I am honest I didn't expect much, and figured the 4.5 stars was because it was a local favorite in a smaller town. It was wonderful! The service was great and it was a well done restaurant, as far as a "strip mall restaurant" would go haha. But, the food was outstanding! I do t go to Belton much even with having some family there and it's never been a destination spot for dinner plans. But I will go out of my way to make it back here! We had the Alla Crema and the Rigatoni Vodka (not sure if I spelled these correctly, but they both surpassed our expectations. The Caesar salad was light and not overly dressed and the house salad with house dressing was fresh and light as well. My son had the cheese pizza and it was thin with just the right crispness and mix of sauce and cheese! We will definitely be back!

My fiance and I were craving some Italian after church and we found Bella's only a few miles away…read more We are new to the area and have never heard of it so had no idea what to expect. Ambiance was cool - it was low light, lots of wood and interesting architecture. Definitely felt "old school" in a good way. Not what we were expecting from the outside which is not particularly unique as far as the build out. We waited at the host stand for a bit but it was clear every worker was in the middle of a task (we saw a very large party and it seemed like food for every table was Just coming out). One thing I really admired was that every employee that walked by (running to a table with a tray of food, turning a ticket in, etc.) made eye contact with us and acknowledged our presence and apologetically said, "We will be right with you!" We didn't wait long at all and we didn't care even if we did, but I just thought that was so kind compared to some joints where employees who are busy just pretend you are not there. We were met with kindness at the door and that meant more to me than the great service and great food. The rolls are SO good and they come out warm. I had the Murphy which was very flavorful and on the spicy side, while my fiance had chicken Alfredo. We both left full and happy! We will definitely return!

He brought me a starter salad with a tomato based dressing... holy hell, bro! Delicious! Never have such a dressing... and it did not disappoint! And the main dish... I don't even like mushrooms and it didn't matter. More deliciousness! The lightly breaded chicken was tender. The white sauce was savory. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Exquisite. And the Tiramisu he brought me rounded out what has been the best midday meal I've had in as far as I can remember. And the Godfather music cycling through the atmosphere... made me feel like I was just made an offer I can't refuse. Thank goodness I don't have horses. Seriously though... told Dibi that I was upset. He asked why. I told him that I was upset it took me this long to find this place! And yes... I am a comedian... but one thing I don't joke about is making food recommendations. If you've seen me or know me... you know that I have a rep to protect! Thank you, Dibi... and the owner, Randy! Great place and will DEFINITELY be back. I give this Tio Pepe's highest recommendation for Italian food!

For my entree, I chose the Chitarra Alla Gricia, and the server recommended pairing it with the Syrah. Again, excellent. I also enjoyed sharing a bowl of the Vodka Radiatori. I left full, happy, and with Tiramisu to go. If you find yourself with an opportunity to go to Zero Zero, don't hesitate to book that reservation. The food, the service, the patio; all great.

We had an amazing first visit to Zero Zero! It took me months to get a reservation, but it was…read moredefinitely worth the wait. The staff was so kind and courteous and the food was phenomenal! We had the focaccia and burrata to start, then the spicy vodka radiatori and a special pasta with a cream sauce since we don't eat pork. We finished with the Amaro date cake which was absolutely stellar! We can't wait to be back. Two things that could be improved: the space is quite tight and we were almost touching elbows with the table next to us. I hope to see this wonderful establishment expand someday! There were also quite a few pork based entrées and pastas on the menu, but we were very grateful the staff was able to substitute another pasta for us so we weren't left with only one pasta option to choose from. It sounds like the menu is seasonal and changes throughout the year, so hopefully there will be more options next time. Overall, we had a wonderful time and hope to snag another reservation soon!

There are plenty of servers working, and if the owner is about, they are very on top of things. The menu of available items has a nice selection, including wine and other alcoholic drinks if you'd like those. The prices, to me, are reasonable, for what you get. On a personal note, I ordered the calamari appetizer (it was decent), a Cesar side salad (good, but the dressing was a smidge too sweet for me), the spaghetti and meatballs (great flavor and two huge meatballs), and the lemon berry cream mascarpone for dessert (which was a slice of cake, and had AMAZING flavor). I will for sure come back again and recommend this restaurant.

