We really enjoyed our lunch here the other day. We had always heard how great the fried chicken is, so we went for the Tuesday lunch special (they do have fried chicken for dinner every evening too). The fried chicken is very good. Well seasoned and not greasy. The lunch came with 3 pieces of chicken, a scoop of green beans (has bacon and onion in it fyi) and a scoop of their delicious mashed potatoes with white creamy gravy (no pepper, more cheesy, so good). I do wish they gave you a bit more of the sides, but it was a good amount for the $ at lunch. Appreciate the bread and butter as you wait for the meal. Our server and everyone we interacted with were so nice. The space is very cozy and comfortable. We definitely plan to go back for dinner soon, as we hadn't been here for many years? read more

Cascone's is one of Kansas City's oldest Italian restaurants. It's been around forever. A recent visit was a little all over the place. After a small, but expected Saturday night wait, we were sat in the main dining room. Our server arrived after a bit to take our drink order. Our waters were delivered before we ordered our appetizers, but my friend's glass of wine never made it. No biggie stuff happens. We ordered an appetizer and our dinners at the same time. The fried mozzarella was fantastic. Our dinners looked good, but they were wrong. Again, no biggie. After a short wait, our dinners arrived along with my friend's glass of wine. She said she was okay and didn't need it, but the server insisted and said he'd make sure it wasn't included in the bill - except it was. Dinner was great. Just like we expected... except we had to wait for our check and some to-go containers. Every day isn't an A day and that's okay. Like I wrote above, stuff happens. That's life. I still think Cascone's food is really good and that you should give them a try. read more

Authentic Italian, Warm Hospitality, in a Timeless Atmosphere. This gem is a time capsule. The walls are covered with family pictures and the menu is traditional. Carrie took care of us and she is attentive and delightful! Bread and Butter arrive out complementary. We upgraded by ordering the Sicilian oil and Garlic. We shared a wedge salad before out entrees arrived. The salads are huge, sharing is definitely the correct path. For dinner i selected to Lemony chicken Picata. It was light and flavorful. The pasta was a great accent to the chicken and the citrus was the dominant flavor, in the best way! My friend loved the gnocchi. The potato Dumplings were large and fluffy. Dessert was exquisite. We shared a huge piece of the Berry Cream Torte. read more

Back again! I've been thinking about this place since our last work trip. This time, you had changed the February lighting with some fun and beautiful Valentine's Day streamers. It added a lot to the dining experience - just looking at the festive decorations made me happy and excited for the meal, even more than I was. Once again, staff were friendly, smiling, helpful, and made us feel right at home! I love great service with a great meal, and they absolutely gave us that. I ordered the gnocchi with vodka sauce and two meatballs. The gnocchi are simply HEAVEN. They are the best I've had since my trip to Italy. No lie. They are so soft, like savory little, melty potato marshmallows. I'd love to know how they make them. And the meatballs - absolutely get two and add them to the dish! It's a perfect combo. Our host also ordered an antipasti platter for us, which was fantastic! It had two kinds of olives, mini roasted peppers, marinated olive oil, and cheese cubes. That along with the warm, soft, Italian bread with butter was a perfect start to the meal. I also had the Tiramisu for dessert. After the amazing meal I'd already had, it was a labor of love., but I ate Every. Last. Bite. Until we meet again, Cascone's, I'll be dreaming of you and the gnocchi pillows. read more

In town and stopped here for dinner. Casual atmosphere, excellent food, and Sal was my waiter, and he was very pleasant, always kept drinks refilled, and was the best. Highly recommend this place read more

Best Italian in KC. Their marinara sauce is incredible and so is their lasagna! Highly recommend!

Excellent service, not something I find myself saying to often post pandemic. Truly appreciate how kind and even excited to have us. Get the giant meatball stuffed with cheese, it's crazy delicious. Beautifully kept space, it's an older building with renovations that kept its history. Lots of family pictures that tell the story of a wonderfully big Sicilian family. Full of wonderful character and my favorite smell...sautéed garlic! Served with warm bread and butter, don't pass on the wine and your in for a treat, Entry has small but colorful garden, (memorial day weekend), nice big parking lot. Soft jazz plays. My new favorite spaghetti and meatballs! read more

Went here with a small group for Restaurant Week and had a great time. The food is good here but what really sets them apart is the service and atmosphere. Not only does it feel like an old school Italian joint, but the service is incredible. Our server was very personable and felt like she was a friend, helping us out, rather than an employee of a food establishment. They were very busy this night but we never felt rushed or like an inconvenience to them. Their Italian Nachos are one of the best appetizers I've ever had. There's no reason that they should be that good, but they can make the whole night. My only knock on the cuisine was that my red sauce had a large chunk of tomato rind in there and was a little runny, but it doesn't ruin the night by any means. Their cocktails also aren't the best, so I would suggest sticking to the wine selections for a spot like this. There are tons of great food options in KC but the places that keep you coming back are the ones that help you feel at home and Cascone's knocks that aspect out of the park. read more

