Sparrow Modern Italian

Loved everything about this place! Our waitress was great, shared all the best recommendations and so friendly. The food and drinks were delicious. We went with burrata and garlic knots for apps, and both were *chef’s kiss*. For dinner we all ordered different things, but personally I had the carbonara and loved every bite! Of course, you can’t skip dessert - so tiramisu! I love a good tiramisu and this one did not disappoint.

Got this to go and it was excellent! My first time eating here. Got the bolognese, lasagna, and meatballs with the polenta. Each were really good. Bolognese is definitely sausage and super rich. The meatballs and polenta are super good and creamy. Lasagna was great with lots of layers! Definitely ordering here again. I believe the noodles are even hand made.

Sometimes it takes to long to get out to a place you have wanted to try for a while. This is the case with Sparrow. I love Italian food and will be a harsh critic if you don’t bring the flavor. With that said, Sparrow has the flavor. We started with the meatballs with polenta. Deliciously seasoned meatballs that are not to big not to small. The polenta is creamy and a perfect partner to the meatballs. My girlfriend went with her favorite shrimp fettuccine and was pleased. I had the Cacio e Pepe. If an Italian restaurant doesn’t do this dish justice, then you should probably go somewhere else. I loved this Cacio e Pepe! The thick long noodles carried the ingredients with ease. It was lite, but full of all the right favors. I added some grilled chicken. The chicken was moist and tender. This is a great Italian food spot! Enjoy!

Server was great! We tried several items on the menu. All was good. The lasagna was exceptional. The meringue dessert was delicious. I prefer the mozzarella cheese sticks at Upper Crust but these were good too. Overall, it was an enjoyable experience with my husband. We had fun trying a restaurant to which we had never been.

I have absolutely no complaints! We were one of the first in the door and were greeted with a smiling face and given the option to sit anywhere! Prompt service followed where they took our drink orders and offered suggestions. The drink I ordered I had never had before, the waiter offered to wait to see if I enjoyed it... If not he would have given a replacement! The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were strong. A classy establishment. Will be back!

Took my wife here for our anniversary and it was a home run! My wife’s family is Italian (like born in Italy Italian) so she has very high standards and was blown away with the pasta, my ravioli was delicious although the portion was a bit smaller than I wanted but it makes sense if everything is made in-house. Our waitress was attentive the entire time and just had a bubbly, joyous attitude the entire time. The atmosphere wasn’t too bad, I would just say it was a little loud with everyone talking but I think it also speaks volumes to just how popular the restaurant is. We look forward to going back when we move back from Florida!

This was a phenomenal experience! The lobster and shrimp scampi starter was incredible. The steak was so tender you could cut it with a butter knife. My wife got the bolognese and it was to die for. I got the Arditi to drink and while I usually don’t enjoy most hard liquors, this was smooth and delightful. Definitely a place you have to try in OKC if you haven’t already. We’ve had lobster in Maine and this was on-par with that experience. Simply amazing.

The atmosphere and the service was fine. It seemed like they were a little understaffed but our food came out in a timely manner. The food made up for that. It was delicious. Some of the best Italian I’ve had in OKC. We ordered Caesar salads and the 100 Layer Lasagna. Can’t recommend enough!

We absolutely love their food. It's creative and not typical Italian. Their 100 layer lasagna (it's not what it sounds like) is a refreshing take on traditional lasagna. It's so amazingly flavorful - we get it every single time. They also have great craft cocktails. The service is always impeccable!

We live in the middle of OKC and it's impossible to get my husband to go anywhere north of Memorial unless it's REALLY good. Sparrow is REALLY GOOD and absolutely worth the little lie about it's location I had to tell him to get him to go. He loved everything and we'll definitely be going back for their crave worthy risotto and lasagna. Natalie was also the best server we've had anywhere in ages!

Delicious Italian food & great wine pairing!

I brought a large group to taste the new executive chef Jessie Gomez’s specials and WOW were we blown away!! Our table couldn’t stop raving about the quality of food and service we received from Auburn!! From the hostess to the guys clearing the tables everyone was so friendly, sharply dressed and most importantly a smile on their faces. We had not a want or need that wasn’t met. A truly FANTASTIC experience! Special s/o to Dakota their beverage manager who introduced us to some fabulous spirits and took great care of us the whole night. Lastly, if a restaurant is lucky they will have team members like Maki who elevated our evening from the second we walked in. 10/10 Pete would be so proud!

Guys, I loved it. New takes on old favorites abound at Sparrow Italian. Is the food homey? No, it's modern and unique and explosive with flavor. Instead of warm familiarity you get bold expressiveness. It's perfect if you're starting to get bored with the usual Italian place. There staff are all super friendly (though I'm not sure if I have a good frame of reference; since I moved here I've discovered Okies are the friendliest people I've ever met), and the night I went, Jacee the bartender was crushing it with a drink she invented. To sum up: Food? Great. Ambience? FRESH. Drinks? Top of the line. Service? Easton and Jacee were BUILT for this. Branding? These people wrote the book. 10/10 will return.

