Bean dip and menu
Kimberly H.

Malfi was a pleasant surprise on Brookside. The food is light and fresh. The bean dip recommended by our server did not sound appetizing to me, but at his suggestion we gave it a try. OH MY GOODNESS! It was amazingly delicious. I'm so glad we went with his recommendation. The Tagliatelle Bolognese was divine! Light, perfect pasta and enough to save for later. The spaghetti was fresh and robust. I suggest adding the meatballs. The Bucatini with Pesto was the best pesto pasta dish I've ever had. Light and the perfect amount of pesto. Suggest adding the grilled chicken to that one if you want a protein- but it is absolutely not necessary. We will definitely be back. Service was impeccable. Atmosphere is good. It does get a little loud in the high traffic dinner time but not too loud. Bar is phenomenal. Really happy to have found this place.

spaghetti with meatballs
Ashley D.

This was such an amazing and authentic Italian experience in Tulsa! Our waitress was very knowledgeable in the menu and had great recommendations. I got the spaghetti and meatballs, and I loved the mixture of meats in the meatballs. The portion size was great, and my friends said the salmon was delicious! The restaurant itself was warm and inviting, down to the newspaper-style menu!

Tagiolini al burro with butter, Parmesan and chives + Hotel Nacional cocktail
Kristen C.

Love the ambiance of this place feels like an Italian vacation inside! The waiters were great to answer questions and choose between different options. They recommended a great cocktail. I enjoyed my food, it was delicious. The dish I tried definitely leans a little less cream and more buttery, it was good but different. You have a choice to add protein to dishes and I added chicken and that was a good choice!

Kristina M.

Amazing time! Beautiful restaurant, and the ambiance and atmosphere was a 10/10! The waitress had great recommendations, we started off with the white bean dip and sourdough, for dinner. I had the bucatini, which was so flavorful! I enjoyed a Hotel Nacional cocktail, and Sancerre wine with dinner. The dessert was amazing, ricotta cake with diplomat creme and Lemon curd!

Fall Cinnamon Whisky Sour
Gina G.

Visiting Malfi finally for the first time. This place is a poplar Brookside establishment in the Center One complex with great ambiance, and nifty menus. Great pasta and short ribs! They serve the sought after Country Bird Sourdough on several antipasti dishes and it's toasted and sprinkled on their ceasar salad. Run in quick for the fabulous fall drink special called the Fall Cinnamon Whiskey Sour.

Malfi is a new restaurant in heart of Brookside. The vibes are costal-chic and resemble the Almalfi Coast. I loved the color palate they chose inside. It's an Italian restaurant with house-made pastas. They have these cool newspaper menus. We tried a bit of everything. Carpaccio, Cesar salad with chicken, bolognese, rigatoni vodka pasta with meatballs. All dishes were 10/10 in flavor! We all agreed we thought our server acted as she didn't want to be there which was unfortunate because we loved every other aspect of the restaurant. I recommend this restaurant for date nights, date days, lunch with friends. We went for lunch and had reservations but probably didn't need them because it wasn't extremely busy. I'd imagine at night especially on the weekends getting a reservation would be best!

Burrata & prosciutto
Kris P.

We tried Malfi with a group of 6. Service was excellent and I can't wait to go back. We started with the white bean dip & sourdough bread. I would HIGHLY recommend. We also tried the prosciutto and even though it was an overall hit with the group, I wasn't a huge fan. For dinner, my husband had the bolognese which was amazing. I ordered the Caesar salad and added chicken. It was okay but I most likely won't order again. Ambience is airy and open. There is a nice bar area with a full wine list & delicious cocktails.

Pasta Bolognese
Jill G.

Really enjoyed the experience here. Only tried the pasta so I can't say about the other dishes, but this is very enjoyable. Nice subtle flavor.

Menu
Kathryn E.

We joined some friends for dinner here and had a really nice time. The vibe is really fun! Great decor, friendly staff. Menus are so cool - they look like a newspaper. We shared an app that was pretty good - the Burrata cheese and bread. I ordered the pasta with creamy basil sauce with grilled chicken. It was okay - I didn't love it. The noodles were a little more firm than I was expecting. Not a ton of flavor. The grilled chicken was my favorite part of that dish. My friend ordered the same and loved it, so you might too? My husband ordered salmon and it was AMAZING - some of the best I've ever eaten! I'm getting this next time! The service was excellent!!!! The restaurant is in a nice part of town. We enjoyed walking around after dinner. Overall - great experience!

This is the absolute best Italian in Tulsa. My husband and I have a tradition where we go to eat Italian on 23 December every year. This tradition has gone on over five years and wow, this place was the absolute best. The service was amazing. The food was the best Italian we've had in town and that's saying a lot considering we spent two weeks in Italy earlier this year. The pasta was equal to what we had in Rome in Florence. The staff was prompt, courteous, and wonderful. They stuck us in the back in the ambience was delightful. I highly recommend

Ricotta cake with lemon curd
Sarah W.

Could this place get any better? Everytime I go, it gets better! My favorite app is the white bean dip, but the arancini is amazing too. You can't go wrong with the Bucatini with whipped burrata and pesto or the Bolognese. The lemon ricotta cake is moist and decadent while being light and refreshing at the same time. Service is always great, and the decor is stunning. Can't wait to go back!

Panna cotta w/fruit conserva
Debra K.

