Feb 13th reservation was hectic! Fun backdrop outside when waiting and was able to get photos sent to my phone. Seating was out of order when we overheard someone at a later reservation get seated before us. But then were seated after we told them we waited for a while. Soup was so creamy and delicious and I loveeeeee the bread!!!! It was a cute place and lots of seating for 2 or 4 people not a lot of large groups. read more

Dinner with a group. The service was excellent! She was attentive and quick to fulfill requests. The limoncellotini was delicious. I got the fettuccine Alfredo which was under seasoned and rather bland. Even the Parmesan on top didn't seem to add flavor. (I was afraid it was my palette but others at the table thought their Alfredo was bland, too.) The bread was soft but also fairly flavorless. Overall, excellent service. A fantastic cocktail. Bland food. read more

Our most recent visit here was SO good. We sat out on the patio on a beautiful night, which has great ambiance, especially with the sounds of the water fountain. I had the Roman Carbonara...wow. This was delicious. This has to be my favorite carbonara that I've had outside of Italy. My husband is a creature of habit and ordered the pasta sampler again, which he said was great. read more

I came here for a work party with my team of about 20 people. This was such a fun spot for it, and very classy! We had a great time, and really enjoyed the privacy of the back room here. We started with some appetizers-- several people thought this was the full meal, since there was so much food! Everything was delicious. We had our own bartender in a small bar within this private room, which was such a nice touch! Especially with a group that drinks a lot like ours. The espresso martini I had was fantastic! They poured the drinks strong too. The entrées were good, the lemon cream, shrimp pasta I got, unfortunately, was not my favorite. But all of the dishes, I sampled were amazing. This just wasn't my cup of tea! If I come back, I will get a more traditional pasta, as I enjoyed those better. Overall, an amazing experience! I highly intend to come back! read more

I ordered the most in edible Parmesan chicken. It was all soggy breading with a very thin layer of chicken breast. Honestly, I can eat almost anything, but this I could not eat and of course the spaghetti underneath was boring flavorless.. even my drink tasted bad and it's pretty hard to mess up a soft drink, but they did! read more

Has been many years since we were here. Was really just looking for a good meatless marinara sauce, and theirs sounded good on the menu! The service was great for a busy Friday night. Started with the fried ravioli. Definitely never had fried ravioli like this. Was not really breaded just somehow had a crispy ravioli shell around the cheese which I actually enjoyed. Loved their house Italian salad dressing on my salad. I ordered the basic marinara sauce with spaghetti. Marinara did not taste anything as I was expecting. Was fairly bland and could not taste any garlic. Almost had a taste to it That reminded me of a certain popular canned spaghetti. Strange. My dining partner had the Gnocchi with bacon cream sauce. Was not the sauce she was anticipating either. But she said it was OK. As was mine. Was really excited to have the tableside banana fosters as this is my all-time favorite dessert in the world and it's rare to find it anymore. It was fun to watch him prepare it although that's not necessary. I don't even care if it's made in the kitchen and then brought out to me! Good amount of ratio of bananas to sauce. While it had a good taste the downfall is it became gummy rather quickly once poured on the ice cream. The sauce became quite chewy. Didn't stop me from eating more than I thought that I would! Just don't think I would order it there again. Ambience was nice a bit loud, but that didn't really bother me. Again great service. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

It's a very small, intimate restaurant. There was a lot of congestion getting in the door and to the hostess stand which felt very awkward. Our waiter was nice enough, it took a little longer than I'd expect to order our first round of drinks and apps. The bruschetta was amazing! The old fashioned was good, but a little sweet for my liking. The pasta that accompanied the shrimp scampi was super bland. There were also a side of vegetable with this, which were just coated in oil, ugh... wouldn't recommend. My friend ordered the pasta with white sauce and it was the weirdest thing, it was sweet? She could barely eat it. Expensive and disappointing overall. I won't be back. read more

Ive loved it every time, best veal Marsala Ive ever had. Wonderful restaurant. Great staff.

Pretty good Italian staying true to Leo's recipes. My wife is always ther for the calimari steak. I'm there for veal parmisan or the Italian prime rib. read more

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. read more

Food was mediocre - all of our entrees. Atmosphere was very nice however. Service was good.

