Years later, and Dante is still cranking out great Napolitana cuisine. I got a lunch special with my two favorite items from Dante: Margherita pizza and the greens. Both were just as great as I remembered. The pizza has great flavor from the San Marzano tomatoes, 00 flour, etc. and you can tell each step is done right. When something is so simple, mistakes become very evident. But this pizza is as tasty as fresh as I remember it. I had forgotten how much I missed this salad! Fresh greens, bright lemon flavor, lightly dressed, and the pistachios add a unique flavor and crunch. read more

Went on a Saturday night and luckily were able to get seated right away without having a reservation even though they were busy. The host and waitstaff were both great! The farm greens salad and Margherita D.O.P. pizza with the buffalo mozzarella tasted good, but I would give it 4-stars just due to the higher pricing and the pizza not being very warm when it came out from the kitchen. They do have half-price Happy Hour from 2-5pm daily, which would probably be the best time to go. read more

Wonderful! The food was phenomenal and our server Maddie was the best in town. Will be returning! The whole place is a vibe.

Three entrees and 2 drinks $180.00. One entree the pasta was not al dente, but undercooked. The second entree was so salty it was not edible. No bread on the table (never been to an Italian restaurant that didn't serve bread). Although you could purchase bread for $9.00. Grossly overpriced and as far as food, thumbs down. read more

I spoke to Jennifer at Dante about hosting a customer LUNCH. She missed my original call and connected with me an hour later. They then told me it was possible to do a lunch for 10 and when I called to solidify, they informed me that there was a $5,000.00 minimum. This is LUNCH! That would be $500 per person, no booze, no steaks...just for a pasta, bread and vegetables for lunch. I am now scrambling to find a venue for Tuesday. This was not a professional experience with an experienced event planner. This is a novice, trying to upsell and not ethically. She has sent me multiple texts trying to justify the pricing and you simply can't. If you want to do a corporate meal here, be very careful....This is more of a headache than it needs to be. I would not recommend ....BEWARE! read more

Dante's has always been a favorite of ours. The food, service and ambience were all exceptionally good. But we visited last night for dinner and were disappointed. The service was great but the food lacked. While the flavors were pretty good, it tasted like it had been sitting in the kitchen and warmed up a bit before serving. And it wasn't warmed enough. It was like going back for that second round at the buffet table at home - taste profile still pretty good, but it's been sitting a while. Hope this was just a fluke night and they'll get it right next time. read more

Second time here. We have been very pleased on both visits. Tonight my wife and enjoyed very unique and delicious salads and a very yummy pizza. We each decided on our dinner choices over a glass of wine for my wife and an Old Fashioned for me. My wife was very happy with her wine and I enjoyed my cocktail. Our waiter was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. Honestly this was a great experience and evening for both of us. read more

First time at Dante. We were a party of 7 and ordered enough items on the menu to get a taste of what they had to offer. I am hopeful it was just an off night for the kitchen because we only had 2 dishes worth raving about. The risotto was watery and not creamy as one would expect. The pizza were good and large enough to share those 3 people each ordered their own and had leftovers! My favorite thing was the meatballs and polenta, I should have ordered it as my meal. I ordered the mushroom pasta which wasn't as I thought it be, it had more tomato flavor than mushroom. The chicken breast ordered by another in our party was raved about and seemed to be the best thing ordered! The service was a bit slow despite it not being busy. My best recommendation is to order the Gold Rush for a cocktail ( I am a bourbon drinker). read more

Such an amazing place for date night or to catch up with friends. The service is great and service is super fast. The meatballs and the pizza were amazing! Brussels Sprouts were not my favorites but if you like wood grill style, I bet you would love it. Great wine selection and super friendly staff. read more

The hype I've heard about this place didn't really live up to our expectations. The menu looks all very appetizing with the ingredients and description, but didn't really quite hit the mark where it mattered...taste. Especially with the price you're paying. read more

Stopped by on a Friday evening and it's a busy spot! Bigger than it seems on the outside. Service was wonderful, we had a very sweet waitress who came by to help us out. Wait time was a good 20-25 after we ordered, but on a busy Friday night expected. The calamari was delicious and brighter than I expected. Carbonara had a lovely bite to it and was a great portion. I wanted to like the Diavolo more, but I think it was overloaded with toppings so it lost some of its crust. Regardless, a yummy and fun way to spend a Friday evening. read more

Ok, we moved from Arizona to Here due to my work . We were looking for a good place to eat dinner and we were told about this place . So we decided to give it a chance. Very nice and clean inside . I ordered the pizza Diablo . Wife ordered their risotto. Pizza was ok to my taste was a bit dry . Wife's Risotto was amazing . I had some of hers . But the service was bad . We felt we were getting treated different from other tables . Not getting refills we asked for waiting for them but other tables will get theirs ASAP . that makes you think . So that's the reason I gave this place a 2 stars will I go back No.. due to the lack of service thank you( I've worked in the restaurant business ) so I know have to wait tables and that was not good at all . read more

Dante - Diablo pizza - Italian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

