But no matter where you may live or visit in Lincoln, this is worth the drive home because the longer your drive after dinner, the more your reverie about the experience, a combination of excellent food and silky ambiance.

We were traveling across the country and stopped in Lincoln for the night…read more Our hotel located off the freeway was surrounded by fast food restaurants and I didn't see any type of sit down restaurants in the area. I checked Yelp and found Villa Amore a little over a mile away and the reviews were great. The pictures looked a little fancy so we were concerned we would be undressed as we were in our travel clothes but we noticed they had a bar so we would be okay. We drove up and saw the restaurant is attached to a small hotel. We walked in and although the restaurant has white table cloths and nicely appointed, everyone was very casual so don't be concerned about being underdressed. It isn't as fancy as the pictures look but it is a nice restaurant. We sat at the bar which was perfect for us. There is plenty of additional seating in the bar area or you can sit in the dining area. The bartenders were very friendly and attentive. Dre took our order and another female bartender attended to us as well. She was professional and nice as well. We sat down and ordered drinks. Dre brought a basket of bread with olive oil dipping sauce and butter. The bread was warm and crispy. We ordered the Chicken & Sausage $18.00/Chicken$18.00/Sausage$20.00/Both. Sautéed in a creamy brandy sauce over penne pasta. The pasta was cooked well. Chicken and sausage were tender and flavorful. The sauce was delicious. It was very rich. The dish also came with a salad which was refreshing. The ranch dressing tasted homemade. Very good. We also ordered a 12" thin crust pizza. Classic Italian, $14.00. Meatballs, pepperoni, sausage, and mozzarella cheese. Although it was thin crust, I wish it would have been more crispy. The sauce a little too sweet but it was tasty. This restaurant is worth a stop if you are traveling through Lincoln and prefer a nice sit down meal.

This is my first time here, and it was with my partner and his company for their holiday outing…read more The staff did a great job of taking care of us, although we were a party of about 25 people, spread out in the small tables of their back room. The lemon drop martini was great, a little on the south side, which I don't mind. The Caesar salad was a good starter, as were a few appetizers (not pictured) that we started our meal with. I wish I remember the name of my pasta dish, but I don't see it on the full menu. We had a limited menu for the company party, but this was a cavatappi pasta with a white sauce, and I added shrimp to the dish. It was excellent! I also got to try The chicken Parmesan, lasagna, and a few other dishes. All were great for the price point. Overall, I would definitely recommend this spot for a casual date night, or a group event of any kind!

We were seated right away with a large party, which was a great start. Our server was super nice…read moreand did a good job staying attentive, especially considering how big our group was. I ordered spaghetti with marinara and a side salad. I specifically asked for no cucumbers, but the salad still came out with them. It's one vegetable I absolutely hate, but I didn't send it back, just wish a little more attention had been paid to that request. The pasta itself wasn't very good. The marinara barely coated the noodles and didn't have much flavor, so I ended up asking for a side of Alfredo just to make it better. Overall, maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but the food didn't impress me. The highlight of the experience was definitely the server handling such a large group so well.

We made reservation for my mom in law's birthday celebration…read more There is an elevator on the first floor that takes you up to the second level. Hostess was very prompt and we were brought into a private dining room for our dinner Our server Tatum was wonderful. She was very attentive and we enjoyed the service. Tasting menu can be found online and its 185 per person. We ordered ala carte. We ordered Crab sanchetti, grilled octopus, hamachi sashimi, tajarin dala forma and a 48oz steak to share. We had a group of 7. Ambiance was fantastic till the other party of about 10 came into the private room. They were very noisy and not very considerate. Our drinks came promptly. I had a midnight mist, hubby had the raspberry berret. And my mom in law had some red dessert wine. Food was fanstastic. The hamachi sashimi was delicious - super fresh. Oysters were absolutely delish very well shelled. The grilled octopus was tender and not overly cooked. The steak was tender and delicious in the au jus. The mash was whipped and absolutely creamy like cloud. We ordered the 48 oz ribeye steak to share it was delicious and they do slice it up for you so that it is easy to share. The spaghetti tajarin dala forma was made table side and the head of service explained what he was doing step by step. Unfortunately, this experience was marred by our neighbours for the night as they were enjoying themselves too much. The shisito pepper on the mash was nicely crusted and absolutely delish. Even the onion, and green onions were devoured. After that, we ordered dessert. I had the stone fruit chocolate tart and it was decadent. Chocolate with light mint. Absolutely delicious It came with a price tag though. Great for occassions- like birthdays and anniversaries when you want to splurge A wonderful experience! Thank you to all at the Casa Bovina. Definitely a night to remember.

