The four course date menu or the chef’s 7 course tasting menu are our favorites! Tonight the Korean chicken starter had great flavor with the right amount of heat! The butternut squash soup with homemade roasted marshmallow was our next selections. Terrific! I chose the scallops for my main course while my spouse had the linguini with clams. The pumpkin crème brule dessert and coconut sorbet were a nice ending to our meal! Our friends had a beautifully plated and delicious beet salads and rack of lamb with mango sorbet. We had a relaxing 2 hour dinner with great service and time with Chef Anthony! Our favorite chef-owned restaurant in Omaha!

We love Spezia. Whenever we are in Omaha, we find a way to have dinner here. Our server Christine did a great job making us feel welcome: from getting the manager to find us some light in our very dark booth to checking in on us to make sure we were happy to refilling drinks without our asking. She promised to pace our meal and she delivered. Christine was attentive without being intrusive. The food here does not disappoint. The artichoke and crab dip arrived piping hot. The walleye was tender and flavorful. My son enjoyed the salmon. The restaurant was busy. I am glad the locals appreciate quality food and service. I know that my son and I do.
