The gluten free accommodations are top tier. It’s great to feel included with menu options for gluten free. Top Sirloin was perfectly cooked with great flavor. I will be back more frequently.“

“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.“

“I would highly recommend Milo Italiano for your next Italian experience. Chef Tony came to our table personally to ask us if we were enjoying everything; that’s old school and is amazing. The chicken piccata one of the best I’ve ever had.. will definitely be back again on our next visit to Omaha“

“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!!!“

“Olive Garden is more than just a restaurant—it’s an experience that invites guests to indulge in the warm, comforting embrace of classic Italian-American cuisine. From the moment you step through its doors, you're welcomed into a space where the aromas of freshly baked breadsticks, simmering pasta sauces, and rich, cheesy indulgences fill the air. Whether you're enjoying a hearty bowl of lasagna, savoring a tender chicken parmigiana, or delighting in the endless salad and breadsticks, each bite transports you to a place of warmth and familiarity. With its friendly service, cozy atmosphere, and a menu that blends tradition with innovation, Olive Garden serves up more than just meals; it creates memories, making every visit feel like a celebration of both family and flavor.

Vegetarian options: Very nice“

“What a treat my first time in was!! Amazing food and team and it’s so obvious they all care! I had the rainbow carrots and spaghettini and also their pizza… and I can’t wait to go back and check more off the list! I don’t think you can miss!! If you haven’t been, fix that!“

“In mid-August we went to Avoli Osteria to celebrate a birthday. We heard the food was good-but was blown away by the taste and quality.

I ate the ravioli with hazelnut cream. Incredible! We tried many appetizers and they were fresh and delicious . Everyone tried each other’s mains and they were incredibly delicious. The food was as tasty as it was beautiful.

I also ordered a non-alcoholic drink that was so delicious-I let our excellent server choose.

Don’t miss the Tiramisu! Absolutely fabulous!

We plan to return to try other items on the menu.“

“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!“

“Our waitress Michaella was over the top friendly and provided great service. I loved that all that the staff seemed to help each other out. We ordered off the Happy Hour Menu which was well priced but would love to come back and try some Main Menu items.“

“We went to celebrate a birthday so was hoping everything would be excellent. It exceeded expectations! All of our dishes were phenomenal. Our server, Carlos, was super friendly and put up with all our questions and was always right there when we needed him. Superb service, excellent Italian food, and just a beautiful place to celebrate a special occasion!“

“Everything was perfect. The waiter I got originally before they switched him was kind and friendly and the kind lady who replaced our waiter was also very lovely and respectful. The food and speed of service was excellent and the restaurant itself was very clean and organized. Would recommend this location. As for the people curious about the best time to eat would be around 3 to 4 before they get pretty busy at 5pm.

Parking: There's plenty of room but it can get full if you come in after 5

Kid-friendliness: Kid friendly.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair accessible.“

“Amazing food! Highly recommend!“

“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 ?.“

“Shawn was the best waiter!“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“First time having tasty pizza last night. We’ve been trying different pizza places around Omaha and this one was a big hit with the family. Very affordable for a big family of 6 and the pizza was amazing. My kids and I went to pick up the pizza and the restaurant was extremely clean and such a nice little place. Next time we will definitely stay to eat instead of ordering out. I highly recommend trying tasty’s if you haven’t.“

“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!!“

“Tried this place for the first time & it was excellent!! Had the Italian Beef sandwich & a slice.I definitely recommend this place!!“

“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 wife and I were in Omaha for a visit last night, and Dante was close to our hotel. I am so glad we found the place. I had rigatoni, which was wonderful, and my wife had something called Lion's Mane, which she loved, too. The service was excellent, the prices were reasonable, and I wish they would open a location in Kansas City. My only regret is that we are seldom in this area so we can't go back.“

“Ordered over the phone for take out. First time trying this place. Food was delicious. The staff i met were very courteous and delightful“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Cascio's Steakhouse is a great Italian / Steakhouse just outside of Oldtown Omaha, not easily walkable from there though. This was my 2nd visit and the food has been excellent both times. There was an event of some sort happening last night when we were there and service was a little slow due to this, but overall still a good experience.“

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

“It had been a long time since I'd eaten here. My husband and I thought it sounded good. We asked for both cheeses but only got Romano. It was okay. I miss the LaCasa taste when Mary was still with us. We knew it was going to be expensive before ordering but 2 pizzas and fried ravioli was over $60! It's pizza. It literally has the one of the biggest profit margins in restaurants. I ordered to get a taste of my history. It was okay.“

“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!!“

“Had the Philly cheesesteak, fries, and fried oreos. Everything was absolutely delicious, especially the oreos. Even went back for more! The service was great and fast!“

“Best pizza ever! I "DO JOT" eat at commercial pizza restaurants so if you're willing to pay just a few extra bucks it's worth it. Why eat a pizza just because it was cheap instead of buying one you'll thourghly enjoy!“

“**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!“

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

“Wow is what I want to say. Honestly never cared for Lansky's but this place is more than a name change. The food is amazingly upgraded as well. As a Philadelphian it is awesome to almost taste home. I now prefer 531 to pepperjax, and to the negative Nelly's grease coming off you pizza is what it's supposed to be like. The garlic cheese stix were perfection and the Marinara was seasoned to perfection. I will be returning. Great first food impression I will recommend“

“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.“

“This is my family's go-to pizza joint. Hands down best atmosphere and service. The pizza, Caesar salad and wings are great. We love Big Fred's! The sauce, cheese and thin crust are excellent. Definitely a true staple of Omaha.“

“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 ?“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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.“
