The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A Historic Setting for Authentic Italian Cuisine

Tellers Italian occupies The Great Hall in downtown Oklahoma City, a space whose architectural grandeur makes an immediate impression. The room's historic bones—high ceilings, sweeping proportions—set the stage for a dining experience rooted in the traditions of regional Italian cooking. Robb Report named it one of the 25 Most Beautiful New Restaurants in America, and Forbes and Shondaland have both taken notice of the way the space balances old-world elegance with genuine warmth.

What's on the Table

The kitchen works from a commitment to seasonal ingredients and time-honored technique. House-made pastas are a cornerstone of the menu, alongside wood oven-baked Neapolitan pizzas and steaks and vegetables cooked over a wood-burning grill. Locally sourced produce figures throughout, grounding the Italian cuisine in Oklahoma's own landscape. Chef Spencer Arthur has been recognized by Edible OKC as a key figure behind the kitchen's direction.

The beverage program earned Tellers a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2025—recognition that reflects the depth and range of an Italian wine list built to showcase the diversity of Italy's wine-growing regions, from well-known appellations to lesser-seen varietals.

Beyond the Main Dining Room

Tellers runs a full calendar of events that extend well beyond dinner service. Afternoon Tea in The Great Hall, Sunday Jazz Brunches, seasonal Wine Dinners, and holiday celebrations give the restaurant a rhythm that keeps regulars coming back. Private dining is a serious offering here: the venue accommodates everything from intimate family gatherings to large corporate events, with menus and service tailored to each occasion.

The breadth of the program—breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner, with dessert and beverage menus to match—makes Tellers one of downtown Oklahoma City's most versatile tables, without sacrificing the focus that earned it national attention.
