Spezia is considered to be the best Italian Restaurant in Omaha. The food was really good along with the calm ambience. The service was great. We tried the Four Cheese Flatbread, Cheese Ravioli, and Salmon Pasta Spezia and everything was mouthwatering. The waitress was kind enough to ask if we didn’t want the Prosciutto in the Salmon Pasta as we do not eat bacon, therefore, we had it excluded from our pasta. Loved the experience and highly recommend this place for Italian food lovers.

We had a great experience! The food was amazing and our server Maddie was attentive and super friendly. She did a great job and made sure we had all we needed. We definitely recommend it !!

A really good meal! I greatly enjoyed the salmon sandwich. The fish was very tender and subtle. My son had a Cajun seafood pasta, and the pasta was outstanding. A true standout. Dessert was uninspired but tasty. Very reasonable.

Nice Italian restaurant that serves more than Italian! Intimate style atmosphere, friendly staff and good food! Was a bit slow on getting food out, but not anything bad, particularly when dining in to take your time and enjoy your food and company. Definitely worth a try!

I cannot comment on the food as we only went to happy hour. We ordered the margarita pizza and nothing I would order again . The service was excellent and the drinks very nicely presented.

This was the first time we were here for dinner, and it was impressive. The food was delicious and the service was the best. If you are looking for a romantic restaurant, please try this one. I love the apple salad. If you don't like sweet, it's not for you.

My boyfriend and I went for Valentine's Day and the food was great. I had the Walleye and he had the Rack of Lamb and it was all delicious. The wine suggested by the server was also very good and the bread with olive oil, balsamic, parmesean and Italian seasoning was great. We had fried calamari for an appetizer and it was some of the best I've ever had. The tiramisu for dessert was amazing, my boyfriend didn't even want dessert and ate half! We will definitely be back for another date night!

Amazing restaurant! Great food, lovely atmosphere. The service was exceptional. Our waiters name was Alex and he was so very friendly and helpful. Spezia definitely has a repeat customer.

Fabulous Anniversary dinner location! They have amazing food and I can't say enough about the desert that is from a local bakery. So YUMMY!

We walked in around 7.20pm without reservation. They still able to sat us promptly. I recommend reservation to get good seating. We sat out at the patio, so in the hot summer, we had to deal with flies. Frankie was our server. He was excellent. At no point of dinner that we feel rush. He’s very attentive and friendly. As for the food, it’s very good. We got salmon and ribeyes steak which cook to perfection. For portion size was good, not overly huge like other places. The price here is reasonable for quality products.

Spezia has a wonderful, dark interior that creates a mood fit for long conversations and plenty of wine. I ordered a few foods as this place was highly recommended. First, the service was very professional and experienced; I had a knowledgeable waitstaff and they were very attentive though not many diners were present. For appetizer, I had the fried mozzarella risotto; the small amount of cheese was disappointing but the white sauce was good and overall wasn’t greasy. The bread they serve with the meal was surprisingly good! Very soft on the inside, not a hard bread roll as it seems. For my entree, I ordered the shrimp and scallops meal. The seafood was charred perfectly and you can taste the smokiness! The pasta was good, the vegetables decent as I would’ve liked a bigger serving with diversity for the plate size. I even ordered a flatbread to go (Happy Hour!) and it was very value added. The peach Bellini was refreshing, quite sweet and didn’t have much of an alcohol taste. Overall, their entrees seem reasonably priced for the amount of food, their seafood is grilled and sautéed well, so I would return for that but wouldn’t order much appetizer again.

This is without a doubt my new favorite restaurant in Omaha. The chicken Parmesan was perfect. Hubby got shrimp scampi and loved it. Try the flirtini it’s amazing. Tiramisu was delicious. Idk how I’ve lived in Omaha my whole life and never been here. Our server was very friendly. We will be back

Ok, first time at Spezia…. Dunno why we waited so long! Great atmosphere, friendly staff and great food!

