    Braised Beef
    Irfan H.

    Dining out with a 3-month-old and a 2-year-old can be stressful, but Dante made it feel effortless. Jen greeted us and quickly got us seated, graciously accommodating our oversized stroller without making us feel like we were in the way. That first impression matters. Our server Paul was a true professional. The best way I can describe him is that he represents what hospitality should be. Attentive without hovering, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a great experience. His wine recommendation of a Barbera d'Asti with the braised beef completely surprised me in the best way. What really impressed me was Jen checking back in after seating us to help get our toddler's order in quickly. She read the situation perfectly while we were managing both kids. That awareness is what separates good service from great service. Highlights from dinner: Squid ink tagliarini with crab (fantastic depth of flavor) Braised beef (comforting and refined at the same time) Pizza that made our 2-year-old very happy Excellent wine guidance from Paul The service honestly reminded me of Michelin experiences I've had -- not because of formality, but because of how intentional and thoughtful everything felt. This was hands down one of the best restaurant experiences I've had in Omaha.

    We had takeout from this restaurant, and I had the carbonara pasta and the ricotta dip appetizer. I enjoyed the al dente pasta and the crispy meat in the carbonara. The ricotta dip came with honey comb and jam, and it was delicious when paired with the bread. Food was a bit a pricey, but overall good.

    Came here for a business dinner and was thoroughly impressed! I had an old fashioned for my adult beverage, I shared a mushroom pizza and brussel sprouts with my co worker and everything was Amazing! The drink was made perfectly, the peppers on the pizza gave it a tad bit of spice, they had a nice amount of mushrooms and the sauce on the pizza was flavorful. The brussel sprouts were cooked perfectly, had a little bit of saltiness and crispness. I will definitely be coming back here when I visit for work, it was worth the drive!

    My husband and I visited Dante for Valentine's Day, and it was a great special occasion spot. The pizza definitely was the star of the show because of that crust!! I also really enjoyed the gelato flight. While the meatballs were delicious, I wish they were served with some kind of bread. Overall, we had a great Valentine's date. I will most definitely be back soon to check out their happy hour!

    I went to Dante following a retirement party with two friends. It had been quite some time since I had been there and I thought it was time for a visit! Unfortunately, our service was very slow at first. As the restaurant began to clear out, our server did a better job at getting to us. For a drink, I ended up ordering a Cosmo, which quite honestly was one of the best I've ever had, so hats off to the bartender there! For our group of three, we ordered Brussel sprouts for our appetizer and two pizzas. The sprouts had decent flavor. Our pizzas (Margherita and Polpette) were unfortunately extremely soggy in the middle and couldn't be eaten as a handheld The flavors were decent, but the texture really brought things down. We ordered two desserts to share and they very kindly gifted one to us as we were celebrating a birthday! I would still love to give Dante another try in the future. I hope we don't have the same issues.

    Still one of our favorite spots in Omaha. The staff is so welcoming and the food is superb. It's a cozy oasis serving up a taste of Italy. They are the only restaurant locally that sells authentic Neapolitan pizza cooked in a wood fired oven. For lunch, I had the Flatbread & Greens (your choice of salad) for $15 - quite a deal! I added Giuseppe toppings for $2 extra. We shared the meatball dish served over a cheesy polenta - delish!

    Traveled to Omaha so I was looking for good eats. Dante came highly recommended and did not disappoint. I went during the happy hour so I could order a couple of things at half price. I was greeted promptly and the server was quick. I was there at 3pm so it was quiet but not dead. I ordered a Margherita pizza and a bucatini carbonara. The pizza was good but the carbonara was a standout! To finish my meal I ordered the raved about butterscotch budino. It was, as the kids say, bussin'! So. Freaking. Delicious.

    The best meal I've had in a long time! Dante's food was sooooo good--l'd never been. Spicy meatballs and creamy polenta, buttery scallops with risotto, tender steak with a balsamic risotto, Alborosie pizza and a good red wine. Service was good and environment was upscale but casual. Definitely a Dante fan now.

    Loved our meal here! Service was kind, quick, and accommodating. We did family style for 5 people and got 2 pizzas, a bolognese, carbonara, and the linguini. All were so delicious! The environment was also fun and lively. I was looking for a good Italian place and this will definitely be in the rotation!

    Tried this place out for my birthday and it did not disappoint. The food was wonderful, the drinks were delicious, and the service was top notch. Our waitress Rochelle was amazing and made me feel special on my big day. We will definitely be back.

    Shout out to the Dante staff who helped me with a surprise mocktail order for my table. It went perfectly executed and we had a wonderful experience. Food was fantastic as always.

    Best charcuterie in Omaha!

    Dante is one of my fav places for true Italian in Omaha. I would say Avoli ties with Dante as my fav Italian spots! Dante has a great ambiance but doesn't feel too fancy to bring the kids too. Great pizzas, pastas, apps, cocktails, and dessert. What more could you ask for? Whenever we come here we def have all the courses and leave stuffed but with no regrets.

    This place honestly is overpriced. The food is decent but they all have a unique spin, but maybe doing too much.

    Worst food ever! The chicken was so salty I couldn't eat it. The derive was top notch. Too bad the food wasn't as good as the wait staff.

    Benihana as a business was bought out by the company who owns Kona Grill. So do we have a Benihana…read morein Omaha? No. It exists as only a "ghost kitchen" (pickup and delivery only) inside Kona Grill. We figured, hey maybe it's as good as the actual Benihana we've had while traveling, so we ordered it via GrubHub. But no - that hope for it to be as good was not the case. Especially for the price, which I'll get into. We ordered the hibachi chicken fried rice, onion soup, and chicken gyoza. It was $52 after tip. When I tell you the chicken fried rice was a child size...you have to see the pic to believe me. It was also dry as all get out. It was literally just like the fried rice you get on the side for free at Chinese restaurants usually, but with some dry bits of flavorless chicken. Luckily I had soy sauce and yum yum sauce at home to partially save it. The onion soup was $8 and it came in what is normally the size of a side of SAUCE anywhere else - super tiny. And it was about 90% onions, not really a "soup" at all. The chicken gyoza was pretty good, but for $14, I expect more than 5 little gyozas. It also didn't come with enough dipping sauce so I also had to use sauce I had at home. The fact that I had to "fix" two of the three items is not a cool look at all. I did like that they had Benihana packaging though, as most ghost kitchen type places just use plain brandless packaging or the brand of the restaurant they reside in. The packaging though did not save this meal, especially because the food wasn't great at all and the price was astronomical - I recommend you skip this one.
