Wagyu Hanger Steak
Alison M.

Semo never disappoints! We met friends from Lincoln for dinner and they fell in love as well. You are always greeted like they have been waiting to see you. We were taken to our table right away and had the menus presented. They give you plenty of time to make your choices and are very willing to explain any of the dishes to you. We had the Salmon Rillettes as a starter. Delicious smoked salmon and amazing sourdough bread. I had the Mafaldine and Wagyu Bolognese for the main. Handmade pasta with are rich meat filled sauce. Great choice. For dessert wee shared the Lemon Budino. It tasted like a fresh lemon meringue pie without the crust. Very refreshing! We are so lucky to have such a great restaurant in downtown Fremont. A intimate space for a wonderful meal.

Cheers!

It's just a short trek to Fremont and, pleasantly, the main street in town is lit up for the holidays. Semo offers a cozy restaurant experience with friendly, attentive staff and Italian cuisine made with a caring touch. We went to celebrate my husband's birthday and they offered us a lovely complimentary sparkling wine with dinner plus a special gift after. He had the parsnip truffle soup (outstanding) and I had the radicchio apple salad (a bit too sweet for me). We loved the wagyu bolognese and black squid ink pasta with shrimp (has some heat from chilies). The lingonberry torte was a sweet ending to a delightful meal.

Lovely ambiance, but the place is small. They make all of their pasta in house. Great staff and food was pretty decent. On the expensive side but cute place for a date night.

Chicken thigh risotto and smoked pork tortellini

Continues to be a local favorite!! We went for date night this weekend and ordered a new item on the menu: smoked pork tortellini. YUM! We also had great help choosing the perfect wine, and of course the atmosphere is always so cozy and peaceful.

I could say so much about this place but I'll summarize and say it is worth the drive from Omaha. The ambience is chic, cozy and welcoming. The service is prompt and knowledgeable. The food is fresh, unique, and delish. The cocktails are fun and perfectly balanced. I've been here twice so far and it has been constantly Impressive. Absolutely worth the visit.

Worth the drive to Fremont for sure. They had a small menu but with a great variety. The pasta tasted so fresh and the bread with the leek butter was amazing. We sampled from each other and no one had a dish that someone didn't enjoy. We will be back and I want to order the duck !

This restaurant is tucked in a small space that gives it a very intimate atmosphere. The decor, the lighting and the wine on wall all make it feel like you are in a small restaurant in Italy. The service was great, the drink were amazing and of course the food was delicious!

I'm salivating just writing this review! We had an incredible experience at Semo, one I know that wasn't just an isolated instance. You can tell that the entire staff cares about their restaurant, the people who enter and the neighborhood they're in. We were seated by our server who already had the table set up. Throughout the night, our server was so kind, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. I'm only regretting not getting her name to give her a proper shoutout! Chef/Owner Drew walked in shortly after we sat and he was kind enough to stop in and visit with us for a while. The space is such a vibe. Between the classic bar, exposed brick, wine shelves, open kitchen space and mismatched plates and china, I felt like I was in a true Italian market. For drinks, we both started with the old fashioned. The drink is so simple, yet they still managed to put a spin on it to make it even better. I'm not even sure how to describe how it was slightly different and better, but it was so just take my word for it. As for the food, it may sound like a hyperbole but EVERYTHING we ate was fantastic. I'm not a huge fish fan, but I indulged my husband who wanted to try the halibut starter which came with perfectly crispy and buttery focaccia. They may have turned me into a halibut fan with this one dish! We also tried the tomato salad, which was so fresh and flavorful, it was if they went out back to pick the tomatoes and herbs minutes before serving it to me. For mains, my husband and I split a pistachio pesto with stuffed rigatoni and chicken thighs. It sounds heavy, but the dish was so bright and delicious, it was easy to finish. We also had to get the tajarin and truffle as they're known for their truffle dishes. It came with a HUGE mound of shaved truffles so it was well worth the price even with that. We also tried a few other dishes that the table got, including the bolognese and a mushroom risotto. Let me tell you, I don't often order bolognese because it's usually pretty "basic". But wow. This dish was perfect. The meat was perfectly salty and fatty but not overly rich. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the cheese on top rounded out the dish. We ended this incredible meal with some digestives and one of every dessert because we couldn't pick which included Chef's classic butterscotch budino which is always our go to. Do yourself a favor and book your reservation now! And bring friends so you can try more things (or just be ready to other one of everything...)!

