- CCherGoldKansas City / Kansas •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had the most incredible experience at Lazia! The food was absolutely impeccable, every dish exceeded our expectations, and the service made the entire evening even more special. We were there celebrating both of our birthdays and enjoying one last amazing dinner before welcoming our baby boy, and the entire experience felt so thoughtful and memorable. A special thank you to the staff for going above and beyond to make us feel celebrated. I especially appreciated the thoughtful gesture of bringing me a non-alcoholic wine so I could still be part of the celebratory toast while my fiancé enjoyed a glass of champagne. It was such a sweet touch that truly didn’t go unnoticed. Thank you for making such a meaningful evening even more beautiful. From the food to the hospitality, everything was exceptional. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and we will absolutely remember this dinner for years to come. We can’t wait to come back! ❤️More infoLazia$$$$• Contemporary Italian• Crossroads / Freight District / Boulevard•4.7
