Although Kansas City is known for their deliciously smoked and spiced BBQ places & sauces, you don't want to miss out on some of KC's finest Italian restaurants. From fine dining to quick grab & go, there are plenty of places to grab a tasty Italian meal in KC.
Garozzo's
Located: 526 Harrison St, Kansas City, MO 64106
A city favorite, loved by locals and tourists! Pop open a bottle of wine, dip some toasted raviolis in their tasty marinara, and/or enjoy homemade pasta sauces. Garozzo's is perfect for a date or family dinner. I highly recommend trying the Chicken Vincenzo...chicken, mushrooms, and linguini in a creamy sauce..YUM!
Trezo Mare
Located: 4105 N Mulberry Dr, Kansas City, MO 64116
Trezo Mare is located in the Briarcliffe shopping district and offers a lot of delicious dishes. Dishes below: Fusilli Shrimp Diablo pasta dish (with fettuccini noodles substituted) and the Shrimp & Risotto dish. You can add a side salad for only $5! The environment was beautiful inside and the service was spectacular. Highly recommend eating at Trezo Mare in Kansas City!
Jovito's
Located: 7408 Wornall Rd, Kansas City, MO 64114
Jovito's is a quant and delicious Italian cafe & deli in the Waldo/Brookside area. I live in the area and anytime I'm craving a fresh salad or homemade marinara sauce, I know I can count on Jovito's! I love their homemade tomato meat sauce and Greek salad. Make sure to try their cheesecake....amazing!! The seating is limited t outdoors, but you can always take the food to go and enjoy it in the comfort of your own home.
Carmen's Cafe
Located: 6307 Brookside Plaza, Kansas City, MO 64113
This Italian restaurant is located in the Brookside neighborhood of Kansas City. It is tucked in between several other amazing spots to grab food in this cute & quaint neighborhood. I had visited Carmen's Cafe on a birthday dinner with some family. The seafood pasta did NOT disappoint.
Lidia's
Located: 101 W 22nd St, Kansas City, MO 64108
Lidia's is easily my favorite place and top recommendation in Kansas City for people visiting the area. I always tell friends or family to eat at Lidia's if they are coming to town.
Imagine this: ordering a pasta trio entree...and you can eat as much as you want of it because it's UNLIMITED! For $24, you can eat unlimited samplings of the chefs daily menu at Lidia's
Are finished all of the food on your plate but want more?? Fear not! The chefs bring out hot pans loaded with more pasta to fill your plate. Make sure to start off your meal with one of their many appetizers. Our table started with the happy hour ravioli and Fritto Misto appetizers. We also split a fresh Caesar salad along with the house bread and oil. If you still have room, end your meal with the strudel dessert!
Cupini's
Located: 1809 Westport Rd, Kansas City, MO 64111
I unfortunately don't have any pictures saved of my meal at Cupini's which is SOOOOO very unfortunate! One of my good friends lived right near Cupini's so we would also grab a meal at this place if we were craving some freshly made pasta. The toasted raviolis were a fan favorite as well!
Brio Italian Grille
Located: 502 Nichols Drive, Kansas City, MO 64112
One of my first meals in Kansas City was at Brio Italian Grille in the Plaza area of Kansas City! If you are looking for a sophisticated place for a date, birthday, or important event, Brio is a fantastic place to celebrate at. You MUST start your meal with their calamari appetizer which comes with two different sauces to dip the calamari in. The Pasta alla Vodka is my favorite pasta dish at Brio....10/10 recommend!
Below are more Italian restaurants known in the KC area. Once I visit these places, I'll update the post with more information and pictures. Stay tuned!
