    I really enjoyed my food and drinks! I wish we had more attention from the server but she did hand large tables, plus us a 2 top. She made it up in the end, so that was nice! Food was amazing

    we have always had a great experience at Lidia's. The guest we had with use from Seattle enjoyed the experience and indicated he would recommend Lidia's to other travelers visiting the KC area.

    The experience at Lidia's was exceptional - ambience, food and service. The prosciutto and burrata appetizer, with fig jam, was delightful. The ceasar salads were HUGE and easily shareable. The Osso Buco, gnocchi and ravioli with pear and cheese were truly exceptional! To enjoy the desserts we needed to take away some of our entrees. The flourless chocolate cake and the streusel did not disappoint!

    Being hearing impaired, I appreciate their willingness to place us at a quiet corner table. Beautiful dinner with delicious flavors! Tremendous wine selection too! We appreciate spending all our special celebrations here and look forward to it every year!
