“Fantastic restaurant with great food! Very affordable. The staff was terrific. It was so nice to actually get a jar of Parmesan cheese for a change and a normal size napkin! Their chicken is not full of gristle. The other local Italian restaurants started skimping during the pandemic and never stopped.“

“We had Garozzo’s cater our rehearsal dinner at Boulevard Brewing. From the very beginning they were extremely helpful getting the entire dinner together. They held a tasting at their restaurant downtown, where we were able to sample a lot of their different courses on their catering menu. This was a great way to find exactly what we wanted for our rehearsal dinner. The food was absolutely fantastic and they were constantly in touch with us through the entire process. They kept us up to date through the event. We highly recommend Garozzo’s to anyone needing any event catered.“

“My grandmother and I came in early in the evening. We were guided to a table almost immediately despite not having a reservation and the seat was nice because we got a good view of everything happening around us. Our server went above and beyond: constantly checking in if we needed anything and asking how the food tasted as well as boxing up our food for us. The food was extraordinarily delicious, definitely not store bought sauce! I kept thinking how I’d love to bring more of my family in the future. Thank you for a great meal and excellent service!“

“At the moment I have to say favorite place in KC. So rare to find staff that love their job and deliver excellent service. Amazing food, drinks, and experience. Reminds me of something I’d find in a place like South Beach (and would be 4 times the price there :)“

“Well hot damn. That was one of the best sandwiches I have had in a long time. We had the day off work and made the trek up North to try this gem. The restaurant was adorable, clean, and cozy. The service was helpful and friendly. The chicken bacon club sandwich was incredible. The chicken parm was equally as delicious. I cannot wait to try more of their sandwiches!“

“Two nights in a row to determine a full visibility of the atmosphere and food. The tranquillity of the atmosphere is so unique.The waiters are in sync; one would be overwhelmed with the constant “how’s the food tasting”; not here the time is given for me to take a bite to take in the flavors of the meal. Chicken fried chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans (awesome choice)first time . The chicken wings second night, were not a selection I would have expected; bland the chicken also had a smell outside of the buffalo sauce. The first night the lettuce was brown. I picked through it not the second night. When I conveyed my thoughts on the chicken wings I allowed the waitress to choose another quick meal selection such between the Spicy Italian and the Bistro Club. I received the Bistro Club. This choice came with chips and pickle on the side; delicious. Overall it is a great place to eat with the family; date night or self.“

“I was in downtown yesterday and had to try something different, and so I opted to try this KC Mac place. I looked at the menu and the siracha mac and cheese with honey sounded really good and it was. I was not disappointed with my choice. I did only pick up from this store. The store itself is very small and I don't believe it's ideal to sit and eat. This is definitely a good option for people who work downtown and want a hearty lunch.“

“I purchased the frozen meatballs, pasta sauce, cannoli shells and filling, salami, olives and provolone. I can’t say enough about the wonder flavors of everything. Even my most picky eaters gobbled down the meatballs and sauce to my delight. These were excellent additions to my Christmas Eve family dinner. I will definitely return but won’t wait for a holiday. Way too good to wait!“

“The first bite of the mushroom doughnuts with taleggio sauce sealed my positive review of @bar.medici in pen. This chewy not-quite-doughnut-texture bread bite is dusted with umami and dunked in the highest end of "cheese dips." 11/10. Worth going here for the cocktails and this. The salad escarole was great too though: one of those dishes that tastes like each individual ingredient at its peak, with plenty of salt and deep fried bacon bits. The spaghetti a la chittara was good: delicate, perfectly cooked noodles, the right hint of crab, and the Aleppo pepper dust on top is brilliant. I would have taken a bit more creaminess/sauce (I am a sauce girl, after all). The gelato was so much better (and bigger) than I expected. It's indescribably creamy as only the best European gelatos are and the flavor is at 11. The pistachio gelato isn't so much pistachio-flavored cream as it is a ball of creamy, cold, intense pistachio flavor. So good, but the toasted marshmallow was even better: a few crumbles of graham cracker to give crunch to the perfectly smooth gelato. 10/10 The cocktails were wonderful. On par with the other members of this restaurant/bar group with creative flavor pairings and beautiful presentation. I think my favorite was the Tribune (rye, gin, fig, thyme, cider), which the server said was oddly like a Jack and Coke (and she was right). We also had the focaccia, which was just ok (I would have rather had 3 more doughnuts!), the beef tartare (which I couldn't taste any of the truffle or egg yolk in, so it wasn't really as rich as I hoped), the sword fish (perfectly cooked but the sauce is really the star -- you could just eat the greens and sauce and it would hold all of its appeal), and a lovely little roulette of beef in a spicy tomato based sauce. Service was attentive (beware, they'll take your plate before you finish swiping up the yummy sauce!), and we didn't feel rushed at all. We also got plenty to eat and didn't spend quite as much as I expected (I expected the $$$$, haha).“

“For the price it's hard to beat the amount of food you get at Anthony's. My wife and I enjoyed our dinner here- since we arrived during a thunderstorm the restaurant was empty when we arrived. It filled up some as we dined but can't imagine it's hard to get a table on a Friday night. Italian food normally isn't my favorite but I enjoyed my chicken spiedini immensely. I also liked the KC jazz appetizer to dip the delicious bread in. We will definitely be back!“

“Italian Gardens, what can I say? I grew up eating at this place. The meatballs in sauce transported me back to when I was child.❤️I truly enjoyed my sub sandwich and my kids loved the pizza. I am glad I was able to show the kids a slice of my childhood.Thanks John David. It was. Pleasure meet you.“

