years.

Food is beautifully prepared. The menu is "tight." Nothing that shouldn't be there. Service is fantastic. Super friendly and comfortable. Sydney is a rock star. Had a great experience and will return soon.

Reservation for 7pm on a Sunday. Upon arrival host informed us the restaurant was packed from walk ins stopping by before a holiday harmonics event and everyone had just left so there were only two tables, making for a very intimate experience. Kiley was incredibly friendly and helpful since this was our first time, giving honest suggestions on their best dishes. She was an absolute sweetheart and gave suggestions on the best desserts in the OKC/Norman area after talking about being a sweet tooth. Giant lump crab Diavolo linguine was so delicious, it’s spicy and they’ll ask for your preferred spice level. Charred cauliflower was probably my favorite, definitely recommend. Everything was good, my only regret was ordering the lemon tiramisu instead of the almond cake. We let Kiley know how much we loved the butter and basil oil and she packed us extra for a perfect midnight snack. Huge wine selection was mostly imported and full bar available. Took a ride share downtown so no idea how much parking is available, looked like mostly street parking. Recommend looking up local events or calling to avoid large crowds of walk ins.

I stopped by Patrono's, a refined Italian restaurant, for lunch today at around 11:40 a.m. and it was a delightful experience despite the place being surprisingly quiet when I arrived. This upscale spot, located in the heart of Oklahoma City, exudes elegance with its clean, sophisticated decor (polished wood accents and soft lighting, with stylish interior). Lunch hours: Tue - Friday 11:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Dinner Hours: Tue - Thur 4:00 p.m. - 10:00 p.m., Fri 4:00 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. Sat 5:00 p.m. -11:00 p.m. Sun 4:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Perfect timing for my visit! My meal kicked off with the Grilled Octopus appetizer, served with cannellini beans, arugula, pickled onion, and calabrese aioli. The octopus was incredibly tender, melting in my mouth, though the flavors felt mild and somewhat muted, still a solid starter that set a nice tone. Next, I enjoyed the Patrono Salad, which was bursting with flavor thanks to the peppery arugula and a standout pistachio vinaigrette. Beets are my favorite root vegetable, so I was excited for them, but they seemed pre-packaged rather than freshly roasted, which would've made them even better; still, the salad was delicious and vibrant. For my main, I went with the Mezze a la Vodka, adding their in-house made spicy sausage, which brought a fantastic kick to the creamy pasta. The sausage's heat paired beautifully with the rich sauce, though the pasta itself isn't made in-house but is thoughtfully sourced locally, which I appreciate. I opted for a Diet Coke (they serve canned beverages here, which they kindly kept topping off. A thoughtful touch). As soon as my drink arrived, my waiter Cydney who greeted me warmly at the door and let me choose my seat (I picked the bar) then brought out some incredible sourdough bread with balsamic butter and housemade chimichurri. The chimichurri was fresh and zesty, stealing the show with its vibrant herb flavors. Cydney's service was impeccable, and the clean, upscale ambiance made this a memorable lunch. While the octopus could use a flavor boost, the overall quality and attention to detail here are top-notch. I'll definitely return, perhaps for dinner, to explore more of this refined menu!

Service was ok. I require gluten free and received gluten free. The bread was exceptional. The pasta dish was way too salty. I mentioned this to our server, who apologized. He did not offer to replace the dish or credit it. Hmmm My wife did enjoy her meal.

The place appears very elegant. The bathrooms and floors could stand to be a little cleaner, but that is being picky. Went kinda late, so it was very quiet and calm. The server I had was very nice and attentive. I wish he was a little more knowledgeable about the menu, but again being kinda picky. Appetizer: - Grilled octupus I have had grilled octupus many times in various high-end restaurants in various cities around the country. When I saw this on the menu, I knew I had to get it. It's a little pricey. HOWEVER..... it is probably the best I've had. The octupus was so tender, perfectly grilled, and very well seasoned. The bean salad it is served with adds so much flavor and texture contrast. Then add the calabrese aioli to the mix, and it is a true winner!!! Entree: - Bone-in Grilled pork chop with broccolini and creamy polenta This had a lot of wins....and a small flop. The star of the show was obviously the pork chop. It was very tender, juicy, and perfectly grilled. Really couldn't ask for better. The broccoloni was hot but still crisp and seasoned - just a good basic side. The polenta kinda lost me. It had a very grainy texture and not as lush and creamy as I wanted it to be. I honestly would have preferred a creamy bed of mashed potatoes.

