My husband and I were in the mood for some good Italian food and I remembered coming here a few years ago with my sister and daughter who live in the area and enjoyed the food and ambience.
The restaurant is quite large and has a formal setting with dark wood and feels like you're visiting your nonna in Italy.
They have an outdoor patio area that looks like it would be nice to sit outside on a warmer day.
We ordered a bottle of the Closer a nice Cabernet from Paso Robles, one of our favorite places to go for wine tasting. They have an extensive selection of wine and pretty high end bottles

Homemade pasta. I could stop with that, but I’ll tell you more. We were really impressed by Villa Ravenna. The intimate, candlelit atmosphere is as close to an authentic Italian restaurant as we’ve ever experienced in Oklahoma. We had excellent service all evening, attentive but not annoying. I ordered the seafood linguine special and my husband had lasagna with wild boar sausage. Our only disappointment was that the lasagna noodles were very thin. We took cannolis to go and they were fabulous!

Nice atmosphere and rather efficient but oddly distracted wait staff. The food was not equal to their prices. The ceaser salad had bottled creamy dressing and probably Kraft parmesen cheese sprinkled on it. The risotto tasted like paste and the mushrooms were not seasoned. The bay scallops were ok but not interesting. The first basket of bread was four pieces of soft Italian bread with garlic. The graciously presented second was filled with burnt toast. The veal parmesen was standard. Find another place worthy of top dollar prices.

This was our first time to visit Villa Ravenna, it was awesome. We started off with the escargot and prosciutto wrapped scallops, both a little pricey, however the escargot was really good. The prosciutto was a little thick around the scallops and made it a little hard to chew but they were still decent. We then spilt the veal piccata, such good flavor. I will say their portions are more on par of what we are probably supposed to be eating not the I ate half of my plate and it doesn't look like I put a dent in it. To top off are delicious meal we had the bread pudding, if it's on

We had an absolutely perfect evening at Villa Ravenna. The bruschetta appetizer was perfection, my husbands Caesar Salad was perfect and both of our lasagnas were perfection. He ambiance, with he white table clothes and old world feel are perfect. The owner came around and greeted everyone, which was SO special. You really have the authentic Italian feel here, and he house mad pasta couldn't be better. Go here, fir Tulsa best, most authentic Italian evening. And make a reservation!

This place is always delicious and perfect for date night!! We started with lemoncello mules and an off menu appetizer. The mules had a little too much ginger beer for our taste, but the appetizer was very fresh and good! My husband had the tenderloin with Alfredo and I had the tortelloni. Both very good! You can't go wrong here for good Italian! It's fresh and authentic!

Large space restaurant. Tables are not crammed together like other fine dining restaurants. Drink specials are great. Menu options are grande to other similar restaurants of the same caliber. Villa Ravenna also has many more exotic choices such as escargot, wild boar, foot long shrimp from Madagascar.
A dinner for 2 will definitely run you over a hundred dollars which is normal for similar restaurants with same quality. However, as good as Villa Ravenna is a close 3rd behind Prissimo and Mondos when it comes to their linguine and fettuccine.
This restaurant was the first time I tried escargot

My favorite restaurant. The food and service are always excellent. Tonight we celebrated my grandsons 14th birthday and he chose this restaurant to celebrate it. He had the lobster ravioli and loved it. My wife had the lasagna bolgnese and loved it. I had the Chilean sea bass ala romana which had in addition to the perfectly cooked sea bass, scallops, mussels and shrimp and I loved it. Excellent service as well. For special occasions or just wanting a great meal, this is the place.

THE BEST Italian in Tulsa. I live in Kansas City but travel to Tulsa frequently for work. Villa Ravenna is a go to for me everytime I’m in town. Delicious authentic Italian with an extensive menu and wine list. Even simple items like their house salad (think fresh tomato, avocado and hearts of palm with home made Italian dressing) are exceptional. And it’s not just the food that’s great,...you can always expect top notch service from their entire staff. You will be taken care of! They have even taken extra measures to ensure a safe dining experience during this time of the pandemic. Hands

AMAZING! I flew in from CA to celebrate my birthday with my family and my sister set up the whole dinner for me. Our waiter William was amazing! Gave us excellent recommendations and explained the wines and other drinks very well. The owner stopped by to check on our table several times, even gave my niece a clean table cloth to cover up because she was cold.
Now the food! Unreal! Everyone ordered a different dish and everything was exceptional! As for the dessert, Limoncello cake all the way! Unbelievably good. I wish I could give more stars. Excellent establishment

Honestly, this place is just way too expensive for me. I get the appeal. It's a classy, authentic Italian place. But it's so ridiculous expensive, and if you're lactose intolerant, they literally have ONE option for you. So $20 for some lackluster pasta primavera just doesn't do it for me. On the other hand, my parents love it. They break their diets for the lasagna, I think, and they say it's marvelous.
Parking seems adequate, it's in a complex, so depending on what time you go, it should be fine.
I saw a listing on the table for some type of alcohol that was

I have been here three different times. They have beautiful ambience and wonderful waitstaff. The food is presented beautifully and most of it is out of my price range LOL. I ordered the lasagna this time which I had never had before and I have to say that I don't love their Bolognese. I really wanted to. But it just didn't excite me. I will go again most likely for a special occasion but I won't order that again. Our waiter was very nice and everything was very prompt and displayed beautifully. It was nice and quiet with some Italian light opera playing in the background.
