I honestly can't believe I've been to Via Farina this many times and never left a review because…read moreit's easily one of my favorite restaurants in Omaha -- and without question my favorite pizza in town. Every visit has been consistently incredible, from the food to the atmosphere to the drinks. My most recent visit was for Mother's Day, and I definitely recommend making a reservation for holidays or weekends because it gets busy for good reason. I also could not resist the espresso martinis... and by that I mean I had two. No regrets. For dinner we tried the weekend special, "The Old Chicago," with Calabrian pomodoro, mozzarella, pecorino, cup and char sausage, herb ricotta, and pepperoncini. Absolutely unreal. The combination of spicy, creamy, and savory flavors was perfect, and the crust was exactly what I've come to expect from Via Farina -- crisp, chewy, and somehow still light. This place never misses. Whether it's date night, celebrating something special, or just craving really good pizza and cocktails, Via Farina is always at the top of my list.

We worked up a big appetite after spending the day at the Omaha zoo. Plus the hubby wanted pizza!…read moreThanks to Yelp for this find, it was only a 8-minute drive from the zoo. We started off with happy hour drinks and calamari. The lemonchello and Negroni are strong!!! You've been warned! The calamari was surprisingly delicious. It didn't have a fishy taste, the breading was thin, tasty and yummy. The sauces it came with were also bomb. It had a nice kick along with pickled peppers that I could eat by itself. Now to the stars of the show -- margherita and pepperoni pizza. Wow. It almost felt like our taste buds were transported to Italy after the first few bites. Both of these pizzas were on the happy hour menu. I strongly recommend getting them if you're in a pizza mood. From the fresh dough, to fresh cheese and marinara sauce.. these pizzas alone are a huge reason we will come back. Our daughter had the buttered noodles which were also tasty. Our server was great, food came out in a timely manner. The space itself is clean and cozy. There is a bar, plus indoor and outdoor seating. Thanks to the Via Farina team for a fantastic dinner experience!

I don't live close to the location, but I plan my weekly trip out to Casanova's. The service is great, and we feel like regulars whenever we go in. We usually go for the sirloin steaks and whatever homemade sausages they have for the week. They also have specials on some of their meat options that change depending on the season. I really appreciate their pricing here as well, we don't feel like we are breaking the bank with getting meat from here vs the grocery stores. Once you start getting fresh meat from Casanova's, you won't go back!

The owner is a complete fraud! He charged me an exorbitant $200 for a charcuterie board that I…read morespecified needed to serve 15 people. It barely had enough meat to make a sandwich for ONE person, along with grapes and cheese. I even saw a board on his website that he sells for $130, which could have easily fed 30+ people. I should have realized something was amiss when he said I made it just for you in a condescending manner. Spread the word, I have already started, that he does not treat every customer with the same respect. He is a crook!

Pomodoro's was the "Food Truck Friday" feature on August 13th at Elk Creek Crossing and the…read moreopportunity to avoid cooking on Fridays is always appealing. We traveled a few blocks for fresh homemade Italian dishes, along with a number of neighbors who had the same idea. Arriving at 5:45-shortly after the 5:30 start time, we were surprised at the line that quickly multiplied with families taking advantage of the great weather and playground equipment that kept the young ones occupied. A wide variety of menu options were available including fresh pasta with a choice of alfredo, marinara or meat sauce. Meatball, brats and Italian sausage subs topped the sandwich offerings. Hamburgers and fries were offered but I didn't see or hear anyone ordering from the grill. A children's menu and family feast were also listed on the hand lettered menus taped to the truck. I ordered the fresh pasta with meat sauce and added a meatball. My husband opted for the Italian sausage sub with potato salad. My entree came with a breadstick and the meat sauce was so packed with meat that I probably could have skipped the added meatballs. My husband raved about his Italian sausage sandwich and I was impressed that they wrapped the bun in foil to keep it from soaking up sauce on the trip home. We had a short 5-7 minute wait for our meals which was delivered in foam takeout containers. Plastic napkin wrapped silverware was available for those eating in the park. The young lady taking orders was well equipped for the crowd and kept the line moving very efficiently. Credit cards were accepted and someone from the kitchen shouted a "thanks for coming" as we exited with our order. Food truck Friday is a welcome addition in our neighborhood and Pomodoro's did not disappoint.

The drinks were okay, nothing bad, but probably not something I would order again next time. It was very easy to make a reservation, which I appreciated, and parking right in front made it super convenient. The place itself was busy and a bit loud, so just something to keep in mind if you are looking for a quieter brunch spot. They do offer patio seating, and while it is right next to the parking lot, it is still nice to be outside. Overall, a solid brunch option, but a bit overpriced for what you get.
