What Pasta Amore is known for

Pasta Amore is the life's work of Chef Calgero Lillo Leo Fascianella, who was born in San Cataldo, Sicily, in 1956 and came to the United States with his parents in 1972. Local guide Oh My Omaha notes that the restaurant opened in 1986 and is known for traditional dishes such as eggplant parmigiana and lasagna, along with a wine list.

The restaurant's own site describes Italian home cooking built around house-made pastas. Dishes it mentions include:

• Osso buco and veal Marsala
• Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Fantasia
• Seafood carbonara, clams linguine and gnocchi vodka
• Lasagna and meatballs in marinara
• Starters like calamari, bruschetta, arancini and caprese salad

OpenTable lists Linguine Amore (seafood in an herbed tomato broth), tiramisu and the signature homemade pastas among its popular dishes, and names Jared Clarke as executive chef. On Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant serves an Italian Prime Rib special from 4:30 to 10:00 PM.
