Welcome to the Crossroads, where Kansas City comes together. An evening at Lazia begins at the hearth with a complimentary house amaro blend as the sound of hip hop's greatest legends fill the room. The menu is both familiar and surprising in its selection of Italian favorites. It offers a collection of Cicchetti and Antipasti to start your meal; an expertly prepared and seasonal selection of handmade, fresh pastas; a satisfying collection of Secondi; and few moments of surprise & delight!

Named for another Crossroads O.G. and pal of Pendergast, Johnny Lazia, our dinner-only restaurant sits at the Crossroads of Italian culinary inspiration and the farms and fields of the Heartland in the Midwest.

We are currently open 7 days a week from 5:00pm - 10:00pm
Valet Parking for Lazia guests is $9, but street parking is also available.

Lazia is happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions.

Mar 13, 2025 only
6:00 p.m.
They say you eat with your eyes first. Lazia, our Italian restaurant in the Arts District, together with Heidmann Art Salon, introduces Appetite for Art: A night for those who crave creativity. This evening, art will be on your plate, in the gallery, and around the table. An experience to remember. Start with a sip of amaro as you wander Lazia’s hidden gallery, where the Heidmann’s thematic collection invites you to venture into a new perspective. Then, wander the candle-lit dining room for a progressive, roaming menu that echoes the night’s theme - bold, intentional, and just a little adventurous. After grabbing a few bites and bevs, slip into a seat for cocktails and conversation with friends. With a setting this active, art sneaks into every corner of the evening. For the first edition, theme L’AVVENTURA sets the scene - an exploration of risk, discovery, and the beauty of the spontaneous. Expect the unexpected! WHAT IS INCLUDED: ✔ Exclusive entry to Appetite for Art, Lazia’s private art event, alongside the Heidmann Art Salon’s gallery, L’AVVENTURA. ✔ An all-inclusive, chef-curated stationed menu featuring highlights like Chef’s Raw Bar alongside a paired wine sampling menu and a welcome sip of amaro ✔ An evening of art, flavor, and conversation in an intimate, one-night-only setting.

Debbie was an absolute doll. Exceeded every expectation. She could not have been better about gluten free options. Give Debbie a raise. She was the best! Food was great, as well.

This was our first time at Lazia. Everything was perfection. Our server, Cheyanne, was fantastic. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We ordered focaccia bread and the wedge first. Both items - the best we’ve ever tasted. For our entree, we ordered the ribeye and potatoes. Also delicious. The atmosphere was amazing. The restaurant was busy (Valentines Day) but the service was super prompt and the food was hot. We had the raspberry chocolate dessert and the lemon dessert. Both fabulous. We WILL be back. Thank you, Cheyanne and Lazia, for a truly wonderful experience!

Thank you for leaving us such a glowing review Todd! Cheyanne is definitely one of the best servers around, and our culinary team is hard to beat! I'm so glad you had such a lovely Valentine's Day with us, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!

I would highly recommend this place. The energy and vibes in there were very energetic. A good crowd of people without feeling overly crowded. The food is definitely worth the price. The portions are just enough to share but packed with flavor. The servers were all very welcoming and polite. My glass was always full, and there was little to no wait time.
LaziaResponded 5 days ago
Thank you for the glowing review Lorenzo! Our servers, hosts and support team are some of the best in KC and we are so glad they made your night memorable. The culinary team definitely packs in the flavor and it's great to hear you enjoyed the energetic vibes in our dining room during your visit. We look forward to seeing you again soon!
