16 Best Italian Restaurants near Council Bluffs

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

“We had a large group of 34 for a team dinner. I called several places, and so glad we chose to eat here.
The staff was incredible- they took our orders, and flawlessly executed them all. So impressed!! Great job Olive Garden, happy to give you our business. Thank you for making us feel so welcome!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“My family found this place a few months ago and we keep going back. The portions are so big we always bring food home which is great for the price. They bread they bring to the table is so good and the mozzarella fritta is something you have to get. I got the chicken parm and it was one of the best I've ever had. The staff is super nice and it has a really cozy feel inside. Way better than Olive Garden and cheaper too.“

“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!!!“

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

“Tina could be one of the all time.BEST Bartenders“

“My husband and I went to a comedy show in the old market and after went to dinner. We are not from Omaha and wanted to try something new. We came across Zio's and went inside. We immediately were asked if we were there "picking up". I said no, and the waitress seemed instantly annoyed. We were seated at a table and ordered two waters. My husband asked if they had a restroom and the waitress gave a snarky reply "yeah, we got one" and then just stood there. My husband had to ask again, "where is it?" and the waitress flung her arm over her shoulder and said back there. Shortly after that we placed our order and I had a question about the toppings on the pizza. I was given a look like I was stupid and a slight eye roll. I asked for half our pizza to not have tomatoes. That request was met with another eye roll as yhe waitress scribbled our order down and walked away without another word. About 15 minutes later our pizza arrived and my husband asked for a parmesan cheese shaker. The waitress was annoyed at the request and made sure to correct him and said, "it's ROMANO not parmesan". She brought the shaker over and left. The waitress did not return once to check on our meal or drinks. We ate quickly as it was clear the restaurant closing for the evening. We asked for our ticket and a box. Being a pizza place, we expected to get a pizza box to take the remaining half of our large pizza home.(other tables had been given pizza boxes to take their leftovers) The waitress brought us a small square Styrofoam box that we had to stack and cram our pizza in to fit. As we left the restaurant we couldn't figure out why the waitress was so annoyed and rude the entire time we were there. After checking the website we found out why- this location closes at 9:30 on Saturday and we arrived around 9:20. Again, we have never visited this establishment before, but saw the lights on, patrons eating, and it smelled delicious so we chose to go in and eat. This had to have been the reason for our servers distain and ire. We arrived while the business was STILL OPEN, ate quickly, and were out the door by 9:57 pm. If this establishment doesn't want to serve customers during their designated hours of operation they should have told us they were no longer seating customers and we would have understood and found a different establishment to eat at. I would have rather gone elsewhere than sit through the terrible attitude and service we received at Zio's. In case a manager sees this review, although we never were given our servers name - she is older (maybe 50's), short, blond hair with a pink glitter extention, and a terrible attitude.“
