CHEAP EATS: Sons of Italy [Video]

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — Sons of Italy was established in the 1920s in Omaha to help Italian immigrants adjust to life here in the U.S. The mission now for the fraternal order is to donate to charities, create scholarships and provide a place for community and family.

But as 3 News Now Anchor Serese Cole found out, what happens inside that building from September to May is one delicious and enjoyable experience.

It’s spaghetti and meatballs day at Sons of Italy.

“There’s nothing but smiles in here,” said Local Lodge President Sarah Ruma.

The tradition is 50 years old. The lunches started in 1973.

“What we did find out it was a $1.75 for a plate,” said State Lodge President Dan Matuella.

Serese: What’s the plate now?Dan: Twelve dollars. But we throw more on. They were more stingy in ’73. We’re more generous now in ’23.

Serese: How good is the spaghetti and meatballs?Dan & Sarah: Felicissimo! So good.
