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.“

“Very friendly service and quick too! Pretty busy on a Friday night, but no waiting for a table and we got our food really fast. Salad was good (8 color) and chicken pesto pizza was awesome! To top it off, the gelato was creamy and delicious!“

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

“Thank you to the staff at Carrabbas in Omaha for a memorable evening during the Director's Cut wine dinner! Angelica, Sam and Christina along with the pink cap chefs combined to ensure a great experience. Of particular excellence in addition to the wines, was the steak course. The filets were cooked to a perfect mid-rare and tender to the point of not needing a knife. Delicious!!“

“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!“

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

“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!“

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

“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...“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“As a Muslim person (and POC) trying to eat in Omaha - I can say no other restaurant has been as accommodating of my dietary needs as Dolomiti. But let’s be real, I wouldn’t be eating here if the food wasn’t fantastic! Top notch pizza and the best Caesar salad.“

“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!!!“

“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 ?.“

“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.“

“Made a reservation for a birthday dinner. No mention of policy of charge per person of bringing in dessert. We didn't need plates or a cake cut and still would be charged $2 pp for me hanging out a cupcake. Also, no mention of their own cake slice with candle offer at end of dinner. I should have asked specific questions. Then, we specified breakdown of checks when we ordered, but still had one bill at the end. It was separated when asked. Everyone had a great meal, but the toasted ravioli was way overcooked, hard and dry. The crab and artichoke appy had no flavor. Natalie was a pretty good serve over all.“

“The food was absolutely amazing! Hidden gem! Highly recommend!!!“

“I went today right as they opened. I’m now mad. I’m mad that I didn’t go here sooner and it took me so long to finally grab a slice here. It was delicious. It was amazing. It was heaven. The people there are great. Amazing place. I will be back a thousand times.“

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

“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“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

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

“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“

“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!“

“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!!“

“We eat here quite often as a family. The food is pretty good, but I'll be honest, we keep coming back because of Kenny's personable service. Kenny has provided exceptional service each and every time! He has taken the time to remember us and our orders, everything is served with a smile, the food comes out perfect and fast, and is all reasonably priced. We will continue being repeat customers!“

“The restaurant is in need of an update. The staff was very friendly and the kid taking orders was hysterical and had me in stitches.

The pizza. The toppings and sauce were tasty. The crust, not so much. Lansky's is a few steps above the pizza chains that have cheap pizzas and a few steps below my favorite pizza places (they are my favorites after all).

Overall, I'd recommend their pizza and would get it again.“

“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“

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

“Best Italian in the Midwest hands down!“

“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🍕“

“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 ?“

“To think you would need to cross the Atlantic Ocean to go to Italy to get an authentic pie… oh how the times have changed. This little Caesars location is the pinnacle of pie. Within ordering through their easily accessible app my pizza was ready within 15 minutes, made hot and fresh. The two girls working helped me navigate their futuristic pizza machine that holds your pizza hot, and out of the reach of others. Not to mention their professionalism and customer service being through the roof. If you’re not getting your pizza from this Little Caesars location, you may need to rethink a few things.“