Being used to Kansas City staples like Garozzo's and Cascone's, we were excited to give it a try, but unfortunately, it didn't quite live up to the high rating hype. ​ ​The Atmosphere & Service: The space was clean and the waitstaff was incredibly warm, nice, and welcoming throughout our meal. ​Drinks & Extras: They have a great wine selection! However, keep in mind they don't have a full physical bar, so non-wine options such as beer and spirits come from a can. Bread is also a separate purchase and doesn't include an olive oil dipping sauce nor did they bring out or have any fresh ground pepper or parmesan cheese which is a bit of a sin with our meals. Note: I did get a pepper shaker, but it poured heavy like a cheap bottle of wine... Lucky for me. I'm a pepper fan. My Entree: I tried their signature Tagliatelle pasta with meat sauce. While the flavor was definitely there and the pasta was cooked just past al dente (which I didn't mind), the sauce was quite runny on the plate. ​The Price: Very reasonable--it definitely won't blow a hole in your wallet! ​The Verdict: ​While the hospitality and prices are great, the food just missed that "chef's kiss" quality I was hoping for. It's a nice spot, but overall it felt a bit overhyped compared to top-tier Italian dining.

Wish we had just one more piece of garlic bread to eat with it! It was exactly what I was expecting. The pasta carbonara had a nice meaty flavor throughout from the guanciale. My husband loves meat so he added an Italian sausage which it really did not need. But I'm glad he did because the piece I stole from his plate was amazing with the tastiest char. I want to go back just for a side of Italian sausage. As for the wood fired lasagna... it was good. I saw reviews where people said it was the best they've ever had. I can't say the same. When the description says sweet marinara or sweet red sauce, believe the sweet part. This sauce is SWEET. It's definitely oriented for those who eat and love a lot of sugar. I personally think if it had a splash of béchamel on top to counterbalance the sweetness, it would be better, but that would totally change the dish. I'd DEFINITELY try their white lasagna anytime if they ever have that on special. The pistachio butter Panuozzo Dolce is pretty much exactly how it looks. Think of the pistachio butter just like peanut butter in texture. It's just green instead of brown, and tastes of pistachios instead of peanuts. It's wood fired dough and the pistachio butter. I think it needs some whipped cream on top to jazz it up. I'll try the tiramisu next time! I appreciate the decent priced bottles of wine. One thought on the decor (which is pretty cool), is that it would be really nice for those patrons sitting facing the big black wall, hanging some big black framed mirrors would be fabulous so we have something to look at besides our table mates. We will be back.

Fantastic you-pick farm!…read more I wanted to pick some sort of fruit while I was running around the countryside near Lexington. Yelp found Fahrmeier's Farm and a quick visit to their website informed me that blackberry season had just opened! Well who doesn't like blackberries? So off we go, ready to go pick some fruit on the way to the Battle of Lexington State Historic Park. Super friendly girl came out to greet us and escorted us to a row of blackberries that she said were especially delicious. She showed us how to pick them, twist not pull, and then off we were! These blackberries were the largest berries I have ever seen! A few were as long as my thumb. They were bursting with sweet juiciness. I couldn't help eating one or two during the picking process, but they all looked so good. I'm pretty sure I picked all of the best ones... lol... ok not really, but had a whole tray at the end of going down one row and back up the other side. All those berries cost less than $20 too! I think the total was like $17 and change for about 4-5 lbs at $3.99/lb. Everyone in the little market was friendly and they had a few things for sale there from their farm, fresh eggs, ginormous tomatoes (seriously, huge,like 3-4 lbs) and various other things including cold drinks. You end up with an open tray of berries in a bag that only covers half, so be careful driving with them. But I had the best time being a city gal in the country and seeing cute goats and birds flying around. I had some berries on my cereal this morning and omg so delicious - seriously the best I've ever had. My bf doesn't think I can eat all the ones I picked. Watch me.
