Dante

Incredible pizza, salad and drinks.Outstanding service by Marcus. Adam the mgr is on top of every single detail. Had an event here and it was a dream come true. We have dined here for years and it is always consistent with the highest quality ingredients that shows in the product. I am a pain in the neck diner and every time I ask for something the response is “ consider it done”. Nick is a lucky guy to have Adam at the helm and Marcus as a server!!!!!

Stopped in to celebrate anniversary dinner. Ordered the meatballs appetizer, funghi Bianco pizza entree, and wood fired Brussels sprouts side, and gelato flight for dessert. All were quite delicious, though the Brussels sprouts were a touch under salted for my taste, unless you got a bite with the bacon pieces. The wine selection was broad. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and informative. It was a touch loud given the open atmosphere, so if you're looking for a more intimate place, maybe go when it's less crowded. Definitely recommend!

If you have never been to Dante yet then this should be your next dinner spot. This is one of the best Italian restaurants in Omaha hands down. The bolognese, which is the true test for an Italian - is incredible. Every pizza I have tried so far is unique and so incredible. My favorite is the spicy one. If you like oil and bread, order quick bread and use the orange pepper oil and the olive oil they give you to dip the bread. I like to add a sprinkle of Parmesan to the plate as well to give it even more flavor. Order this when you order your appetizers and enjoy together. My husband ordered the zucchini chips which was not my choice because it would rather try something more exciting but he loved them. I cannot stress this enough but every time I have been the staff has been exceptional. They are so friendly and personable with great recommendations for what to order. If you leave without trying dessert you have truly missed out. Try the butterscotch budino 🤤 the gelato is also just incredible. You really can’t go wrong here!

First time going to DANTE. It was very nice for there to be a "first come, first serve" area where the people like me, would never know to call ahead and reserve spots. I feel this type of place gets the repeat customers, but not necessarily all the best customers, as it felt "classy-older". The food was great, however, expensive. Easily a $100 evening for 2 hungry adults if you get an appetizer and pizza.

Amazing food and great service. We stopped in for an early Friday dinner and were immediately seated on the patio. We started with the House Ricotta & Honey Comb. It was fantastic. The ricotta was light and fluffy with a hint of lemon. It was a great flavor combination with the accompanying tigelle bread, local honey comb and bacon jam. For dinner I ordered the house made Squid ink Taglierini. It was tossed in a calabrian chili sauce with bottarga and jonah crab. The flavor was excellent- very fresh and unique. My husband had the Rigatoni Bolognese with added burrata and it was delicious as well. Everything about our meal was excellent. We’ll definitely be back soon!

Dante is one of our favorite pasta places in West Omaha. Upscale atmosphere with a menu that changes daily. The pasta is handmade. Last night we got squid ink taglierini pasta in a chili sauce with crab meat and tagliatelle Sunday Ragu in a wine sauce. Fantastic. The creme brulee and Pumpkin Cheesecake were excellent.

Stopped into Dante today for a late lunch/early dinner. Pretty much the between time. We had the place to ourselves which was nice. Meatballs 4.5 stars Tagliatelle pork sugo 5 stars Truffle pasta 5 stars Lunch special 4 stars. I will say their sauces are excellent. It definitely fits my preference for flavor profile. You could smell how aromatic the truffles were as he was bringing them out before he even shaved them. Would recommend this dish when it's available. Personally I'm not as much of a meatball person, but my chef friend thought the flavouring was done very well. Again the sauce hit the right notes for me. The salad today wasn't as bright as I remembered it from past visits. The flatbread was very good, but the diavolo wouldn't be my first choice. I let the server and my friend choose. I probably should have ordered a different one, I've had other ones which I know I prefer but I forgot to note them. There was an issue though where the bottom of the flat bread was soggy from oil or liquid of some sort. It was minor though so we did not bring it up at the time. That's why it gets a 4 instead of a 5 today. The boudino we did for dessert. This is a bit too sweet for me but perfect for those with a sweet tooth. I often order it for my friends who I know love their sweets. They devour it up. Service was very attentive today. We were the only table there for awhile but as 4pm hit you could see them gearing up for dinner as more diners started wandering in. It was a nice relaxing experience.

I want to first and most importantly say- this place is unlike any other dining experience I’ve ever had. I was on vacation and ended up eating here twice in the same day because I had such an amazing experience. The lunch menu is amazing and so unique, the staff is personable and will accommodate you with menu questions and suggestions, and the ambiance is beautiful and comfortable both day and night. I was so happy with my lunch experience with our server, Abraham, that I had to come back for dinner. Abraham personally booked us a special menu selection for dinner after a discussion about their dinner menu and how I loved my time here. At dinner, I was just as surprised and amazed. I am not exaggerating when I say this: I can confidently say the best steak I have ever had was here. Another fact I really enjoy about DANTE is everything is farm to table. My beautiful steak grew up about 100 mi away and never left Nebraska. Everything is made by the staff, which I love. I find it amazing that the head chef and the staff work so diligently to present inventive and astronomical quality food with all local produce and product, even the strawberries on the cheesecake are local. They spare no expense on providing their patrons the best and freshest produce Nebraska has to offer. Another of my favorite things you need to try- it’s simple but their lemonade is made by hand, and it again, will probably be the best lemonade you’ll ever have. I, a month and some change later, am still daydreaming about my time spent with the amazing people that make up the staff of DANTE. I implore you to take friends, family, and colleagues here for an experience you’ll never forget. The only regrets I have here is not being able to have the ravioli in full (I got a sample and it was OUT OF THIS WORLD, you have to try it) and not being able to get the course meal (I left before it became available and legitimately thought about coming back just for it). I felt like I got absolutely spoiled by everyone that served us that day and I witnessed them treat everyone else just as indulgently. When you come to DANTE they will do anything within their ability to create an unforgettable experience unique to you and your party. I love the energy and values this place holds. Please give it a chance and make it your favorite. You will find a second home here.
