    Solid pizza
    Daniel Z.

    Pizza was very good: loved the crust, sauce, cheese. The pizza was ready pretty quickly.

    Chicken Pesto Sandwich
    Colleen L.

    This is a great option located within Strang Hall. The sandwiches all come with a choice of side salad and you're sure to walk away full. I ordered the chicken pesto sandwich with a side Caesar salad. The salad consisted of mixed greens dressed with house-made dressing & garlic toast points. It's also vegetarian. The mixed greens were fresh and the toast points were a nice addition. The dressing was good but it's super garlicky. I love garlic and I'm all about it but some people may find it a bit much. Make sure to grab a mint! You'll be safe from vampires for sure. The chicken pesto sandwich is made up of grilled Chicken breast, pistachio pesto, mozzarella, goat cheese, bacon, and heirloom tomatoes. This was super good and I'd definitely get it again. Fresh and flavorful and not super heavy. It was a great lunch! My dining partner ordered the BossHog which is house-made meatballs cooked in red sauce topped with parmesan reggiano and provolone, served toasted. It looked delicious and they said it was really good. I may have to get this the next time!

    Met up with friends at Strang hall and we got a pizza to share from Norcini! If you've never been to strang hall, it's a nicer food court where you can order from multiple restaurants and sit with your friends which is nice if everyone's feeling a different vibe for dinner. We went on a Friday night and it was pretty busy but didn't have to wait more than 10-15 min to get our food. The pizza itself was really good, good portion for the cost and made it easy to share with friends. Would definitely come back!

    Slap's BBQ Pizza
    Joshua J.

    Perfect crust makes the experience! I was excited to try their special. Slap's BBQ is a great little KC gem and burnt ends on a pizza didn't disappoint! I'm sorry if my enticing description is not available, the crew here change up the specials (which is good). I talked with Chad and he mentioned he loves to get local ingredients and create exciting combinations.

    Fungo pizza
    Larissa W.

    Came here on a Thursday afternoon and ordered the small Fungo pizza and a chocolate chip cookie. I ordered it to-go, thinking I'd eat half and then take the rest home. Boy was I wrong. I took one bite and knew I'd be eating the whole damn thing. The cheeses were buttery, melty, and delicious. The crispy guanciale (similar to bacon) was sooo good. You almost wish there was more of it but then you learn to savor the occasional bite here and there, which balances the pizza perfectly. The cookie was also really good and was the perfect end to the meal. The people behind the counter were friendly and accommodating. Overall, I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back.

    The Hogfather
    Chuck W.

    I ordered the hogfather based off the great description and what was delivered is this excuse for a sandwich... It is missing the greens that I read about making this a balanced sandwich. Bread rips your mouth apart. 3:1 bread to meat/cheese ratio.

    Lunch combo. Good value!
    Jaquelyn B.

    The perfect lunch combo. Just the right size, LOVED the crostinis on the salad! Very friendly service - the order did take the full 15 minutes he told me. They were busy but just keep that in mind if you're on a time crunch. Next time I'm trying this chocolate chip cookie.

    Incendio
    Jen H.

    Norcini is one of my top two places for pizza hands down. I went with the Incendio single size and a side house salad. Do not let the looks of this cute pizza deceive you. It has some major kick and the crust is so soft and chewy. My salad was full of toppings and the dressing was very flavorful. Perfect meal size for one. My husband had the Bianco. Love that it was thinly sliced sausage rather than crumbled. The white sauce was flavorful and rich but not at all heavy making it easy for a hungry adult to eat most of it alone. We did a kids cheese with kalamata olives and I was a little bummed at the portion for the price but would still get it again because the quality was worth it. Toppings on everything are so fresh and we are excited to go back and try more. Norcini please add more vegetarian options!! Ordering online is easy to do and easy to pick up. Just head to Strang Hall's site and you can order from any kitchen at once.

    Cheesesteak.   No flavor...Bland as hell.
    The M.

    Come on guys! Most bland Philly I've ever experienced. You need to ingredients to get flavor. Meat had no flavor as well. Was expecting way more.

    Spumoni Cannoli
    Azile Y.

    OMG the anchovy/peppadew pizza!! This is hands down best pizza in KC. Chef Chad is such a nice humble guy, he came out and talked to us. Update: The Italiano and Fungo are both superb. We thought the cannoli were fine.

    Jordan K.

    I tried the Philly cheesesteak from Norcini and for some reason thought it was a Philly cheesesteak pizza not sandwich when ordering on the mobile app (my bad!). I was slightly disappointed when it came out as a sandwich, but it was pretty good! Bread was a little dry but the meat and peppers were juicy and fresh. Next time I think I'd get the provolone instead of the cheese wiz. Another solid option for dinner!

