44 Best Italian Restaurants in Omaha

“From start to finish….our meal was amazing! I am from south Louisiana and I have never had as good a meal as I did today. I chose the Eggplant Parmigiana and it’s the best I’ve ever had. We shared the spicy Calamari and a Spezia Salad. I won’t soon forget my experience at Spezia. And I cannot wait to return. My sincere compliments to the chef. Lastly, Bailey (our waitress) was so accommodating with such an adorable personality. I give this dining experience 5 Stars.“

“We had our wedding dinner at Carrabba's on Halloween and let me tell you, the staff was wonderful. They were all kind and helpful. Sam, our waiter, went above and beyond. We had a party of 10 and he was on top of everything. Drinks, done. Food, ordered and delivered incredible fast. He even went across the street at some point to get us a congratulations card. (I called to thank the manager and she told me.)
We went to have a dinner with our families not expecting anything special. We were blown away.
Absolutely one of my best dining experiences ever.“

“We dined at Mio last night. What a gem! Starting with the antipasti, 4 different meats, at least that many different cheeses & olives. The fresh mozzarella was so incredibly buttery. Our table of 6 was overwhelmed by the food & the portion size. Chef Anthony visited our table twice. Our server was attentive, caring & loved her position which is sometimes rare. Loved the entire experience.“

“Top 3 favorite restaurant!! From the moment we walked in until we left everything was wonderful. The staff is happy and helpful, they were engaging and helped guide us to the right menu options. The cocktails were the best prices I’ve seen in a long time and were delicious!! The food we had was fantastic! The manager stopped by to check on us and was very friendly as well. We had a group that went and we had the Piedmont Manhattan, Duck Duck, Sangria, and Mule for drinks. For apps we had the brussel sprouts and goose bumps (6) which were very generous for appetizers. Finally for dinner we had the herbed salmon sandwich, Italian Dip, and the chicken picatta. To be honest we can’t wait to go back!!!“

“Dinner reservation with family. Service was excellent and food was wonderful.“

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

“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!!“

“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!“

“Amazing every time!!! I recommend everything“

“One of our favorite restaurants. Everything is top notch. Owners are amazing. They hire the best staff in town.“

“We love the Soup and Salad combo! The soups are always delicious -- plenty of ingredients to satisfy my hearty appetite. It's great to choose from 4 tasty options. I generally start off with the Chicken & Gnocchi -- so good! My wife starts with Minestrone and I taste hers before proceeding to the other options. The House Salad is great too!

One star deduction because service was somewhat slow. They were out of the Chicken & Gnocchi and had to make it. But we weren't told until we asked about the delay. Not a big problem because I can start with Pasta e Fagioli and go from there. Just keep me informed is all I ask...“

“Hello, we had the best waitress. She was amazing, way better than any waitress I have had in a long time. Her name is Yancy. She was always getting our glasses filled, checked on us a ton. Never will I go to this place without asking to sit in her section. Wow, what a treat.“

“I had a wonderful experience at Doozy's Subs & Pizza Shop here in downtown Omaha , Nebraska this afternoon ?. This was my first time dining at this diner and I 'm happy that I came in to have lunch . I encourage everyone to come and enjoy both the atmosphere and the food ?.“

“Both my wife and I are veterans and went for their Veteran's Day meal. Seated right away. Drink and lunch orders taken right away. My wife had the Salsicca and peppers and I had the Baked Lasagna. Everything was delicious and portions were large. Our server, Pangaea, was excellent and made sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for doing this for veterans, it is really appreciated.“

“Chill spot with great pizza and drinks. I will try all the pizzas eventually. Delicious.“

“Love spaghetti works!! Amazing service, great quality and quantity of food for a good price!“

“Whenever we’re in Omaha, we make a point of eating at Tasty Pizza. There’s nothing flashy about their menu, just a focus on the pizza essentials. As a result, I’ve *never* had a single bad slice there.“

“this the place in Omaha area for real NY style pizza. Pizza was amazing, cust done and cooked perfect. 10/10“