“Exceptional service, wide menu choices, delicious cauliflower crust pizza, and very fun atmosphere! We enjoyed the magician! The servers went out of their way to help us celebrate a special occasion. Thank you for the flower, Rosa!Dietary restrictions: Great gluten-free options! Separate GF menu.“

“If you are trying to find a nice Italian restaurant that is worth the money, this is it. Lidia's has a gorgeous dining room and building. The food is really high quality. Only complaint I had was that the all you can eat pasta took a while to get refills. It took about 30 minutes between refills which just really drags out the dinner by the end of it. But with good company, this may not be an issue for you!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So close by … we heard so many great things and they were right! The staff was so friendly and welcoming and the food was great. The lasagna was delicious and not heavy at all. The sauce had a sweet taste to it and the Italian sub spectacular! Great portions and well priced. Apparently this spot is an icon and well deserved status!“

“It was busy so we sat at the bar, and we're very glad we did. It was our first visit to Luigi's and the bartender Thomas did a great job. His suggestions for apps, dinner and wine were excellent. His service was top notch and personality wonderful. Not Everly attentive, but very helpful. We'll definitely be going back. Great job Thomas, thanks for making our experience so great.“

“I brought a group of family and friends to Sunday Supper to celebrate my birthday this year. I cannot say enough good things about it. The restaurant is beautiful, the service was great, and the food was phenomenal. It's an incredible deal for the price. We were all very impressed and would love to visit again.“

“The waiting time for this Olive Garden was very quick despite it being very busy. The hardest part it seems was finding parking as it is next to a very busy Hy-Vee and you may find yourself fighting for a spot.The service was acceptable and the food and appetizers came out in a very timely manner.The servers and staff were kind and willing to answer any questions we had and even for how busy it was, we were still given adequate attention.While there is not much the Olive Garden can do about this, the spacing and dining can be a little to close and cramped for people moving about the hall. Besides that, great experience.“

“I can't believe it has taken me this long to write this review. This place is the go-to for my husband and I. We love the food (esp. the brunch), and drinks, but the real standout is the service. We love sitting at the bar and always hope that Christopher is working. He is hands down one of the best bartenders I have ever encountered. He is so friendly and professional. His recommendations never disappoint and he makes the best drink I have ever had (the spicy pear martini). The other bartenders and servers are great as well, but Christopher really stands out. You can tell he takes so much pride in his work and makes the already great experience at Trezo Mare that much better.“

“If you are looking for a great option as a late night snack at your wedding then I highly suggest you book with Minsky's Pizza Truck. As a wedding planner, Minsky's made my clients and their guests SO happy to arrive at the end of the night! They were also very easy to work with, were on time, and were very flexible with any changes made. Thank you, Minsky's! -Heather, TPTKC“

“This place is always delicious! You always wait to have your food made to order and it’s always piping hot! They have some delicious cheesy garlic bread and their Alfredo sauce is something I usually crave every couple months. It is a little pricey for a lunch but we usually get salads too. I have never had any food from this place that was not great! The service is always very friendly as well!“

“Got delivery and the pizza was ok. For a specialty pizza and the price I paid, I expected a bit more. The crust was a bit well-done and the toppings were scarce. Their saving grace was the salad which was fantastic. Unfortunately, they did not include utensils in my bag which was a minor inconvenience, especially for a takeout order.“

“It is a chill place I never get tired of this place it has so much to choose from. The manager Anthony and the cook John make some fire pizza. They take big orders as well and get it done right the first time.Parking: Small lot but you can park on the street.“

“Nice little Italian joint. Got my pasta fix. Very good for the pallets. Only downside is, it is a little out of the way, unless you're on this side of the neighborhood. The breads were really good, olive oil spices needs more flavor.Vegetarian options: Keto options. I didn't get keto, but they have some veggie pasta available.“

“We were in town for a volleyball tournament, and on our first night, we finished practice late and were looking for a spot to eat for the team.We had a group of 10 players plus their parents. They were very accommodating and got a spot ready for us right away. Service, food, and drinks were great!“

“Excellent Italian food! Good service. Everybody that I ever dealt with that works there has always been kind and professional! I am a born and raised Italian from New York City... and this place is as close to home as I can get for Italian food!!!“

“My family and I were craving pizza, so we headed out to Minskys. While we were driving there, it started to snow. Minskys was understaffed due to the road conditions, yet they made us feel welcome and took good care of us. We kept warm and had a great lunch. Thanks so much Minskys!!!!“

“I eat here a lot! I really love how they have a variety of different foods! The best part is that they deliver with a phone call, and take cash!! Very convenient if you don't have a debit card! My favorite is the Italian steak sandwich! Sooo good! ??“

“I was so hungry that I forgot to take a picture of the main dish.Today, my server was Ruby.She was really kind and perfect.I want to keep praising her!The restaurant was clean overall, so I felt good!From now on, I only want to come to Olive Garden here in Kansas City!“

“Amazing food and exceptional service! Brittany and Ava provided such great service, so welcoming and provided excellent suggestions! We went with fried zucchini, Caesar salad and fettuccine pesto with chicken! Highly recommended! We will definitely be back to try more of their delicious dishes!“

“Super impressed with the customer service. Walked in last night to get a pizza not realizing it was close time. And the whole team was more than willing to work late just to make us our food. Of course we weren't going to ask them to stay late on a Friday night for us. It was just the thought that counted. They were so kind and curtious. ?“

“My name is Graham and I love spin pizza I eat it every day witch is why I have type5 diabetes and corona virus but it was worth it I am now 500 pounds and am suicidal and I am also in a mental hospital now because I was getting to big and I'm also a fortnite addict“
