17 Best Italian Restaurants near Blue Springs

“First time last night and exceeded expectations. The shrimp alfredo and shrimp alvino were excellent. My son and I shared the chocolate layer cake that was decadent. Tracy our waitress was phenomenal. She gave us recommendations and definitely a list that we will be trying on our many return visits. So happy we have a top quality restaurant in Blue Springs with an excellent price point. Highly recommend, love everything including the music and ambiance. 10/10!“

“I had such a great experience at Olive Garden! From the moment we walked in, everything felt welcoming. The restaurant was spotless — nice, clean, and well-kept — which always makes a difference when you’re dining out.

On our previous visit, Ashley absolutely made the evening with her friendly and attentive service.

This time, we came back today and were lucky enough to have Audrey as our waitress — and she was every bit as amazing. Audrey is a genuinely pleasant, personable, and hard-working server who clearly takes pride in what she does. She greeted us with a warm smile, made us feel right at home, and stayed on top of everything without ever being intrusive. Her kindness and professionalism really stood out, and it made the whole experience feel even more special.

The food was delicious (love that never-ending soup, salad, and breadsticks!), and everything came out hot, fresh, and exactly as ordered on both visits. But the service is what keeps this location feeling top-tier. Whether it was Ashley before or Audrey today, the staff here truly goes above and beyond.

Jeremy whom is a manager was so kind and genuine. I could talk to him for days about life and projects but alas there’s work to be done!

All in all, another wonderful experience. Big thanks to Audrey, Ashley, and the entire Olive Garden team for consistently making each visit enjoyable. I’ll definitely be back!“

“Just a random lunch stop. They have at the moment a pick 2 with a drink. My son being autistic only eats certain foods. This was a great idea and the food was amazing for a quick pick. Will be coming back to this location again. Great job team...“

“Vito's has an amazing lunch special every day for just $10 - you get a huge slice of pizza, salad, and drink! Vito himself is still running the place with his son and an excellent crew! You won't be disappointed!“

“Best pizza so far in Lee Summit. Chicken Parmigiana tastes great.“

“We just went for a birthday lunch today as always the staff is always friendly and the food is amazing.“

“First timers and absolutely coming back! Fantastic food from the appetizer to the salad to the melt in your mouth steak. 😍“

“The Olive garden has changed.... I enjoyed eggplant parmigiana huge proportion with spaghetti and red sauce on the side freshly baked hot steaming breadsticks along with a crispy fresh salad. This single entree did put a dent in my pocketbook so be prepared. My family was also with me and the bill was just under $100 that was for four of us with cocktails. Are server Cynthia was a number one in her service very professional and that made the whole experience . We were Sat by the fireplace which was actually very cozy but it was a little bit crowded and too many kids hollering for my taste. Just the same you should really check it out if you're looking for something special I guarantee you're going to have a delicious meal . On another note the constructing an Olive garden in Belton and I'm so excited !!!!
Enjoy your day or evening at Olive 🫒 Garden.... I sure did

“We had a family Christmas dinner for 22 over the holidays at Cafe Verona. The food was excellent, and the service was impeccable. Our incredible server, Andy, was attentive to the needs of the adults, teens, and children at all times! He truly made the special evening a success! Everything was set up early, including items for the children, to keep their attention and maximize the time together as a family. All of the dishes were outstanding, and my personal favorite was the mushroom lover's pasta and the lasagna (for my husband). The appetizers of house made hummus, garlic bread, and calamari were also enjoyed by all! If you have not tried Cafe Verona, give it a whirl. You will not regret the decision. Also, take a stroll around the beautiful historic Independence Square and enjoy the scenery, history, and wonderful shops. Show less Date of visit: December 2023“

“Great customer service! Kind, friendly staff“

“food was great when we got it we did the never ending pasta and it took the server quite a while to bring us refills on pasta breadsticks drinks etc so we finally just gave up and left because we were clearly weren't getting refills on any more food after the second time“