Stopped in with my kids and thought I had messed up. We were in workout clothes and this place is kinda fancy. We got treated just like everyone else and the food was GREAT! Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere. Not too nice but higher scale than the hideaway down the road. Good Italian spot in Edmond. Would recommend the meatballs. Would return.

My wife and I made our first visit the other night and it was great! The menu has a lot of options and food was excellent. The staff was courteous and professional and we will be going back on a regular basis.

I had a wonderful night out here with a group of friends! We ordered food and a bottle of wine for the table, all which our server Lily recommended. The food was great in quality and taste. Lily’s service was amazing and her recommendations were spot on! I will be coming back!

Excellent 100 Layer lasagna with very distinct flavors. Great Valentine's Day spot!

We came in on Friday night for dinner and we are so glad that we did! We were able to walk in and immediately get sat even though we did not make a reservation! Our bartender Mary was fantastic! She went through the drink menu and helped us a choose a great wine and later made the best martini I have EVER had. She did the same for the dinner menu and made suggestions for each course. I have to mention that she did all of that while still helping out the other people that were also sitting at the bar AND making drinks for everyone. The burrata appetizer was delicious! We shared the 100 layer lasagna and I believe it was the best lasagna either of us have ever had! We were so full but Mary raved about the tiramisu so we finished with that! It was overall a great experience and we will be back soon!

Sparrow is truly fantastic! I recently attended a wine dinner there, and every course from start to finish was absolutely amazing. The wines were perfectly paired with each dish, enhancing the entire experience. If I had one suggestion, it would be for the bar staff to be a bit more organized and attentive. Aside from that minor detail, everything was perfect!

The 100 layer lasagna is fantastic! Great service, too. Parking is usually available in the lot next to the restaurant, but on a busy night you might need to park a block or two away.

Food was wonderful, awesome lasagna and garlic knots....they were busy to it was a little loud in there....

We found this restaurant online & went because the reviews & menu were appealing. Mary was our waitress & was so welcoming, personable & informative. Everything from the wine list to the dessert was impressive! We had a glass of Valpolicello, a jalapeño Paloma, shared the meatball appetizer, a caprese salad & their lasagna & their special with short ribs, mushrooms & sweet potato crisps then a DIY cannoli & some fried pastries! Everything was divine! The house manager checked on us several times to make sure we were satisfied & had everything we needed. The ladies room was spotless too! If we are ever back this way again, we are coming here to have dinner!

We ordered the lasagna and the lemon fettuccine fettuccine alfredo. These dishes were executed with precision. We enjoyed the woven French techniques in the dishes. The sauces were clearly built with intention, reminiscent of a French gastronomy. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu and it was delectable!! Truly one of the best restaurants we have experienced.

Superb Holiday Dinner and Drinks! Highly recommend! Victoria, Lexy and the rest of the staff made our evening perfect. Subtle and classy Christmas decor add to an already great atmosphere, allowing for a real escape, while creating an intimate dining space to laugh with friends and loved ones. Everything was fantastic and seamless.

We have eaten here a couple times and the food is great. You can tell it’s freshly made and not frozen. Their 100 layer lasagna is amazing but get ready to go into a food coma. The staff is really friendly and when we went for a birthday dinner we had an ice cream cake and they were very accommodating. Definitely a nice place for a date night or celebration dinner.

The 100 Layer Lasagna was delightful and will now be a new comfort dish for me. The crispy artichokes weren’t my favorite but they were still good. Overall I enjoyed it very much.

Me and my high school girlfriends had a get together and had such a good time with great food and the service was excellent! Our waitress was Ashton and our Sommelier was Alex both gave great recommendations and made the experience fun. We will be back!

I’m traveling for work and one of the highlights of my day is choosing where to eat after a long day. I chose Sparrow, and I already told my coworkers, that I could have dinner here every day for the rest of my trip and be OK. Parking wad a little tricky when I first arrived, but I figured it out. I also had a brief moment of panic when the hostess asked me if I had reservations, but I was pleasantly surprised that they didn’t miss a beat and seated me immediately. This restaurant is a little higher end, but I was impressed at the approachability and general “fancy but friendly” vibe of the place. My plan going in was to order the hundred-layer lasagna and dessert, but when the server recommended the flash fried artichokes and feta, I couldn’t resist. I am pleased to report that everything was fantastic. The artichokes and feta were delicately charred and fried, and even better than I’d hoped! The hundred layer lasagna was also amazing, and it was a struggle to save half for tomorrow’s lunch. It was a perfect balance of noodles, crispy edges, cheese, and sauce. I ended the meal with the Italian meringue with lemon curd and roasted berries (I think) and I had to fight the urge to lick my plate! The server was very attentive And helpful, and I also noticed that the GM-or maybe even the owner-personally checked on every table. 100% five stars from me, I cannot wait to go back!

