Avoli Osteria

If you are looking for a chic restaurant for a special evening, Avoli Osteria is worth the hype. The atmosphere was fitting for a romantic night out. Despite being pretty busy, we didn't find it to be overwhelming. The aura of the place was warm, cozy, and peaceful. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable about every detail of our meal. The food was phenomenal! We had bruschetta, risotto, and one of the specials that I've sadly forgotten the name of lol. Overall, this was a great experience.

Excellent service. Nice wine list. Butternut squash soup, best ever. Caesar salad light and tangy dressed. Pasta made in house and sauced with smoked eggplant and chicken, very good. Don't forget dessert. The cinnamon ice cream was delicious.

First visit. Overall a good dining experience. Professional service helped enhance a meal that had a few problems. They are currently doing indoor and outdoor dining. Tables are spaced appropriately. Everyone was wearing masks. Seafood antipasto 21 dollars 5 star The scallops were perfectly cooked. Some of the shrimp were a bit over, but to me the scallop is the thing to remember. The sauce was perfectly balanced for me. A great starter. Burrata 16 dollars 4.5 stars Solid burrata salad. Everything combined well. Everything was fresh. Vegetarian slice 11 dollars 4.5 star Really enjoyed the pesto sauce on this pizza. My companion loved the large chunks of garlic. The salad, albeit a simple red wine vinegar, was easy to eat Carbonara 17 dollars 3 stars The sauce was not creamy enough. The pasta was dry. My companion felt it was overly salted. For myself, the flavor wasn't where I hoped it would be, and after 2 bites I didn't consume any more. We spoke to our server about it after the meal. He told us next time to let him know right away so that he could fix the issue immediately. Bistecca 49 dollars 3.5-4 stars Overly salty. Everything on the plate was salted a bit too much. The chef did a good job on cooking the steak. Might be something nice for a steak lover (I'd ask to go easier on the salt) but not a top pick for myself here. Things to note: when you order the gelato trio you will only get one choice of ice cream. We were told that it was because there were mix ups... when the servers would deliver the flavors sometimes they would get it wrong. I was surprised that the servers would get it wrong so often that it would stop them from offering multiple flavors. Budino 7 dollars 4 stars If you are into something very sweet this might be a 5 star for you. The flavor was good. They do have a parking lot with some parking, but they expanded their patio to accommodate more space so some spots are no longer there. It does make for a safer dining experience. Overall I worked like to try more of their menu. I was told this was the place to go for pasta so I might try to figure out which is the best on my next visit

Avoli was very high quality Italian cuisine. Most entrees are about $20-25, so it is not that expensive. The Penne Vodka was better than the Potato Gnocci in my opinion. The chocolate cake and Gelato was very rich and is enough to be split by two people. The bruschetta was very tasty but was not worth $14. Overall, the restaurant is a candle lit, romantic setting that is very pleasant for dates.

This restaurant is the best place in Omaha. Delicious food (my 90 year old mamma was impressed!) beautiful ambiance and incredible people. Special thanks to Jasmine the manager for the special welcoming of our family and creating the perfect space for our gathering. Brian the bartender for amazing drinks and wonderful personality and a huge thank you to Erin our server for her attention to detail, patience and incredible handling of our table. The owner is fortunate to have such an amazing staff. Our big Italian family and friends will be dining with you again and again.
