“Mike came and made quite the impression at my daughter's grad party. Everyone RAVED about the food, even went back for 2nds, and many even took another meal home. Super kind, personable (they remembered families names!), and were told it was the best grad party many had ever been to. My neices even want them to be at all her parties. Highly highly recommend!!!!“

“Celebrated my birthday here this year . The Hunter duckling was fabulous! Tender and crispy . Very large portion as well. I would definitely return“

“Roma’s definitely does not disappoint. I visit every time in town. Service (Sara - no h) was awesome. Huge portions from the apps to the main meal. MUST GET GARLIC & OLIVE OIL DIPPING SAUCE for the bread. Beware it’s addictive and will fill you up before the main course. Main meal could easily be split between 2-3 people, but also great reheated. Kudos to the buss crew who immediately cleared tables as patrons left the establishment. Compliments to all (greeter, server, chef, busser). I’ll be back later this month. Thanks again.“

“lots of people ask me what's my favorite pizza.. well i just tried 'Mangia Italiana Omaha' for the first time, it was delicious, I'd order from-now-on however (not sure) i could get delivered to Scottsdale (AZ:). thank goodness I have friend that makes the trip regularly from Omaha, he's been told to bring a Mangia pizza each and every time 🤗 five stars to your extremely tasty pizza 👍🤌🤙 Jimmy J., Arizona“

“Loved the staff and the food was awesome! A very nice experience!“

“It's really, really good. Plenty of options and all those options are fantastic (at least the ones I've tried). Definitely worth stopping in.“

“What an amazing dining experience!! We had a party of 7 and our waitress was just phenomenal. She was on top of everything throughout the meal. And such a relaxed atmosphere with high end food. To say the food was excellent is an understatement. The flavors were impeccable and everything went together perfectly. From appetizers, salads, soup, main course and dessert- each bit was melt in your mouth deliciousness. And their drink menu is perfect for anyone's taste. Classic to innovative- their drinks are sure to satisfy. I would definitely recommend trying Cibo Vino out. We will definitely be stopping by again!“

“Amazing Date Night Restaurant! Service was so fast! Under 5 minutes for both our pizzas, our server, Sierra was amazing! So sweet and knowledgeable about the whole menu! Also the drinks were amazing!!! Can’t wait to come back next week for date night!!“

“The ambionse , the food is FANTASTIC!! The risotto with pork bellly....WOW“

“Always have great service. love the pasta and pizza!“

“Awesome Experience! At first I wasn’t impressed. My server seemed to be really off, she fumbled her words, had a hard time answering my questions, (maybe she was nervous) etc. I ordered a martini but she brought me something terrible in a rocks glass! We ordered, the salad bar was amazing!!! Fresh and had several choices. Our meal was another story, our waitress got our order wrong. I wanted chicken parmigiana and I got a sandwich?! She did get it corrected but I had to wait longer. At the end of our meal the manager trish came over to offer apologies. She also brought me the martini I originally asked for that she said she made herself. Awesome!! It was delicious!! She was friendly, chatted with us for a moment and deliver our bill. She didn’t even charge me for the drink! We noticed her guiding our server who was then having issues at another table. I would say we won’t be back but Trish really helped turned our opinion around! She’s definitely a manager who cares! We will give it another try and hopefully just get a more proficient server!“

“03/22/2023 "Mike" and team, very much, "A" game going on today for lunch. Best this location has been in a while. Friendly, fast, focused top notch customer service and food today. TOP MARKS Mike!“

“I thought Doozy’s would be a doozy,
But man, was I wrong , it’s far from woozy!
I came for a bite, just killing some time,
But every single flavor hit perfectly in rhyme.

From the first big sip to the very last bite,
Doozy’s turned my whole craving upright!
If you’re hungry and roaming, don’t be choosy,
Skip the rest, go straight to Doozy’s!“

“The manager and team made me feel so special on my birthday, minutes before closing.

I got off work late on my birthday, after working over 15 hours and drove to Olive Garden. I felt so bad walking in 5 mins before they closed to place a to go order. The place was empty and most of the servers had clocked out and were heading out the door.

I asked if it was ok to place an order and said id leave quickly. The manager didnt make me feel bad at all and said that's why they were still open. I ordered spaghetti and profusely apologized, explaining the long day and really wanting pasta for dinner. She asked me a few more questions and found out it was my birthday. She walked back to the kitchen, explaining that thr food would be ready soon. Within 3 mins, she came out with a group of workers, singing me happy birthday and presenting me with a piece of cake and lit candle. It absolutely made my day. As a military member living by myself, I otherwise wouldn't have had a birthday celebration that night. Im so thankful for the kindness shown by this location. When they easily (and understandably) couldve denied my initial order, alone, they connected with me and went out of there way to make me feel loved.“

