So amazing I went two nights in a row! What a fantastic restaurant. Connected to Farm Bar, it uses locally sourced food, pasta made in house, and wow... what a delight. The service was attentive but relaxed so we felt perfectly comfortable having conversation and eating. Wonderful place. Definitely give it a try. And even though it's downtown, parking is easy because the Arvest parking garage is right across the street and patrons can park there after banking hours.

We've been hearing the buzz about Il Seme. We made reservations for four for a New Year's Eve dinner there. The restaurant was completely full and is an upscale vibe. It has a well deserved reputation for excellent tasting and beautifully prepared foods using locally sourced ingredients.We feel that prices for cocktails and food is slightly north of moderate but not outrageous. As they say, you get what you pay for. For starters we ordered the SESAME SEED FOCACCIA WITH BALSAMIC BUTTER 4PCS. The balsamic taste in the butter was present but not overwhelming and the focaccia was really good. We quickly devoured the four pieces and wish there was more of it. For my entrée I ordered the FETTUCCINE WITH BF FARMS BRAISED BEEF RAGU, FRIED ROSEMARY, AND GRANA PADANO. Wow, this was just fantastic. The house made fettuccine was cooked perfectly and the serving was generous. The braised beef Ragu had an excellent flavor which complimented the fettuccine perfectly. It was topped with a smattering of fried rosemary which gave the dish a wonderful sensory experience in the nose and in the mouth. For dessert we ordered the TIRAMISU WITH AMARETTO, LOCAL CREAM, & COCOA and the CHOCOLATE MOUSSE, AMARENA CHERRIES, WHIPPED CREAM, AND COCOA CRUMBLE. Both desserts were outstanding but my favorite was the chocolate mousse. The Amarena cherries buried within eeso good. And overall it was just a taste explosion in the mouth. Even though the restaurant was very busy on New Year's Eve, we felt the service was very good. We didn't feel rushed and it was an extremely relaxing evening. We can't wait to visit il Seme again.

We started off with the amazing bread and an undescribable butter. The deep-fried olive appetizer was absolutely amazing. The Caesar salad had a unique twist to it, and we un characteristically decided to have the spaghetti and meatballs, which is something I would never order and it was fantastic.

My wife and I tried il Seme for Valentine's Day. The atmosphere and staff were very nice. We started off with the Fried Olives and Arancini. I would go back just to get the Fried Olives again, they were awesome. My wife got gnocchi and I got the fettuccine, which was similar to a bolognese. My wife loved hers and mine was good as well. We will definitely be back!

This charming little restaurant downtown Tulsa serves Italian cuisine using locally sourced ingredients. The menu changes seasonally and based on product availability. The cocktails were a bit disappointing, especially considering their newly built bar area. The roasted vegetables dish was good, and the duck I ordered was decent, though a bit overcooked. The service was attentive and efficient. I would give them another try in the future. We went there previously in the summer and had a better experience with the food.

Great spot - we hadn't been back since they finished the bar expansion and it was very nice. Delicious food and wonderful service. My only very minor feedback was on their chunky ice in their cocktails. Felt like it was watering down the drinks and was not attractive.

My husband and I decided to try il Seme for a romantic date night and enjoyed our experience. We started with the fried olives and the Focaccia bread. We loved the bread but the fried olives were just okay. We each had a couple glasses of wine but weren't overly impressed with the taste and quality.Our favorite part of our meal was the pasta. I had the Red Pepper Cavatelli and the Gnocchi. The pasta had amazing texture and flavor. We would definitely come back for just the pasta alone!Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and seemed to be passionate about the food and drinks they serve.

My husband and I decided to try this place since it was recommended by the restaurant Farm Bar (which we loved). We gave them a try and in all honesty, it was just OKAY. We started with wine & the fried olives and they were good but the olives need a dipping sauce. Next we each ordered a pasta dish. My husband's linguine with rock shrimp was better than my pesto pasta. The pesto was good but there was no source of protein. The service was mediocre. Our waitress seemed annoyed by our presence. She even rolled her eyes when we said we weren't ready to order (we had only been there 15 mins and were trying to enjoy our culinary experience- which we had a reservation for). Also, you fill up your own water glass (take that how you wish). Ambience was good. Restaurant was quiet but not so quiet you felt people were listening to your conversation. We probably won't be back.

We were treated immediately and seated promptly without a wait. We did make reservations. We tried 2 appetizers a bread with balsamic butter that was delicious and stuffed fried olives that I could eat a dozen of!!! I ordered the rigatoni with braised beef and my husband ordered a noodle I have never heard of that's made in house and it's a wide long noodle like lasagna but with out the weird edges and a million times better. It was made with a cream sauce and local mushrooms. I ate half of mine and half of his it was absolutely amazing. The wife noodle was made and cooked to perfection. The texture was soft but hearty at the same time. They both had the right amount of sauce and I can't wait to eat there again. It has an eclectic vibe with decent lighting.
