19 Best Italian Restaurants near Shawnee

“I had not been to Fazoli's in YEARS, but I decided to give it a try because it's close to my new job. I got the spaghetti with meatballs and a slice of pepperoni pizza, and everything was delicious! I was even impressed by the service. It was a young guy named Joseph who really should be working in a full-service restaurant because he would make great money.

If you're craving Italian food for lunch and you don't want to spend a lot of money or time, Fazoli's is the place!“

“We ordered catering for the Wellsville Football Team Dinner. It was amazing. Sami was awesome in helping order and getting things together/time pick up. Highly recommend Toni’s. We love coming here for dinners and it was for catering too!“

“Friends took me out for my 91st birthday and I requested Paulo's. Been there many times for 45 years. Always order chicken Piccata. Had garlic bread which was excellent. My order came and There was about a full cup of mashed potatoes with a small chicken breast on it. About 2". Chicken was not very tender and I ate the lunch in about 5 bites. Cost $16. no veggies or salad. Gentleman came over and asked how everything was and I told him . Portion was so small. He was very nice and took my lunch price off the bill. I will be back one more time because I really always liked it there. Also had lunch at 2:30 and no one else there but 3 people at the bar. I hope there is some improvement in the portions of some memu items in the future.“

“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!“

“Cheesy bread is out of this world!!! Gotta get romesean on your crust. Love this place!“

“By honoring the coupon they gave me. It was two small single pies for $20.00 when I got there they had two large pizzas and charged me $38.00 ? And gave me a really lame excuse. I worked in the pizza business myself and have never experienced anything like this.. been ordering pizza there since the 1970's, you lost a lifetime customer...“

“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.“

“I cannot begin to tell you how truly incredible our experience was, but I'll do my best. First off the food was perfection. I got the Ribeye, Harrison got the Italian sausage stuffed mushrooms and mom got the cedar plank Salmon. ALL OF US were BEYOND thrilled with our meals. Everything was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The olive oil provided for the bread was amazing as well. What made the experience even better was our waitress Amy June. She was so personable, so knowledgeable, and made great recommendations. She made it a PERFECT evening! Don't let the fact it's located in a hotel fool you... it's definitely a 5 star experience.“

“I don’t come here often, but my lady loves it! So I made a sacrifice and oh my gosh! I’m impressed! The soup was great! My dinner came out so hot and fresh I was able to cut my broccoli with a BUTTER KNIFE! It was that tender! Shout out to ROBIN for the five star service!“

“Food is beyond delicious! The atmosphere is wonderful and staff couldn't be better. The wait to be seated and for our food to be brought out was well worth it. Honestly, the wait was extremely quick for the fact that everything is homemade from scratch. The food is packed with flavor, fresh, and filling. Highly recommend that you try out Bella's.“

“Usually great food, and we est here often. However, last week we were 100% dissatisfied! First, the entire meal was late, they had to substitute knots for garlic bread, waited forever and the calzone had literally one piece of meat about 1"x1.5" and what looked like a mozzarella stick for cheese. The meal was gross, late, over cooked and not what we ordered or paid for. So disappointed. Since it is a long drive we regularly make I doubt we will be returning. $34 meal wasted.“

“Our food was served promptly, hot and delicious. My husband had Steak Gargonzola Alfredo and I had Shrimp Alfredo, which I was very pleased they were able to substitute peppers for asparagus at my request. Raylee, our waitress tonight, was absolutely amazing, always smiling, very pleasant, open and friendly, and extremely attentive. She checked on us multiple times throughout our dinner. Raylee has superb customer service skills and this girl deserves a bonus! We left her with a hefty tip...worth every cent for someone who brightens your evening! 😊“

“Excellent pizza. Their weekly special pizzas are always great. Many options have local ingredients. Friendly employees and reasonable prices. De Soto is lucky to have such great local pizza.“

“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.“

“We stop in at least once a week. We love Vicki and the staff. The new pizza chef has brought the good pizza back to great. Our favorites are all meat and combo, and we love wings and a salad on game night. Don't miss out on this cozy home town treasure!“

“Great food and service!!!“

“I have ordered Minsky's pizza for carryout many times over the years but never actually at inside of one. Their sit down menu is huge and a solid beer selection. We got the Thai pizza. That have the usual pizza flavors as well as some exotic ones.“

“They use real ingredients and you can taste the difference! The pizza gets loaded up, you’re not just eating crust.“