“They were super busy when I went in. Molly helped me and was absolutely lovely! The whole staff was so helpful to each other. Got my food back to work and it was cooked perfectly! Thanks for being awesome!!“

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

“Parking: Plenty of parking, it's a little bit tricky to get into and out of the strip mall area where Mama's is. If you're going West on pacific, you have to go a block past it to get to the main strip mall entrance.. And what you think might be an entrance and exit to get back onto eastbound pacific, is only an entrance to get into where Mama's Pizza is. It's a little weird. Great food though“

“Love the flying tomato!! Our favorite pizza in Omaha.“

“My granddaughters love the pizza samples plus the white bread used in the grilled cheeses!“

“We have great experience with every dish we get and the service is top notch!“

“Food is always good. Staff is friendly to the customers. From the counter you can hear all conversations and goings-on happening in the kitchen. At times I've heard some interesting conversations, as well as arguing and complaining by some of the staff. Just makes waiting for my order a bit uncomfortable.“

“Old school steak house. Both the ribeye and prime rib were very good. Not quite the quality of Mahogany, but very good and more reasonably priced. Server, Meghan, was excellent. Friendly and attentive. Will absolutely be back. Really liked the fire pit in the bar area.“

“Capricosa pizza was delicious! Great combination of mushrooms, salami and black olives.“

“We rented the party room for a recent birthday. They were very accommodating to our needs the staff was awesome. They were added to our pizza order as needed and kept our group supplied with drinks and the food was wonderful. Thanks to the whole staff for making our party a huge success.“

“The best pizza joint! Delicious food and the owners are always so friendly when we come in. We’ve celebrated multiple occasions in their party room and love takeout, too. 10/10“

“Excellent food, great service.“

“Love the hamburger pizza! Love Christian and Dub, they are A+ bartenders on Sunday. Seriously they can make up the best drinks on the fly!“

“**Review: Rosati's Pizza, Omaha**

After a long day at the zoo, our group of 11 was looking for something easy and satisfying for dinner. We decided to try Rosati's Pizza in Omaha, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice. We ordered a calzone, three 18” pizzas, and two orders of dough bites.

The dough bites were amazing—one order was the equivalent of a pizza and more. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, a real crowd-pleaser. My wife’s calzone was delicious, stuffed with just the right amount of filling and baked to perfection. As for the pizza, it was on point, as Rosati’s always is. The crust was perfectly baked, the toppings were generous and fresh, and the cheese melted just right.

The service was quick and friendly, despite our large group. The atmosphere was casual and welcoming, making it an ideal spot for family gatherings or casual dinners. If you're in the Omaha area and craving delicious, perfect pizza, Rosati's is the place for you. We’ll definitely be back!“

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

“The BBQ chicken pizza was delicious! Service was fast and friendly. And the gelato for dessert was yummy!“

“Capricosa pizza was delicious! Great combination of mushrooms, salami and black olives.“

“Big Fred’s is the best family friendly restaurant i’ve ever been too! i’ve been coming since i was little with my grandparents and now that im older i just come on my own. The service and food is top notch! It’s so fresh and delicious! ive never met nicer people. I could recommend big fred’s more🍕“

“The food is always AMAZING! Some of the best wings this side of the Missouri. The people are always trying their best to make you happy, and they clean the tables after you are done. Yes it does have the SOUTH OMAHA laid back interior design of classic history and decorations, but I dont need shiny bling bling to make my food taste better. The pizza is TOP NOTCH, and always hot and fresh. Its local and homey atmosphere is always relaxing. And they have points for buying food and send you gift coupons in the mail. Keep up the GOODJOB!

Parking: Park up front or in back, well lit and very safe and family friendly. Very easy to have large group parties in their extra dining room.“

“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 ?“

“Best Italian in the Midwest hands down!“

“I hadn't been in quite a while. I forgot how good the food was and the service was outstanding! It's not the cheapest date you'll be on, but you get what you pay for here.
Strange to see such a great restaurant in a mall, I know, but you won't regret it!
We will be back!

Parking: I parked in the east, by BestBuy and walked to the entrance on the south of the building. Pretty easy.“