I had the best steak I have ever had in my life at Spezia! I am a native Chicagoan and go to all the great steak houses in the city. I have travelled extensively in the U.S. and Europe and I can honestly say that I have never had as great a beef tenderloin as I did last Saturday night.

Tried this place for the first time last Saturday and it was a wonderful experience. Not only was the food delicious but the staff was attentive, kind, and helpful. I got the grilled shrimp and scallops and my husband got the salmon pasta spezia. Both were extremely good and were just the right amount of food. Don’t skip dessert here - tiramisu was one of the best I’ve had!

Peach Chicken enough said

First time in Omaha for me. Came here based in Google reviews and I am very glad I did. The staff were friendly and professional without being overbearing at all. After warm bread with olive oil/balsamic dip prepared at the table, I chose the Petite Filet and Petite Salmon. Both were very very good. The steak was cooked perfectly to my medium/rare liking. The food had a very distinct wood taste that evoked memories of evenings by a campfire. No salt was needed for the steak, which is rare for me. 2 glasses of excellent Cabernet at a very reasonable $9 a glass finished off a meal at about $65. For steak this good in the Northeast US where I live, this would easily have been a $100 meal. I have one more night in Omaha and I will probably be back here for dinner. I'm going to try the duck. A well deserved 5 stars from me.

Always a pleasure. Food is delicious, service is a bit too casual for the price of the restaurant, steaks are not always cooked evenly, but everyone is friendly, food comes warm, and presentation is neat. You can never go wrong with the tiramisu. I love the candlelight.

Our group of 6 people had an enjoyable and delicious dining experience at Spezia. Between the 6 of us, a variety of different entrees were ordered and devoured! The seafood diavolo, steaks, salads, flat breads and pasta all were expertly prepared. Please review my photos and click the like button if this review was helpful.

I’m very happy to say that I’ve been coming to Spezia for years and I’ve never had a bad experience here. Spezia is a great place in Omaha to go for a steak, some wood roasted duck, pasta, chicken, lamb, and even seafood dishes. They have got the wood grilling down! All their wood grilled dishes come out looking and smelling incredible! And the flavor is hard to beat. Make sure you reserve your table in advance because this place always seems to be busy during dinner hours, and save room for the banana’s foster cheesecake at the end. It’s one of the best things on the menu.

This place is top notch! Lunch or dinner, I have been there for both and enjoyed the food and ambience. At dinner time it does get pretty dark but you can still read the menu. I always get a little nervous ordering fish places in the Midwest, but their salmon and seafood mix are amazing. The salmon is so flaky and cooked perfectly each time. Instead of pasta, we also tried the roasted chicken. It was top notch. Their bread is delicious too, served with olive oil and balsamic vinegar with some Parmesan cheese if you wish. Best Italian in Omaha from our perspective.

We enjoyed the Napoli flat bread and Bone in pork chop. Excellent appetizers and cocktails as well!! Love the quiet, romantic atmosphere! 🥰

In town one night while traveling and tried this restaurant. It was better than expected in every way. The food (Chicken Parmesan) was excellent, the service was attentive and friendly, and the staff was very welcoming. If you are traveling along I-80 and are looking for really good Italian, just stop here.

Best buffet style brunch in Omaha, but it is currently unavailable due to COVID-19 changes... otherwise it is just an expensive Italian restaurant. Food/seating/service/staff is excellent but you pay a larger price for it.

Good food, nice atmosphere, a little pricey.

One of my favorite spots for tasty Italian food. super appetizing. the staff was very sociable and kind. it has a good atmosphere.

Nice place for quality italian food. It's so appetizing. I'll return family next time. It has an awesome feel to it.

Really great meal.

My husband and I go here every year for our anniversary because this is where he proposed to me. I think I've had nearly every dish and all have been great. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for amazing Italian food!

RUN do not walk—this place is WONDERFUL!! Honestly this is one of the best dining experiences I have had in Omaha, and I’ve been coming for years! Reily our waitress was absolutely amazing, and really knew the menu and restaurant well! The Italian sausage and meatballs were delectable—and the red sauce complimented them perfectly! Our table could not keep the bread away either, their rolls are the best ever! The food, staff, ambiance, and cleanliness were all 5/5 stars!! Thank you for a wonderful meal!

