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.

The mushroom ravioli is GREAT. Fried zucchini appetizer is crispy, and very tasty with proportion enough for 4 at least. Bruchetta always a winner. Service also wonderful.

    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!
