overall great experience!!! restaurant is absolutely stunning, the wait staff are extremely thoughtful and will go the extra mile for you!! we both got the pasta trio sampler, i’m not exactly sure if we needed to request more or if it was because we didn’t finish our plates, but we weren’t offered more so unsure of how its “unlimited” exactly. that being said, its very filling, super super yummy bread and salad. desserts were AMAZING! got a free birthday one too! drinks were lovely as well, just very strong lol.

We were ignored for most of our meal and had to call servers over multiple times. Our waitress did not bring several items we asked for. Food was good when it finally came after we had to call the waiter to the table again. Understandable on a busy night but the restaurant was half empty

We dined last night to celebrate my birthday and it was such a treat for everyone involved! Miranda served us and was incredibly attentive to our needs and preferences, and gave excellent advice on which wine to pair with our meals! Thank you to the team at Lidia’s for a unique and enjoyable experience, everyone left feeling satisfied and overjoyed!

We had the best waiter! He helped us in ordering and made some great suggestions. I love this restaurant but was disappointed that they didn’t have the famous cioppino soup. At least for the holidays. But will continue to always love this place.

Incredible food, served well. And a great value too. My Manhattan was perfectly made and the osso buco is the best I've ever had. A must stop when in Kansas City.

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.
