If you're looking for an amazing family-owned Italian restaurant, you should definitely check out Othello's. My family and I love to gather here to celebrate special occasions and enjoy a wonderful Sunday dinner. Every visit to Othello's is a highlight of my week. The food is outstanding, and the chef's specials are truly impressive. What I appreciate most about Othello's is its warm and welcoming atmosphere. It's no surprise that this restaurant is one of the most popular spots in Norman. The staff feels like an extended family, and they go out of their way to ensure guests feel at home. The owners take great pride in upholding Othello's excellent reputation, and manager Jen is a vital part of that success. She always greets patrons with a smile and exemplifies true hospitality. We are thankful for the warm welcome and will certainly be back!

I'm not sure what's going on with Othello's. My family and I have been enjoying meals here for 15 years and have always had a great experience. However, lately, the service has been disappointing. During my last visit, the food didn’t meet the usual standards—the stuffed mushrooms were small, and the chicken was rubbery. The service was also slow and disorganized. To the owners, I urge you to focus on enhancing the quality of both the food and service instead of making excuses. Let's work together to restore Othello's to its former glory and stop cutting corners. That said, I will continue to return for the delicious coconut pie.

We had a wonderful experience at this restaurant during our first visit. My husband chose the shrimp and vegetables served with angel hair pasta, while I went with the waitress's suggestion of fettuccine noodles topped with flank steak in a delightful caper sauce. We also shared a stew and finished our meal with a slice of coconut cream pie for dessert. We highly recommend this restaurant to others!

Went Saturday. On game days, we usually go to a pizza place, and by the time we leave, I am super anxious. This was a great experience! I had cheeses ravioli with a spinach cream sauce. It was amazing! Our waitress was fabulous!
