    we have always had a great experience at Lidia's. The guest we had with use from Seattle enjoyed the experience and indicated he would recommend Lidia's to other travelers visiting the KC area.

    The experience at Lidia's was exceptional - ambience, food and service. The prosciutto and burrata appetizer, with fig jam, was delightful. The ceasar salads were HUGE and easily shareable. The Osso Buco, gnocchi and ravioli with pear and cheese were truly exceptional! To enjoy the desserts we needed to take away some of our entrees. The flourless chocolate cake and the streusel did not disappoint!

    I go into this restaurant planning on not getting the pasta Trio, but I always end up getting it every time and I’m never disappointed.

    Being hearing impaired, I appreciate their willingness to place us at a quiet corner table. Beautiful dinner with delicious flavors! Tremendous wine selection too! We appreciate spending all our special celebrations here and look forward to it every year!

    A very pleasant dining experience. The food was delicious and the server was helpful and accommodating. Since it was our anniversary, a better table would have been nice. But otherwise a wonderful time which we would repeat.

    This has always been our go to place for trips to KC. The food was not great, the restaurant was not super clean and the noise was deafening.
