47 Best Italian Restaurants near Papillion

“A journey brought me to Papillion, Nebraska – a town where the pace slows and local flavors shine. tucked among the neighborhood streets is a spot well worth the stop: Canigilia’s a Mano. This unassuming local eatery delivers the kind of comfort and quality that only comes from doing things right. I ordered the Sicilian chef salad, thin crust sausage and peppers pizza, and it arrived exactly the way it should: salad fresh and pleasing with perfect dressing, Pizza – crisp-edged, hot, with perfectly balanced layers of savory sausage, sweet peppers and enough char. There’s nothing flashy here – just hospitality done right, a warm welcome, and food that respects tradition. If you are any where near Papillion and craving something real, this is a table worth sitting at. As a side note – I also ordered the Sicilian sub, saving it for the next day’s lunch – and it didn’t disappoint. hearty, well layered, and full of bold flavor. It held up beautifully overnight.“

“We took our group of seniors for dine out tonight. The service started amazing with the staff opening the door for my residents. Fast seating, fast service , amazing food and just overall an awesome night out. Our server was Sophia and she was beyond amazing! Her coworker who helped was just as awesome as well, I didn't get his name, sorry.“

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

“We had a great time today at Roma’s. My husband and I shared a sampler platter. Our waiter Donovan was awesome. He was patient with our order. I always have a lot of questions and he was very knowledgeable. He brought us extra plates when needed, and kept our drinks full. He was kind and gave us suggestions. Thanks for a great meal Donovan!“

“Outstanding service, attention, and food“

“Took my wife here for our anniversary. Food was awesome, service was incredible! Only problem was they ran out of the chocolate cake! Lol, we’ll definitely be back!“

“We are a local couple but every once in a while we still want to support the local servers who work in larger chains!!! This place did not disappoint! Our server Samuel was the BEST! Since we were first time diners he comped our appetizer! Additionally the food was loaded with flavor! When we were getting ready to leave we were handed a gift bag with information on their next wine dinner and swag as well as their seasoning! We will definitely be going back!“

“Fazoli's has the best breadsticks hands down. The whole team at #5935 were amazing! definitely coming back and trying more products!“

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

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

“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!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Honest to God my favorite pizza place I have ever been to!! Every time that I go there the staff is so kind and just Johnny on the spot with excellent customer service and Tim the owner always comes to shake your hand and thank you for coming in. They all just take great care of you and are incredibly accommodating! Everyone I have ever brought there always has said how great the food and atmosphere is! Make a reservation and don't miss out!“

“Veal Parm was excellent. They skimp a bit on the side pasta and salads. Offer a bit more bread. Slightly on the expensive side and I don't like leaving hungry - but my veal was quite good.“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We just had a gathering of 15 people and the waitress did not know how to separate the orders into the system. Lack of training comes to mind. Having a new person handling that large of a group without being able to split into multiple orders created a lot of fun trying to check out. A year ago we didn’t have any problems. Things change. Fortunately the food still pleases most of the group. I ordered gluten free pizza with extra sauce, didn’t see extra sauce and would prefer a cauliflower crust to what I got (I sure hope it was gluten free). My husband ordered angel hair and got spaghetti. The more experienced staff was getting a sunday off which is good. They seem to be busier than they used to be.“

“Vincenzo’s is pure Italian magic! 🇮🇹 The food is chef’s kiss—authentic, delicious, and made with love. From the pasta to the pizza, every bite tastes like it came straight from nonna’s kitchen. Cozy vibe and amazing service. If you haven’t been—you’re missing out. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Fast service, excellent salad bar and good pasta for the price.“

“I Highly Recommend Going This Restaurant & Save Some Room & Stamina For Homey Inn For Champagne 🥂 🍾On Tap At The Homey Inn Bar When You & You’re Entourage Have Completed Your Dinner!“

“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 can’t say enough good things! Good vibes, kind humans, amazing food! Even the house salad was too notch. Can’t wait to go back!!!“

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

“Decent food at a fair price but the vibe is a bit overstimulating and the chairs are not the most comfortable if you're planning on hanging out for a bit. There isn't table service for ordering and you have to gather your own cutlery which is fine if they remember to tell you or you're already familiar w/the place.“

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

“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“

“My family loves Valentinos. I wish they would bring back the buffet at this location, but times have changed since Covid. Tonight we ordered 3 pizzas, spaghetti, lasagna, and salad. The food was really delicious. And they delivered to our house, which was great. We will be ordering from there again!“

“If you crave pizza don’t go anywhere but here…y’all better donate“

“A friend and I dined at Cascio's on Thanksgiving. It was insanely busy, you could sense the pressure the staff was under. They held up wonderfully and provided us with excellent, genuinely friendly service. Ashley was charming. Kudos to her and the rest of the staff. They were working their rear ends off. We had filet mignon and chicken parm, both were delicious. Cascio's is a classic Omaha destination for a reason. Cheers!“

“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!“

“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!!!!“

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

“Friends and Husband and i ordered a meal deal and we was delighted at the quanity and taste both. The chicken wings were very large and very good. The pizza was perfect and additional bread sticks were so good. The 4 of us plenty and then some and had leftovers. Prices very reasonable for the amount of food you get.
Tks Valentinos!!“

“When I came in on Labor Day) I was so excited to have some real good Chicago pizza the family I have met was so amazing very heartfelt strong workers I would give this more then 5star they bring value to their customers I’m so glad I found a place I can come eat now“

“If you crave pizza don’t go anywhere but here…y’all better donate“

“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.“

“I Highly Recommend Going This Restaurant & Save Some Room & Stamina For Homey Inn For Champagne 🥂 🍾On Tap At The Homey Inn Bar When You & You’re Entourage Have Completed Your Dinner!“

“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 ?“

“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🍕“

“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.“
