When we first opened our doors in 1985, we were on a mission. We wanted to bring a taste of New York to the heart of Omaha with authentic New York Style pizza. For over 30 years we have proudly served the Omaha area, and have been honored to be recognized

My favorite pizza in town. Fast, good service even when busy. I usually take out of town visitors here and they have been please. Several lunch specials. They sell by slice or pie. They also give kids dough to play with while they wait. My favorite is a simple slice of cheese, but I havenât had any type I did not enjoy here. I also recommend the calzones. Not a fan of the wings here though. Very cool location/ vibe inside.

We only went there once but service and food wasn't the best. I'm used to the old Johnny's downtown and really expected better. I will admit, they were busy but the service was slow and the food was cold, and it seemed like they were trying to push us out to seat more customers. We may try it again, not sure.Hi Rick - thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am disappointed to hear about your recent experience that was not up to our high expectations. We never want a customer to feel like they are being pushed out. We want our customers to feel comfortable and well taken care of. I can assure you this review has been shared with restaurant management and our culinary team to use as a learning opportunity. If you have any additional feedback please send to [email protected].

Admittidly, we were there on a Saturday evening. This must be the only family restaurant in downtown. I love kids. I have kids of my own. There's lots of families with kids here. I love big families. With kids there's always something going on. You'll find it here. Pasta is what pasta is. It's filling. Service was good but they did miss a critical point. We only foudn out afterward that a trip to the salad bar was included. Others in our party (served at a different table becuase they had to split us up) were offered the salad bar when they ordered their food. When we found out after we were finished our waiter said, "oh yeah, you want to to get you some plates." ---No. We're already done we replied.It was an honest oversight. No harm but it did happen. If I wanted some spaghetti i wouldn't object to going back there if someone suggested it. :-)Thanks so much for coming out. We're glad to see your entire party was able to get well fed, and everyone enjoyed their meal. We're sorry we missed explaining our ordering process better. Thank you for your understanding, and we can't wait to give you a delicious, complete Spaghetti Works experience when you come back. Hope to see you soon. Best, The Team at Spaghetti Works

This was the second time visiting Spaghetti works, hoping for something better than my last experience. Server was nice but unprofessional, telling us when and how we could order and eventually inviting herself to be part of our group (I took note of her name, but I'm not trying to get anyone in trouble). Food was nothing I wouldn't expect at a fast-food chain but it was okay. Sauces were under-seasoned. Salad Bar was characterized by a member of our group as "sorry excuse for a salad bar". The prices were okay, but compared to the experience, seriously over-priced. It's sad to say but this Omaha-area legend (Everyone knows Spaghetti Works) will very likely never get another visit from me.

Have visited Biaggi's many times over the years...and had another wonderful time again just recently. Ambiance and atmosphere is welcoming and relaxing...never too noisy due to the sensible acoustic design components of the interior layout. Service is fast and friendly, always is. And once again, the dining was delicious. And near to the end of our stay, the manager will usually stroll by your table to inquire about your experience...and he is sincerely wishing to here your honest feedback. Biaggi's knows how to play in the competitive restaurant arena...provide a fabulous facility, professional and polite waitstaff, with quality dining options in very large portions at reasonable prices. All the boxes are checked. Plan a visit to Biaggi's...you will enjoy !!!

Italian wine, hyper-seasonal, wood-fired Italian & Neapolitan pizza in Omaha.
Reviewed By lmc8788
We ate at Dante's on our visit to Omaha. It's close to the Marriott Fairfield and sounded wonderful. We got the Oven Fried Chicken Livers which were Amazing and the Margarita DOP Pizza. I expected a bit more cheese, especially when paying $7 more for the 12" pie. It had maybe 5 little slices but the flavor was good. The sauce is a tad watery so the middle of the pizza was limp and sopping, dripping wet with the thin liquid. The worst part was the Hostess there. She had one of those Bull Ring type nose piercings in. It had 2 balls on the ends and she just kept playing with those balls. I don't know about you, but when I go to a place to eat, I rather not see the staff with their fingers up their nose. Just NOT appetizing at all!!!!

Visited here for business meeting on a Sunday night. Wonderful food, most of it locally sourced. Great service. The Chef visited our table to make sure all was well. I experienced my first decline ever of my credit card-Taylor tried her best to make it go through. I wasn't made to feel shamed at all. A coworker rescued me, thankfully. I look forward to visiting again very soon!

In Omaha during CWS, we were lucky to get a table here. We stopped in after getting turned away at other places due to long wait. We had amazing service and unforgettable food. The salmon was cooked to perfection and the pasta was yummy. Carrots were a surprise as a side dish, rather than asparagus but I ended up really liking them. A definite must if you enjoy Italian food.

We were stopping in the area for the night and found Spezia on Trip Advisor. Since it wasn't too far from our hotel we decided to give it a try. There was a wait when we arrived but being tired we decided to wait in the bar and decompress. In a reasonable amount of time we were called to a table so that worked out fine. The Caesar salad was a little different since it had tomato in it, not a traditional preparation but it was ok. But the Beef Burgundy pasta was so delicious! I don't remember having a similar dish before but this was outstanding. If this restaurant was in my town I would go back often. Thanks for a nice evening.

First time in Omaha and went with trip advisor recommendation. There's a reason this place is ranked number one. Friendly service, a bit of history, and excellent pizza. When the owner found out we were first timers, he gave us a loaf of bread that they bake fresh everyday. This is more of a carry out business and the business coming in was constant on a Sat. afternoon. The owner set up a table for us to eat on. Very nice man. Highly recommend.
