   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.

   Our first time to visit Sparrow. Best part was our server Becca. So cheery, helpful, very attentive, and professional. Worst part, it was a cold night and every time the door opened we were exposed to a cold draft. The garlic knots were really good to start with. Caesar salad had a light dressing which I liked. We chose 100 layer lasagna for entree. The Italian sausage was spicy but good. The thin pasta was a nice texture and tasty. Nice change from the normal thick noodles and cheeses. For dessert we went with the Italian ice cream wedding cake. It was enormous, enough for at least 4 people. Very good flavor for chocolate lovers like us. I would suggest they take it out of the freezer for awhile before serving. It was so hard we could not get a spoon or knife in it. We took most of it home. After a 30 minute ride in the car, we could actually take a spoonful of it. Overall Sparrow's is a nice place to get a different kind of Italian cuisine. We will go back again.

   The best chicken piccata I’ve had in my life! Homemade Pucatini noodles with grilled chicken. This is the best place to eat in Oklahoma!

   Best lasagna in town every time. Salmon is outstanding as well. Busy night so a bit on the noisy side but not awful. Always friendly staff and timely service. A larger dining area to allow table spacing would be the only suggestion for an otherwise lovely establishment.

   This was our first time to Sparrow and we really enjoyed it. The service was terrific. We had an appetizer, salad, entrees, and a desert. I had the steak and my wife had the special which was the chicken picatta. My steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. My wife picatta was good but could maybe have used a little more sauce. Overall it was a great experience and I think we will be back.

   I went to Sparrow Italian this evening to celebrate an important event, but I often go there for no other reason than to enjoy the food, the ambiance, and the attentive staff. Sparrow is my favorite restaurant. It's that simple.

   Lasagna was good was very disappointed that you “ran out of bread “ whatever that means. I saw bread going all over the place in the kitchen. Service was not adequate. Dirty plates left on the table slow service. Was sat in the back and felt like we kinda got forgotten about.