Not only are these people white supremacists who call ICE on their employees to avoid paying them, they also keep their restaurant absolutely filthy. I hope you like roaches crawling all over the food, because that's the kind of food you receive at this dump. I'd never step foot in that putrid, hateful establishment again. read more

Amazing service. Now days you just don't see this to often. We had a party of twelve and this one waitress waited on all of us and my water was never empty. Amazing! She was friendly and took care of us!! Hats off to her! The food was as good. The restaurant was clean and well kept for an older restaurant. Overall I would highly recommend them for a great Italian restaurant night out. For big or small parties. Now go get you some. Try it you'll like it! read more

Food always great and fresh. One of my favorites for all food! Great service! Best cheesecake in KC. read more

We eat here about once a week and we love it. Long time family owned restaurant. Food never disappoints and the service is beyond wonderful. We have a favorite server (Carla) and we ask for her always. She is the best!!! The restaurant is always clean and properly decorated for holidays. They are always so friendly and welcoming. After you get to know them you almost feel like family! I'd give them 10+ stars! read more

Other restaurants from my youth have come and gone North of the River, but Cascone's remains. It remains for a reason, and that's because they still bring great food to the table. The lasagna is still as good as it was 40 years ago, with the delicious Sugo, the Italian bread is soft and sprinkled with sesame seeds and the Fried Chicken is maybe the best in Kansas City. Our waitress was attentive without being overbearing and made you feel like you were having a family dinner. I love the family pictures on the wall, because it tells the story of the Cascone family and how much they are a part of Kansas City. read more

Spent my birthday here and it did not disappoint! The inside is very old school which I love about a lot of italian restaurants. The complimentary bread is one of the bests which is amusing because it's so simple but it hit the spot. I wanted to try a bit of everything so did the italian flag. The lasagna was my favorite but everything was incredibly good. I ended with tiramisu which was good but not the best I've had in the area. On the way out, the host recommended we try the fried chicken next time so we will be back! read more

First time here, I called before and it's walk in only. We arrived on a Saturday night about 6:15 and was told there was a 45-50 minute wait. We went to the bar, where I got a lovely red sangria, we could have eaten there but decided against it. Our wait time was about 20 minutes, people that arrives about 635 were waiting that long. Once we were at the table we ordered the stuffed artichoke with seafood, it was delicious with not only shrimp but scallops also. Next up was our meals I ordered the Italian Flag which consisted of Lasagna, Chicken Parmesan and Alfredo. All well prepared, and I have dinner for tomorrow. The hubby ordered the chicken spedini, he enjoyed it, nice flavor. Robert, our waiter was very friendly and helped us with any questions we had. I will definitely be back. read more

My girlfriend and I shared a Valentine's Day meal here one day early. On February 13 the parking lot was about 2/3 full. The restaurant seemed to be pretty busy and they were expecting it to be even busier the next day. We got seated right away. Our waiter was very personable was able to offer good recommendations. My girlfriend got Alfredo pasta with shrimp and sausage and I got chicken marinara. We both enjoyed our meals. The restaurant was warm inviting and you were spaced out enough that it kept you feeling like you were talking with the person next to you but not overly hearing everyone else's conversations around you All know we had a very good night and would definitely return. There are definitely other items on the menu that definitely looked very good and I would like to try those. read more

Cascone's is "the real deal." My old man has been saying this for decades. White sauce, red gravy, meatballs...if it's NY style Italian food you want, Cascone's is at the TOP of the KC list. While we've dined at Cascone's many times, we're specifically writing this review to compliment Cascone's on their to go process. We ordered a TON of food to go because we had a few tired little ones. We walked into Cascone's lobby and were immediately overwhelmed by all the people on a Sunday night. We assumed that our order would take a while. We found and spoke with the expo (or maybe hostess?) and were out of there with our to go bag in under 10 minutes! VERY impressive time given that Cascone's was so slammed. Yes, Cascone's has "been there" before; their ability to efficiently serve takeout AND handle sit down customers simply blew us away. With this particular family style order, we also enjoyed the chicken and ravioli. Great stuff! Literally everything we had was delish...and even went well together. read more

Ah, the memories. It seems like yesterday but in actuality it was 30 years ago. There were four of us, we worked at the Downtown Municipal Airport, and we made weekly visits, sometimes more than once a week, to a place called Cascone's on North Oak. Two of the four have passed and the third one, who is about 7 years older than I am, I have been unable to find any information on. Fridays were especially wonderful because they served a childhood favorite, salmon patties. You see they take two patties of salmon and sear them to where the outside is crispy and crunchy in the inside is smooth and creamy and then they take a plate and they put a mountain of mashed potatoes on that plate and stack those two salmon patties on either side. And then they take a big Ladle of creamed pea gravy and cover it all in its richness and goodness. Holy Moly, it's good! Well done Cascone's! Well done indeed! Filling the void in my mid-section with a childhood memory of delicious salmon patties! read more

Food was fresh and delicious! Service was great! I highly recommend this establishment!