This place honestly is overpriced. The food is decent but they all have a unique spin, but maybe doing too much.

the place had a lot of hype & it was one of the worst restaurants i've been to. the food could not have been more mid, staff was friendly but inattentive & service was slow. cocktails are batches & were awful (definitely go for wine!). budino was super sweet, could only have a few bites. a bit tough with celiac but they do have gluten free noodles that they outsource. they change their menu daily & source a lot of ingredients locally read more

Right on the cusp of four vs five stars. To Dante's credit, it is not a cookie-cutter establishment. Many items on the menu are not duplicated elsewhere. The online menu was a bit out of date, had New Years' specials etc and a cocktail I wanted to try that was not on tonight's menu. I took that as a negative on the cocktail. Many things were excellent or almost so, but just a bit pricey here and there that added up to more than we really wanted to spend on Italian food. Cocktails e.g. a couple bucks more than they could have been for what they were. The non-pork/weird meat portion of the menu, while it does exist, does not have quite the variety of the rest of the menu. The Ricotta and Honeycomb appetizer was excellent. Highly recommended. The farm greens salad was excellent. We had two pizzas, the pistachio, which was ambitious but perhaps better on paper than in real life, and the margherita, which was delicious. We had leftovers of those which we had hoped would be saved for adults, but our six-year-old gave the margherita her seal of approval too. Butterscotch budino dessert was delicious. Service was impeccable. We had a small problem with our order (which was our fault to begin with, not Dante's) and they made it right ASAP. We sat at the lower level. Acoustics were not great there. I think it was quieter on the upper level, but the traffic pattern favored the lower level. Bottom line: if you want to try Italian food that's a bit on the edge and don't care about a few extra bucks, absolutely go. read more

Absolutely love this place. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care--perfect al dente pasta, rich sauces, and an overall top tier dining experience. Service is warm and attentive, and the cozy atmosphere makes it a wonderful restaurant for both a date night or dinner with friends. Easily one of the best Italian spots in Omaha. My better half and I can't wait to come back! read more

Great food, great service, great family. Dante has catered several events and always knocks it out of the park. Not only is the food amazing - the plating and attention to detail is gorgeous. 10000% recommend - again and again! read more

Great location for Italian food. The amore di carne pizza was great and would highly recommend. The bolognese was hearty and filling. Adding the burrata is a great touch. Service was excellent with just the right amount of attention given to our table. read more

Scratch kitchen. Impeccable service. Great room. All Italian wine menu. All around superb experience.

Went there for New Year's Eve dinner last night and was expecting the price fixe menu as advertised. We get there and they are not doing the Price Fixe menu anymore apparently it was for last year but was still up on their website. The bolognese was overpriced for the quality, the pizza was soggy, and the lobster and scallops pasta was not good. The pasta was crunchy. And this was after they had delivered the wrong food and had to rush to get the correct order. Overall, the price did not match the quality of the food. read more

Service is now subpar. Food and atmosphere is high quality as always. - Waited over 30 mins for 7:15pm reservation. No apology or comp ("tables are lingering a bit longer tonight"). Second time waiting 30+ mins at Dante - Drink order did not arrive for 20 mins. Martini made incorrectly twice (made with vodka, not gin... made with olive, not twist) - No small plates brought for apps / pizza without asking after food brought - Water not filled once without asking At New York Italian prices, I expect a reasonable bar of service that was not met, and hasn't been met for my last two visits. read more

The pizza is the only real highlight here. While the menu looks great, anything outside the pizza program falls short. Service was average and the ambiance is lacking. Avoid the front side of the menu and desserts. If your craving a decent pizza that is overpriced, this is your spot. Much better spots in the immediate area to choose from. read more

Dante is one of my favorite restraunts in Omaha. Food and service are always too notch!

The best Italian food in Omaha! We always have the best experience at Dante from food to service, always top notch.

amazing food and service had the short-rib ravioli one of the best meals ever we will be back read more

We went to Dante to celebrate our and my in-laws anniversary. We forgot to make a reservation but the waiting wasn't that bad. We ordered pizza, appetizers and drinks, all of which were served at a decent time and didn't had to wait long. The service was amazing and very knowledgeable about the different options they had. The only complaint I had was the parking spaces available near the restaurant but that's not something they control. Overall it was great experience and the food was amazing!! I highly recommend It. read more

Dante is spectacular. It is a must stop. It is an unforgettable experience and trip away from the mundane. Their extraordinary curated wine list, all imported from Italy, the farm to table, hyper seasonal specials are what make this place unique. The team at Dante's is phenomenal, they go the extra mile and are knowledgeable and sincere. The farm to table quality and freshness of their ingredients and wonderful staff is what makes this place top tier. read more

Absolutely amazing Italian food! Everything tasted fresh, authentic, and full of flavor. The pasta was cooked perfectly, the sauce was rich and homemade, and the portions were generous. The staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting--perfect for a date night or a night out with friends. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and the experience here. This place is definitely going into our regular rotation. Highly recommend! read more

