Circo
A dark, stylish Italian-leaning restaurant and bar at 192nd and Q in Elkhorn with handmade pastas, steaks and a good happy hour.
Circo is an Italian restaurant in West Omaha at 19102 Q Street, describing itself as a chef-driven place with fresh pasta and exceptional hospitality. The website does not name the chefs or owners, but it links to a staff page and offers a chef tasting menu, private dining, gift cards and monthly wine tastings.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 am to 10 pm, with last seating at 9 pm, and walk-ins are welcome. Reservations are available through the website. It is a wine-forward room with a bar, and its menu pairs cocktails and an Italian wine list to the kitchen's pastas and steaks.
Starters include fried dough with burrata, arancini, calamari and mushroom bruschetta. Pastas range from cacio e pepe and carbonara to a lasagna and tagliatelle di mare. Entrees include dry-aged steaks, beef Wellington, beef tips with gnocchi and salmon, with tiramisu and limoncello cake for dessert. A lunch sandwich menu runs from 11 to 4.
Circo is a good pick for date nights, small celebrations and visitors who want handmade pasta without going downtown. The site lists a happy hour, but the posted times are unclear, so confirm by phone. Online takeout ordering is also available, and family-meal bundles for two, four or six have appeared on the ordering page.
