Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Independence

First time here and the food was delicious! Wished there was an actual fettuccine Alfredo dish though, but meatballs and lasagna was delicious! Drinks from the bar were very nicely poured so thank you.

My experience was STELLAR! I had a late RSVP and had to adjust my reservation and they took care of it seamlessly. The customer care was 10/10 throughout the evening!!! The food was delicious and we dined on a Thursday and enjoyed live music (a lovely background experience). I will be back soon.

It is my partners birthday and our server Mike took very good care of us. When we told him we liked amaro he offered us an amaro flight. Everything was so delicious and our gluten free needs were very catered too. Overall a special night for such an occasion. Thank you!

We were visiting Kansas and wanted to take our son out for his 17th Birthday. He loves Italian and so we were hoping for a special night. We were blown away by the dishes at Lazia along with the experienced staff and the advice and recommendations that they gave. Every dish was exquisite, prepared with care and tasted phenomenal. We felt really cared for by our server and loved the beautiful cake that they brought out to celebrate our son's big day. The atmosphere at the restaurant was elegant but not stuffy and felt intimate and inviting. I will definitely go there again to try other dishes. A must stop in Kansas city.

We usually go to Plate monthly. Great food, Great staff (feel like family). Happy Hour is also the Best!