My husband and I had our 40th anniversary here. Everything was excellent. The waitress was great and the food was excellent. Everyone was super pleasant and attentive. The gnocchi alla pollo and the seared scallops and risotto were excellent.

Good first experience! Caprese salad needed way more basil, not lettuce, but was decent. Don't recall the name but I got Cajun chicken linguine, it was not spicy at all, more black pepper than anything really. Hubby got a burger that had red sauce& cheese, served on a dry bread. Might be the best flavored burger I've ever tried! Bummed they don't serve cannoli so we skipped dessert, not that we had any room! We went for lunch around 1245 on a Saturday, no wait.

Came here with my fiance and his parents. We each ordered a different kind of pasta and cleaned up our plates! I absolutely loved my pasta dish, the french acadian chicken linguine in a creamy Cajun sauce. So flavorful and the portion was just perfect! 🧡 The Spezia tiramisu was divine, too.

I'm the kind of person that wants to leave six stars or none, Spezia was excellent. I went with the classic and had the chicken Parm and it was really good. It was very hot. It had a crispy, breaded fried coding. The chicken was juicy and tender and the sauce was amazing. my wife had chicken and cheese tortellini florentiene and she really enjoyed that , after our meal we had a molten chocolate cake and it was amazing. The whole table was under $50 recommended.

I loved Spezia! The Rack of lamb was incredibly delicious. While I wasn't a huge fan of their complimentary oil dip, everything else tasted absolutely amazing. The waitress was also really nice. I'll definitely be going back again! 🍽️

We love visiting Spezia's for lunch! The staff is always friendly and willing to help. Its usually easy to get a table at lunch without a reservation. For dinner, a reservation is probably best, no matter the day of the week. Today I tried the basil chicken sandwich and that is my new favorite dish!

First time having Spezia last night, and it was fantastic! The bread service was delicious - hot rolls that have slight crisp to the outside and steamy, fluffy inside served with butter or balsamic vinegar and oil. The 𝗰𝗮𝗲𝘀𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗱 wasn’t my favorite. It was lacking dressing and parmesan, so it was a little dry. However, the croutons served on it were seasoned well, crispy, and tasty. I ordered the honey peppered 𝗔𝘁𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗺𝗼𝗻 which is served with alfredo capellini pasta. This dish was absolutely phenomenal. This was some of the best salmon I’ve had in a long time. Seared well on the outside for a slight char, excellent seasoning, cooked medium. Seriously exceptional. And the alfredo capellini was the perfect compliment. My son got the 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗻 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 which I would’ve ordered if he hadn’t. It was incredible. The Plum Creek Farms chicken was breaded well, perfectly crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. It was topped with tomato sauce and fresh mozzarella. It was also served with capellini pasta but with a flavorful tomato sauce to compliment the breaded chicken. For dessert we shared the 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂. Again, I will say not my favorite. Tiramisu is one of my all-time favorite desserts so that was unfortunate. The lady fingers were dry and not soaked well enough with coffee liqueur. There was also only a small dusting of cocoa powder on top. This made the mascarpone cheese the dominant flavor and the coffee very subtle and hard to taste. It might have just been an off night for this batch, so I’d likely give it another shot if I hear this is atypical for Spezia. The ambience was beautiful, especially after a day of rain. The cloudy sky cast a dim, moody light through the large, slanted windows above the booths facing the patio. That, along with abundance of table lamps and candlelight made for a cozy, relaxing dinner. The bread service and pasta dishes were enough to bring me back again. Go check them out if you haven’t been recently. It’s a great date or family dinner spot.

Im from Wisconsin and was in Omaha on business. I had heard of Omaha steaks and the hype, but didn't understand how true it was. It was cooked to perfection and was the best cut of meat I've ever eaten. Complements to the chef, if you're in Omaha, Spezia is a must. Cheers.

Food and service are always very good!