My husband and I visited for a date night for the first time. Service was great; they were very attentive to our needs. We made a reservation online and we were seated immediately, even though the place looked pretty full. The tables were fairly close, but there was still plenty of room between, as opposed to some of the reviews we read. The atmosphere was pretty noisy, so it was hard to hear each other. The parking lot was extremely small as is typical in this area of town, but we found a spot. The place is wheelchair accessible; it has a ramp leading up to the door, and the tables can accommodate. The food was good, but wasn’t stellar. We ordered Spicy Shrimp Lumache & Grilled Romesco Salmon; both were good. Fair warning - Spicy means spicy - it cleared my sinuses out! Overall we had a good time and will visit again.

Excellent food, very nice atmosphere, unique concept for modern Italian. My 1st visit. Word of mouth about the 100 layer lasagna led me here. The only disappointment I had was with the waiter. I won't refer to him as the server, because the folks that actually brought the food out were far more friendlier and attentive. Will I be back? Maybe. Don't let my review persuade you to not trying this place out, because you can tell this business is run with pride and somehow this waiter snuck in under their radar. Let's put it this way, I've received more attentive service at Chick-fil-A than I did here tonight. But enjoyed every bite. Thank you.

I have wanted to go here for some time. We were greeted immediately and taken to a table. Our server was nice and offered recommendations and checked back often. We got the garlic knots covered in Mozerrella. I was waiting for that punch of garlic that never happened. These were just meh. Wouldn't order again. My spaghetti with meatballs was good. Nice flavor on the sauce and fresh pasta was cooked well. We got the tiramisu for dessert. That was a miss. Neither of us loved it and we left it. I would go back again to try another dish or two because I want to love this local business. But this visit was just okay.

We got seated fairly quickly despite it being a Saturday and full. I ordered the jalapeño paloma, which was good but not at all spicy. My dad got the limon contento which was very sweet and not very lemony but not bad tasting. Three of us split the lasagna—phenomenal and definitely recommend—and the chicken parmesan. The latter needed more sauce, as it was very cheesy and just a touch dry. I'm usually the biggest chicken parmesan fan but wouldn't order this here again. In my opinion, the honey topping they provided didn't really do anything to compliment the for. All of the food was a bit small on portion for the prices. I would probably come back and try some other items.

Good food - good service. I love the gluten free options. The cauliflower crust was excellent and I love the fried chickpeas instead of croutons in the salad. I’m a fan of a clean fork with my entrees and was surprised that at this level of establishment I was asked not only if I wanted to keep my fork, but to hang onto it. Why is it so difficult to bring me a new one?

The 100 layer lasagna was layers of magical joy! The ambience and food choices are great and I'm looking forward to trying the DIY Cannoli.

Great local place. Clean, fresh and open atmosphere. Super yummy cocktails and the chicken Parmesan pizza was to die for.

Had the 100 layer lasagna, was alright but nothing amazing. Not worth the price. Service was great, atmosphere was decent, parking lot was an absolute headache. Most of the parking lot was flooded due to poor drainage. Was absolutely full as well besides the nearly foot deep puddle spots. Wasn’t even raining hard.

This was our first visit. We came for our Valentines Anniversary dinner. We started with the distilled water (they have tap, distilled & sparkling) and sweet tea. For our appetizer we enjoyed the meatballs which had a nice spice and polenta but wished the polenta would have been a little thicker, more of it & the ricotta. Our mains we chose the two specials seafood Risotto and Fillet with Asparagus and Mashed Potatoes with Crab and Hollandaise Sauce. We unfortunately were not impressed with the portions for the price and the seafood risotto should be marketed as appetizer. The amount of seafood on it was lacking. The Fillet minion was good but again portions were off needed more asparagus and crab. For dessert we enjoyed the baked Italian meringue with lemon curd and roasted berries. It was like fun-dip for adults! Overall our experience was lacking but the atmosphere and servers were great enjoyable.

Overpriced, mediocre Italian food. If you like big white plates with small portions and paying for “atmosphere,” it’s perfect. We went because someone kindly gave us a gift card and told us it was their favorite restaurant. The gift card, though for $50, paid only half our meal, and we split our main dish and ordered appetizer and dessert. Ouch. Food wise, maybe our expectations were too high? I don’t see what all the fuss is about. We’d rather go to Vito’s or Moni’s if it was still around. Way better food and wouldn’t cost a gift card arm and our own leg.

I really want to like this place. Have given it multiple tries. Atmosphere is lovely, staff are attentive. However, the food is just really not good. There are so many options in the area in this price range and culinary style that are leaps and bounds better. Bar drinks are great, however extremely over priced. Not something I normally complain about. But 18$ for a glass of house cab is excessive. Maybe I caught them on five bad nights.
