Othello's, a Campus Corner staple, reopened its doors to serve Italian food handcrafted according to original recipes created by the first Othello's owner.
Owners of the Edmond Othello's have brought the authentic bread, pasta and sauce recipes created by pioneer owner Patsy Benso back to the more the about 40-year-old business. "The older customers who have been coming here throughout the different owners and management and everything, they have definitely noticed and they've definitely made comments that it's back to how it used to be and how it should be," owner Jennifer Weiss said.
The Weiss family owns the Othello's of Edmond, and leased the Campus Corner Othello's after a legal battle between previous owners caused the previous Othello's owner to close the restaurant. Jennifer and her sister Nancy Weiss had a quiet opening the eatery Aug. 16.
Susan Mchale used to frequent Othello's when she was in college, and when Benso ran the restaurant. "This is our first time back in a long time, this is really good, I mean, we think this is like it used to be," Mchale said.
Othello's offers half price pizzas on Sundays, and has live music Thursday through Sunday.