I had never been here before. We placed a pick up order. When you pull up to park, there's a sign that says, "Dante take out - call x". I called and stated that I had a pick up order. The man on the other end very irritably said, "Ok...and?" I shared I had never been before, and saw the sign said to call. He then responded with, "You have a pick up order already? You need to place an order?" I told him I had placed an order online, was here to pick it up, and called. He said, "Um...ok...well....I guess I'll see if we have someone that can bring it out" and hung up. The side salad was NOT worth $12. The pizza was good. I doubt we'll be back. read more

We've eaten at restaurants all over Omaha and Dante's continues to be in our top 3 favorites. First, it has a warm, cozy-like interior and the staff is so welcoming. Secondly, all the pasta is made fresh and the entrees/pizza are all amazing. The menu changes daily and the chef uses seasonal items like the asparagus and ramp soup this week. The greens are harvested locally daily so don't miss the Farm Greens salad. Save room for dessert because the gelato trio rivals anything in Italy and is only $10(!). Passing by and already ate? Just go in for a cappuccino and gelato - heavenly. Also, don't miss half price wine nights Thursday/Sun. Sit at the bar, have a bottle, savor some great Italian food and make a friend or two! read more

A group of friends and i went to Dante and i think it's a great spot for a group dinner! They had the service speed and manpower to cater to a larger group, as well as the space! My favorite dish was the ricotta and honey appetizer. I found the food to be okay in my opinion, but that could be me not being used to this type of flavor profile. The duck ragu was rich and creamy. The rigatoni bolognese was really good and had the perfect balance of saltiness. The lion mane gnocchi was not a favorite among the crowd, as the mushroom was very earthy and slightly bitter and the truffle seemed to overpower the dish. The gnocchi on its own was good tho! The salad was very refreshing especially with the apples. Other than those dishes, the other dishes did not stand out as memorable to me, but they were pretty ok. read more

Very friendly and quick. Order was ready in 20 min and helped quickly. I called in for pick up. I've never gone to this area so the maps was a bit confusing. It's in a plaza with windy roads but I figured it out and lots of parking spaces behind and in front of the restaurant. I walked in and was greeted right away. I asked for to go utensils and he offered Parmesan. I said yes so he want to go grab some. Another server saw me waiting and asked if I was helped after the first person went to get me Parmesan. It was a very small box so I was concerned based on price what I just got. I ordered the Bolognese. It actually ended up being just enough food to fill me up. The sauce and meat had lots of flavor - very good. A couple pasta pieces did look like it was reheated or if this dish was baked, it was the end pieces that were really dried out. I was pretty satisfied but the price is a bit high for a casual dining place. read more

Worst food ever! The chicken was so salty I couldn't eat it. The derive was top notch. Too bad the food wasn't as good as the wait staff.

Eh! This is a place that tries way too hard to be something that it really isn't. We have loved Dante many times in the past. But the last year or so, it just doesn't seem as good anymore. We went on a Tuesday night and were immediately asked if we had a reservation. Weird when the restaurant was over half empty and I told the hostess we had two people. Then we were seated right next to another table of two when there were plenty of other spots open. Just leaving one table between us would have been nice. Let's get to the food. I have absolutely loved Dante pizza in the past. But both of our pizzas were totally burnt on the bottom...like charred and all you taste is that awful burnt taste. I know pizza can be finicky with ovens like theirs this was terrible. Leftovers the next day were even worse since it was soggy and charred. Our server was nice enough but seemed way too formal for the atmosphere and the food. We also saw him never after our food was dropped off and sat waiting for quite awhile before we got boxes and a check. (The two people right next to us waited even longer than we did and they were clearly finished for quite awhile.). For the price, just not worth it especially if the food is going to be less than amazing. I will gladly pay for food that is great. This was just really disappointing. No more visits for us. There are many better places around for better food and environment. read more

I always enjoy my visits to Dante. The Sunday lunch menu is always fun. The grinder sandwich has been on my list to try for a couple years. Tried it today and it was fantastic. The thin slices of carrot and pickled vegetables added a wonderful crunch to the classic combo of cured meats. A delightful take on the grinder sandwich. Highly recommended though the mortadella sandwich is still my favorite. read more

OOF this place was delightful. I love the vibes here. Kinda fancy but not over the top. Perfect date night spot! The service was exceptional. They did a great job at checking in and interacting with us! The food was outstanding. I got the bolognese...I dream about it! I tried some of my husband's pizza which was also ahhhmazing. I wanted to try everything on their menu- it all sounded so good! We'll be back! read more

Very satisfied with my recent visit to Dante's! Me & my husband stopped by here around lunch time to give it a try & it was amazing! The host was very polite, sat us very quickly, the restaurant is very classy & comfy. Our server was very professional & helpful in deciding what we were interested in to eat as first timers. I ended up ordering their pizza Amore Di Carne & my husband ordered a pizza Bianco with spicy sausage! It was amazing, very fresh pizza with fresh ingredients. Only con was they didn't have any military discounts or benefits but that's okay! Will definitely be back!!! read more
