19 Best Italian Restaurants near Lees Summit

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

“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 ordered the Aunt Bianca for lunch, great choice, great flavor. We will be back again to try more flavors. Highly recommend The Local Pizzeria... 10/10!🍕“

“I enjoy this place when I'm in the mood for a neapolitan pizza close to home. Recently I tried the hot honey pepperoni and as a pineapple on pizza guy I enjoyed the creativity behind it, and the salty/sweet profile. The pizza is cooked near a big open flame so there will be some charring, it's part of the allure, it's not burnt. I got a kick out of reading some of the recent one star reviews about this place. Seems to me like there are too many gluten intolerant Karens in the area, so keep an eye out for that. Service for me has mostly been good, but they do employ the youth and it's true that you'll occasionally come across an inattentive server or a cashier that tries to avoid taking your order. Would be nice to have a few tvs in the dining area.“

“I'm only in Missouri once in a great while, and this place is definitely good. Some of the best pizza I've had! I will say the prices are slightly high, but I'm good to pay those prices if the quality keeps up. Thanks for a good experience!“

“Incredible authentic Italian food! Best in the entire state“

“Great date night, atmosphere was romantic and waitress friendly and on point. Thanks Claudia for taking care of us! Food was great from appetizer, salad and seafood pasta entrees, but the best tiramisu ever! Beyond what we ever expected in the strip mall with a grocery store. Definitely adding it to favorite Italian restaurant list of all travels.“

“Ate lunch there today! Most excellent Ziti. Sauce was great!“

“Absolutely the BEST Italian food in Independence! The food is exquisite the service is perfect. PAOLA is great! The food is not freezer to fryer, like the place west of this location.“

“Our favorite!!! My husband and I love the private dining room and the service is amazing! 😊“

“We couldn’t express enough about Spencer and all he done for us! Super sweet, nice and on top of it all!! You couldn’t ask for a better server! If we are ever back in the Blue Springs area again. We will be asking for his section!! Food was delicious as well! Go enjoy one of the best servers around and ask for his section!! You won’t be disappointed!“

“I've been coming here for several years and always enjoy the fresh spaghetti sauce, piping hot bread sticks that are hands down best in the metro. The folks behind the counter are patient with me and always accommodating. It's a nice clean place to dine with my friends weekly. I come here because I have a salt problem and their food isalot less salty than most fast foods.“

“I haven’t been to Fazolis in nearly 20 years and decided to try it again today. My family was impressed with the quality, taste and value for what we got. We ate the cheese pizza, spaghetti, Alfredo and an Italian sub. We ordered it online ahead of time and they had it waiting for us on time. We will be returning!“

“Great customer service! Kind, friendly staff“

“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!“

“Shoutout to Marquis (I think that was the name!) or whoever reached out to me. I had ordered via Olive Garden's website for delivery.

I was notified an hour after ordering that the first driver picked up the order and then stole the order. The staff remade the order as quick as possible and resolved the issue. While it was a longer wait, everything arrived hot and as expected.

Thank you for not dismissing the second driver that was waiting!“

“Never had a cold pizza, always hot fresh and delicious! the crab rangoon pizza is fire!! Everything is good and an inexpensive way to treat my family to carry out or delivery.“

“⸻ Absolutely love Sal’s Pizza! The crust is perfectly chewy, the cheese is rich and flavorful, and the slices are always generous. Feels like an authentic New York-style experience every time. Fast service and consistently great quality—highly recommend! 🍕✨“