Artisan Cheese and honeycomb
AliMae W.

I will not be able to articulate how impressed I am with this establishment. The ambiance is warm but elegant. Loved that you can watch them make pasta (even passing by outside the window you could stop and watch!) Our server (regrettably forgot her name) was beyond well versed in the menu and professionalism! The food was Devine! Incredibly fresh! Ordered the artisan cheese and honey comb started. WONDERFUL! Had two different pastas, both were cooked to perfection, the flavors were impressive and the portions were good. Also has the scallops, best scallops I've ever had. Finally we finished with the honey Pavlova! Fresh and delicious! Will continue to express how great Semo is, highly recommending to my friends, family and others!

We had a really good experience at Semo! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, and the staff was awesome super knowledgeable and helpful with recommendations. You can tell they really care about the food and the overall dining experience. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully plated.

Squid ink spaghettini + bay scallops
Barbi B.

I took my boyfriend here when he visited from out of town, and I took him here as well as to many reputable restaurants all over Omaha. He said of all the places we went, Semo was his favorite. I think our server's name was Megan? She was wonderful, super helpful and attentive. They don't specialize in steak but the wagyu striploin my boyfriend ordered was next level, better than what we had at a steakhouse the next day. The squid ink spaghettini with bay scallops & romesco sauce was incredible and quite a large helping. I had lots of leftovers the next day. The salmon rillettes with fresh sourdough bread they bake in-house was insaaaaane, so salty and full of flavor. I am sure the chefs could tell from across the room that I was enjoying it by all the noise I was making as I ate it. And for dessert I loved the butterscotch budino. Incredible dinner overall, would LOVE to go again!

This place is AMAZING! If you are a pasta lover, you NEED to check this place out! This European-inspired Nebraskan restaurant is located in downtown Fremont. You can taste the creativity and care infused in every bite and drink at this place. Our table ordered the Egg Nog and Cranberry Daquiri cocktails to start things out and both were exquisite. Next we ordered the Tagliatelle+Black Winter Truffle Pasta and the Mafaldine+Wagyu Bolognese. The flavors were out of this world and the portioning was generous. We ended the night off by ordering the Egg Nog cake, the nutmeg mixed with the bourbon and caramel ice cream was so so tasty. The staff and chefs there were so kind and attentive to our table. I will say the high quality of food is matched with high quality pricing so be mindful of that is pricing is a determining factor for picking out a dinner spot.

We love the experience at Semo! Amazing wine selection, with Somalia on staff to assist. Farm to table hand made delicious food, and I mean memorable foods. Foods that make you say wow! Highly highly recommend. It's a cozy place and the chef will come around to chat on occasion to make sure your experience was good! The atmosphere is comfortable and fits the Italian vibe

Our second time at Cattle Call, and it was just as good as the first time. I love that their menu…read morechanges so the offerings were different this time around we stopped in before a show at the Steelhouse, it was an easy walk to and from the venue. We ordered several appetizers and had drinks. The servers were friendly and the food was delicious. The Crudo was fresh and bright with a bite of spice. Burrata was soft and creamy with tamarind, orange and mint. Highly recommend the Steak Tartare the meat was velvety and the timmur chips had a great crunch for a contrast in texture. Lastly, you can't go wrong with an order of Momos, we got them steamed pork and I could have had 3 more orders. We'll definitely be back!

We really enjoyed our date night at Cattle call! We were able to grab a reservation same day for an…read moreearly dinner and were seated right away. Overall, our server was great and attentive. We started with the pork momo. We've had these before and they're always a great choice. The filling was rich and flavorful, the dumpling dough was perfectly chewy and the dipping sauces added another level of depth and flavor. For mains we split the duck breast and the tagliatelle. The duck was cooked perfectly and the bok choy that came with it added a perfect amount of crunch and mustard flavor. The tagliatelle was rich and the variety of mushrooms in the sauce added so much umami. We look forward to returning!
