“Spent St Pats day in Parkville. Hubby stopped in here as he’s not a fan of the Irish food selections where I was celebrating.He was IMPRESSED. Very clean cute and friendly atmosphere. He enjoyed their yummy fresh club sandwich.Thanks Rosa for a super fun experience . We will be making a trip back soon from Independence.“

“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!“

“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!“

“I really love this restaurant! There's usually always good service whenever I have come here. Sometimes it can get pretty busy, but there are enough waiters to balance the rush. The ambiance is lowkey and even intimate, but comfortable and not too presumptuous. It is a nice place to enjoy a meal with another person or a small group of people, like family. The food is amazing, I have never eaten a bad meal here. I especially love the Cajun Tortellini, I could never get tired of that delectable flavor! The salmon was fantastic as well. Perfect texture and a great side of garlic whipped potatoes. Delicious! I wish I came here more often, honestly.“

“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 :)“

“We recently ordered from the catering menu for the Health Dept. They went above and beyond to make sure our catering order was correct. They also accommodated my request to pick up the order before their restaurant was open, carried the order to my car, and helped me figure out the best spot to put the lasagna so it wouldn’t get tossed around. Their portions are large and we always end up with leftovers. Will continue to order from them for our catering needs!“

“Good Mac and cheese place. We got the BBQ Mac which was of course super good. The BBB Mac which had SO MUCH bacon, it was a bit sweeter but still really good especially with all the bacon. And we got the fried Mac bites. Those were decent. Breading was super good on the and super crispy.Place is small with limited seating. Defiantly designed for the corporate clientele in the area. Self serv kiosk to order and looked to be one person behind making the food. He was supper apologetic of the wait (we didn’t wait long. Maybe 10 min). Nice little quick bite but better as take out instead of sitting to eat.“

“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!“

“So there I was. Craving Mexican pizza. This place pops up with stellar reviews for it. It was perfect. This isn’t some chain pizza place where everything is greasy and doughy. This was REAL dough bread. It was light and not greasy at all. The place was very neatly kept and clean. The staff were very pleasant and kind. And yes, the pizza was amazing. This is a mom and pop pizza shop that’s been in business since the early 70’s and they specialize in one thing. PIZZA. They’re great at it. You will not be disappointed, and I must stress that, while it’s a couple dollars more than Pizza Hut or dominoes or papa John’s, the quality is unmatched. Treat yourself.“

“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).“

“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.“

“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!“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Started at a nearby place with a long wait, so crossed the street & tried this place. We were greeted & sat immediately. It’s a pizza place, but lots of other options on the menu. We both had drinks & sandwiches. They were really, really good! The place was about half full and it was not loud at all. Overall the service was very good & the food was really tasty!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I am disappointed that they closed down so many texas toms . I don't understand it. but as always Texas Tom's has amazing food. it's just you have to drive a distance to find one. they're Italian steak sandwiches are the bomb. I definitely recommend Texas“

“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!!!!“

“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!!!“

“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!“

“So I'm not sure who's grandmother is in the back cooking, but EVERYTHING WE HAVE HAD HAS BEEN BEYOND FRESH AND DELICIOUS I'LL PUT THEIR ITALIAN SALAD UP AGAINST ANYONES IN THE WORLD. AND I MEAN THAT FROM MY TUMMY!! GO TRY THEM OUT. THE CHICKEN AND SHRIMP Spedini... HEAVEN. MEATBALL AND ITALIAN SAUSAGE... FROM God!!!“