    Pepperoni pizza
    Kimberly M.

    This was a little treasure! I saw the review in KC Magazine and it was delicious. Got the pepperoni pizza and Crab Rangoon pizza. Crust is amazing. The best kept secret is their chocolate chip cookies!

    Crab Rangoon pizza
    Angie W.

    We tried the crab Rangoon pizza!! It was really good, and will definitely have to come try some of their other pizzas. My only complaint was that the crust was a bit tough. Everything else was great, not too long of a wait for the food, and the prices were reasonable for a specialty pizza.

    Too many bad things to write a full review of all the mis-steps, but suffice it to say we had been…read moreto this restaurant once before and it was very good. This time I went with my husband, he got his meal, and about 10 minutes later they told me they forgot to make mine. It took so long to for the server to return that I asked him to just put it in a to-go box since my husband had finished his meal. He proceeded to ask if we wanted dessert, but I didn't even eat dinner!! To round out the experience, the server threw the check on the table with his back to us and left before we could even comment about the experience. Here are the 3 strikes that solidified why we will never return: 1. They didn't even offer to comp my meal, 2. They blamed it on new kitchen staff - it is NEVER a good look to blame someone else, and 3. When I got my sandwich home and attempted to eat it, it looked like it had been soaked in a vat of olive oil - there was at least 1/4 cup of oil that dripped out of the package, soaked through the paper and the wrap, all of the vegetables were raw, and the garlic dressing was missing. They obviously threw it together just to get something out. The sandwich was completely and ridiculously inedible... and of course because I didn't realize it until we got home, we PAID for it. As I have said in other reviews, I normally only post about really good places, and if I leave a low review, it is to warn people about exceptionally bad experiences. This was so bad it was nearly comical. I highly encourage the ownership and the staff of Nico & Ana's to get some formal training in customer service, food prep, and common decency if you want your business to be successful. It takes a LOT to make me consider a bad review, and after this horrible experience, I didn't think twice because they failed to take ownership of the problems and they didn't even give us an opportunity to share our concerns. It didn't appear as if they cared at all.

Food-wise, I had the Spaghetti & Wagyu Beef Meatball, and our table also got the lasagna and chicken parm. Everything was good and everyone was happy, but for the price (about double most other Italian chains), nobody was really blown away... until dessert. Between the crème brûlée and tiramisu, the entire table agreed that was the standout part of the meal. They were slammed when we went and we had a few service changes because of the rush. Getting drinks and putting our order in took longer than usual, but once we had a consistent server, it was all good. Busy nights happen. They also did a solid job keeping everything clean even during the chaos, and the restaurant itself is really beautiful. I'll be back, but I'm probably coming back just for the crème brûlée. The food was good, it just felt pricey for not having anything that really stood out in portion or flavor for my whole family. I had multiple family members in my party who've eaten here a lot tell me it tastes noticeably different than it used to. They said they've mentioned it to management before and were told changes were made to cut costs, and honestly, it shows in quality unfortunately. They don't plan to come back because of that, but I'll happily return for dessert.

Now for the food! I ordered the seafood ravioli, and my son ordered the Penne Victoria. While we each enjoyed the dish we ordered, we both ended up preferring each other's dish...lol. The sauces on both dishes were so good and really made the meals stand out. This was a great pick for our February restaurant of the month. We'll definitely be back!

The Moderno salad -- with cherries, cured beef, pine nuts, and goat cheese -- was flavorful, though the espresso vinaigrette unfortunately tasted more like straight vinegar than espresso. I had the short rib bolognese and it was absolutely delicious. Others at the table ordered the Funghi pasta with creamy white sauce, which was good but could have used a bit more mushroom flavor. The Toscana chicken breast (bone-in) with sun-dried tomato sauce had that perfect "marry me" flavor -- rich and satisfying. For dessert, we had the Plate chocolate cake with raspberry and pistachios. It was a huge slice, with a rich chocolate flavor. So why not five stars? Despite having reservations, we were seated right by the kitchen where servers pick up food. Made more annoying because the restaurant had a lot of empty booths and tables in the main dining room. The upside was that the pizza ovens kept us warm, but it wasn't the most relaxing spot. There were also a couple billing issues: the tip was calculated on the post-tax total rather than pre-tax. Also our prix fixe dinners included dessert and we opted to upgrade to a different dessert from the menu. Oddly the up-charge was $6, even though the menu price difference was only $3. That said, Plate offers delicious, well-priced food (though the drinks are on the expensive side), and it's still a great choice for Italian food in Kansas City
