All of the following restaurants and coffeehouses are located within Campus Corner, which is within easy walking distance of the University of Oklahoma campus.

Victoria's Pasta Shop
Italian Cuisine

Victoria's serves the best pasta in town at affordable prices. The restaurant is very vegetarian friendly. Every dish is excellent.

Highly recommended are the Lasagna Rolls as well as the Cheese Lasagna. If ordering the Cheese Bread as an appetizer, be sure to request 'both kinds of sauce' to get both the white and red sauces for dipping.

The décor is never boring with a rotating display of local art for sale on the walls.

La Luna is a family-owned restaurant with a relaxing atmosphere. The Norman location (there is also the original Oklahoma City location) offers surprisingly private outside seating considering it is in the heart of bustling campus corner.

According to the owner, La Luna serves "authentic, made-from-scratch and incredibly tasty mexican food" and is "not your typical Mexican food joint."

Brothers Eatery and Pub
Pub Fare (Burgers, Beer, and More)

Enter the "Land of the Crayon" and "Home of the 1/2 Yard" beer. Brothers is the perfect casual place to meet with friends. Stay out late for the live music and nightlife.

The customer base includes lots of University of Oklahoma fraternity and sorority members. Generations of University of Oklahoma students have enjoyed this cozy spot.

On your birthday, go out with friends to Brothers and be sure to pick up your free Brothers birthday shirt.

The Earth Café and Deli
Mostly Organic Breakfast Dishes, Sandwiches, Soups, and Coffees
750 Asp Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma 73069

The Earth Café and Deli is Norman's most progressive café. This bohemian café and coffeehouse has a cozy atmosphere and is a newer addition to campus corner with an old soul. The food is mostly vegetarian and can be special ordered as vegan.

After you have filled up on healthy goodies at the café and deli, drive or bike over to the Earth Natural Foods grocery store at 309 South Flood, Norman, Oklahoma 73069, where you can stock up on unique grocery items.

Pepe Delgado's
Authentic Mexican Food
752 Asp Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma 73069

Pepe's serves Mexican food prepared with fresh ingredients, including many vegetarian options. This experience is not exactly sit-down dining or fast food. Stand in line to place your order, then have a seat, and a friendly server will bring your food to your table. There is an adjoining bar that often offers live music on the weekends.

Seven 47
Contemporary Casual Dining and Drinks
727 Asp Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma 73069
http://www.seven47.com/

A newer addition to campus corner, Seven 47 is the place to see and be seen. It is reminiscent of a chic big city bar and restaurant, similar to many of the newer places in the happening Belltown neighborhood of downtown Seattle.

Definitely check out Thursday sushi nights. If you drive rather than walk, take advantage of their free private parking.

The Hideaway Pizza
Gourmet Pizza
577 Buchanan Avenue, Norman, Oklahoma 73069

Although this restaurant began in Stillwater near Oklahoma State University, the University of Oklahoma's archrival, Hideaway undoubtedly makes the best pizza pies in town.
