Via Farina was serving pizza that night, and I was excited to see my favorite, the Fratello, on the menu. The pizza came out quickly and was just as delicious as always. When we arrived, the place was completely full, so we were added to the waitlist. Even though there was a wait, the hostess was incredibly friendly and made the experience much better. I didn't catch her name, but she recommended several nearby spots where we could grab a drink while we waited. Our table ended up being ready sooner than expected, which was a nice surprise. The live music was fantastic and really added to the atmosphere. The bar was well organized with only a short wait, even with the crowd. The cocktails were fine, but they didn't stand out as much as the rest of the experience. Overall, this is a beautiful place for a date night, especially if you enjoy live music, great pizza, and a fun atmosphere. We'll definitely be back.

I would have liked to know about the cover before, as this is a "speak easy" vibe so I don't see a lot of promo or content about their events. The drinks are a bit expensive, $6-16 depending what you order. My friend got a margarita and the menu said $13 but it rang up as $16, so that was a bit confusing. Depending on the time you go the seating can be difficult due to the sun setting and it being warmer there was a lot of seats open right in front of the band but it was INSUFFERABLY hot in those spots so we sat in the back. The bussers were great at clearing empty drink cups out of the way. I think it's a very cute space but a bit pricey, it's very fun for a more semi formal date as many people dress nicer for this space.

Because I am a woman in my mid forties, I HAD to try one of their specials aptly named "Hello Kitty"; but make her hot! I do love a strong hazelnut flavor to my lattes and this gal didn't disappoint. Very smooth, zero irritation on the stomach, with a smidge of a caramel kick at the end. Requested oat milk out of preference - or maybe habit? - but she was wonderful. I had my eyes on a few of those cupcakes in their display case and never mind those breakfast sammies listed on their menu... next time, next time... Can we talk about their study rooms for a minute?! Where was this when I was deep in the studies?! Perfect place for a small gathering of sorts, especially in their $20/hr conference room.

If urban coffee shops filled with art from local artists, big plush comfy couches, lived in comfy chairs, or just dig the vibe of a downtown coffee shop, try them!

Most recently, I was there for a career development and networking event, and it was the perfect setting--creative, vibrant, and welcoming. The owners go above and beyond. They not only allow you to bring in your own food and beverages (a huge plus!) but they also stick around during the event to make sure everything runs smoothly and you have what you need. That kind of support really sets them apart. The space itself is absolutely stunning--full of bold color and personality, but also super versatile. There are a variety of photography backdrops that make it easy to create professional content or just capture fun moments with friends. Whether it's a business gathering, creative workshop, or social celebration, Luli Creative House is a gem in Omaha for hosting something truly memorable.

With plenty of seating from the gorgeous green couch, to the white sofa, to sitting chairs, and tables, this is a space sure to spark creativity. It's a great venue to book for really any occasion. From birthdays, to showers, rehearsals, or photo shoots, Luli has really created a space for everyone.

It was all very updated, very bright inside, lots of seating I felt for the smaller space, tables, couches, seats at the bar, etc for both bigger and smaller groups! Bathrooms were clean and upkept!

Mary was absolutely fantastic. She was responsive, more than helpful, and genuinely invested in making sure we had the perfect wedding day. She worked closely with our caterer and helped with so much behind the scenes, including the setup, logistics, and bar service.

They had a full bar and very decent drink prices. I would definitely rent out this venue if I needed a space in the future.