“Edit June 9: this location went above and beyond sending out multiple coupons for free meals as well as adding a $10 reward to my Fazolis account!! I hage never had a company go this far to make up for a mistake. well done. my husband picked up a family meal today. the pizza was missing and the breadstivks were literally so smashed they were flat. I called to see if they would replace the breadsticks and pizza I was told the policy is a future coupon. save your money and go somewhere else!!!“

“A few months back I finally found a dish that I love and crave, a month later it is gone. Today I reluctantly went back at the grandkids request and the Calabrian Steak and Sharimp with Bucatini was back! Please please keep this on the menu!!! My family are all frequent fliers, especially when there are actually nice assortment of dishes!“

“Had a quick little lunch date there for the first time, the server was AMAZING. So kind and helpful. Also you can literally sample every sauce for like $15?! My pasta-loving heart was sooo satisfied. Salad bar was adorable built out of a car and stocked, highly recommend the house dressing!! Perfect for a comfort food, budget friendly, little date night!“

“We have been looking for a new pizza place for a while and came across Tasty pizza and it was delicious. This is our new favorite!“

“I stopped in today and had a pizza that went 2.5 hrs back home, cannolis, and some bruschetta. it was all delicious but the cannolis were some of the best I've had. it was my first time trying bruschetta and im glad I picked it up. the staff and owner were all very pleasant to do business with. we will return. 🤤“

“Terrific menu! Lots to choose from. Highly recommend the Traffic Jam hotdog. Great service too!“

“Had Jimi D’s tonight and I cannot recommend it more! Good atmosphere, great food, large portions, and our waiter Gage was top notch!!“

“We could not have asked for a better wedding venue than Cascio’s Steak House. Cascio’s is such an Omaha institution, and we loved the history, character, and classic feel of the building. The upstairs dining spaces have that timeless old-school steakhouse charm, while the lower level event space feels updated and perfect for weddings and larger events. Alfie was absolutely amazing to work with throughout the entire process. He was incredibly accommodating, communicative, and truly went above and beyond to make our day special. From start to finish, he made everything feel easy and stress-free. The setup was perfect for our wedding. We loved being able to have the ceremony in one space and the reception in another, which made the evening flow seamlessly. The food was incredible, especially the steaks, and our guests are still talking about how great everything tasted. Parking was easy and plentiful, the service was excellent, and the entire team was efficient, helpful, and attentive all night long. Alfie made sure we never had to worry about a thing so we could fully enjoy the day with our family and friends. We truly could not have imagined a better experience and would recommend Cascio’s to anyone looking for a wedding venue in Omaha. We already can’t wait to come back every year on our anniversary.“

“We ate here last Friday evening, and the food was so awesome! The best spin art dip I’ve ever had, and the pizza was perfectly cooked and tasted amazing. The building and the vibe on the inside is pretty spectacular too. Also—don’t sleep on the milkshakes! Had the butterfinger shake and it was a wonderful ending to the meal.“

“Best pizza in town classic hamburger with Romano cheese. Second Best pepperoni with Romano cheese. Been eating LaCasa for 59 years.“

“Like having dinner with family . Delicious dishes, friendly people. Love having them in the neighborhood!!“

“My 7 year old always wants to walk and eat there“

“Personal butchers special - it was good, had a nice golden/brown cheese on top with a decent underbelly to hold it together.

Large cheese ravioli - it was good but not that much flavor going on and same with the marinara sauce. They had a little bit of flavor but other than that mostly just bland.

Overall everything was good. I really enjoyed the pizza and as for the appetizer I might change it up next time.“

“The place on the inside looks old like late 80s early 90s but its SUPER CLEAN, wait time was maybe 10 minutes at the most for two personal pictures and honestly.

OH MY GODDDDD, words do not even correctly express how GOOD the pizza was!! My husband smashed his whole personal and I've only got 2 slices left. Definitely coming back for more, I hope the people in charge give this location a not modern look update, I LOVE the old fashion feel in the air reminds me of my childhood and I want it to stay that way but a small touch up to their signs and advertisements would definitely help I think. Im gonna recommend this place for pizza hands down.“

“The pizza was great and the crab linguine was delicious. The waiter was awesome great music in at atmosphere.“

“Ordered pizza for delivery tonight because I hadn’t been feeling well. Best decision ever! Our large super combo pizza not only looked amazing, but it was cooked perfectly and had an even distribution of toppings all over it.Our garlic cheese bread was soft and the cheese was a little browned and bubbly and tasted phenomenal! We were so full we have to save our dessert (cinnamon streusel monkey bread) for later, but that looks delicious as well.It also was delivered in a timely manner, about 20 minutes before we we’re expecting.Well done Godfathers!“

“Delicious Italian - support local!“

“I meant to post this a few weeks ago...

I placed an order on Google, and shortly after received a call from Sbarro that they couldn't complete my order due to being understaffed that day. Christy was amazing and promised to make it right, and went above and beyond in doing so. I'm so impressed with this place.

Also, their Spinach Stromboli is in my top 5 favorite foods EVER. I love this place and will be back REPEATEDLY if my current history of doing so says anything ?“
