Patrono

Patrono brings a warm sense of possibility to gluten-free Italian dining in OKC—even if, like me, you sometimes brace for disappointment at "regular" restaurants. While it's not a dedicated gluten-free kitchen, the staff here consistently demonstrate real care: servers are well-versed in celiac safety, dishes are clearly marked, and they'll talk through every detail without batting an eye. The house gluten-free bread is legendary (seriously, you might want to hug your server), and nearly any pasta can be made GF. Still, because everything's prepared in a shared space, there's always that tiny background hum of cross-contact risk, but for many in our community who weigh those odds carefully, Patrono feels like a rare and genuinely welcoming treat.
