    Service was friendly and professional. It's rated as fine dining, but it's more an old classic styled restaurant. They have a dress code but it's no hats, no sleaveless shirts and no cutoff shirts. You can wear jeans here. Shrimp scampi 4.5 stars...? I didn't really care for the toast with it, felt it tastes better on its own. Veal marsala 3 stars Wasn't a big fan of this. The pasta and greens were a 4 Lasagna 4.5 stars Fettuccine alfredo 4 stars Chicken parmesan 4 stars This was a great trio option Pesto pasta I don't prefer these noodles. It felt a bit dry yet it was still oily. The flavor was good though. 3.5 stars. If they changed the noodles it might get a higher rating? Stratiatella soup 3 stars I didn't try the salad but my friends told me it's pretty standard. Parking is available in a medium private lot. They have a banquet hall across the way.

    Bread olive oil and whole garlic for appetizer is unique and really good. Trust my experience on this you should control your desire to dip more of the bread in Parmesan melted herb infused olive oil at this point because you need room for the pasta. My artichoke pasta is somewhat too tangy for me. Green beans are good addition to it. Sour cream maybe? in lasagna is a good idea to enrich flavor but it was a bit too much for me.

    A new owner operated restaurant! Some of the menu items have been retained as well as some fresh additions. Service was spot on, courtesy friendly and polite as well as very professional! The food was absolutely delicious, scallops were the best we have had. Pasta was perfectly prepared. House wine was very good ! Will recommend to anyone wanting to dine on fine Italian cuisine.

    Food is great. Pretty good service. Very busy inside which is great to see. Very noisy inside, so it was hard to hear conversation. Ordered Michaelangelo and loved it. Great sauce. Also ordered the fettuccine with alfredo sauce. A little mild on flavor but still really good. Also ordered the flatbread margherita for appetizers which was very good

    Went for dinner on a busy Saturday night. Between Berkshire and prom season it was packed and then some and we waited about 70 minutes for a table as they don't take reservations. Wife and I sat at the bar and ordered cocktails and a delicious Flatbread Margherita appetizer. Bartender was a pro at keeping up with the hectic environment. Im not sure i know his name, maybe "Ian"? When we finally got seated the service itself was lackluster but the food was fantastic and the portion sizes are the "2 day meal types" we hadn't been there in over a decade before this visit and it hasn't lost a step. Would recommend.

    Food tasted fantastic! The service was alright, a little forgetful, but it seems like they're still trying to work out the kinks. Staff was kind and courteous. Our food wasn't very hot, but it was fresh. We had to request garlic and cheese for the bread. Bread was hot and fresh out of the oven but was kind of hard. Overall a good experience. I look forward to their growth, and I think this place will be a five star spot in no time.

    Had high hopes after the new owners took over the restaurant. Carbonara was broken. Sauce was grainy like the cheese seized up. Pancetta was barely rendered down; incredibly chewy. Creme brulee was not bruleed at all. Sent it back and it still came back with hardly any caramelization. The custard was....just not good. Chicken piccata lacked freshness, brightness and flavor. Risotto was just dry clumpy rice. Even the dinner rolls were undercooked. Unfortunate that the kitchen dropped the ball. The "Italian Kiss" cocktail was fun. Our server was very friendly and pleasant.

    Lo Sole Mio is an old, traditional Italian restaurant that is totally worth a visit if you've never been there before. The staff is always friendly. The portions are huge. The roasted garlic is included for free with the buns. It is absolutely an amazing experience every time. The minestrone soup is literally the best thing ever. You need to try it. If you try nothing else, try the minestrone. If you didn't try the minestrone here, you have an experienced Lo Sole Mio!

    Fantastic traditional Italian food. The thunderbird salad with dinner is a MUST! Clean safe environment. Friendly professional staff. Take some bruschetta tomatoes to go and jazz up your favorite dishes and appetizers!

    We had a wonderful meal! I was a little leary because of the issues that they had with trying to sell the business and I think trying to make a go of it in the end. Maybe I'm wrong about some of this. The food was fantastic the service was fantastic. Very happy we went and we will be back!

    We ate here on Saturday evening, there were plenty of people there, but a pretty short wait. The menu has nice variety without being overwhelming. We were happy to see some of the traditions of the former restaurant were still in place- especially the roasted garlic and bruscetta with the bread basket. Service was attentive and very personable, and we got plenty of food with leftovers. All of our food was excellent, we look forward to going back again.

    We loved our first dinner experience at Mio Italiano, I'd strongly recommend it to anyone that enjoyed its predecessor Lo Sole Mio. Excellent food, friendly staff, great vibe overall. Our food came out quickly and was served hot/fresh, the portion sizes were also generous. We'll definitely be back.