Horribly prepared food! The waitress brings this review to two stars as she was prompt and attentive. I had the eggplant parm which is pretty hard to ruin but it was burnt on the bottom (side toward the bottom of the plate). Additionally, they changed the recipe since our last visit and now use eggplant that is sliced approximately 1/4 in or more thick. The problem when using this thick of a slice of eggplant and when you don’t press the eggplant, the eggplant tends to be bitter! So this entree was bitter and burnt! My wife had shrimp scampi and unfortunately the shrimp were very overcooked (hint when shrimp curls, it is over cooked). The waitress did bring it back and the chef tried again but it was still overcooked. We have been to Spezia several times and never had these problems before.....however, I won’t think we will be back for awhile.

Food is pretty good, and always have a nice experience with the wait staff. Tiramisu is absolutely fantastic.

Fav date night spot

The food was very good but our server had too many tables and we waited over 20 minutes trying to get paid out.

Amazing food as always

Amazing Steak and service

Just a great place for a romantic dinner with your significant other. Also there is a bar if your solo or need time away from wifey.

Fabulous birthday dinner! The lemon desert was to die for!

Great food and drink options. Professional staff took good care of us for a great date night.

It isn't a cheap dinner by any means, but it is so delicious. Some of the best service I've ever received and the wine was great. Very happy we chose this place for our anniversary!

Our first time here for our anniversary dinner. As soon as we walked in the door, the smells of the kitchen had already filled the restaurant. We started with happy hour cocktails and the artichoke and crab dip. I ordered the Salmon Pasta Spezia, my husband ordered the Rack of Lamb. My salmon was so perfectly cooked that the meat just melted in my mouth. His lamb was equally as good! We finished with coffees and their tiramisu. It truly was the best tiramisu I've ever had. Will definitely be back!

This was the best meal of mine and my husbands life. We had the crab artichoke dip, the lamb and the hunter ribeye. It was so amazing nothing we ate was bad! We also had drinks and dessert the drinks were heavy handed. The banana foster cheesecake and tiramisu where so good light and delicious not too sweet. The only issue we had was the lighting sometimes caused us to squint. But the environment was great besides the lights. Our servers where great and friendly. Best anniversary dinner and meal of my life!

Amazing service and food. Wendy assured me they had gluten free options and I would not be sick and she was absolutely right. The whole staff was very knowledgeable about gluten. I was super impressed. Amazing food! A must have restaurant

This restaurant has the best booths under the glass sun-room for enjoying a nice meal with your S.O. or close family. I had a very pleasant meal here with my girlfriend a few months ago and my experience is still fresh in my mind because of how good it was. My server was trained very well with his attendance at my table because we never felt rushed or like we ever needed anything. Delicious food too! Presentation was on point and my steak was cooked exactly how it was ordered.

Incredible food and service. You can tell the staff is tight knit which is always a good sign!

Great food great service

Great food!! Great service!! Great place!!

Classic is always in style.

Italian food, mmm, super delicious. I will probably become a regular. This place has a nice design.

Delicious food. Great wait staff! Covid safe!

Nice site for tasty Italian food. Came in on a Weds.

Not cheap, but good service & food.

Excellent Food, Extremely friendly and professional service

Great food, awesome service!

We enjoyed our meal so much that we went back on Saturday night. Again I ordered the same salad special. This time the salmon wasn't quite as good. Both of the others with me had steaks (filets) and said they were excellent. We had an early reservation and there weren't many people there. If you'd like to go, and are worried about eating in a crowded restaurant

Always a treat.

Good quality food. Great happy hour.

First visit to this classy Italian restaurant. Plenty of space between tables, many patrons but didn't feel crowded. No lasagna on their menu. Large portion tiramisu dessert too much to finish after calamari app, bread, chicken parmesan and wood grilled chicken with asparagus in pesto crema entrees. Menu a la carte.

Nice portions. Treated like family.

Awesome food

The best restaurant in Omaha, hands down. Cannot say enough how great everything is: good, drinks, service, atmosphere. Everything is spectacular.

I like the salmon pasta here
