    Delicious food; very nice atmosphere; excellent service. The waiter was very attentive and helpful with recommendations and sharing. I had the duck which was amazing, and my wife had the pasta tasting menu that she thoroughly enjoyed. Overall great experience.

    My husband and I travel from Wilmington, Illinois just to eat at Lidia’s and they never disappoint. Everything from the complimentary bread to the homemade limoncello with the absolutely delicious dessert was over the top fantastic. Our waitress actually resembled Lidia Bastianich and she told us that people have told her that before. She was extremely personable and anticipated our needs well. Can’t wait until our next visit.

    Impressive service and delicious food. The entire table of 6 ordered the Chef's pasta trio which was unending pasta featuring Bolognese, red sauce penne with shrimp, and cheese stuffed ravioli with a pear hint in the cacio e pepe sauce. Starting with an abundant Cesar salad serving for each person and delicious rosemary focaccia bread with their unique bread dipping plates that included spreads of a kalamata olive blend and the other a basil pesto blend drizzled with the best olive oil. Reasonably priced wines under $40 to share with friends through each course. Finish dinner with a light tiramisu sitting on a homemade chocolate sauce or another table favorite the light lemon dessert. Must try espresso martinis served in beautiful coup stemware with espresso beans sitting delicately on the foam. If coffee is not your thing the lemoncello will seal the night. Classy service, never rushed, and well attended. Must try in KC!

    The atmosphere was lovely. The food was delicious. Our server seemed extremely put out with us since we were not ready to order the times she came by. We were enjoying our cocktails and appetizers. She was rude and very short with us. Walking away at one point when I asked for a few minutes more. I think patience in an upscale restaurant is important. I would dine here again, but possibly sit at the bar.
