    I'm Italian and I love these mom and pop style Italian restaurants. The crooners were crooning. The decor was old school. The servers were attentive. The food was delicious. We stopped while traveling through but would love to go again someday.

    I came to this beautiful Italian spot located on 40 highways as an attendee of a luncheon. There were around 65 women so I applaud the staff for their patience and professionalism. There were people ordering a verity of different types of drinks and were accommodated properly. When you walk in, the decor is beauuuuutiful. I didn't get a picture of it, but it's stunning. I didn't know what we were served, however my chicken was tender and juicy.. truly some of the best chicken I had in that regard. However, you could take vinegar in almost every dish, which has a pretty infamous taste for those who like it. That being said, I feel like the vinegar took away from the flavors of the dish. Outside of that, the salad was not a fan of mine either. I'd be willing to try other dishes!

    Exceptional service, above and beyond hospitality, the food and drinks were amazing. The bar staff and servers were amazing. This is a place that feels like home. The ambiance is top notch.

    The initial atmosphere of the building was not the best. The interior was dated and the tables were cramped together. Despite this, the food definitely made up for it. I ordered the Pesto Alla Pesca and it was delicious, but I had to get extra pesto with it since the dish was light on it. Everyone at our table had good portion of sauce except the pesto dishes. My girlfriend ordered the Alfredo, which was a very thick sauce and we both agree didn't have much flavor, cooking it ourselves would've had a better taste. The service was timely during the entirety of our meal. The only time we had to wait was on our boxes

    Best Italian in Kansas City!!! I had the Spedini and Italian butter while watching the game. Sam the owner welcomed me and had a cold beer and fresh beer glass immediately since his bartender was busy. Amazing service!!! Not to mention the restaurant makes you feel like you walked onto the goodfellas set! Real Italian feel!

The walls are adorned with Garozzo family pictures and Frank, Dino, Tony and other Italian crooners. The staff harkens back to the fine dining style that is so lacking at corporate restaurants. AND THE FOOD is EXCELLENT Italian with some original recipes by Mike Garozzo. One entree, "Frankie's Chicken," brought tears to my eyes in remembrance of my friend Frankie. I watched as the evening staff came on duty and was amazed at their professional appearance, attractiveness and huge smiles. I have not had such a wonderful restaurant experience in MANY years.

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!

It was snowing and cold, and I was there about 6 or 7 minutes before opening. They were kind enough to let me in, sit at the bar, and take an order for a drink before they were actually open. Since it was cold, the lasagna soup sounded fantastic, and it did not disappoint. It was so good. I highly recommend it. My bartender was obviously super friendly (letting me in early), and the service, conversation, and attention I was given were spectacular. It's a fun place to look around. Decorations are interesting. It has a unique charm. My main course was excellent, as was my dessert. I had to go all out for this lunch, not because I needed to eat that much, but because I couldn't say no to anything that was put in front of me If you're looking for a fun place with great food and people, this is a good spot to go.

    I thought calling my local Pizza Hut would be enough to file a formal complaint and get some kind…read moreof resolution--but it didn't go as planned. So, here we are. Let me tell you about my experience today at the Blue Springs, MO location. It was as disappointing as ordering a pizza and only getting the box. Honestly, I might have preferred that. First, the pizza itself. It barely had any pepperoni or cheese on it. I've seen crackers with more toppings. When I called to address the issue, I spoke with Kayla, the manager on duty. Unfortunately, Kayla seemed more interested in laughing and chatting with her coworkers than actually helping me. When I brought up the lack of toppings, my ongoing frustration with this location's consistent issues, and the fact that I had told my husband we shouldn't order from here because well the pizza is always disappointing. Kayla seemed to find the whole situation amusing. Spoiler: it wasn't. She offered no solutions--no refund, no credit. Instead, she pointed out that since I had given my 3-year-old the smallest piece of pizza to calm a meltdown, where she was screaming "I love messed up pizza," when I was trying to explain it needed to go back... I wasn't eligible for anything. When I asked for the corporate number to escalate the issue, she claimed she didn't know it and wasn't motivated to find it. She eventually mentioned it was online but admitted she wouldn't even know where to direct me. The only real help Kayla gave me during the entire call was spelling her name correctly. That's it. Beyond that, she sarcastically offered to remake the pizza, adding that she didn't know how many times she'd have to remake it since I "clearly don't like the way they make pizza, their crust, or their toppings." Not exactly the customer service experience I was hoping for. At this point, I'm not picky--I'm just looking for someone, anyone, from Pizza Hut to step in and Make Apizza Great Again. Please let me know how we can resolve this. And maybe consider a refresher course in customer service for Kayla--because sarcasm and dismissal shouldn't be part of a manager's skillset. There are two other Blue Springs Pizza Huts that have both provided pretty consistent and excellent service. It's this location that consistently disappoints. Thanks, Jen

There pasta dishes are uniformly excellent, especially the Pappardelle, a lamb ragu with dried apricots and pignoli. The missus is a fan of steak tartare and a tough critic.

I think sometimes, quite unfairly, restaurants can be a victim of their own hype. Living somewhat near here and seeing how packed it is, and how hard it is to get a reservation... the lore grew and grew. I thought this must be the best spot in town! And you know what? It is really good. Really solid, good service, and a good restaurant to check out. Put it on the to-try list. One area that didn't fully land for me was vibe-wise, or if I need to act my age, I could call it the atmosphere. It's such a small space (totally fine) but the back row of tables is essentially shared. Normally fine, but the night we were there we were right next to a large group that was super loud. Kinda dampened the energy, and felt better when they left. Basically, wanting date night but the energy here is more "brasserie" and slightly more casual than I expected. Anywho, the food was good. Loved the focaccia starter with a garlicky olive oil. The Italian salad was pretty good, a bit marked up on price, but pretty good. I had the chicken parmigiana and wanted to love it, but I'd say a solid four stars. Good, not great. The red sauce was very good, and the serving size is generous. Passed on dessert and headed around the corner for after-dinner cocktails. All in all, a great neighborhood spot where I feel the prices are a bit high, but I see most of the appeal. I thought this might be a regular spot in the rotation, but it's more likely to be an every now and again kind of spot.
