24 Best Italian Restaurants in Lincoln

“My wife and Iate here last night for her birthday. I had made reservations ahead so wait time wasn't an issue. We absolutely loved the atmosphere. My wife ordered the shrimp & lobster ravioli while I had the tortellini ala vodka with chicken & sausage. Our food and the homemade rolls and olive oil were delicious. To top off the night our waiter Andi was absolutely fantastic. We live an hour away but this will definitely be a staple when we're in town.“

“My only concern about Casa as I see a woman who is just standing and watching everyone around her work hard. She doesn’t help wait staff or clear tables!! She just stands there can I have her job please I am available“

“This was my family’s first time visiting this restaurant. We weren’t expecting much, boy was I wrong! It has a cozy warm atmosphere, very family friendly, and EXCELLENT food. The service was excellent as well. We don’t go to Italian restaurants generally, but this one deserves to be on our list of favorites.“

“I can’t even begin to explain how happy I was with our recent visit to Momo. Our waitress, Gracie, was so over the top phenomenal. So kind, soft, and informative. Me and my boyfriend had our first date at Momo back in ‘21 and we are moving to Houston on Wednesday. So it only felt right to finish up our NE chapter where it began. The food was INCREDIBLE. We even sent compliments to the chef. My boyfriend is a huge foodie with a background in culinary and rates his pork ribeye one of the best meals he’s EVER had. I will always be so happy and appreciative of our trips to Momo. Thank you for helping close our chapter here. Gracie is AMAZING! 10/10 customer service and humanity.“

“The food was absolutely delicious! We each loved what we got! And so was dessert! Our waiter was wonderful and the staff was very friendly! Service was marvelous! I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Food, staff and atmosphere were amazing! Great cocktails as well.“

“The manager made a special effort to check with us to ensure the food allergy was addressed when my daughter ordered something which had the raw tomatoes added since she had told the server about her sensitivity to raw tomatoes. We hadn't been aware tomatoes are included to the location's version of the shrimp entree.“

“Absolutely amazing food“

“Stop here once a week for lunch. The staff is always nice and helpful. Talkative. They will get what you order quickly and if they are out, quick to get one ready.

Usually just get the lunch buffet. Salad Bar is stocked, clean, cold. Only issue is parking at times. Other than that, a great stop for your lunches.“

“Delivery order for a delicious Mona Lisa pizza. Excellent customer service from Seth with a slight issue with ApplePay. Seth handled it like a CS manager. Delivery was quick and pizza arrived hot and fresh. Previous orders from this location have been great/“

“Where do I start? I am from Iowa. Not originally but have lived there for 5 years. No Valentino's anywhere near me. My wife's manager grew up in Nebraska and found out I've been going to Nebraska for work quite often. He said that if I ever have the chance I need to try Valentino's. Well today I had gotten done washing my truck unknowingly at a wash across from this Valentino's. I saw the opportunity. So I took it. I walked in and talked to the owner and told him the story I just told you and that I was there to try their food. I wanted to try a slice of pizza but he was very disappointed that he only had some fresh beef pizza ready to go. I said it's fine, I'll try it. I'm down for most pizza anyway. Then he handed me a slice to try. I took a bite and fell in LOVE. I said, I'll take 2! It was delicious. He then proceeded to grab 2 slices and put them in a to go box. Then gave me a bunch of extras including HOUSE MADE RANCH, which seems to be a trade secret because he wouldn't tell me what made it so special. I will judge a restaurant 70% on just their ranch. And it passed with flying colors. Anyway, I tried to pay him for all the food and freebies but quickly rejected that offer. Great place, great food, and great people. Highly recommend“

“I went into fazolis last night and this beautiful woman named Marie was the cashier that took my order she was sweet polite and was smiling the whole time even when giving me my food she made sure i didn’t run out of those delicious breadsticks and i think she dis a wonderful job by greeting me when walking in the door and when leaving i tell u fazolis has some of the best staff around other places are usually rude and trying to rush u through ur meal but not Marie she actually had conversations with me while cleaning tables So Great Job“

“We ordered late in the evening, around 8PM. Many times when you order this late the quality of the food is subpar. That was not the case with this order. Everything was hot and fresh and correct. It was amazing! I want to thank the location that prepared for doing such a fantastic job!“

“They do a great job ‼️‼️ I love“

“Had a bad DoorDash experience. When I called this establishment they were nice, and communicative with me. DoorDash lied to me and I ended up canceling the DoorDash order, when I called and explained that I needed to change my order to a pick up, they were flexible and worked with me. I would recommend them due to customer service as well as their pepperoni cream cheese pizza. The sauce was to die for!“

“Really impressed with the staff at this Valentinos. A lady who uses a cane came in today and got a lunch to-go. I’ve been to this location several times and everyone who gets a to-go lunch gets a box and a drink and they’re on their way. Without hesitation or saying anything, one of the staff members put the lady’s meal in a bag so she could carry her lunch and still use her cane.

Such a simple gesture but I thought it was incredibly thoughtful and kind. Will be back.“

“This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at a Valentino’s! The main person working that night, Jarrod, made the whole experience 100% worth while! He kept me informed of where the order was the entire time and did an excellent job of managing the constant flow of customers while also preparing food!“

“We had baked lasagna, cherry pizza dessert......Wonderful!It made the birthday party special....... 17th and South St Employees are the best. If you say 12:45 pickup the food is coming out of the oven at 12:44 and always ready and hot. It doesn't sit there getting cold.“

“I recommend everything here.“

“I placed an order for a heart shaped pizza earlier this week. the employees on the phone were very helpful and even were accommodating when I called mid week to change my order. I came in on valentine’s day and while I was waiting for the employees to finish boxing up my order a very rude customer came in. it was disheartening to see a grown adult speak so rudely to a crew of teenagers. however, I’m leaving my review to say that they handled the situation very professionally. thank you for a perfect v-day dinner valentino’s! and I hope Karen had the valentine’s day she deserved.“

“So I see a lot of bad reviews from a year or two ago but I’ve been ordering from here frequently and never have a problem but today the GM WAS IN STORE and took my order, I specified no mushrooms twice and it came with mushrooms. Mind you the GM also made my order. The receipt says no mush in red. Just wanna say to the guys at the store thank you for remaking my food and I wouldn’t even be posting this review if my hoagie wasn’t picture perfect I think these guys should get the GMs next raise“

“My daughter and son-in-law took me to DaVinci's while I was in town visiting. I was impressed with the restaurant but even more impressed with the Double Pepperoni and Cream Cheese Pizza! It was to die for! The best pizza I've ever had! I've tried to find that pizza here in Oklahoma but haven't been able to find pizza that compares. Looks like I'll have to come back to DaVinci's in Lincoln to satisfy my craving!“

“Valentino has a lot of history in our family. My Mom and Dad met in Lincoln. I was born there in 1962. They had dates at the original Valentino's. The historic atmosphere is certainly not the same but it's what is left. And their pizza is still pretty good.“

“Every time we come through here it’s hit or miss. Sometimes it’s crappy food and sometimes it’s good and fresh. Usually never an issue with employees but waiting time and good quality can go from great to poor. Good for a quick bite. Hard to get in and out the parking lot though.“
