   Good food but weird service and not the best ambiance. They couldn’t even find out reservations. The place was empty and we still got delayed.

   This was our second time but a lot had changed in the year since we last came and not for the better. The rattlesnake pasta was so spicy it was truly uneatable and the chicken in the chicken parm was so hard you couldn't even cut into it.

   Birthday dinner for my husband. Food was pretty good but lighting in there does not give off a romantic ambience. Overhead stark white light was too bright. Service was excellent. Wish the “mood” was better. Was going to go for speakeasy but was closed due to water pipes issues due to freezing weather.

   Amazing food, tasty drinks and great service. I had the Rattlesnake Pasta - some of the best pasta I've had in KC. Our waitress was attentive and kind. My only complaint is that it was almost silent, felt like a library.

   The food was just okay for the price. The chicken piccata was drenched in a pool of olive oil. The spaghetti and meatballs was pretty good but nothing special.

   A 5:30pm dinner service should not start with a list of menu items they’ve run out of. If those items are popular - MAKE MORE. Also, as the light fades outdoors, so should the ceiling lights indoors, ambiance is a wonderful thing. Lastly, covers of 90’s tunes are meh, and the volume of said tunes should not exceed the volume of a two person convo (turn it down). The food was excellent, the feel unfortunately was lunchroom. I would recommend conditionally.

   Was sat near a very intoxicated woman who proceeded to join our table. Server was very kind and discretely moved us, but it was an odd and off putting interaction. Additionally, decor was very visibly dusty which was off putting. For example wine bottles near host stand were covered in dust. Food was really great and server was super nice and professional despite being dressed very casually in a long sleeved sport t-shirt

    The first time was for dinner. I arrived a little after 6pm. I wanted the the salad feature in tuna. I was to.d the last one was just sold. There was only one other sitting besides me. They were done with dinner. I was told three other entrees were out. How could these be so early in the dinner service? I will say the shrimp scampi was good, but way too much pasta. I came the next day for breakfast. The website lists a full breakfast menu. They only offered a limited breakfast buffet. The server both days were great.

    When we walked in to the restaurant there wasn’t anyone to great us. We thought maybe we had entered through the side or back door. So we walked out and went through the hotel entrance to enter the restaurant. We then were greeted by a server and she said she’d be back in a min. It was like there was no one really there to seat us. Then the manager appeared and sat us. The next thing I noticed was the booth seat had a huge worn out spot. Needed to be replaced or fixed. We had a nice server. We ordered a glass of wine. Mine was not chilled enough. We ordered pasta which was good. They never brought bread which is usually the first thing you get in an Italian restaurant. We asked for bread with dinner and they brought 3 slices of some dry , stale bread. No butter or olive oil for dipping. Then they charged us $3 for the bread. Not a very nice experience. They need to work on there presentation and a few other things.

    Limited menu with fairly high prices for the quality of the food. Limited wine list and the waitress, although very nice, had no idea about the wines on the menu , nor did she know how to cork the remainder of our bottle for carrying. They handed us a paper bag! We ended up leaving the rest of the wine as we didn’t want to be stopped for an open container. Bartender didn’t know how to do this either. I would not go back

    Disappointed. Came here for my birthday dinner and they were understaffed which understandably they can’t control but the service was not the best and our waitress did not listen. The food was subpar and their focaccia bread was not at all focaccia - it was just a regular Italian loaf, very disappointed. My spaghetti pomodoro tasted like it was from a can. I doubt I would return, unless the menu was restored back to the full menu and maybe if they had full staff- who knows.

    For an “Italian kitchen”, I would expect more than 2 Italian entrees on the menu. Service was good, and the staff was accommodating, but the menu was very disappointing.

    For an "Italian Restaurant" they only have three pasta dishes. Seemed more like a sports bar than a nice spot for Italian food. Pasta was good, but I wouldn't rave to anyone. Their spaghetti was as basic as it can be. The restaurant was also too cold. Had to try and eat fast so our food wouldn't get cold. It's worth the walk to go somewhere else.

    I made reservations A MONTH in advance, was prompted to confirm my reservation the day before via text and email, which I did confirm and the restaurant was CLOSED when we got there. I have never in my life been in a situation like this. We had tickets to a show after dinner, so we ended up having to scramble to find somewhere to eat as the city was packed and most restaurants had a 30 min to 1 hour wait time. Terrible way to start the evening.

    Stayed at the hotel and had dinner at Terranova. Food came out very quickly as they were not busy at all I ordered the chicken Parmesan and my wife, a burger. We were disappointed that the menu was limited and not the same as the online menu when we made reservations.

    This restaurants isn’t the same as it was previously. Whether it’s different owners or just hard times, it isn’t the farm to market Italian restaurant we loved. Food and service were just barely ok. Sad. We won’t be back.

    When I checked out the restaurant online, it seemed like a cozy, higher end Italian restaurant. Inside, it was very empty and most of the customers sat at the bar, which had two huge TVs. My colleague and I left with the impression that it was more of an Italian "pub", if you will. The food was tasty, but perhaps overpriced for the ambience and actual flavor. It was honestly as good as what we could have gotten at Olive Garden. It was also strange that they only offered 1 Italian wine on the menu and they were out of that wine. So, not bad if you work in the area and want a place to stop by after work but there are probably better, more interesting places to go when in KC.

    We went for Mother’s Day brunch. Spent hours pouring over menus and pictures. Decided this would would be a good fit. Showed up, they were super understaffed and only offered a buffet that was poorly stocked. Food was similar to hotel free breakfast in quality. Many items were out and others were cold. We were not alone in our upset any others left while we were there, tables sat dirty for our whole seating. It wasn’t sooo busy it was sooo understaffed.

    We booked reservations for Mother's Day. The brunch menu online looked great, but that wasn't available. There was a very sad buffet set up in the front windows and omelets/scrambled eggs were made to order. When our party of 5 went to the buffet, there were only 2 plates so 3 of us had to wait. Very minimal items available. There was a platter of lox, onion, eggs, capers, etc and cream cheese, but there were no bagels. Not shocking that none of the patrons were eating any of it. There was oatmeal, but no bowls and only brown sugar to go with. The bread pudding was very dry and tasted more like old eggs than anything. The fruit was fresh and we did enjoy that along with the Greek yogurt, although the yogurt wasn't replenished for everyone to partake. I didn't want to cook on Mother's Day, but this wasn't worth the drive, the search for parking, or the money. All of the other moms we spoke to were disappointed, as well. We will never go to Tavernona again.

    It was fine. I had expected better, but at the end of the day it was just a slightly better hotel restaurant. They were definitely understaffed when we were there which I don't understand given that there was a lot going on in the area that night. by 7:00 p.m., they closed the outside door largely discouraging any outside foot traffic. The cocktails were good and the food was only slightly better than fine. I doubt we would ever go back when there are so many other restaurant options in the area.
