The Palazzo

This is a really lovely, brand new facility which serves as home to the American Italian Heritage Society (AIHS). It's an easy to access location in northwest Omaha at 132nd & Fort and has a large parking lot. The venue is available to book for events such as weddings, family reuinions, corporate conferences, etc. According to their website they have a large and a small banquet room which together can accomodate 525-600 people. I had opportunity to visit at the recent Festa Italiana which the AIHS hosts every year as their major fundraiser. It was spacious, clean, modern, attractive and I really appreciated the large, clean women's restrooms. I did not see the kitchen but I've heard from a good source (one of the members of the AIHS) that's it's wonderful and since they used it to cook all that food for the Festa, they would know!

This is the fifth year that we've held our non-profit dinner/fund raiser @ Il Palazzo. The space is amazing. We can easily seat 350-400 guests. The staff is so accommodating and their guest services are off the charts. Anything we've needed, they found a way to help us. We love Il Palazzo! Can't imagine having our events anywhere else. Il Palazzo...it's not just for weddings anymore!

Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, shame on me. Fool me thrice, I need to get checked.I really wanted to like their lunch buffet. The building itself is clean and has a neat design and look both inside and out. I could see why this ranks highly as a venue. The lunch buffet is fairly popular and seems to have a regular crowd. They serve Italian and American fare for the same price as Golden Corral. The ingredients seemed decent, the food looks good, but the taste. Oh the taste! Where have you gone!The service is OK, though me and my buddies had weird experiences with one of their bus boys (not really a boy, more like a 60 year man). It was off-putting to say the least.It gets a big, fat Meh from me, at least for the lunch buffet.

As a photographer, working with il Palazzo went incredibly smoothly. The lighting was just perfect (and when an area was a tad too dark they adjusted). The space was open, and even the outside worked great for photos. Parking was awesome, and the coordinators were very friendly!

This is an excellent new venue for La Festa. The building is beautiful and offers a ton of space to move about inside and out. I suspect it will be one of the better halls to rent for a wedding or other special event.

I don't even know where to begin...not only was the venue fantastic and gorgeous, but Missy the coordinator way FANTASTIC! She bent over backwards for us from the beginning. She had many meetings with us to help us feel assured that our day would run seamlessly. There were some mix-ups that were due to miscommunications, but Missy went above and beyond to fix them and was super accommodating. She abides by her word and will do anything to make your day the best ever. A coordinator can be really pricy, but at the Palazzo it's all included! From the beginning I was so excited to have our wedding at the Palazzo and I would do it all over again! Our guests ranted and raved about how BEAUTIFUL the venue was...and secrets out...it was so REASONABLY priced for all that you get! Look at it...I promise you will not be disappointed!

One star because I cannot give them zero. Use this facility only if you want to ruin your wedding reception. We had 300 guests and this place only had two kegs of beer. They were half full to boot. After forty five minutes they ran out of beer (go figure). They not only wouldn't go out for more beer they wouldn't let us buy a keg for them. On top of that they added security to the doors because they were afraid we were going to sneak some in. Crazy right? Obviously do not recommend this place for any type of celebration.
