- AAngelVIPKansas City / Kansas •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoWe reserved our spot so the wait wasn’t long at all. I’d recommend not sitting anywhere near the door when it’s cold outside, including the bar area. Outside doors expose everyone at the front of the restaurant making for a uncomfortable experience. I even requested a table away from the entry and they still sat us at one of the closet tables.More infoBrio Italian Grille - Kansas City - Country Club PlazaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Plaza / Brookside•3.3
- SSueKansas City / Kansas •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoThe food and service were both excellent. We were seated immediately even with the holiday crowd. The octopus potato salad was different and very tasty! Not something you normally see on menus so we had to give it a try. The pasta trio with salad and desert was a great value. The salad was huge and the pasta choices were excellent. My husband had eggplant Parmesan and it was vey good also. Lidia’s does not disappoint and was a perfect choice for a holiday dinner with friends!More infoLidia's RestaurantPrice: Expensive• Italian• Crossroads / Freight District / Boulevard•4.7

- SScottKansas City / Kansas •2 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoDebbie was incredible. She brings a very comfy, personable vibe to the table without detracting from the higher end approach and atmosphere. That isn't easy to do. Don't know his name, but the red beard who delivered the bulk of our food did a great job describing the food and was a notable addition to the experience. One minor quibble with the food was the salt level. It could be dialed back considerably. This was agreed by all 4 members of our party. It didn't ruin our overall experience. The plating and presentations were all great. The carpaccio and scampi pasta were highlights. Overall a lovely meal, great atmosphere, and kind, attentive service from all involved.More infoLaziaPrice: Expensive• Contemporary Italian• Crossroads / Freight District / Boulevard•4.7
