    Special cocktail!!!
    Jim L.

    A wonderful dining experience...the ambiance of an Italian cafe, signature cocktails and delicious pasta. It was a wonderful and delicious meal. Adding protein is an extra cost, but worth it. We loved the meatballs! Dessert, not pictured was bread pudding...made with bread from Country Bird bakery it had a unique texture...but in a good way! It was delish! Service was impeccable and their barkeep was hoppin but worked like the definition of efficiency...I don think they stopped the entire time we were there. The only thing missing was arriving on a Vespa.

    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!

    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!

    My experiences here has always been so great! The food is absolutely amazing and just the right portion, and don't get me started on the decor, I need the same designer for my house! Every time I got the staff is very friendly as well!

    Fall Cinnamon Whisky Sour

    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!

    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.

    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.

However, I was expecting a lot more from the abruzzi by the sea- presentation was great but it lacked salt and the sauce was barely there- needed much more lemon. Calamari was super tasty - would get it again. The clam chowder was one of the most flavorless clam chowders I've ever had, honestly think the one at Walmart is better. Also tried the fettuccini and it needed a stronger cheese or something- it had zero kick. It's a nice place but for the price you pay I would have expected better flavors.

It was a hand-formed 8oz patty, and the chef was able to make it a perfect medium rare. It was delectably juicy, seasoned just right, and the cheese, peppers, onions and tomatoes topped it off perfectly.

    Came on a Saturday night and it was packed! We didn't have a reservation so we sat at the bar. This…read morerestaurant is sort of tucked away and the main entrance is through a building. Decor is dim and intimate, very nice. It was fun watching the bartenders mixing and crafting drinks. The patrons here kept them busy. I ordered an espresso martini without Bailey's (Oren's way), which was decent. For dinner we had the lamb shoulders, brussel sprouts and a burger. The lamb came unexpected in almost a meatloaf shaped slide and it was tender flavorful. Quite good! The Brussels sprouts were nicely done and tasty. As for burger, I was indifferent on. I had a friend who said it was his favorite, but I thought it was fine. They need to change the buns. The fries were awesome. Looking forward to coming back again!

    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.

The black & blue: some great flavor from the cheese, tomatoes, pickled red onion, nonmemorable horseradish sauce, pretty presentation. My opinion, leave off what little steak there is. Adds nothing to the flavor, only some tough chew bites. The crust: I know there's argument here. I'm usually for good char on a pizza (I've had pizza all around Italy).
