  This charming trattoria was the perfect place for my lunch date yesterday!
  
  The staff was welcoming and friendly, service was quick and seem less.
  
  I had the Cobb salad which was delightful (can't wait to have it again) and my date tried one of the the flat breads (pizza).  We were both extremely happy with the food and can't wait to go back!

  Loved this place!!  Loved the ambiance, location, server, decor, wine menu, and dinner--all of it! I was especially impressed with their wine menu.  They had my favorite Chardonnay you can't find anywhere around here.  I was very pleased with the option of Kimmel Chardonnay from Mendocino County, California.  Anyway, I definitely will be back soon in hopes to sit up in the cozy loft again.  I also would love to visit for lunch sometime or even go chill at the charming looking little bar one evening.  I definitely recommend this place. It seemed too good to be true to have here in Tulsa.

  Very cool bar and great feel to restaurant.  Portions are modest so don't be afraid to order salad, side or risotto. Good Northern Italy food (not many red sauce dishes).

  I can only speak to the bar now as we didn't eat here yet!  I like high end places and this is one!!  Drinks are handmade and pricey!  Service is personal and excellent!  I'm looking forward to eating here!!

  I'm trying really hard to stop spending so much each time I go out to dinner so initially I vetoed this place when my sister-in-law suggested it.  The primis are somewhere between $15-$20 and the secondis are upwards of $20.  However, they had homemade pasta on the menu and it was really close to the Tulsa Performing Arts Center that we were going to after dinner.  So, I finally agreed.  
  
  The space was a little tight but fairly well decorated.  They have this large curtain draped along side the bar that gives it that old-school theatre feel.  The lighting could have been a little more ambiant but overall, the space was fine.
  
  Our waitress was fantastic.  She was on point, able to answer all of our questions and politely let us know she would check when she didn't have the answer.  I know that seems standard but for some reason it felt above and beyond.
  
  The food was all great - we had several dishes and split them:
  
  Appetizer:
  1.  Risotto balls - a little dry and needed salt but the sauce that went with it was great
  2.  Side of kale  - a little oily but still really good
  
  Main:
  1.  Cavatelli - house made.  Everything on it was great but the pasta was a little hard.  I think this was probably the first dish they prepared and it just sat there while the others were cooking.  Not sure why else is would be so tough.
  2.  Lobster ravioli (without the lobster for us since we are vegetarian) - stuffed with ricotta and really well prepared.
  3.  Saffron risotto - delicious and perfectly runny as risotto should be. Flavors were complex and interesting.  I guess a little saffron does that.  
  4.  Brussel sprouts (without the bacon) - delicious
  
  All in all, we really enjoyed our meal and will be back.

  Stop the presses: First!
  
  Big J Thompson fan, particularly Juniper.  This is in the Philtower space held most recently (briefly) by Edward Delk; immediately next to the Downtown Courtyard Hotel/ Atlas Life Building.  You have a good shot to find metered street parking during the daytime at least.
  
  OK- on to the food!  Had lunch today with a couple colleagues.  So this is a prime-style Italian restaurant experience.  Full bar, linen table cloths, and a step up in price (as a website perusal will reveal).  Our service was competent and at a suitable pace.  Seemed like the waiter was just a little green as to the menu--makes sense since they just started doing lunch last week.  
  
  I had the garlic herb chicken; colleague the cavatelli (chicken, prosciutto, asparagus over pasta); other guy the Uovo Fritto (a fanciful caesar salad with a breaded/ fried egg on top--splendid visual effect!).  Everything was flavorful, plated well, and appeared to be fresh; no evidence of warming tables here!
  
  Upon our food arriving--this is important--I quickly ordered a fried risotto cake appetizer for the table to share.  Menu is a la carte.  That did not surprise me; portions however are on the small side.  None of us ordered the "large portion" that the actual lunch menu (in restaurant/ not online) offered.
  
  Cliffs:  
  + Food was enjoyable.
  + If you're a big ole boy/ or just really hungry--you're going to want larger portion -or- to layer your meal with an app or salad.
  + For a first time lunch, good not great.  
  
  Looking forward to trying with the wife for dinner.  *reviewer reserves the right to do a follow up review & bump this place up to 4-stars thereafter.*
