    Loved our experience and it was the perfect family dinner and great atmosphere. The pasta sampling was so good as well as the manicotti. Excellent tiramisu and Limoncello dessert. Would definitely go back!

    Loved Lidia’s in KC! Our first time there and it didn’t disappoint. My husband said it was the best caesar salad he’d ever had.

    The food and service were both excellent. We were seated immediately even with the holiday crowd. The octopus potato salad was different and very tasty! Not something you normally see on menus so we had to give it a try. The pasta trio with salad and desert was a great value. The salad was huge and the pasta choices were excellent. My husband had eggplant Parmesan and it was vey good also. Lidia’s does not disappoint and was a perfect choice for a holiday dinner with friends!

    Pasta trio was disappointing. The pesto rotini was undercooked and the sauces were all very liquidy.

    The prosciutto e burrata appetizer was incredible, but I ate too much and could’ve eat much of the pasta trio! Will be back and hungrier before ordering the trio next time.