So Patrono has always been a favorite of ours. Living a couple of blocks from it was a blessing. My wife , who by the way accepted my marriage proposal at Patrono , and I went this past Saturday. Their halibut special is special in that it is Alaskan Halibut - thicker, flakier and delicious You need to go soon as Alaskan halibut is only available for a short time We split that with the vodka sauce pasta. Beautifully cooked and the sauce had a kick but very delicate. Of course we had to take our pistachio gelato to go. No body has better pistachio gelato than Patrono. Service was great. If you want Italian food this is where you need to go.

"Excellence as a standard expectation" may or may not be their model, but it is exactly what they do. Even the salad is exceptional, and that's so unique! The carbonara is consistently delicious and the service is very attentive yet not at all distracting or invasive. The atmosphere is not loud, lending to a great place for conversation with a delicious meal... and did I mention the bread?? Oh! It comes with a roasted garlic spread and a green, "something" dip that is to die for! So, along with the delicious food, the thing that sets this place apart is the incredible service. Every time im there is feel like our table is the only table in the restaurant. Its the same quality for lunch and dinner. My dad said, "I didn't know that there was any place like this in Oklahoma!" No joke. This place elevates the city. Our Italian family gives this a strong recommendation!

There are very few restaurants near to the Civic Center and I'm thankful that Patrono is one of them! Had a pre-theatre dinner with drinks that was lovely, skillful pacing ensured that we made our curtain call with time to spare. The mixed greens salad was crisp and the dressing a bright complement to start our meal, the Roman carbonara made for a rustic and filling meal.

My husband and I went to Patrono on a Sunday night and had a wonderful experience! The setting was comfortable and intimate. Our server Maddy was friendly and attentive. The burrata appetizer was delicious; the sweet potato caponata made us feel like we were back in Sicily! Their carbonara is the closest thing we've had to the carbonara we had in Rome! Get the meatballs - they're delicious! Their gelato is amazing! Highly recommend! We did not take advantage of their half off bottles of wine deal - but we'll certainly return sometime for that!

Hidden gem in downtown OKC. Had tried multiple times to visit this restaurant but conflicts got in the way. Was finally able to visit and can tell you we've been missing out. Food was amazing. Best pork chop I've had in OKC (and I've tried quite a few). My family loved their dishes. No issues with gluten and we will be back for sure.

My wife and I visited this restaurant for the first time for dinner. Since my wife has celiac disease, finding good gluten-free meals can be a challenge, but we were thrilled with the selection here. We ordered an appetizer, two entrées, and two desserts. For the appetizer, we had the fresh burrata, which was gluten-free and absolutely phenomenal - highly recommended. I started with the chef's soup of the day, a pea soup, which was unique, flavorful, and a nice change of pace. Since I'm not a big fan of pasta, I opted for the hand-cut bone-in pork chop as my entrée. It was incredible - perfectly cooked, and the portion was so generous I had enough to take home and enjoy the next day. My wife ordered the risotto, which was also delicious. Our only feedback would be that it could use some added texture, like a bit of crunch, to break up the single consistency. For dessert, my wife had the pistachio sorbet, which was wonderful, and I had the lemon white chocolate tiramisu. The tiramisu was rich and generously sized - so much so that I had to take some home. The drinks were excellent, the portions were more than satisfying, and the prices were very reasonable for the amount and quality of food we received. We will definitely be back! The service was phenomenal. They were very respectful and had a great understanding of time management. The restaurant itself was very quiet and intimate.

Please try the grilled octopus you will not be disappointed and the pasta is amazing. If you like a little spice try adding the spicy Italian sausage. Highly recommend if you have a gluten allergy, plenty of options and the staff are extremely attentive! Cozy spot for a wonderful dinner

Amazing Italian food in a very cozy yet trendy interior decor setting. Excellent and attentive service as well. Some of the appetizers like the prosciutto wrapped mozzarella were phenomenal. Went for a business dinner and my colleagues ordered more meat-based dishes (their bone-in pork chop looked incredible) but I got a past dish which was great. They also serve bread with homemade variants of butter (one variety has infused balsamic vinegarette). Highly recommended, likely one of the best if not the best Italian place in OKC!

Our waiter, Sidney, was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable. The greens salad was delicious. The greens were flavorful but not sharp and balanced perfectly with the balsamic dressing. The spinach and provolone flatbread was very good as well. My husband described the pasta and nicely al dente and the sauce and ricotta as equally well prepared. Lovely experience overall!

