I am moving from Omaha to Oklahoma City and decided I had to try this restaurant before leaving, and I was disappointed. It started with the salad, bagged lettuce drowned in a sweet Italian dressing. No tomatoes cucumbers etc. Then I had the fettuccini alfredo with shrimp. The shrimp were pretty good but that was all that was good. The sauce was bland and creamy like it was from a bottle, think Fazoli's, not cheesy and buttery like home made. I added mushrooms, they were canned! $14 and I get bottled sauce and canned mushrooms. Another in my party had ravioli and bacon meat balls. He did enjoy the meat balls but the sauce was not good. It is the signature red sauce, it was too sweet and tasted like it was from a can. We had water, it was served in 8oz red plastic glasses. The food was not cheep, but should have been. Save some time, go to Spaghetti Works or Olive Garden, much better food for the money.

Favorite Italian lunch spot. Rolls are hot and fresh. Mozzarella sticks are thick and cheesy. Best of all is the ravioli or manicotti. Keep up the great work!

Malaras is a great family restaurant that is a well kept secret that needs to be spread! the family is very nice. They have such a nice atmosphere there its so beautiful inside. My family loves it and whenever we feel like Italian thats where we go!

Food:

Amazing food with huge portions. Very nice waitress and fast service. The menu says the food will take 30 minutes for prep and proper homemade cooking. Our food took 31 minutes was hot and tasted great. The only real negative was parking. It is on street parking.

So delicious! The chicken-filled spinach tortellini is to die for! The red sauce is super yummy, and they give you warm, awesome bread. My friend always gets the fried ravioli. She can't get enough of it! The dinner salads are kind of boring, but the dressing is really good. The staff are all wonderful--nice, funny, friendly. I've been there several times and have yet to have a disappointing experience.
