I always just love Luigi's. It's a no frills, but delicious and cost effective italian place, and I love that. Everything I've ever had from here had always been so delicious. I love the lobster ravioli and the chef's special. The tiramisu is always so dang good. No matter how stuffed I am, i'll always get some. read more

When in the area I love to stop for a to-go of tiramisu!!! They have the best ever! I have tried tiramisu at a few restaurants around Omaha and believe me - Luigi's has a top notch recipe for tiramisu. Stop by next time you're close, you will not regret it! read more

We heard a lot of good things about Luigi's but we live about as far away as possible while still living in the metro. We found ourselves south of Bellevue so we decided to give it a try! It was a Saturday night and the place was crowded. So, we had to wait and have friendly conversations with others waiting too. The staff was busy trying to turn tables over as much as they can without trying to hurry the dining customers. Alas, we were seated. They have a pretty expansive menu. I have to order the "pasta sampler" when I see it on an Italian menu. That was the case this time. The sampler is a combination of lasagna, manicotti, and cheese ravioli served with marinara and topped with shredded cheese. When it arrived, it was hard to decipher one from another because it was all buried under yummy tomato marinara and cheese. It was pretty good, not the best I have ever had, but pretty good. Next time, I will stick with the marinara sauce but try another dish. We also ordered a side salad which was about as average as you can get. The iceberg lettuce was fresh, so no issue there. The house Italian dressing did not seem like anything special to either one of us. My dining partner ordered Spaghetti Works which has sauteed meatballs, meat sauce, Italian sausage, mushrooms, and marinara sauce served with capellini pasta. It's always fun to try sausage at various restaurants. They do a good job here. The rest of the dish was delish! The menu describes Luigi's as proud to be family owned. The family came from Italy and provides old world family recipes. Everything is made from scratch. While we were pleased with Luigi's, it's not a restaurant that would motivate us to drive across the city to visit. The people who live in the area are fortunate to have Luigi's. It's definitely worth a try. read more

Absolutely Fabulous Italian Food! OMG!!! The food at Luigi's Italian Restaurant was simply fabulous and soooo delicious! My husband and I were visiting Omaha, Nebraska, and a friend who eaten here many times recommended Luigi's to us. It was our last day in Omaha, and what a wonderful way to end our trip! The restaurant itself isn't anything fancy, but it was peaceful and quaint inside, which made for a nice dining experience. Our waitress, Ava, was absolutely adorable! She was sweet, attentive, and came by our table to make sure everything was going well. I had the Capellini Pizzaiola, and my husband had the Veal Marsala. Both were excellent! My meal was so delicious that I had to get a go-box and took the leftovers home. I enjoyed them just as much the next day! Overall, we had a GREAT experience. This is honestly one of the BEST Italian restaurants I have ever eaten at-and I'm Italian and have eaten at MANY Italian restaurants! To anyone reading this: GO TO LUIGI'S! You will NOT be disappointed ! The food is absolutely delicious, and the service is wonderful! Thank you Ava, for making our visit even more enjoyable! (23 July 26) read more

I won a gift card and cane I to redeem it and was greeted with a very warm welcome by BEN...and a "How you doing" Very nice ambiance..dim lights..lots of wine options! This is the wonderful community of Bellevue! read more

Great food, great prices, great service! Did I mention the great food? The dinner rolls were delicious. Caesar salad is huge and it was enough for 3 people. That was some of the best Caesar salad dressing I have ever tasted. I had the fettuccine carbonara, but we also had the seafood damianca (sp) meatballs, and fried calamari. All of them were chef's kiss! read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for like 20 years. I finally went and was sadly displeased. I had a shrimp pasta with vodka sauce. I quite liked the sauce but the shrimp had their tails. So I had to peel shrimp with a piping hot pasta sauce on it. Horrible. Moreover, my wife liked her meal well enough, but the next morning was absolutely hurling chunks. Can't be certain it was Luigi's I guess but she's never sick, and no viruses or anything we're going around. None of the food we recently shared made anybody else sick. She's convinced it was Luigi. read more

I simply cannot understand the glowing reviews this restaurant receives. The only star I'm awarding it is thanks to the waitress, who was very kind. Upon entering, you are greeted by a strong smell of restroom--I couldn't tell if it was a cleaning product or just a poorly cleaned toilet. Adding to this were the Christmas decorations (in the middle of July!), the worn-out, tacky décor, and plastic-covered tablecloths, all of which made a terrible impression. The *Godfather* soundtrack was blasting at full volume, trying desperately to convince you that this was an Italian restaurant. My husband ordered *capellini alla pizzaiola*, and I had the cheese ravioli. The presentation was pitiful. My dish consisted of a runny white sauce--more like soup--with ravioli swimming in it; the dish was bland, unseasoned (it even lacked salt), and completely devoid of flavor or character. The ravioli could easily have been frozen, and the sauce straight out of a can. My husband's dish was a shapeless mass; you couldn't distinguish one ingredient from another. It looked unappetizing, though it tasted better to him than mine did; he added salt and hot sauce he'd brought with him, yet he still said he'd only give it two stars. Finally, I asked if the *cannoli* were homemade, and the waitress replied, "Sort of." When I asked for details, she explained that they received the shells and the cream separately and simply assembled them for the customer. Naturally, I didn't order them. We will not return to this restaurant, nor will we recommend it. read more

