    I was blown away by every item we ordered. My husband, whom is super picky, was also amazed and would not stop talking about it. We ordered the insalata, focaccia Al formaggio with vodka sauce for dipping, then the agnolotti that had fennel sausage and ricotta filling with a tomato butter and chili sauce for spice. The service was a tie with the food quality. Every single staff member was wonderful and so welcoming and knowledgeable. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation here. We will be back next time in KC.

    Lidia’s KC consistently offers up great food paired with exceptional service every time we visit. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared and served promptly. There are menu items from the past that we would love to see again. We really liked the cookie plate option as one of the desserts. We also miss the soup option as an alternative to the salad course. The soups changed daily and were always a favorite. We would even order soup to go.

    We love this restaurant. First it is beautiful but not trendy. Second the execution of the food is superb. We love the fact you can find traditional menu items still (today was Steak Dianne) and even though steak is featured there is always a variety of seafood, duck and lamb. Service was excellent also. They use first rate ingredients and sauces and salad dressings are house made and exceptional.

    Fantastic experience!! Due to a change of plans, we arrived about an hour early for our reservation on Christmas Eve and they were kind enough to accommodate us right away. I also want to mention that we originally booked a standard table but the high top was even better for the views and ambiance. We sat right in front of the most beautiful mahogany bar and got to watch the bartenders climb up and down the super high ladder. The food was all exceptional but the baked pimento cheese tray was to die for. The fresh baked sourdough bread was also phenomenal. We had mostly seafood and everything was delicious.
