“Riccos is the only place I know where I can go order a BLT the bacon is so crispy without asking for it to be prepared that way. It’s amazing! Tonight the tomatoes were clearly homegrown. It was the best BLT you can get in Kansas City. The Keylime martini is one of my favorites you can’t go wrong at Riccos.“

“outstanding food! been going here with my family probably 5 times so far and every time it is just as delicious as before. HIGHLY recommend! carbanara, lasagna, alfredo, chicken parmesean, taste of italy ...superb!“

“The Grinder Meatball sandwich is unbelievable. The Italian bread roll they use is amazing, nice and crisp exterior with a chewy inside. Then the sauce with the meatballs is incredible. Tons of flavor and worth every penny. Also had the Dr Melfi and it was also amazing. The bread is incredible and lots of flavor and tons of cheesy goodness with the chicken and pesto. Just amazing. Service was impeccable, the two gentlemen working were very friendly, courteous and excited about the fact this was a first time visit. Atmosphere is enjoyable as the weather was good since external seating is the only option. A little more ambiance with the "alley" seating could liven up the seating arrangements but overall this is an amazing place with the best Italian bread I've had this side of Philly. I didn't specifically see a Philly cheesesteak but oh my if they have one I can only imagine how amazing it is.“

“Wanna give serious kudos to the staff at this place, we had two tables of 6 walk in for a 6:45 reservation on a Saturday night and my friends booked the wrong days (totally our fault) and the host was so kind and just automatically said that she could figure it out, we just came from a full day at waterworld so we were HUNGRY haha. Loved our server Dylan and the food was freaking awesome and for the price of $22 it way exceeded my expectations! I live in foco and will absolutely be back 🙂“

“Stopped in on Monday for a quick bite to eat. I sat at the bartop. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Alexis took great care of me. She knew the menu well and provided efficient service, while also giving great food suggestions for me. The manager stopped by and introduced himself, which is always a good sign for me. I will definitely be coming back!!“

“This restaurant has now become one of our favorite Italian restaurants! We celebrated my husband birthday there and had an absolutely wonderful night, from the food, to the atmosphere, to the service! Our server Sam made our evening! He was attentive and enjoyable! We can’t wait to go back! Try it you won’t be disappointed!!“

“My son and I stopped at Tony’s after a long day of showing houses and it hit the spot! The staff was extremely friendly, and the service was on point. The bread was fresh, and the food was delicious. This was our first time at the Shawnee location and it won’t be our last.❤️“

“Great experience & I brought three pre-tweens with me. This could’ve been a terrible time anywhere but they were so thoughtful & considerate. The chef came by with treats for the kids & the food was excellent. Would def try it for a girls night.“

“Always love Olive Garden. We had 8 people and two servers. One person had the all you can eat soup and salad. He had to ask multiple times for a bowl of soup. I had to ask multiple times for water my water to be refilled. Some of the orders were wrong. But as always the food was great and the atmosphere cheery as usual.“

“It started slow, the. The manager came to our table to assure we had water. He was super friendly. We split the calamari and crab dip/toast as appetizers. We split the chicken Marsala for an entree. All food came quickly and was hot and tasty. The Marsala w the green beans and roasted mushrooms was fantastic. The mashed potatoes were smooth and creamy. It was a great experience and we will be dining there again soon. The manager made our visit super special“

“Found Avenues through a Groupon. We bought the Shrimp Boil, Filet and Shrimp Scampi, Antipasto platter, and two cannolis. The meal portions were huge, our order could have easily fed 4 people. The shrimp boil was spicy, with a lot of shrimp, potatoes, sausage, and a whole ear of corn. The filet was flavorful, and the shrimp scampi was served similar to Alfredo, it tasted so good! The antipasto platter has lots of yummy bites, I really enjoyed the salami and artichoke hearts. The cannolis were great too! They also included a little bag of decorated mini cookies, with a ribbon and Go Royals! tag. I'm sure it was part of one of the entrees we ordered, but an unexpected but delightful little bread pudding was in our ca bag as well. Food was great, portions were large, and the staff at curbside was very nice. I do wish GPS hadn't left us about halfa block away though.“

“wish I'd ate there sooner ! my new go to ! love this place“

“Originally from NYC, I know pizza, as does my wife. This is THE BEST pizza in all of Kansas City.“

“Everything was amazing! Maybe the best pasta in town. Highly recommend it“

“I went to throw something into the trash/ash can outside the front door. There were broken beer bottles in there sticking up that I didn't see. I got a small cut on my finger. Asked for a band aid and antiseptic. No one was very interested. I did get a band aid. Food was good. Service fine. I wanted desert, but it didn't come up before the end of service. I moved on.“

“We tried Imo's for the very first time tonight on our way back home. We all loved it, including our tired and picky children. The food was absolutely delicious. The restaurant was clean and looked great. The lady at the front was one of the most pleasant people we have ever met. She was very helpful, patient, and super sweet. We will definitely be back when we're in this part of Missouri.“

“This place is a gem! Everyone is so friendly, even when they are maxed out busy! The pizza is clearly made with love. The combinations are amazing! The soup is extremely delicious, and I’m a sucker for a yummy salad bar. The bacon, mac and cheese pizza is my favorite. Do yourself a favor and try this place out!“

“We came for KC Restaurant Week and 1889 did not disappoint! They have a wide selection, something for everyone in our group. Everyone was super friendly and we got our dinner quickly. Their wine recommendations were on point too. Will definitely be back again when we're in the area!“

“One of the true PBJ legends that never disappoints. We are not only fond of out menu choices but we are spoiled by incredible service the moment we enter the front doors. Ask for Larry & start off with the Gnocci. That’s the only advice I would give you. I love this place“

“Best pizza around. Always fresh and the service is great! Highly recommend!“

“Good food! Our 3 kids all have very different food preferences, and they all were happy with their dinners. The pizza crust was the right amount of chewy without being doughy, and the pizza itself was loaded with toppings.“

“The Olathe Ridgeview Minsky’s is the very best of all their locations. Brandi and her team make sure our gluten free needs are met and the pizza is always excellent! The restaurant is clean, the staff is very friendly and the kitchen team is organized and fast! We’ve tried many gluten free pizzas and restaurants but nothing compares to the Olathe Minsky’s location. We don’t order pizza anywhere else!

Dietary restrictions: The gluten free cauliflower pizza crust is excellent!!“

“Love everything about Strang hall.“

“Real food, no fillers. Specials make my day.“
