Othello's

       To begin the year we chose Othello's as our first restaurant to dine at. Known as Norman's Little Italy this quaint restaurant is located in Norman's famous Campus Corner. As opposed to most of the college orientated spots in Campus Corner, Othello's has much nicer homely vibe to it. We chose to eat in the bar so we could also watch the Fiesta Bowl(BOOMER!). We started out with an order of Garlic buns which were very tasty but I was a little disappointed when I discovered that you get free garlic bread with your entree. I ordered the Tortellini with pesto sauce and my wife ordered the Chicken Florentine. My entree was a bit plain but it was good. I would probably recommend adding chicken to it to liven it up a little bit. The Florentine that my wife ordered was not really a Florentine at all but more of a pasta with chicken, spinach, mushrooms, and red peppers. It was very good but not at all what i expected. The service was lacking with it being very difficult to find our server when we needed him. Our server did however double check with the chef about cheese on my wife's dish and box up our food for us when we were done, this did make up for the lack of attentiveness. All and all I would recommend Othello's to anyone eating at Campus Corner when you want to avoid the college feel.