Patrono is a small venue,, romantic, Italian restaurant. We've been eating there for several years and they never disappoint. It's a great date night venue and it's so close to the Civic Center. Last night we had dinner with friends at 6 p.m. before catching Godspell at the Poteat Theater at 7:30. I had the Crab Cake entrée and it was excellent. It was served on a bed of creamy mashed potatoes and green beans. I estimated the Crab Cake @ 8 ounces. Perfectly prepared, loaded with crab, without traditional binders. Very tasty! My wife had the short ribs served in a bowl with pasta. She was very pleased with her choice. Venue/ Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Crab Cake: 5/5 Short Ribs: 4/5 Overall: 4.5/5

The service was amazing. The atmosphere was so welcoming and accommodating. The food was just okayish. I didn't love their menu and its lack of options. Maybe I didn't try the right thing. But the waiter was amazing and attentive.

The restaurant was clean and the service good but the food was mediocre. This is not at all an Italian restaurant, it's not near too. The food was filled with oil and inappropriate spices. The price unjustified for the quality. I am Italian, born and raised and l felt offended they will consider this place an Italian restaurant. At least the chef should read some books about the Italian cooking to justify the name of this business. Very disappointed.

Very intimate dining. Great vibe. The dishes all professionally prepared and presented. Pork chop is outstanding and paired with a side portion of Carbonara. You will probably have to travel to Bologna to find its equal. Reasonable wine list and if you want to dine there you should not count on same day reservations because it has a following.

Last time I was here was 6 years ago. I felt that I should give this place another shot with how much my bestfriend Anthony raves about this place. I'm sure cooks, managers, and other staff have changed over the 6 years I've not came. The manager was super personable, friendly, and professional. She made sure our night was splendid. The server made sure our drinks were always full. My bestfriend ordered the short rib fettuccini, I had the shrimp rigatoni sans pancetta (I don't eat pork), and my guy had the spaghetti with Italian sausage. Everything was well made and tasted great. We also had a few cocktails. I had the aviation and it was delicious. After our drinks and finishing our entrees, we all shared the hazelnut cheesecake which was a lovely end to our dinner. I'm glad I decided to come back, because this might be my new favorite Italian restaurant. If you haven't tried this place out yet, give it a try sooner than later.

I've enjoyed every time I've been to Patrono. The company is always good, but more importantly to you is the wonderful food and service they provide. We started off with several appetizers. I'm not a huge anchovy person, but theirs are pretty good. I wanted to keep the warm olives and Marcona olives for myself - thankfully my wife doesn't like green olives - and the prosciutto, burrata cheese and a soft cheese were wonderful. The red wine we had for the table - Scaia Paradiso - was so nice. I don't drink a lot of wine, but I did track down a bottle of this locally. It was hard to decide what to order. Someone else in our party got the pork chop and it is huge. Had I been closer I would have snuck a bit when she wasn't looking. I chose the orecchiette and mortadella, and really enjoyed it. I love orecchiette and the pistachio gremolata was nicely interesting. As other reviewers have noted, the pasta portions look deceivingly small. They're not. I was only halfway through when I realized I wouldn't be able to finish it all. As mentioned, the staff is attentive without being overbearing. They kept great tabs on the table. You know when there is one piece of bread left and you're hoping nobody else wants it? Right at that moment they were always there with more.

Super nice service. We were just driving by and decided to stop for a early dinner. The perfect parking space was right in front so we couldn't pass it up! I bet parking is normally a challenge. We were the only ones eating I believe. Such a nice place with even some private booths. We sat by window at a table with nice table cloths and by full bar. For starter we had cups of corn soup,$ 5 each. Came out hot , just the way we like it. I ordered the sausage pasta dish that was absolutely the best. Even had a little kick. Wide Noodles cooked perfect with tomatoes and slivers of onions I believe for $28.00. Husband had a noodle dish and added a order of meat balls too. He enjoyed his for totaling of $28.00. They had asked if we had reservations, so I bet they get busy. We were in and out quick. Upscale is what the are going for but we felt very relaxed with nice waiter. Maybe we can get that parking spot again sometime!

Best and most authentic Italian food in OKC. The pork chop is excellent. Great bar, great service.

This was a nice and quaint little spot. We came in as a party of 3 and sat at the bar. The entire restaurant was pretty full. Service at the bar was good, ambiance was super chill. For a solid half of our meal, there wasn't any music in the restaurant playing. I actually enjoyed that a bit. Food was interesting. I might not just be well informed on Italian food. But...the salad was pretty disappointing. I've never eaten an entire plate of just arugula. It was like 90% arugula... Entree was good, I had the Roman carbonara. Well seasoned. Dessert was the best part of the meal! The salted caramel gelato, peanut butter tart, and apple strudel all hit the mark.

