Do you have a favorite Italian food?
While carbs in any form, especially a heaping plate of pasta, are never a bad idea, Italian restaurants offer so much more.
Think Margherita pizza with fresh basil and risotto, flavorful lasagna and ravioli, or savory chicken parmigiana. Antipasto appetizer platters with cured meats are also a big hit, and you can't forget about tiramisu and cannolis for a sweet finish to an impeccable Italian dining experience.
While there are a handful of restaurants scattered across Nebraska that craft delicious Italian cuisine, only one serves these dishes best!
According to a list compiled by Foodie Haven, the best Italian restaurant in Nebraska is Avoli Osteria in Omaha. This restaurant was praised for its made-in-house pasta and slow-braised meats.
Here's what Foodie Haven had to say about the restaurant that serves the best Italian food in the entire state:
"Avoli Osteria brings northern Italian cooking to Omaha without the usual crowd-pleasers. Pasta is made in-house and served with clean, thoughtful flavors. Seasonal vegetables and slow-braised meats appear regularly, but nothing feels overdone. The calm setting and deliberate pacing give the experience a quiet confidence."
