The hostesses were rude, even though we had a reservation. My wine glass was served to me with lipstick on it. When I asked the server for a new glass, she said they all look like that and it’s just staining in the glass. We come here a lot and we’re very disappointed in yesterdays service. Flys we’re all over restaurant too. Gross!

The food and service were great. The food is way overpriced. It's pasta. 3 shrimp, 3 scallops and 3 mussels is not a value at $27.00 when nothing comes with it.

Broad menu. we ordered ravioli and duck as entrees with coconut shrimp to start. Both main courses were perfectly cooked with strong components. My risotto with the duck was smooth and rich, yet accessible to many taste boundaries. Coconut shrimp is always tasty and preparation was flawless. In general, Spezia is top notch in both menu breadth and meal execution. Chef and staff are some of the best in Omaha, if not #1. Wait staff seems to be transitory, but their lack of experience does not impact fantastic cuisine. I order their Bolognese for hike prep. OBTW, prices are very reasonable, especially for this time in our economy. I'd bulldoze the facility and open it up, but that is a small critique for a great restaurant. Again, the secret is simple: many choices and attention to detail on the cooking and product.

Whenever we visit Omaha, we always plan a visit to Spezia. The food and service is excellent. Very friendly and competent staff. We saved our "Steak Night" for our evening at Spezia. The tenderloins were very tender, cooked to order, and the mashed potatoes and broccolini were delicious. We will continue to make it our plan to continue our visits there when we are in town.

We had an excellent mother daughter lunch to celebrate my mom. Our server was great, food was delicious and the ambiance very nice. We ended up dropping/leaving our credit card and the server called us to let us know. They had our cell from our Open table reservation so an even better reason to use this app! We were so appreciative.

Unrivaled service and food quality. Low-lit and versatile atmosphere. Outdoor dining is great when the weather's nice. Plenty of menu options and a happy hour. The woodfire flavor of the beef and shrimp is just the best! Literally everything here is good to eat and they treat you so well. Perfect for special occasions and dates. Highly recommend.

Treated three friends to Spezia after a classical concert. We enjoyed a range of food from a large menu. All was quite tasty. Taylor provided excellent service in a very busy time. Another plus: Spezia is one of the few top restaurants open on Sunday evening.

Nice dinner spot with more room inside than we expected. Noticed they had a nice outdoor dining patio as well. Cheese Ravioli and Grilled Shrimp and Scallops were great. Husband had pasta with chicken and a little spicy cream sauce. Pasta and sauce were good, chicken was a little chewy. Fast and friendly service.

The cheese ravioli was excellent as usual however they have changed their molten cocoa cake recipe. This used to be one of the best desserts in the city and now the cake is tasteless and spongy. The ice cream, chocolate sauce and Heath crumbles served with the cake are still very good, however the cake is now a huge disappointment. Why change something that is so delicious into something that is now tasteless?

It was Father's Day and I expected a crowd but we were seated in the quiet room with the booths off to the right when you enter. We met some friends from Minnesota and all enjoyed excellent meals! Our waitress was very attentive and brought us everything we asked for. Love the warm dinner rolls. I had the risotto with seafood, a favorite and husband had beef burgundy. The other couple enjoyed ravioli and a dish of the specials menu. All of us enjoyed our meal, perfectly prepared and served. We will be back for sure!