Her and her team didn't miss a beat. We ordered the chef cut steak a 48 Oz ribeye, hamachi sashimi, grilled octopus, oysters on the halfshell, crap sacchetti, tajarin dalla forma (made tableside). Everything was delicious. My wife and I had the chocolate tart and polenta cake. Which where fabulous as well.

If you want bourbon variety and also a place you can feel welcome, this is the place…read more Walked in and had an hour and a half coco with a regular about life.

First time at napoli's…read more We were seated immediately and greeted cheerfully. Hubby ordered a diet coke and i got iced tea with lemon. Iced tea was inconsistent. The first glass was very light second was darker. Taste - regular iced tea. Nothing special. Meals were to be served with bread rolls Bread rolls came with my soup Bread rolls were soft and fluffy absolutely delish. The soup was pretty good - just a bit too salty for me i could feel salt granules. My salmon palermo was a tad bit overcooked for me. Still edible but a bit dry. The pasta was also a tad bit overcooked- tried hubby's spaghetti and that was truly al dente. My spaghetti had broccoli and tomatoes in it. And it was pretty nicely seasoned with a splash of tang from lemon juice. Tiramisu was pretty good. I still prefer the traditional tiramisu with just cocoa powder on top. This has chocolate sauce on the top. Not a deal breaker - just my preference Overall, decent meal. Might not be back so soon though coz of hubby's meal. He found it inconsistent in tempersture on his plate of spaghetti

We got seated the moment we walked in…read more Service was phenomenol. I ordered an aviation, a shrimp cargot, and a seafood Alfredo to share with the hubs. Bread is freshly baked, felt a little over-oiled. And a little dense. It left oil on the fingers. Ambiance was cozy. There were bottles lining the top and looked very cute. The seafood was cooked well, mussels were a little overcooked and the sauce was heavy. We couldn't eat a lot. We also ordered tiramisu to go. The tiramisu was surprisingly light and good. Overall I'm giving them 3.5 stars. Rounded up to 4. Mainly for exceptional service and a good dessert.

I recommend any of the pastas and the white pizza (olive oil, garlic, ricotta and spinach on a thin crust). Flavorful, topping-heavy and made from scratch. The Antipasto Salad is also terrific! They used to deliver their fresh-brewed iced tea and it was soooooo good that I would order two of them. I hope they bring that back someday. Also greatly missed: the homeade cheesecakes they used to have. They were best in the state! Don't order the cheesecake now, it's only so-so. Go for the Tiramisu instead....its delicious.

As someone who's originally from New York, I'll admit I'm a tough pizza critic -- but I genuinely…read moretry to keep an open mind and judge restaurants on their own merit. Unfortunately, Piezano's just didn't hit the mark for us. The biggest issue was the quality of the food. The pizza lacked freshness and flavor, and overall it felt poorly executed, especially for a place centered around pizza. It wasn't a matter of personal preference or style -- the quality itself was disappointing. That said, the staff were very friendly, kind, and attentive. Everyone we interacted with was polite and tried their best, though the team did seem quite young and possibly undertrained, which showed a bit in the overall experience. The most concerning part of our visit was the bathroom, which was absolutely disgusting. Cleanliness is a basic expectation for any restaurant, and this alone would make us hesitant to return. We really wanted to like this place, but between the food quality and the cleanliness issues, we don't see ourselves coming back. With some serious improvements to cleanliness and food execution, it could be better -- but as it stands, it missed the mark for us.

The outside of this place looked rundown and when we walked in around 9:30 pm on a Tuesday it was initially completely empty. But the two girls behind the counter were extremely friendly, took our order and brought out what turned out to be a delicious pizza as well as a paneer based dish we ordered when we realized we'd found an pizza place that somehow also served indian cuisine. The pizza was well above average, service was excellent, and the excitement of discovering a new off the beaten path and practically hidden go-to spot for late night dinners made these a great experience and Rita's a place I hope to revisit soon.
