Lidia's is one of the better Italian restaurants in KC, but compared to Italian resultants in other cities its just OK. Lidia's focuses on Northern Italian cuisine with some unusual twists. You wont find too many rich red sauces, but instead will find cream sauces, rich meats and other dishes that you wont find in other restaurants. I recommend the... more

We were traveling through town and tried Lidia's even though we had read mixed reviews of the restaurant. I am a fan of her tv show and didn't want pass up the chance of trying her food.

My mom loves her food, and watches her PBS religiously and cooks many of her dishes which we gobble down with gusto. But her Kansas City restaurant always disappoints me.

There are restaurants, where, when you eat the food, it transcends the eating experience. The tastes as so unique that delicious cannot do them justice and the experience becomes simply magical. Lidia's delivers on just such an experience. The quality of the food is beyond compare. We started with an appetizer of the soup of the day, which was a... more

You can't go wrong with Lidia's. It's not going to make a foodie scream with delight, but it's a great place to go with a group and everyone will leave satisfied. The atmosphere is very inviting, and the service was good. Enjoy more