Outstanding!! Food came out hot, fresh and amazing! I ordered the shrimp and lobster ravioli. I will definitely be back. Some of the best I've had. read more

This is hands down the best Italian food I have had in the four years I have lived in this state. I would drive over an hour to San Francisco when I live in California for the most authentic Italian food I could find, and I have been so disappointed until I found this place- it literally tastes like home. The owner and staff are so beautiful and kind and let me babble on and on when I come in. I tell everyone how amazing the food and people are, from the bread to the sauce and OMG the tiramisu is the best, hands down! I can't sing their praises enough! read more

I found myself in the neighborhood of Old Town Bellevue, which is rare, and had semi-spur-of-the-moment delightful Sunday lunch at Luigi's. Linguine and clams, very lemony but that's OK with me, delicious. Other than rolls (which were very good) it was ala carte, so I didn't sample anything else. Service was excellent. If it were closer it could be a staple, but even so I will make it back. read more

Their Italian food is tasty but nothing to write home about- really is no great Italian restaurant in Bellevue or Omaha. Luigis is top shelf though for the area. A bit pricey, but what isn't nowadays. Definitely worth at least trying once. Cozy atmosphere. Wish it was less expensive is all ...think I will open my own Italian restaurant. I am quite the chef ahem. read more

This place and their recipes are spectacular!! This is a hidden gem!! You are missing out if you don't experience this restaurant!! Service is always 5 star and the ambiance is 4 star and the food is 5+ stars read more

Started destroying this Chicken Marsala before I could get a proper picture. Great little hidden gem with fast service. Had never heard of it and happened to be in the area. I'll be sure to come back. Thanks. read more

Just your casual local Italian joint. I'd choose it over Olive Garden. Not your "nice date night" out but it is tasty. The cream pastas with seafood are going to me more flavorful in my opinion read more

Bellevue has 2 of the best Italian restaurants in the metro area. Luigi's is great food. Service was great. Ambiance does not meet some of Omaha's upscale Italian restaurants but what does that matter when you have such great food. read more

6 years later I came with a different crowd. the margarita had a nice shot of amaretto but just like everywhere else, they cut back on the alcohol. Dad had the shrimp scampi- about 7 decent size shrimp, and he ate pretty much all of it. I had the sampler- lasagna in the middle with 1 ravioli on one side and half of a manicotti on the other. With a salad and complimentary rolls , we did have enough leftovers for tomorrow. My brother had spaghetti works and got one small meatball but plenty of Italian sausage. My SIL had sausage parmigiana, I believe. Love the murals on the walls with the led lighting. The service was prompt, accurate and plenty of follow up read more

After seeing this restaurant advertising in the Bellevue Little Theatre program, we thought we'd try them. We were told it was a 15 to 20 minute wait. 3 groups, who came after us, were seated. It was now a 25 minute wait. We left and got a $7 meal deal at Dairy Queen. read more

Really great Italian food. So many good options. really nice vibe on the inside, and always had great service, even with large groups. The salad is super refreshing. Would also recommend the manicotti, lobster ravioli, garlic bread, and really any of the seafood. Sparkling limoncello was amazing. I love supporting a small business, have even had this place cater before. read more

Upon walking in, I was a bit surprised to see no one else in the restaurant as this place has such a good reputation. I got the capellini pizzaiola for takeout. It was solid but not quite worthy of 5 stars. I do think some of their offerings may have more promise. The sausage that it came with was very good, and to be honest the bread was maybe the best part lol. The noodle to sausage and cheese ratio was maybe a bit too weighted towards the noodles, it's basically a mound of noodles with just a surface layer of cheese, marina, and sausage. read more

Wonderful little place! Beautifully decorated, friendly service, and the food came fast too! They were happy to give us as much bread for the table as we wanted, and it was delicious, not like that lame Olive Garden bread. My chicken piccata was so tasty, and so much food. I had enough to leave for lunch AND leftovers for dinner. Great spot, I'll be back for more! read more

Luigi's Italian Restaurant - Chicken piccata - Italian Near Me - Bellevue, Nebraska

it had been a while since I was at the restaurant and decided to go there for lunch today, and we were sadly disappointed. Portion size has decreased a little, prices have gone up, the service was bad (my son actually had to get up and ask one of the servers for our bill), and my daughter's lasagna was cold in the middle. I definitely won't be back. you people need to honest about how this restaurant has declined over the years read more