The ambiance was good! When we first walked in, we were seated immediately (for two people). That's not bad for a Saturday night. My only complaint for the atmosphere is that it smells... very heavily of cheese. Our server came around and got us situated. We wanted to try something new and fancy without spending an arm and a leg; they had options for us! We shared bread on the house, which was a great surprise. We could tell it was handmade, and the butter was plentiful. We then got our ravioli frito (fried ravioli), which was okay for an appetizer, but a bit dry and chewy. Since we ordered entrees, we got a soup or salad. We then had the belly button soup, which was great, but the belly buttons were mid. It tasted a bit like au jus, made with fresh beef broth. If you decide to get a Caesar salad, note that it's an actual Caesar salad with freshly made dressing-- thus, there's an up charge for that if you decide to get that as your entree side. I received my alfio dish; everything was great, except the chicken. It was really dry. I would expect better for the price I paid for it. Our server also did the bare minimum of checking in on us. When I had told our server about the dry chicken, she noted it and apologized, but that's it. My friend received her Calamari steak, which was excellent! It was perfectly cooked and larger than we thought the 4 oz pieces would be. Overall, this restaurant was okay; it was a good dining experience, but the food did not meet my expectations and was dry. I think if you're willing to pay for seafood, the food might be more worth the cost and experience. read more

Lovers of pasta should enjoy Pasta Amore, as pasta is part of their name. The pasta menu is extensive and there are often seasonal or daily specials. The seafood pasta dishes are particular standouts in my opinion. Dine indoors in one of their attractive dining rooms, or outdoors on their covered patio. Service is friendly. The wine list is pretty decent. Free parking abounds. read more

This was our first time here and the whole experience was amazing!! We sat outside where it's very roomy. The food was delicious! Especially the lasagna, bread and soup the broth was amazing! We also had the tiramisu which was super moist and flavorful. On our way out the chef was kind and let us sample the pumpkin lasagna. Overall really amazing place! And super friendly staff! read more

The chicken parmigiana was the best I've ever had. Everything was homemade and fresh. The music, atmosphere, and servers were all exactly what you would want at an Italian restaurant. My wife ordered rigatoni with vodka sauce and it was also perfection. My new favorite Italian restaurant in Omaha & we will be returning frequently. read more

I was craving some Osso Buco and a nice glass of Chianti. it was fantastic. The service was very good. The ambience is upper scale Italian, intimate without being snooty. There were families, couples, and business associates. I came with a teenage granddaughter and her parents who all were pleased with their meals (chicken, parmigiana, ravioli, lasagna, minestrone, soup, and salad. I would definitely go back again. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I can't review the food or the wait service or anything else to do with this establishment, because I couldn't get past the hostess desk. I took a party of 3 in, and the hostess told me that it was " reservation only " , and that there was a dress code. No jeans, and button up shirt only. I on the other hand was wearing jeans, a ball cap and a hoodie. She said she couldn't seat us. So we left. I will go back , from what I saw the food looked pretty good. read more

We had the absolute best time here last night! We hadn't been here in many years, and so much had changed. All for the better! The ambience was immediately right. It felt like the perfect blend of lovely and cozy, bustling yet intimate. And then the service - so nice! Robyn and Katherine in particular were wonderful. Robyn's wine recommendations and Katherine's food recommendations combined to create a top-shelf experience from start to finish. We particularly enjoyed the Linguine Amore, which is bursting with seafood and spice. So flavorful. And the tableside bananas foster is worth the trip all by itself. On arrival we were merely curious if Pasta Amore was worth considering. On departure we felt like valued regulars who had just had another great meal at their traditional date night go-to. Well done, Pasta Amore. read more

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. read more

Went for a nice Friday night dinner with 3 others. Great vibes, food, drinks, and service. Will 100% come again.

I ordered takeout and someone else picked it up, so I can't speak to the service or the restaurant itself. I ordered the baked beef ravioli with Bolognese sauce, my dinner partner had chicken Alfredo and we ordered the spinach artichoke dip to share. He really enjoyed the Alfredo and we both really liked the spinach artichoke dip. But my ravioli tasted good on the first bite, but after the 3rd bite I couldn't eat anymore. It was soooo very salty. I put it away and tried to eat it again today with an egg with no salt, hoping it would help, it didn't. Heck the egg tasted salty and I purposely didn't salt it. So I ended up tossing the whole dish, I had eaten very little of it. Maybe it was a bad batch and no one tasted it before they served it, which is a huge chef no no. I may go back for the dip, but I'm not interested in the other entrees since they don't taste before they serve. read more

