We thought this was pretty high for 2 meals. This was before 4:00 pm if that made any difference.

I…read morearrived before everyone else and they were BUSY, so I grabbed a seat at the bar and had a glass of Prosecco while I waited. Once the rest of our party arrived, we were seated and had a great dinner. The portions here are extremely generous, everything was flavorful, and there was definitely plenty of food to go around. But the stuffed artichoke was the surprise of the night for me! It was my first time ever having one and it was FABULOUS. I would absolutely order it again. They also have a really nice birthday perk. As long as someone at the table orders an entrée, the birthday guest gets a complimentary chicken spiedini. And definitely save a little room for the spumoni ice cream because it was delicious! Overall, Garozzo's is more than just going out for Italian food. It feels like an experience. Big portions, great food, a lively atmosphere, and especially good for birthdays and celebrations. Definitely recommend!

Wine selection is vast... there is something for every one. Although, we didn't indulge in cocktails the ones at neighboring tables certainly looked delicious! We splurged on steak-skewers and a lasagna appetizer. Out-of-this world amazing. I almost regret not ordering a second round of appetizers and calling it my entire entree. Fortunately, we moved to the next course and were even more impressed. The magic touch to the chef's Tagliatelle Bolognese is total witchcraft. As one who appreciates a good pasta dish, this is now officially my second favorite pasta dish ever. We finished with beautiful entrees including the Michael Smith's Pork Roast, Smoked Mozzarella Stuffed Veal Chop, and the Wood Grilled KC Strip Steak. The Pork Roast was served beautifully. The spicy tomato sauce with the Veal Chop was absolutely delightful. The Strip Steak was tender and cooked to a perfect medium-rare. We could not have enjoyed our meal more if we tried. Ambiance is intimate yet energetic. Staff is professional, friendly, and extremely attentive. There wasn't a bite that was anything less than perfect. Having moved away from Kansas City, we do still miss having Farina to frequent. What an absolute gem of a restaurant. You absolutely cannot go wrong with anything on their menu or recommended by their staff. If it's your first time, absolutley step out of your comfort zone and order off the current specials menu. It's always proven to be delightful for us, every time! Thanks again to Ms. Nancy for being so helpful and getting us the reservation we were hoping for! We shall return when we visit KC next!

There was plenty of seating and we got to pick a cute spot by the painting for the 2 of us! We ordered their newly added spinach Artichoke dip and both got a chicken Alfredo, a safe bet at a new place. Our server, Emiliana I believe her name is, was super attentive to our table and gave us refills on their DELICIOUS housemade rolls to go with the dip. The rolls were moist and buttery, the dip had chunks of Artichoke and tomatoes in it and was absolutely delish. Tasted like Alfredo sauce! The Alfredo was equally as good, with a decent sized chicken breast on top! Creamy, but not super dense and the perfect portion. Also came with a side salad, i picked Ceasar and the salad was perfectly tossed in a very delicious dressing. We shall definitely be back!

We started with the meatballs and burrata, both of which were delicious. The meatballs were especially well seasoned. My wife had the bolognese and absolutely loved it, and she really appreciated having gluten-free options available. I had the cacio e pepe, and the pasta was cooked perfectly. All in all, the food, service, and ambiance were outstanding. One of our favorite meals of the trip. Highly recommend for both locals and visitors alike.

Fun fact: they said they named the restaurant Wise Guy as this was a phrase used by mobsters. The bartender/server was excellent.

My husband said the same in regard to his pizza. There was a slight mishap as our appetizer, garlic knots, were missed. But our server was excellent and brought them out as soon as possible and free of charge. He handled it beautifully and it was honestly no big deal.

On the positive side, our server was very friendly and provided great service throughout our meal. The restaurant has a dark atmosphere, which may appeal to some diners, but wasn't really my preference for a lunch outing. One thing that surprised me was that the soda was served in cans rather than from a fountain. While the food wasn't quite what I was hoping for, the friendly service was appreciated.

When we sat down, he mentioned that if we already knew what we wanted to order, we could put everything in at once and the kitchen would pace it out for us ala prix fixe. We did, and the timing was spot-on all night. Nothing felt rushed, and we were never sitting around wondering when the next course was coming. We started with the focaccia, which was fantastic. It was incredibly light and airy, almost like ciabatta, with crisp edges that made it hard to stop eating. Then came the cacio e pepe arancini, crunchy and golden on the outside and creamy and cheesy inside with a delightful almost bernaise like sauce. My better half is vegetarian, so Johnathan suggested an off-menu cacio e pepe pasta for her. It ended up being one of the highlights of the night. Silky, peppery, cheesy, and just ridiculously good. It's such a simple dish on paper, but when it's done that well, you notice. I had the hanger steak, and they nailed it. Great sear, cooked perfectly, with a wine reduction and diced Italian peppers. The sauce and peppers added plenty of flavor without covering up the steak. For dessert, we had the olive oil cake with whipped mascarpone and lime zest. This was probably my favorite surprise of the night. The mascarpone was rich and creamy, and the lime cut through the cake perfectly. I would've happily ordered another one. The cocktails were just as good. We had an espresso martini and A Little Old Fashioned, and both were excellent. I also loved the small touch of serving the Old Fashioned over one big cube stamped with the restaurant's B logo. Great food, great drinks, and genuinely excellent service from Johnathan. Even some bubbly at the end, gratis. We couldn't muster a single complaint about the meal, and why would we try?

Apps: All beef Italian Meatballs and Calamari Entrees: Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Pesto Sliders with mixed greens & side of marinara Dessert: Banana Caramel Butter Cake * scratch kitchen and made to order entrees allowing substitutions The meatballs, made of angus beef sat in marinara, polenta and grana padano cheese. The cheese was a delightful bold contrast to very well blended meatballs. It wasn't extremely creamy polenta but melted enough to eat along with the meatballs. By themselves seasoned goodness. Calamari was all rings, battered which was a different breading than I was used to but very good with both sugo and calabrian aioli provided. The portion was standard restaurant quantity but of course rings are honestly premium. Chicken parm plated along side parmesan rigatoni had crispy breading flavor with provolone and mozzarella atop. Every bite was savory. I needed a little salt on the rigatoni. My friend said her sliders were good too, even though the bread may look stiff, it was soft, she wanted the side of marinara for more moistness. We shared the dessert.. the butter cake was divine. One of the best butter cakes I've had. Not enough caramel so I hogged a lot of it with the ice cream & bananas. All of food was scrumptious!
