Sparrow Modern Italian: Reviews & Ratings
Ash Marie provided top notch service, first and foremost. We never felt rushed, never had to ask for anything and everything was timed perfectly. The food was equally on par with the service. I had the Sparrow negroni. No complaints. Then I tried the Caesar salad, a must try, along with the burrata which was also perfection. I had the spicy shrimp and tasted of my coworkers dish, which was the special featuring a pesto cream sauce. He added crab. I actually preferred the special to the spicy shrimp pasta, but that is no knock on the dish, only my preference between two outstanding and perfectly prepared dishes. I recommend everything I had and will be returning the next time I'm in the area.
I've liked coming here and really enjoy the food. The 100 layer lasagna is good (even when I had it 2 days later reheated it was still top notch), the Lobster Shrimp Scampi is so delicious, and I throughly enjoyed the House Tiramisu. You can make a reservation online (which I really appreciate), no need to dress fancy (jeans/casual is just fine), and I really appreciate how the restaurant is not wasteful either.
We came in on Friday night for dinner and we are so glad that we did! We were able to walk in and immediately get sat even though we did not make a reservation! Our bartender Mary was fantastic! She went through the drink menu and helped us a choose a great wine and later made the best martini I have EVER had. She did the same for the dinner menu and made suggestions for each course. I have to mention that she did all of that while still helping out the other people that were also sitting at the bar AND making drinks for everyone. The burrata appetizer was delicious! We shared the 100 layer lasagna and I believe it was the best lasagna either of us have ever had! We were so full but Mary raved about the tiramisu so we finished with that! It was overall a great experience and we will be back soon!
Loved everything about this place! Our waitress was great, shared all the best recommendations and so friendly. The food and drinks were delicious. We went with burrata and garlic knots for apps, and both were *chef’s kiss*. For dinner we all ordered different things, but personally I had the carbonara and loved every bite! Of course, you can’t skip dessert - so tiramisu! I love a good tiramisu and this one did not disappoint.
Took my wife here for our anniversary and it was a home run! My wife’s family is Italian (like born in Italy Italian) so she has very high standards and was blown away with the pasta, my ravioli was delicious although the portion was a bit smaller than I wanted but it makes sense if everything is made in-house. Our waitress was attentive the entire time and just had a bubbly, joyous attitude the entire time. The atmosphere wasn’t too bad, I would just say it was a little loud with everyone talking but I think it also speaks volumes to just how popular the restaurant is. We look forward to going back when we move back from Florida!
Incredible restaurant, service, and food. I have a ton of food allergies and the servers were kind enough to have the chef come out. The chef was accommodating and also helped me develop something “off menu” that not only met my gluten free, dairy free, tomato free needs at an Italian restaurant, but also made sure it was delicious! Thank you for your attention and service on Christmas Eve, it was so refreshing and would 10/10 recommend
Well, another amazing stop in Edmond while in town from Alabama. The place has amazing service and the food was top notch. They are know for the lasagna and now I know why. I am so happy I decided to give it a try while in town. The garlic knots and Cesar salad was over the top. I got the lasagna with meat sauce on the side so I could enjoy the flavors as separate and enjoy the backed cheese as well. If you have not tried this place yet, get there and make it happen soon! Locally owned and a staple on my list next time in town.
UPDATE. Visited in February and had a less than favorable experience. Evan followed up and invited us back. Second visit in May was everything anyone could ask for in an Italian dinner experience - excellent service, quality food, and we enjoyed both wine and cocktails. Look forward to including Sparrow in our future dining plans. Can't miss with any of their pizzas or pastas.
