Reviews for Casa Bovina in Lincoln, NE
Arguably the greatest new place to eat in Nebraska. The Piedmontese beef is amazing. The Mercato (butcher shop) below the... restaurant is a must visit while you are there. Have enjoyed the tasting menu twice and recommend that approach to explore thediversity of food prepared and talent of the kitchen staff. Read more
We got the chance to enjoy a dinner at Casa Bovina (finally). This place has been high on our list for awhile as we love a fine... dining/European atmosphere. The estate itself is sleek and reminded me of wineries i?ve seen during travels. As you ascended tothe second floor you?re welcomed into the open concept layout - this part literally made my jaw drop. Our server Pat wasoutstanding, although we knew coming in we were going for the tasting menu - his delicious descriptions really sold usover. Here?s my highlights: This place is the complete definition of gastronomic dining. The courses are masterfully thoughtout and prepared and that?s evident in the photos. Each course truly made us sit back and think about what we were eating and tome - is the essence of a true dining experience. The tasting menu frequently changes but i?ll tell you we attempted to lick ourplates clean each course... Don?t expect to finish your meal in an hour here simply because it?s not meant to. Enjoy theatmosphere, the front row view of the kitchen, table side pasta making and relish in this absolute GEM we have inLincoln. Thank you again Casa Bovina for an outstanding night. Read more
I've eaten at plenty of fine dining establishments across multiple countries. This is right up there. Approachable fare at... premium quality. High levels of service and presentation. Expect to spend $100 per person minimum, easily more if you choose awine pairing option. It will be worth every penny. Lincoln is lucky to have this dining option! Read more
We had their tasting menu and it was beautifully presented. The execution is beautifully, food has different textures and... flavor. Very good experience. Very happy with our service too. They have a cute little grocery shop downstairs, worth checkingout too. Read more

Everything about this place was beyond expectations. The waitstaff was angelic, that wanted to serve you, and knew exactly how... too. There was absolutely nothing they couldn't help you find to enjoy your evening more. Their expertise was at the upmost andwas clearly visible from start to finish. The cocktails were crafted with excellent taste, may I suggest the piedmont sour. Thisdoesn't even get us to the beginning of the meal. Without spoiling the entire experience let me say this, if you could try itall, you wouldn't find yourself disappointed. The steaks there are the corner stone of the meal, by the time you've made yourway to them don't be surprised if hours may have passed. It is as if time stand still here. Breaking the glass ceiling of worldclass dining in Lincoln, NE happened when Casa Bovina entered the scene. Thanks to the Chef Todd who inspired the great meal,Bennett who crafted the best in class cocktails, and of course Tatum our wonderful waitress who felt like family by the end.Casa Bovina you've done it and very very well.

I am by no means a foodie. In reality I am more of a fast food drive through type fella. I am a highly picky person so I stick... with what I know. But last night I had the opportunity to go to casa bovina to celebrate my new engagement with my new fiance.The atmosphere in the place is amazing, calm and warm. It's very neat to watch the hustle of the chefs making sure everything isperfect before it goes out. Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable and overall amazing. Now, the food... Again I'm ahighly picky person , but this was the most amazing food I've ever had. I totally understand why food people become food people.My fiance had the filet mignon that you could cut with a fork and it melted in your mouth. It made my eyes roll if you get me.The potato puree with it was silky, smooth and super buttery. The broccolini and brussel sprout opened my eyes to how goodveggies actually can be. I personally at the crab rigatoni. It was beyond amazing. It was so delicate and the crab was sodelicious. The pasta was cooked to perfection and it had this small salty cruch on top that you got with every bite. It added atexture I didn't know pasta needed. And the sauce it was in was creamy, complex, and tantalizing. I thought about licking myplate. Not to dive into everything we had but I highly recommend the steak tartar as well. My first time having that and willnot be my last! Dessert was a perfect way to wrap up a perfect dining experience. The apple eclair was soft, moist but notoverly sweet. And the pear sorbetto was unexpected. It was light and crisp. Followed by the crumble at the bottom... I couldn'tstop eating. Any ways. It was a night to remember and will recommend to anyone I see or know. 10/10 Read more
