5 Best Italian Restaurants near Buckner

“First time diner 2 weeks ago and have returned twice since then. Staff was friendly, with the chef even coming out and addressing the guests. Along with that, I have tried several menu items, and none of them disappoint. If you are in the area, it is a must try.“

“This was our family’s first time here after living in BS for 5 years. How we passed this amazing place over and over again is beyond me. Best pizza in Blue Springs by far - true New York style pizza with superb pizza crust. The salads are fresh and crisp; this is definitely a new family favorite for us!“

“Our waitress was very friendly and accommodating. She had a very nice smile. The food came to our table really fast and everyone liked it. It is not exactly your run of The Mill Italian restaurants. They definitely have a feel of their own. I think my family could go back and have dinner here again. I kind of like to go when I'm not super hungry so I might focus a little bit more on the flavors.“

“Breadsticks are no longer free unlimited for dine in customers. It now costs $1.25, which isn't much, but made me sad. I was excited to try the new stuffed shells, and they were pretty much what I expected. The flavors were really good, with mediocre ingredients and execution. The pasta of the shells was gummy, but everything tasted good enough that it wasn't a big deal, at least for me. Without unlimited breadsticks, I may go to a better Italian restaurant and get properly cooked pasta for the same price. The cheese pizza used to be the only thing our picky kids would eat, but there was almost no cheese on it, and the crust was doughy, so sadly this is no longer on our kid- friendly list, since the only thing she'll eat now are the breadsticks.“

“I usually give chain restaurants 3-stars for consistent mediocrity from restaurant to restaurant. However, this particular OG served up a better-than-mediocre Eggplant Parmasean dish. Crunchy on the outside. Cooked perfectly within. Unusually enjoyable.I was a bit perturbed when the server asked if we'd like marinara sauce with our breadsticks. Meh. Okay. Why not? I'll tell why not. $5.00 for a thimble of (back to mediocre) marinara sauce. A camouflaged upsell!“