Amazing food. Ambience was perfect., portions beyond fair, taste out of this world, hands down the best Italian food I've had yet. We ordered the Cacioe Pepe, lasagna, lemon drop and a glass of moscato. The bread yum yum yum!!! Storm was our waitress and she was attentive, had an amazing personality, and never left us waiting for nothing. She took very good care of us, I really wish I could get a to go box of this whole experience, the food, the service, and take it back to Oregon with me. You set the bar high!!!

First off the service was great and we didn't have to wait long. I thought that my girlfriend being Italian would enjoy some Italian food she couldn't wait. Turned out to a great disappointment all our food was the same portion which wasn't much , but what really ruined the meal was the amount of salt that seemed to be poured on all of our food , we went through a good amount of water to deal with the salty food , and the 152 bill was an insult . The server was very nice but we would never go again , warning if you have high blood pressure this place is going have you walking out dizzy.

Had to sit at the bar because there was a violinist performing nearby. We were the youngest couple there! Warm olives was interesting, tasty. We had the salmon special for $45, some cocktails and wine, and split a pear cheesecake which was good. It wasn't cheap, that's for sure.

Heard amazing things about this place, so decided to celebrate my birthday here with my husband. Had reservations for 7pm which included the special occasion. The table was in what was clearly a walkway - we were shoved in there in a high traffic area. Lots of fish aroma and noise coming from kitchen, waiters congregated chatting and in and out. Not the romantic Italian bistro experience we thought we were getting. Service was okay, but pretty slow. Birthday never acknowledged, not that we need a dessert or a song, but even asking if there was a celebration would have been nice. (ESP since it was on the reservation.) Food was over hyped. My husband's pork chop was dry. Pasta was good but very spicy with no other flavor. Overly expensive for what it is, and completely empty by 8pm on a Saturday. Lots of better places in okc to check out in my opinion.

What a treat we found here, thanks to Yelp! A weekend trip found us needing to overnight in OKC. We decided to make a run through the art museum and find dinner nearby. It was early, so thankfully we were able to find 2 seats at the bar. It's a small restaurant for sure, so I'm guessing reservations are advised. It was a top-notch experience from greeting, ambience, service by the bar staff, wine by the glass, specials, and food. We stuck to a couple of the normal pasta dishes - the carbonara and short rib ragu - and shared a slice of cheesecake. Perfect execution of everything. In a world of big plates of very mediocre Americanized "Italian" food, Patrono is an oasis. I highly recommend it.

Wow... so good! The ambiance was cozy with bluesy jazz softly playing. The service was exceptional! I had cocktail that had basil and lemon flavors with black pepper and sugar on the rim. It was unique! The bread was crusty and warm. It came with basalmic infused butter and a basil infused olive oil. I got the flavorful soup and my husband got Flatbread and shrimp. This place is a must try! 5 stars don't do it justice.

Weeelllll let me tell you about this FANTASTIC surprise of a find. We needed to find something in the area with gluten free options and this jewel of a restaurant popped up. It's nice and we weren't really dressed nicely but that didn't matter. The bartender and our waitress were so kind and helpful as I asked my list of gluten free and allergen questions. The GF food is prepared in a separate space and is truly GF. WOWZA!!! You aren't going to believe my next sentence....They brought out GF bread. This was my first out of body experience! I haven't ever had a restaurant in my beloved state of Oklahoma bring out true GF bread, just like they do for the real people!!! I wanted to hug the waitress but had already been awkward with my list of questions. That alone made my day. I ordered the Spicy Shrimp Amatriciana. They aren't exaggerating, itsa spicy! It's also delicious. I forgot what the proper name of the pork pieces in the dish are called but they taste like little crunchy bacon balls. Totally tasty. The group I ate with were all impressed with their full of gluten meals. We talked about the food the whole way home. This place is definitely now in my top 5 in OK.

Great date night location. Appetizer was phenomenal. The spreads that accompany the bread are amazing. My husband ordered the rabbit special which he enjoyed. The meat was incredibly tender. The ravioli with brown butter was a bit heavy for my personal taste. All staff were incredibly attentive. Highly recommend.