Luigi's chicken penne alla vodka is to die for! Will definitely be back for this! From the creams sauce to the amazing taste of seasoned chicken, simply great! read more

Visited this place late afternoon on a Friday and there was a crowd waiting to get seated. That's normally a good sign when folks are willing to wait 20-30 mins to get a table. A lot of the local crowd really like this place. Situated in Olde Towne Bellevue, They have a very typical Italian menu. Just don't order the cioppino dish and expect a traditional seafood stew, because its NOT. It's more like an alfredo sauce mixed with some marinara. Overall, the food is good and great option for dining if in the Bellevue area. read more

Luigi's is my to go for Italian food now, it's out of my way but it is so worth it! Can't go wrong with the tour if you want to try a bit of everything. My wife loves the chicken Alfredo, portions are great as well! Simple decor but with food like this, you don't need anything crazy! Service is good most of the time, they are attentive and will answer questions. read more

Amazing Italian cuisine. What a dining experience! Portions are very generous! The staff is very attentive.

This place was nice! I loved the dim lighting paired with the string lights. I tried the cheese ravioli and it was good - can't really mess that dish up! The free bread was delicious as well. Also tried the fried ravioli and it was my favorite thing of the night. Only lost a star because a side of alfredo sauce was $5 - so somethings are a little pricey. Typical for a night out with good food. read more

This is my favorite Italian restaurant anywhere! The food cannot be beat! If you let their red sauce linger on your tongue, you will taste the depth of flavor just keeps on going. It's to die for! Service is very good, and the ambiance feels almost like a local favorite, which it is! We have recently moved from the area and have not found anything to beat our old favorite, Luigi"s! We miss you!!! read more

The wait kinda sucked, but it was definitely worth it!!! The food is AMAZING!!!!! Best Italian food I have ever had!

I am still in love with Luigi's! Their chicken piccata still has me singing like a happy fat Italian Gigi! I am not normally a red sauce gal except for lasagna or eggplant parm, but I had been smelling it all day! So I went I. For my Piccata and was going to dip garlic bread in their sauce, which so so good! THEY WERE OUT OF GARLIC BREAD! What? You are in a town with Rotellas! How can you be out? Send someone up to the outlet and grab it! Lol. Anyhoo, I digress! I ordered the mozzarella slab I. Sauce from the appetizer menu. Oh. dear. lord! Thank you for taste buds, Jesus!! This stuff is phenomenal! I ended up eating it and taking the piccata home for my man to eat! It is an unassuming place and VERY DIFFICULT for a scooter to get into. But go try it! They don't disappoint! (Unlike me wi no photo to share!) read more

This place, wow, always! It is always busy so expect a wait because they don't take reservations! But we waited 45 minutes to sit and we would have waited longer. The food and service NEVER disappoints. Bread always served with the meal, coca-Cola and nice alcohol choices. My only complaint is they need to make the place bigger haha! We will never stop coming here! read more

Service. Was good, food was avg. or less. I ordered the veal parmigiana and it was very tough pasta was good. One of my guest ordered the tour of Italy and said it was good but came out of the kitchen medium warm. All in all not a great experience. read more

This LOVELY Italian restaurant is a hidden gem in Old Town Bellevue. I have been here twice and each time I have ordered the Pasta Sampler because it's so very good! The Pasta Sampler has lasagna, cheese ravioli and manicotti covered with a marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese and then baked. The sauce is very rich and flavorful. It was a little salty but I didn't mind because the sauce has a sweet taste to it. I LOVE their sauce. I can't wait to try the spaghetti and meatballs! They also have fresh baked rolls, served with real butter and they are delicious! I got a simple salad and it was very fresh with crispy lettuce, onions, pepperoncini, & tomatoes. For dessert I have a limoncello cake. Oh, wow...it was superb! This place is AMAZING and wonderfully authentic! I've always wanted to be Italian and I would love to be adopted by this family! read more

I have been here a couple of times and each time it's just average. Nothing terrible special about the food or drinks. We had the chicken Alfredo, meat ravioli and the chicken and shrimp special. I'd say there was way too much pasta in the chicken and shrimp but you did get a lot of protein. The bread was good and warm. The service was good though there were a lot of servers for the few customers in there. I would go back knowing I'll get average quality Italian. read more

Best pasta I have ever had would highly recommend this restaurant. Service and ambience was amazing

What an unsuspecting gem! Luigi's is a little tucked away in a shopping center. The decor is more dining hall than fine dining with plastic table clothes and a big wide open room, but the food was impeccable. Eggplant parmigiana and shrimp in vodka sauce were both excellent. The servers were attentive and friendly. Can't wait to come back here and try more of the menu. read more