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. read more

Well -- this place was my favorite restaurant in Omaha for a while. It was so good that I made six visits in a very short period of time The brandy chicken was so amazing on some nights that I told the staff that if I ever committed a crime and was forced to choose a last meal before execution, this would be the meal. The service is always great and the atmosphere seems festive. The wine is decent and it is a fun place to go. The problem is that the original owner, who was from Italy, sold the place in early 2021. That's when the food started to suffer. The new owner is also the person that owns Timber. If you have ever been to Timber you know that sometimes the menu seems to outpace the execution. Timber never seems to live up to the promise. Now Amore seems to be sliding into that same arena. It's worth going ...just know that you may never have the same meal twice -- even if you order the same entrée. read more

Food was good! Service was 10/10, I believe our waitresses name was Kaitlin, she was on top of it all! Drinks, when was a good time to order & checking in on us. Parking lot for parking.

This was our first visit to Pasta Amore. After hearing from others about it we were expecting an outstanding place to eat. Our hopes were not met. Average would be our rating for the evening experience on a Saturday night in December. Our server, David was good. He established rapport quickly, was well versed in the menu, and was attentive throughout the evening. A highlight was the quality of the Negroni and the wine. We chose a Gattinara Riserva 2019 from Travaglini Winery in Italy. It's a Nebbiola grape with nice minerality, lighter in body and a good finish. I ordered the Roman Carbonara Tradizionale and my spouse chose the Shrimp Scampi. Both dishes would rate as average for presentation, flavor, and originality. Neither of us felt we would order these again. Overall, the experience was good, just not as great as we had hoped it would be. There are several other Italian restaurants in Omaha that I would recommend over Pasta Amore. read more

This place's dishes are not as advertised in the photos on social pages or by the ingredients listed on menu. Our party used to love this restaurant, but the taste isn't close to how it used to be. Cheaper ingredients, less flavor (not talking salt as no one wants over salted) and incomplete mother sauces. Their highly advertised chicken fantasia was a touch gloopy cream sauce (not like pics on their social pages) that has 1 (one caper) and no lemon or wine. No one wants a broken tasteless bechanel and their dishes aren't cheap. They are proud of bad food. Linguine with clams was dry as sand. We got our dishes to go after a few bites to be nice and threw them away. Very expensive evening out that was a waste. Service was great. That's the only positive we have to say about this in 2024. read more

Took a chance during Valentines season that we could get a table. Place was busy and buzzing with satisfied diners. We were late birds arriving around 8pm. Waiter was very pleasant and professional. Ordered the Italian Quattro Formaggi with tortellini soup. My husband had the Italian prime rib, a huge portion perfectly prepared. Our food was outstanding as was the overall presentation. Paired with a nice pinot. Truly enjoyed this dining experience read more

Our waiter was top notch, but the food was pretty terrible . Between 4 of us, 3 of the meals were super bland - literally no seasoning at all. One got spaghetti and meatballs, one got clam linguini, and the other , who ordered risotto, got a bed of rice and random veggies. Even with salt and pepper, it still wasn't good and my clam linguini was almost inedible. The espresso martinis we got at the end were just chilled coffee and vodka and I had to ask for cream and sugar to add. Would not go back again. Again , our waiter was awesome which is who the 1 star is for. read more

I went to Pasta Amore with my mom. The food was really good, we ordered the bruschetta and I highly recommend you do too. They were playing Christmas music in the background and it was very calming. My only complaint was that my fettuccine was spicy, but even then tasted good. Highly recommend. read more

Just not good food. The pasta I got took forever and was cold. Server barely came by. Just not the vibe tbh

Had the worst ($30) salad ever when I was here with friends this week. Seafood salad filled with calamari tough as rubber. Tasted raw. When server came by and asked how it all was, I said "I'm sorry, but the calamari (the prominent seafood in the salad), is too tough to eat!" She said, "Oh, that's OK!" Didn't want to make a fuss in front of friends so called the manager after I left. He initially had the same nonchalant attitude. But then asked a few more questions and agreed the calamari should have been steamed to a tender state. He was struggling with how to get me a gift card since I paid cash and I finally politely declined and wished him well. Told him I thought he should know as raw seafood could be a health hazard. PS: This is the only restaurant review I've ever posted. read more
