About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
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 - 10:00pm
Valet Parking for Lazia guests is $9, but street parking is also available.

Lazia is happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions.

    Very good service, the food was good but not for the value. I received 6 raviolis with peas for $22.

    Appropriate portions, great flavor, texture and presentation. Knowledgeable staff. They were out of a special (it happens). Great reuse of an old space

    This was the 4th time I have eaten here: once a year since 2022. The first time was unforgettable. It was the night I got engaged and our experience at Lazia was absolutely amazing. The next two times were similar; however, this last time was a bit less amazing. The service was great, as usual. We noticed a decrease in overall quality with the food. It is still good, but not as good as it has been in the past. The over-salted food was disappointing. The menu has also been cut down and the overall experience was not quite as astounding as before. It felt more superficial than our previous experiences there. Until now, I would always recommend Lazia to everyone. I always had delightful stories to tell others. Now, not so much. It wasn't a bad experience, but it just isn't the same as it was. I would still recommend it, just not so energetically as before.

    We enjoyed a great evening with our family at Lazia! The atmosphere is cozy, the service was a little slow but very welcoming and helpful and the food was excellent. Highlights for us were the stuffed focaccia, the wagyu carpaccio, and the mafaldine alla vodka pasta. We will definitely be back!

    Food was exceptional! Service was not up to hospitable and rarely came back to the table without being flagged down.
