Best Italian Restaurants in Gladstone

I was blown away by every item we ordered. My husband, whom is super picky, was also amazed and would not stop talking about it. We ordered the insalata, focaccia Al formaggio with vodka sauce for dipping, then the agnolotti that had fennel sausage and ricotta filling with a tomato butter and chili sauce for spice. The service was a tie with the food quality. Every single staff member was wonderful and so welcoming and knowledgeable. Don’t hesitate to make a reservation here. We will be back next time in KC.

We always love Buca. We had Caesar salad, chicken parmesan, shrimp alfredo, and stuffed shells. Everything was delicious. The service is always good as well. It can get a little bit loud at times just due to large parties, but it doesn't bother us. I would highly recommend.

Lidia’s KC consistently offers up great food paired with exceptional service every time we visit. Everything we ordered was expertly prepared and served promptly. There are menu items from the past that we would love to see again. We really liked the cookie plate option as one of the desserts. We also miss the soup option as an alternative to the salad course. The soups changed daily and were always a favorite. We would even order soup to go.

I have been to Plate for Happy Hour many times, but this was my first time for dinner. We were not disappointed. We started with the pear bruschetta and truffle garlic bread and both were delicious. The Caesar and Moderno salads were both superb. Everyone at the table had pasta and each dish was delicious - we especially loved the Rigatoni. The dishes all had a little spice - which we enjoyed. Portions were perfect - not huge - but so good we all ate every bit. We ended with chocolate cake to share - which was also delicious. Service was great and so was the atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back!
