dante

we really like this place. great choice of wines and food. the sunday wine and food special prices make it a great time to try it. this is one of our regular places for lunch or dinner.

very nice and somewhat fancy italian restaurant, they have all the essentials on their menu to make them a legitimate italian establishment such as a variety of lemon cello's, italian beers and authentic italian wines. i have heard their pizza is very very good coaching to traditional fashion however the one we had was slightly burnt i was very happy however with my pasta and our service.

the best real pizza in town. craving real italian thin crust pizza? look no farther. i am not a dessert person, but i always try to make an exception when there. mama mia!

overpriced burnt food!. i heard great things about this place, but i was extremely disappointed with not only the food but also the wait staff. $65 for two appetizers, glass of wine, and a soda is a little much. my advice, go elsewhere!

i've eaten here a few times. it is a nice modern italian restaurant in the shops of legacy. it's basically a place to grab some gourmet pizza, but they also offer some other tasty selections.

zucchini fritti - these are very very tasty. i am a huge fan of zucchini fritti almost everywhere it is served. unlike the zucchini sticks or thick zucchini slices you are probably used to having fried. these are almost as thin as potato chips. they are very tasty and my only complaint is they should give you twice as many.

meatballs - a few jumbo meatballs served as a small plate or appetizer. they are very good meatballs covered in a delicious marinara.

bolo joe - this is, essentially, their house bread with a mound of their delightful bolognese sauce on it and some grana padano (an italian cheese related to parmigiano reggiano, but younger). a tasty small plate to be sure.

pappardelle bolognese - their bolognese sauce is amazing. skip the pasta. just fill a huge bowl with bolognese and i will eat with a spoon like a good stew. their homemade pasta is very tasty, but i think they got the shape wrong. it does not want to stay on your fork. it is a combination of it being both too short and too wide.

the neapolitan pizzas are what people come here for. it's the big draw. crust on them is superb. it's just the way i love pizza crust. sauce is simple. i prefer mine a bit more spiced and i also prefer more sauce on my pizza than this place gives you. i've had a few different selections of their pizza...

margherita - simple and good. this is sort of the "cheese pizza" of the pizza snob world.

giuseppe - good, but the "papa's sausage" is just too overpowering. it's all you taste when you bite into this pizza. they need to use less or find a less potent sausage. also, it doesn't take like the italian sausage you're probably used to having on pizza. i'm not a big fan of other types of sausage on my pizza as i don't think the flavors meld well.

oma-za - essentially, this is the giuseppe with mushrooms instead of peppers. they list it a few notches down on the menu and change the order in which the ingredients are listed in order to make it look unique, but it's essentially a giuseppe knock-off. it's good, but has the same problem with the over-powering "papa's sausage."

service is friendly. i haven't encountered any pretentiousness in my visits here. they always ask if i have reservations when i walk in, but i never do and i still am seated immediately. granted, i don't go when they're slammed. as with all things, ymmv.

restaurant is clean and well-maintained. parking is shared with all of the other businesses in the shops of legacy, so it can be a challenge to find a spot during peak business hours.

i find this place inconsistent. the only consistencies are the small portions and high price tag. the first time we went the pasta was amazing bc of this we keep coming back but it's hit or miss and for this price tag nothing should ever miss.

needs work. have not been to this restaurant for over a year. decided to give it another shot after not being that impressed in the past. still not that good. service was marginal. our waiter ( i think his name was brett ) was terrible. for the money, there are much better pizza options in omaha.

i've never been let down by anything ordered here. the service is always great too. pasta is fresh made and pizza is excellent.

loved the entire trip. pasta is fresh and the pizza is fresh. it's all priced right too.

awesome. ate here once a couple months ago and the food and service was awesome. maybe a little over priced but will go eat there again.

mussels came with house pancetta, chili, white wine, tomato, garlic and some gloriously crusty bread (make a note to ask for more! also, no joke, a spoon). i think it'd be totally acceptable to make a meal out of that dish alone if you were inclined. and the bread... can i just take a moment to remember that... oh yeah.

save your money. been going to dante's since opening. always make it a point to eat there on business trips. went week of 17 february 2014. pizza really went down hill. no flavor very generic. save yourself $17 and buy a degornos. won't be going back.

we'll be back!. we decided to try dante's on a recommendation from a friend. i was so pleased when i read the menu! i'm not a pizza person...there is only one pizza place i'd go out of my way to buy pizza and that is at boston northend pizza in hawaii. we decided on the way to dante’s that unless this “pizza” place was outstanding, we’d probably not go back as it was quite a drive. it took me about six months to get around to trying this highly recommended restaurant. we started with a nice rich red wine and ordered two appetizers: the cheese & salami plate and crispy skin mackerel. we slowly savored every bite. we don’t like to rush when we eat so were happy that the waitress was attentive but left us alone. our main courses were the cortona pizza and the braised short rib on polenta. to make it even better, wine was 1/2 price for certain bottles on thursday nights. what a wonderful dinner. it was too much food, so we boxed up our leftovers and savored it again a few days later. yes, we'll be back. it's a bit pricey but worth it!

great pizza. went to dante during the week for lunch with my wife, funghi pizza for her a grinder sandwich for me. both we very good. waitstaff was excellent, he explained the concept of neapolitan style pizza. the chips are very addictive. will definitely go back. fantastic dinning experience.

gustatory. good dining experience.
