Overall I'm giving Tellers 5 stars. The food was very good, but if you're just wanting the best Italian food in OKC and don't care as much about the environment, I'd say check out Gabriella's. The environment at Tellers is unique in a good way and worth going at least once just to see it. The service was exceptional. The prices were perhaps just a little high for what you get. Definitely recommend eating here if you haven't already.

Very welcoming as soon as you walk in. Great atmosphere over all. Our server Carson was top notch and very friendly and playful , he gave us a great experience. Servers besides him brining our food/ appetizers were also insanely nice. Food was DELICIOUS and I’m not a pizzeria kind of person. The dessert was one of the best I’ve ever had and my boyfriend and I will be making this place our regular spot. 100/10 definitely recommend. Big shout out to Rudy for recommending this place to me.