Hello OKC! This was our first date night as newbies in Oklahoma City and what a great restaurant we found! I called Saturday afternoon in hopes of making a reservation for a late dinner. The host was so very helpful and accommodating on the phone. We booked a table for two at 8pm. Upon arrival we were most kindly greeted. The host showed us right to our table. Our waitress was a complete gem! She welcomed us to OKC and shared all about the menu. We decided to start dinner with a bottle of Prosecco. Because why not?! I truly recommend the Borgoluce as it was delicate and deliciously dry! The more bubbles the better! For appetizer my partner ordered a cup of the Italian wedding soup( it was INCREDIBLE) and I had the mixed green salad. Per cena: we both were craving spaghetti and the bolognese hit the spot!! In short we were too full for dessert, but the gelato and panna cotta are on my eye for next time! Until then Patrono!

I have wanted to try this place, and after visiting it this week, I have to say that the food wasn't memorable. However, the complimentary bread for the table was great to compare to other Italian restaurants. The bread comes with an herb and olive oil and butter with a balsamic reduction spread. We started with the tomato bisque, and it was terrific. However, the main entree I got, a spinach pasta and asiago cream sauce, was quite bland even after mixing the sauce and pasta. It was creamy but had no other flavors. It wasn't until the pasta had been sitting out for a bit that I finally tasted some garlic. I also added some shrimps and was shocked to know that 5 pieces of shrimp cost $12. The cocktail that I had called Hibiscus Disco was herbal and refreshing. It was so tasty that I ended up getting two. Other than that, dinner could've been better.

My first visit to Patrono was as a solo dinner while visiting from out of town. Not only is this the most cozy, intimate, and romantic restaurant I've been to in years, the service and food topped the charts. I was surprised with how well the octopus was cooked especially being in the central US. It was phenomenally tender and the flavor was very hearty A+ My server, Grant was attentive, patient, and had some stellar recommendations when solicited. He even helped me choose a wine to pair with my dinner by bringing out two samples to taste. I couldn't have been happier with his suggestions. I opted to order the bottle since they could cork and bag it so that I can take it with me. Although I was the last table in the restaurant, I never felt rushed or inconvenient. Everyone made me feel so comfortable including the hostess, who was over the top friendly from the moment I walked in. Thank you Patrono, I will be back next time I'm in OKC!

This is a great place to celebrate something special or romantic. The atmosphere is quiet , light enough to see your menu and the service is spectacular, server magically appears whenever you need something. Our food was delicious and served at correct temp and time. I would recommend for couples or small groups.

We were downtown a few months ago for another event, which was cancelled so we decided to stay and eat since we don't get down there too often anymore. I had just talked to a business associate earlier in the week who is from another state. He was complaining about OK restaurants, but recommended Patrono. He raved about the chef and how it was the most authentic Italian he had here. We decided to "pop in" and see if we could get a table (on a Friday night no less). The hostess asked if we had a reservation, and I told her no. She said that they typically only take reservations but asked us to hold on for a minute. She came back over soon after and said she could get us in at the bar, which worked great for the two of us. Let me just say, the experience did not disappoint. From the bartenders to the wait staff, everything was exceptional. I can't remember the drinks we had, but they were delicious. Both of the bartenders were great at their jobs, outgoing, and professional. Lastly, were our entrees. The carbonara was recommended, so that's what I ordered. My wife got the spaghetti and could tell the difference between theirs and another, popular Italian place up north. I was thoroughly enjoying my meal, when the bartender looked at it and said, "Oh no. That's not the carbonara." It was so good I didn't even notice! I told him it was fine, but he insisted on actually bringing the carbonara out. He packed it in a to go box, but made sure I tried it while it was hot and fresh. It too was exceptional! Needless to say, we had a great experience and will be back. This time I'll try actually making a reservation.

We fondly remember Patrono and truly had one of our best meals here. We made a reservation for Thursday during the Arts Festival. All of the employees here could not be any friendlier or accommodating. We started with the warm olives (must order these on every visit) and then we had the escarole salad and the mixed green salad. I highly recommend the escarole---almost a meal in itself. Truly amazing with the fresh burata! Fresh bread came with the balsamic butter. Genius touch! I ordered the Bucatini Carbonara (bucatini pasta, guanciale, fresh peas, crushed red pepper, egg yolk, parmigiano-reggiano). I took a photo for its perfect egg yolk. Alas, it was a blurry mess. Pasta was delicious. The Hubs ordered the spicy sausage spaghetti. We also had a bottle of wine (reasonably priced, I might say). Everything was perfect. We will return!!!! Thanks for a great evening, Patrono staff!
