Malara's Italian Restaurant

"After going here for years bringing my family for birthdays, anniversaries, etc. Me and my wife stopped by for a simple lunch to split in. The server asked us three times if she could bring us an extra plate and to get her to shut up. We said okay and then she charged us $9 for the extra plate. So we contacted the manager and let them know we were not told of this and a meal cost $12 and they would not change the price. So we left no tip and told them we would never be back and never bring our family and we have not been back. So I highly recommend people not support places like this. That really hurt people that live in the community and support local businesses. Very rude. Very disrespectful. I'm an Air Force veteran. My dad's an army veteran. My uncle's a marine veteran just shows you what local businesses can do to hurt local people"

"My husband and I went there late afternoon early evening. We just had a believe if I remember correctly, the regular spaghetti with the meat sauce and I got to tell you, I thought it was on best red sauces I’ve ever had. The homemade pasta was hot, fresh and al dente. The service was superb."

"Our friend strongly recommended this place when we had our day trip to Omaha. You would think its a tiny place by looking from the outside. Its actually very pacious!! First comes into view is the bar. Also an area that display the history and story of the owner's family (i think). As you walk inside, there are 2 areas for dining. It's very nicely decorated. I got a fetteuccine afredo w shrimp! Its very delicious!!"

"First things first, food is top notch. I had lasagna and my wife had spaghetti with the brascioli. Both dishes were amazing. We had the house salad as well as the mozzarella sticks and a bottle of Pinot. All food was hot, fresh and most of all delicious. I think a total of four different servers stopped to check in on us during our meal. That was top notch service. I'm a little saddened to see some of these reviews with low marks, I don't think the can come close to the reality of the exceptional service and treatment we received this evening. Pictured is the lasagna prior to it being devoured. Thank you for an awesome date night and amazing meal. We can't wait to come back!"

"First time here and had an enjoyable time. The fried eggplant was spectacular, mozzarella sticks made in house are great, as was the housemade pasta. The red sauce, as other reviews stated was not great - very reminiscent of chef boyardee. The salad was way too saturated in dressing - which was way too peppered. The torte was spectacular, but the cannoli was fairly bland and unimpressive. Also, if you are hoping for gluten free options - even though the menu advertises them, we were informed by the waitress that the only things they had that were GF were "plain GF noodles, or a steak potato". Overall a good experience, but not "the best Italian " I've had in town."