I didn't even know this location (formerly Freya) had reopened. The Hubs surprised me with a pre-Valentine's Day dinner here. This spot is definitely experiencing a "hot & new" reputation so I would highly recommend reservations. That being said, our reservation was for 8 pm and we were seated promptly but around 8:30 the place was emptying out. There were a few spots at the bar when we were seated. Maybe roll the dice... I love the decor, beachy but minimal. Definitely not over the top. The signage for the bathrooms is so cute! Trunks for one and a bikini for the other. I would never have known Freya was here. The bean dip was good and the bread is amazing. I would have liked some more of that bread with our entrees. I really thought everything was priced well. Our entrees were around $15. I had the Bucatini (with basil cream, pesto and whipped burrata). Really delicious! We tried the panna cotta for dessert. It was good but I wish we had tried something else. The fruit "conserva" seemed like dried cherries. The cherries were a good compliment to the panna cotta. I want the ricotta cake on our next visit. I also want to just sit and nosh on the appetizers--some more of that bean dip with Arancini and the Malfi Tomato Toasts and the Pork & Beef meatballs. It sounds wonderful to just sit at the bar, have some signature cocktails and go through the "Not Pasta" menu. There are a few wines by the glass and a few beers. Look for a five star review on the next visit. I just wanted more bread.

White bean dip
Susan D.

We were a party of 5 co-workers on business travel- they gave us the large table up front by the window. Loved the 'newspaper' menus. Small menu but many good options. We all enjoyed their signature appetizer- white bean dip on sourdough. Cocktails were fantastic- I had the limoncello spritz. We all prefer and enjoyed pasta- but only the top two pasta options on the menu are 'fresh' pasta if that matters to you. The bolognese dish was fantastic. We were too full for dessert. Service was excellent.

I loved my food! Even though the portion sizes were small, my food was very filling and very tasty. I loved the white bean dip with bread.

My husband ordered a limon dish. The food was wonderful. All the orders come with a choice of super salad. We both chose Caesar salad which was plentiful and almost filling by itself. You also get fresh made bread hot out the oven. The food is cooked to order. The shrimp and the scallops on my dish were buttery. My husband took one bite sat back and said I'm so happy to be here LOL. We decided to splurge for a dessert and we got the tiramisu and I will never regret it. It was so light and flavorful. I'm a coffee drinker. My husband isn't but we both almost fought over the last piece. It was so good that we returned a few days later with a friend for lunch and the food was just as good. I believe I took pictures of all of our dishes. I'll post them...

We ordered takeout from Mondo's tonight and were told pickup would be ready in 25-30 minutes. My…read moredaughter and I arrived a little early and called to let them know we were waiting out back. It was a Friday night, so we were patient and gave them extra grace for being busy. After waiting well past the quoted time, we continued to sit and wait with no update. At 48 minutes after placing the order, I finally called again. We were put on hold for several minutes, then told they'd bring it right out. When the food finally came, the explanation was vague, something about the takeout staff shifting to another task, which only made me wonder how long the food had actually been sitting there. The takeaway here: if your pickup time has passed, don't assume they're still working on it, call and check. Being overly patient may just mean you end up bringing home cold food. Disappointing experience, especially given the price and the simple expectation of timely pickup service.

What a fantastic little find!…read more We stopped by for brunch as this "Mediterranean-inspired" brunch caught our eye. It lived up to our expectations and exceeded them. The restaurant is bright, clean, and modern. We started with the Smooth Criminal cocktail and the Pineapple Sangria. Both great. Well balanced, unique ingredients, everything you want in a unique cocktail. We did order the whipped feta appetizer, but unfortunately they were very busy and there was some miscommunication. We didn't get to eat it at the restaurant, but they kindly packaged it for us to take home and we enjoyed it later. Although it was good, it would have been way better fresh. But these things happen, it didn't spoil our brunch. On to the mains: lamb shoulder hash...at brunch? Yes, please!!! Topped with two perfectly poached eggs, and brunch potatoes on the side with a nice crisp salad and fresh bread. The lamb was seasoned to perfection, and melted in my mouth. The biggest surprise for me were the potatoes. Brunch potatoes are usually overly greasy and bland. These were fresh, salted, and had the perfect crispness. I would like to think they are fresh, but even if they're frozen...well done! I would have happily eaten 2-3 of these lamb dishes. The French toast was the second entree. Brown butter and maple foam, on top of a piece of French toast that is the size of a small child. Even with all of the sauce, the toast was still crisp. It was a very heavy dish, some fresh berries with some acidity would be nice to cut through it, but the overall flavor was on point. The wine list is exquisite. If you enjoy good wine, this is the spot for you. Their reserve list has some absolute bangers on it at a very reasonable price. All in all, it was a nice experience. We would happily recommend and return.

Huge bar, great selection of whisky! Im pregnant so couldn't partake. But, just looking at…read moreeveryones fancy drink orders was fun and they all looked amazing. Ambiance reminds me of a fancy place you would find in a larger city. Upscale and minimalistic. Very pleasant. I sat at the bar so unsure about service at a table. Unfortunately, I felt overlooked at the bar, especially since I wasn't drinking. The staff was extremely busy making drinks and I had to get their attention whenever I needed anything. Would recommend making reservations to get a table seat to receive proper service. I ordered the burger with fries. Cooked well but the flavor was nothing special. Will return and try something else!
