Contemporary Italian
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, Antipasti & Napoletana Style Pizzas 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 every day from 5:00pm - 10:00pm
Valet Parking for LAZIA GUESTS: $7

    Our experience at Lazia was exceptional! Our server Mira was great. She brought us champagne at the very beginning of the meal to celebrate my husband’s birthday - a very nice surprise. She was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu and helped answer all of our questions about unfamiliar ingredients. The food was fantastic. We had the focaccia and sunchoke fries and both were excellent. The pasta dishes were the perfect portion and tasted fresh and delicious. We ended the meal with the tiramisu and it tasted like it had been made fresh today. Everything was beyond tasty and felt worth the price. Can’t recommended it enough.

    Lazia was simply AMAZING. You MUST experience the mozzarella madam. She was simply phenomenal and the mozzarella is DIVINE! All of the flavors explode in your mouth. The pastas are great for sharing, the drinks are excellent, and the vibe/decor is elegant yet laid back. The atmosphere feels upscale. Dessert was also 10/10. Highly recommend Lazia!

    We showed up at 7:30 and they were already out of several dishes. Service was slow. Dinner took a total of 3 hours, no exaggeration. 30 minute gaps between our dishes. And very pricey for the amount of food. Presentation seems to be more important than satisfied customers. May try again, but unlikely with all of the amazing restaurants in KC.

    On our first visit, we were seated by the kitchen entrance and this time we had a lovely large table by the window, but the air-conditioning from the floor vent was so strong, we had to sit at the edges. We were disappointed to hear we can no longer order pizzas. We were looking forward to that as on our first visit, we enjoyed one. No explanation was given. There is no real 'green salad' but the panzanella option is lovely. It is very filling and delicious. I would recommend getting 6 oz or 8oz pour bottle for serving the wine. The first glass I had was about 4 oz at best and the second, the server poured about a 9 oz glass and both pours were charged the same. I ordered a 2nd glass based on the size of the pour on the first glass and I really didn't want an overly large pour. Our waitress was not as affable as our first waiter. It makes a difference who waits on you - they can make or break an experience.

    LaziaResponded on May 7, 2023Thank you for your review. As it anonymous and we cannot match it to a reservation, we would appreciate any additional details you may be willing to provide so we can address any opportunities with our specific teams. Regarding the menu, we did recently change our offerings for the spring and removed the pizza section so we could instead offer a verdure section to highlight our seasonal veggie-centric items. Pizzas are still available in XR if you would like to enjoy them!

    Loved everything about this place, save for one thing. The decor is hip and happening, the pre-seating Amaro tasting is a nice touch, the menu is interesting but not overly ambitious, and the service was friendly and, for the most part, attentive. They had a nice range of wines by the glass and by the bottle, and it was fun to share small plates (and larger plates) family style. Only knock on the place was the pasta - not up to par with the rest of the place. Homemade and fresh, for sure, but too thick where it was pleated. So isn't on my recommended for a pasta fix but would definitely recommend for all else.

    LaziaResponded on April 22, 2023Thank you for your review, Elmer. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your experience with us, but apologize that you didn't love one of your pastas. We hope you'll join us again and give a few of our other wonderful pasta dishes a try!