    Best Italian food in the state. Service was amazing. Make sure you try the olive oil dipping sauce. Went back a second time..chicken Florentine fried ravioli, and she had Spagetti and meatballs. Delicious

    Their authentic Italian food and atmosphere was very enjoyable. The place was very busy, but we felt safe. We got the Antipasto appetizer and it was massive. This shared charcuterie style plate is enough for 4 people. We couldn't even eat half of it. It included marinated artichoke, several types of olives, and pickled eggplant and bell peppers. The meats were salami, pepperoni, procuttio, and a type of ham, I think. They had provolone and chunks of parmesan regganio for the cheese. The garlic and basil infused olive oil was very enjoyable with their bread, though I was really expecting a more authentic style French bread or maybe ciabatta style bread instead of the small rolls that were given. Also expected the bread to at least be warm. It's decent, just not what I expected. The roasted garlic you can get with the rolls was very good. We were able to purchase a smaller bottle of the garlic oil to bring home with us. If you don't already do so, adding fresh cracked pepper to the oil is ideal. In the pictures, the bottle on the left is the one we purchased, the one on the right is the standard size of bottle on their tables. The salad was all right, but nothing special. My husband did very much enjoy his clam chowder which was the soup of the day. I had the spaghetti with meat sauce and added 3 meat balls. They were very good. Firm with great flavor. I liked that they had real grated parmesan cheese on their tables to add in lieu of the standard dehydrated parmesan you see in a lot of chain style pizza places. My husband got the Veal Marsala. He said it was very tasty, lots of sauce with plenty of mushrooms. The parmesan and garlic oil angel hair that came with it was perfect. A lot of times with that style you don't get the flavor to stick to the noodles well but this one was really perfect.

    Clam chowder is best I ever had! Spinach chicken and shrimp rotini fire… Steak rivals top five in the State! Because it’s close to #1 This place is very in touch with the culinary culture and Authentic Italian hospitality. Could add a signature red and white sangria to drink menu with same Italian twist….

    Not the same experience of Sole Mio. Slow service. Looked forward to having Chicken Piccata but was disappointed. Previous owners did a great Caesar Salad...not now. I was expecting the old recipes since it was named Mio. It's just not the same.

  • 2/5 Lawrence H. 11 months ago on Google
    If you're going here after they became Mio Italiano expecting the same great recipes that Losole Mio served, you'll be disappointed. My wife and I got the dishes we had always ordered at Losole Mio. They taseted nothing close to what we used to enjoy at this location. Everything else, from the great service to the roasted garlic and rolls, is basically the same.

  • 5/5 Patrick M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a reservation and got in a little early. Service was a little slow but attributed to just opening. Had the veal piccata and portions were large enough for leftovers. Great Orsi dinner rolls and roasted garlic!! Will definitely be back, especially using their reservation system.

  • 1/5 Jack F. 11 months ago on Google
    Had one of the worst dining experiences. Had a 7 oclock reservation and didn't see a waitress for almost 45 minutes. Bread, tomatoes and garlic are not the same as advertised, no salads with pasta orders for food that is very expensive and the food was completely undercooked. Incredibly disappointing since Lo Sole Mio was one of the best restaurants around. Not only did it not live up to Lo Sole Mio, it was one of the worst restaurant experiences we have had in Omaha.

  • 4/5 Marcia B. 11 months ago on Google
    Had a reservation for a large hungry group and everyone enjoyed their meal. We ordered appetizers, multiple drinks and everything was served in a timely manner. Kids meal was also generous portion of spaghetti and meatballs. Waitstaff did an excellent job. Give them a try!

  • 5/5 Karin W. 1 year ago on Google
    Highly recommend! Great old school Italian place. Service was outstanding. Even on a busy Saturday night there was very little wait for food and drinks. The bread and olive oil arrive when you're seated and its a lovely way to start your meal. Their red sauce is about as perfect as it gets. Not too sweet or too acidic, not overpowered with herbs or garlic. My husband had one of the samplers and I had the veal parm with pasta with oil and garlic and we traded bites back and forth. Everything was fantastic! The portions are generous and they're kind enough to box up your leftovers for you. While there is no dress code (that I know of?), we were the only people there in jeans and t-shirts. Most women had on dresses or skirts and most men were wearing polos. We weren't treated any differently, of course, but its something I wish I had known about ahead of time, so I thought I would pass along.

    Marie and Dave, I am sadden to hear of your closing, but at the same time understand why. My wife and I have been some of your most loyal customers since you opened 30+ years ago. We have many a memory of standing for 2-3 hours in the original establishment on Saint Valentine’s Day to enjoy the fare. Our love for the bountiful servings, quaint table settings and excellent staff service are among some of our. most cherished thoughts. I used to tell people around me when Heather would call to let me know the weekend special “Marco Polo” was being served, that I was on your call list. They would laugh and think that so funny, but who does that for their customers? You did. We recently moved to Florida and my wife is retired and we have found a few really good Italian restaurants in our area (Sanford) but nothing will ever replace LoSole Mio. God bless and enjoy retirement!
