tucci's cafe italia

well done!. i went to tucci's for the firsttimeand had dinner on the sidewalk cafe tonight. kudos to chad, my server, who orchestrated a great meal--he knows everything about the food on the menu, knows his wines, does his job with class and has genuine enthusiasm about doing a good job. the italian bread came with olive oil and crushed garlic for dipping--yum! the salad was excellent. the chicken scallopini was deliciously tender and creamy. the gelato and coffee was the perfect wind up. nexttimei have to try the aribiata!

tucci's has really gone downhill. they have never had the best service, but usually the food makes up for the fact that the staff seems set on ruining your experience. keeping this in mind, we decided to try takeout today. huge mistake! the salads were without dressing or breadsticks, and mine had a serious limit on toppings to go with the dried out chicken. completely inedible, and a waste of money. you'd be better off going to a fast food drive thru. when i called to complain, they offered to let us come back and get what was missing. so i called again and asked for a manager (fyi - there isn't one during the day) and spoke to cecelia, who did at least apologize, since she was the one who messed up the order. her suggestion "to make it up to" us was that we should ask for her nexttimeand she'd personally make sure we had everything in our order. little consolation to someone who will be skipping lunch $20+ poorer today and can't imagine why i'd go back to allow her to ruin my busy day again.

tucci's cafe. firsttimein so i asked our waiter, chad, for suggestions. he really took care of us. our food was great and you could tell our waiter was passionate about the food because he knew just what to serve us. he paired our wine with a dessert as well. the atmosphere of the restaurant was nice as well: dim lighting, italian music. our waiter really made our first experience great. i will definitely ask for him again when we go back and let him do all the ordering again!

fantastic food. last night i went to tucci's for the firsttimewith my brother and his girlfriend. the selection was great and our server, chad, gave us great suggestions. we each got different dishes and each was delicious. all the flavours were vivid and complemented each other well. chad's service was great, and the atmosphere was very pleasant. i will definitely be going back whenever i'm in tulsa again.

romantic, delicious food, and perfect service.. perfect place for a romantic dinner or drinks. this is the secondtimewe have been tucci's and it is without a doubt one of our favorite restaurants and our favorite italian restaurant. the firsttimewe visited we sat on the patio. the service was great and the food was excellent. most recently, 9/10/14, i took my wife there for our anniversary. i called the day before and spoke with the hostess, sara, and asked about reservations. she told i didn't need them and she would be working that evening and would be sure and take care of us. she did not disappoint, we arrived and she sat us in a secluded, dark corner booth. she even offered to take my sports jacket, something you rarely see, and is a huge traditional courtesy, to me. the ambiance was perfect for a romantic dinner; corner booth, dim lights, candle light, and great music in the background. the experience didn't stop there either. chad, the manager, was our server, and he is service personified. we were out for a great experience and we got it. we never felt rushed, never went without food or drink. his timing, recommendations, and conversations were perfect. the food was phenomenal! i had a filet with a spicy lemon sauce topped with shrimp and capers on a bed of linguine. my wife had the ravioli with a creamy vodka sauce. truly some of the best service by everyone complemented by delicious food!

slow service. secondtimein here and the service was unbelievably slow. i was charged extra for something i didn't order. won't be back

terrible service. i went to tucci's for a work lunch. it took so long for the waitress to bring our drinks and food that when the food arrived we asked her to bring us boxes and tickets. we sat at the table at least 10 minutes before she came to get our cards and tickets we immediately had available. after calling our work to tell them we were going to be longer than expected, the waitress brought back our cards and receipts to only to find out she had charged the more expensive meal and drinks on both of our cards. we had wasted so muchtimewaiting for her to even bring the receipts that it wasn't worth waiting for her to correct her mistake and forfeited the money. for only having 6 tables in use, and more than just one waitress, i really figured they would have had a more functional restaurant. i've been in the food service.. 6 tables should not have been that big of an issue. their calzone was great, but like so many other reviews of this restaurant, the service really ruined the dining experience.

wouldn't know - the hostess told us 20 minutes. 40 minutes later we still hadn't been seated and she spent most oftimeoutside talking to a skater, not even a customer. nice first impression!!

liked it. my firsttimehere. had the chicken fetticini. it was pretty good although i have had better cuts of chicken in the past. but it was good. server was excellent. bread was excellent. i would go again and try something new. i do recommend it however.

last meal of the year. my boyfriend and i came in on new years eve and were immediately seated. we had stuffed mushooms for a starter (so tasty) he ordered the osso bucco and i had the cappellini di mare.

both dishes were absolutely amazing. i was a little jealous of the osso bucco to be honest. the meat was so tender it fell off the bone. the cappellini was buttery and the shrimp was delicious. aside from the food being amazing our waiter ( i believe his name was chad) was awesome. he was fast and really enjoyable to talk to. he even went behind the bar and made my martini himself, which if i might add was strong and well mixed with a great peach flavor. it was our firsttimeto visit tucci's and the chef (i want to say his name was curt...maybe he was a manager) came and visited the table. everyone was so friendly. the restaurant had a nice feel to it. i can't really describe it in another way but we both left smiling. we will both definitely be spreading good words and will also be coming back. thanks for an awesome last meal of 2011, tucci's. well done.

ossobucco. oh my god. amazing.

love love the food!! the bartender (ken) was very helpful w/ making a good decision on our wine!! enjoyed mytimethere, chad made the night perfect!! we plan on going again !!

the atmosphere is romantic and charming. ken helped me and my wife and he made are night a night we will never forget. their food is wonderful and full of flavor. my wife is on a gluten free diet and ken made a custome dish for my wife. they go the extra mile to please their customers. we will defiantly go again and recommend that anyone who loves good food and a goodtimeto go to tucci's.

way over priced. my husband took me there for my birthday. it was the firsttimethat i have eaten there. the menu is very limited and very expensive. the server was very quiet and barely talked. he didn't make any recommendations or tried to even talk to us. the food was good, but for that price i would rather go to zio's or olive garden.
i do love the atmosphere. it is very nice. lots of little kids out on the patio. but i doubt that i will ever go back.

will never dine there again. rudest manager i have ever seen in my life. service was barely adequate. food mediocre at best, very limited menu, way overpriced. would not accommodate any requests if not exactly on the menu. extreme limitations on non alcoholic beverages, although we asked for something popular that they didn't serve and we got charged for it on the check anyway. don't waste yourtimeor money just to be insulted continuously.
