Pasta Amore is our go to restaurant for family celebrations. Their classic meals like lasagna, spaghetti and meatballs and eggplant parm are favorites. We also love anything with the brandy sauce and of course the delicious focaccia bread and whipped ricotta spread that comes with every meal.

Our recent visit was a party of eight. The menu had something for everyone and nothing disappointed. The restaurant was running at capacity over the holiday weekend and was a little noisier than usual, but that is to be expected. Despite the capacity crowd, our food was very good without a long wait and service was exceptional.

Our server Ellen was friendly and prompt with service. She was respectful of the conversation at the table, allowing us to enjoy our date night. The Prime Rib, NY Strip were great. I loved that lobster Mac and house cut fries. These went great with our old fashioned and espresso martini. Didn’t save room for d dessert, maybe next time. I can see why this place is a staple in the Omaha dining community. I highly suggest this restaurant.