Old man host was borderline rude (I'm sure he can't help it, but no one there will tell him to just retire). Mixed drinks took quite awhile to come out. Service was adequate. The whole place was a similar crowd to what you would see at Walmart. The bread service is like day old grocery store loaf. Overall, my expectations were met and this place is only as good as it needs to be for the elderly crowd that seems to take pride in backing their vehicles into the parking spaces. read more

Local. Italian. Great KC Food. When you think of KC one automatically goes to BBQ - nope try again. This local North KC Italian is a must try to get your real Italian fix. I have had almost everything on this menu through my visits but my top two favorites is what I will comment on. First this is a family business and you feel it as soon as you walk in. This is a happening place so be patient the clock works fast and it's worth it. If you have a wait grab a cocktail from the bar and take some time to take in the scenery. Now the food - you get bread and butter and would highly recommend the oil dip. Puts the topper on the bread. Fried Chicken - yes fried chicken at an Italian place. It's half of a chicken. You can get a straight half and white all dark whatever you want and it typically comes with green beans and mash and gravy. Special note ask for a side of Alfredo sauce instead of the gravy. It does wonders. Be prepared the portion size is huge. Now for the pasta - my favorite is the Johnny Combo because you get lasagna, Italian sausage, meatball and spaghetti- ask for the Diablo sauce and it will hit wonders. This is a huge plate and you will take let overs. The lasagna by its self is great but don't forget to give the love to the meatball - so moist and mouth watering. Sorry no pics but you will have to come to enjoy one of KC best places. read more

Honestly the sign caught my eye and decided I wanted Italian right then and there. Seems to be a very classy place, warm lighting and classical music in the background was a nice touch. My partner and I decided to split the Chicken Limonata that's sautéed with butter, lemon, white wine and cream. It's also served with fettuccine Alfredo, which was divine they start you out with a loaf of bread and butter. We also decided to order the meatballs appetizer, which was two gigantic meatballs with mozzarella melted on top. Everything was pretty delicious, I did expect more from the fettuccine Alfredo. Maybe it could've been cheesier for me... I'm not really sure it was still very very good. Overall a great experience and I will be back. read more

Had a great experience for a Valentine's meal with my wife. Ambiance was excellent with a cozy corner booth and sat nearby as another customer asked for Frank. Few minutes later Frank comes out and authentically greets me with a "how you doin?" as he passes by. Next thing I hear is italiano brogue and I start looking around for the Corleone family hoping I might spot Pacino. Food was great! Atmosphere even better. Service was excellent. Get the red sauce and the house dressing on your salad. And try the minestrone soup! read more

This is our go-to stop for authentic Italian fare. The ambiance has the nostalgic feel of an old-school family business where service is attentive and the food quality is outstanding! Come hungry as the portions are generous and the price is very reasonable. You can even buy some bottled sauces to enjoy the old-world taste at home. Highly recommend! read more

First time here, I know they've been in town for 70 years. For an unknown reason never went before yesterday, the service was great , food was amazing. The atmosphere was laidback as could be, from the moment we arrived till we left. Our waiter was very attentive and polite. Could feel right at home here and welcomed. The food was well portioned, if you leave hungry it's your own fault. The Lightning for taking pics of the menu wasn't very well thought. read more

Decided to give an old favorite another try. It's been a couple years since we were in the neighborhood, but glad we made the trip "up north" for a great mid-week lunch. Enjoyed a couple top shelf cocktails for only $10 and very generous classic red sauce pasta combinations. I had the "Johnny's Combo" and loved the quality Italian sausage. We appreciated the great service by JoLynn (sp?) who is clearly a no-nonsense veteran. read more

Decided to visit Cascone's due to recommendations from friends and we were pleasantly delighted to find cheerful Christmas Decor. The decorations were so fun to look at, bravo for getting the environment perfect. All the waiters, host were very polite, and if you made eye contact they acknowledged with a how are you and smile. The food was great, flavors were spot on. I rated 4 stars instead of 5 because the dish didn't have that wow this is amazing factor. The flavors were as expected, but could have been better with added chicken or just something to add variety to the plate. I will be back, my better half had steak and it's one of the best we've had in a while. Highly recommend! read more

I had high hopes, considering all the good things my boyfriend has said about coming to Cascone's plenty of times before. I don't know if it was an off day or what but we both left pretty disappointed. Both of our dishes were lukewarm at BEST and the shrimp in our Alfredo was cold. It didn't seem very fresh at all. Service was a little too casual. What really saved it was the calamari which was probably the best I've ever had. read more

This place is not trying to be anything more than what it is good American Italian food. They have a sweet red sauce, big portions, and a family a atmosphere. The meatball was flavorful and moist (hate this word but there is really no other word ‍). I had the clam linguine - it was just what I wanted. Canned clams in a great wine butter sauce. The pasta was cooked perfectly, would get it again. We had the Italian nachos, again cheese sauce and sausage with fried chips - yes please. read more
