Located at 12317 West Maple Road in West Omaha, Dolce serves up New American cuisine with a fine‑dining touch, often featuring seasonal and locally sourced ingredients that elevate every dish from appetizer to dessert. For an evening of curated indulgence, their Date Night prix‑fixe menu—a multi-course offering starting around $58 for two—delivers bite‑size masterpieces that balance elegance and approachability.

Chef Anthony Kueper brings global inspiration to your plate, drawing from a background that includes international kitchens and a James Beard semifinal nod. The creativity shines in dishes like charcuterie with house‑cured meats and pickled vegetables, inventive risottos, TD Niche pork with bold Asian‑influenced sauces, and pristinely seared Wagyu or flat iron cuts—each rendered artfully and deliciously.

The ambiance is quiet, intimate, and warm, perfect for a romantic evening or marking a special occasion. Rich brown tones, warm lighting, white tablecloths, and pops of lime green evoke a modern mid‑century look with subtle Japanese flair. Live music often drifts softly through the room, enriching the atmosphere without overshadowing conversation. Service is consistently praised for being polished and intuitive, with staff gliding gracefully between tables and offering thoughtful menu and wine suggestions.

Speaking of wine, Dolce boasts an impressive and affordable list curated by Chef Kueper—himself a certified sommelier. You’ll find compelling varietals and pairings you won’t see just anywhere. The bar program also delivers notable cocktails, like the popular “Jameson and the Giant Peach,” a peach‑pie‑evoking whiskey concoction, though some classics like the Old Fashioned or Horsefeather have drawn lower marks for dilution.

Adding up all these thoughtful details—the inspired cuisine, well‑crafted drinks, warm surroundings, and intuitive service—Dolce delivers spectacular food and hospitality at a more accessible price point than many comparably refined establishments. Whether it’s a meaningful night out, an anniversary, or simply a well‑deserved treat, Dolce brings a bit of the sublime to Omaha’s fine‑dining scene—with that “sweet life” appeal that makes each visit feel special.
