Welcome to the Crossroads, where Kansas City comes together. An evening at Lazia begins at the hearth with a complimentary house amaro blend as the sound of hip hop's greatest legends fill the room. The menu is both familiar and surprising in its selection of Italian favorites. It offers a collection of Cicchetti and Antipasti to start your meal; an expertly prepared and seasonal selection of handmade, fresh pastas; a satisfying collection of Secondi; and few moments of surprise & delight! Named for another Crossroads O.G. and pal of Pendergast, Johnny Lazia, our dinner-only restaurant sits at the Crossroads of Italian culinary inspiration and the farms and fields of the Heartland in the Midwest.We are currently open 7 days a week from 5:00pm - 10:00pmValet Parking for Lazia guests is $9, but street parking is also available.

    We arrived at the Blue Bird Bistro early in the evening seating cycle, so we had our pick of tables. Because of the hour, it was pleasantly quiet, making the Blue Bird ambience even better than usual. Our server brought menus and immediately asked if we were attending a (Kauffman Center) theater event following dinner (we were). The pork chop and bison brisket were each prepared, sauced and presented tastefully with wonderful flavors. The same can be said for the cocktails and dessert. The Blue Bird, in its beautifully restored corner building, is a short walk from the Kauffman, which eliminates having to find two parking spaces. The entire experience was very pleasing. We'll be back!
