Pasta Amore

This is one of those places where you can count on the food to be good, but it's not going to be the best you've ever had.First I wanted to say our server was great. She was speedy, very personable, and gave us extra bread to take home right from the start!The bread was delicious. I wouldn't say it tasted like focaccia like it says on the menu, but it was dense, fluffy, and had a delicious truffle butter coating. I also loved the whipped ricotta on the side.We also both started with salads. Mine had a Gorgonzola dressing, which was very good.I had the pesto gnocchi. I typically prefer a creamier pesto, but this was good. I will say this has a LOT of olive oil. A little too much for my taste. My husband had the pasta sampler. He thought everything was pretty good but not necessarily fantastic. Our favorite item from the mix was the cannelloni. It's a little pricey for the quality, but I wouldn't hesitate to return.

I recently enjoyed an intimate birthday celebration for a friend here. We had a 7pm reservation on a saturday night, and we're promptly sat. It is a small space, but again, felt very intimate. We started with 2 orders of bruchetta, and all of us enjoy glasses of pellegrino. Our server was handling our table, and a table in another room so she was in and out. We ordered our dinners, all coming with soup and salad. I really liked the broth of the belly button soup. Then came the bread, and then more carbs, the pasta! I got the combo, which includes 4 different pastas. I wish i liked it. I really only cared for the tortellin. My husband and our friend both got the prime rib, it was cooked to perfection!! Very tender.The birthday girl ordered the pasta with the chicken skewer - that is what I will get next time, it was SO good!! Our table neighbors ordered dessert, and we watched the bananas fosters prepared at the table, and we all insisted we must get it. we ordered 2 tiramisus, and 2 bananas foster, it was like dinner and a show. Frankie prepare it perfectly. I took some of the ice cream and put it in my post dinner coffee like an affogato and it was divine. Overall, an expensive, but very hearty dinner with great service.

Walking into Pasta Amore, I was taken back to the scene where Tessio in The Godfather is talking about the restaurant that Michael is set to "take out" McCluskey and Sollozo. "A small family place, good food. Everyone minds his business. It's perfect." Honestly, need I say more?!? But I will. Our service was sincerely incredible. Mike took great care of us and recommended great dishes. The bread is a must before the meal. But the entrees were just as good. I ate the traditional carbonara. Very good. Be prepared that pasta is homemade so al dente is typically how it is cooked. Some might prefer it to be cooked longer.

We were lucky to dine in. It was Valentines Eve and they were booked. However, there were two small tables in the small bar area or seats at the bar. We chose a small table with a bench and it was perfect. Only two of us so we fit in the space perfectly and it felt cozy and warm - I actually liked sitting there! The bread and salad was served first. The bread was very good, different than any other, it wasn't just "bread", kind of crispy on the edges. The salad was good too. We both had pasta Alfredo. He had with shrimp, they were big. I had with steak bites and there was a lot of meat perfectly cooked/grilled! The steak tasted like a summer day of grilling! The bar tender was busy but took good care of us. Took desert to go, Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake!!! Delicious!

Finally made it to pasta amore and had a great meal. The chicken Parmesan was delicious and I appreciated how every meal came with a soup or salad, specially for the cold weather. If you are going here, you need a reservation, I had a reservation and still had to wait for my table and was put in a very uncomfortable table, which was next to were everyone was waiting for their tables. The service was great and super fast. I will definitely be coming back and ensure I get a better table next time to have a better experience.

Everything was fine. Food was meh. Nothing stood out or was worth talking about. Ravioli was undercooked. Generally an awkward experience. Maybe would have been better if we ordered wine . We've been here before and had a great experience, so it felt a little off. They used to have more exciting vegetarian options as well.

Food was delicious. Service was friendly and quite fast for how busy the restaurant was. We also went on Valentine's Day the ambience of the restaurant was splendid. Highly recommend for all Italian food lovers. Ps: they have a good espresso martini.

Our new favorite restaurant in Omaha! Everything was absolutely incredible. Highly recommend the Bellybutton Soup! We had the Donatello with a Brunello di Montalcino and it was a better experience than we have had in places like Vegas, New York or San Diego. 10/10 the service was extremely good as well.

My visit was different than the regular dining experience.We reserved the party room for a milestone birthday celebration.There was plenty to like. Everybody raved about the food. I went basic with a bowl of spaghetti and meatballs, which was served hot and steaming. Just how I like it.Service went above and beyond. We were a semi-large party with a wide variety of opinions. The staff was super patient - especially with one of us who decided she needed to be difficult.We had a few challenges.The party room was nice, but it was too small for our party of sixteen. I'm not going to blame the restaurant. The person who planned the dinner should have done more research before reserving the space.The party room was also in the path between the kitchen and regular dining room. Staff was in and out all night. They were polite, but they were also an interruption.I would return to dine in the regular dining room based on the quality of my meal.I would recommend doing your due diligence if you're planning a special event in the party room.

The food was unbelievable and unique. I took my wife here as a Valentine's Day date, and we were thrilled with how delicious this place was. The staff was on top of everything, and made sure to check on us regularly. We will absolutely be back!
