Pasta YaYa at The Bistro
The Bistro at Seville
10021 S. Yale Ave. | 918.296.3000 | bistroatseville.com
The Bistro’s memorably named Pasta YaYa, a fettuccine in a creamy white wine sauce, offers an equally unforgettable flavor. Scallions and garlic add savory balance to the sweet, rich sauce, and sautéed chicken breast, sausage and added blackened shrimp make the dish hearty and filling. This is The Bistro’s most requested pasta plate.
SUN-THURS 11 a.m.-9 p.m.; FRI-SAT 11 a.m.-10 p.m.
Mondo’s Ristorante Italiano
3410 S. Peoria Ave. | 918.561.6300 | mondositalian.com
Brookside’s Mondo’s is frequented by cyclists and runners alike who carb-up on the menu of delicious pastas. The Spaghetti & Meatballs features two ground-beef and veal meatballs on a bed of more-than-you-can-eat spaghetti covered in their family marinara recipe. Ambitious eaters can add a plate of Cheese Garlic Bread, which is served with the same marinara sauce.
MON-THURS 11 a.m.-10 p.m.; FRI-SAT 11 a.m.-11 p.m.; SUN 3 p.m.-9 p.m.
Hey Mambo
114 N. Boston Ave. | 918.508.7000 | heymambo.com
Located less than a block from Guthrie Green, the patio at Hey Mambo is good for downtown people watching (and great for brunching jazzily on a Sunday with Clay Welch, Jordan Hehl and Sean Al-Jiboori). Their lunch and dinner menus are full of delicious options, but the Asiago Tortellini pasta plate is a doozy. With its creamy mixture of sweet cheese and savory sauce, this dish is so tasty you might be tempted to order another To Go.
MON-THURS 11 a.m.-2 p.m., 4 p.m.-10 p.m.; FRI 11 a.m.-2 p.m., 4 p.m.-10:30 p.m.; SAT- SUN 11 a.m.-2 p.m., 4 p.m.-9 p.m.
