Cupini's

I've been a customer of cupinis for more than a decade it is a go-to place from desserts to the best pasta in town. I have several Italian friends who say it's better than garozzo's. They're raviolis are absolutely outstanding it is a casual environment to eat in but you can get a glass of wine and a great meal at a decent price you can also get their homemade pastas to go. Now their sandwiches are hands down probably the one of the best sandwiches in town. And use them to cater several times and everyone always raves about the food.

One of our long-standing favorite Italian restaurants in Kansas City. They have been a staple to the area for a really long time. Whether you're ordering takeout or dining in, they are so friendly and welcoming.We try to visit at least once a month and bring home some of their frozen selections to in between our visits. You can't go wrong with their spaghetti and cannolis. Also, the lemoncello is amazing and we have a couple bottles that we keep in our fridge.

Cupini's is my go-to for casual italian in the city. Owner Franco Cupini attended the Culinary School of Rome and has even worked for the former president of Italy. It's counter service - and they offer everything from ready-to-cook pasta to homemade limoncello, catering services and delicious, authentic desserts. Two of their most popular dishes are the Lasagna and the Chicken Prosciutto Tortellini, both of which were tasted by Guy Fieri himself. My personal go-to meal is their build your own pasta bowl with veggies and bechemel sauce. Their covered patio is the perfect place to enjoy Cupini's Thirsty Thursday with $10 bottles of wine all day or Sangria Saturday with $12 sangria carafes before 4 p.m. Check out Cupinis and find out why Kansas City claims some of the best Italian food in the Midwest!

The food here is so good!! If you are looking for fancy & romantic this is NOT the place. Everything is ordered at the front counter & delivered to your table. I had the lasagna which is a MUST try here. They have the best ever!I had a side salad, a glass of Pinot Grigio, garlic bread and the lasagna. My bill was $36.02 which I feel is a bit overpriced considering there are no waiters or waitresses. You pour your own water & soft drinks, get your own cutlery and napkins so this is a bit steep in my opinion.

Food was fresh and delicious. Service took a little long but it was very busy so I'd say as expected. We all had left overs so the portions were nice.

Cupini's is the place for a casual Italian dinner. Service is always fast and the food is always consistent. There's a broad spectrum of menu items. My usual order is chicken parmesan or chicken piccata. Sometimes I'll stray away from the usual and do pizza or pasta. Regardless of what I order as my meal, I always save room for dessert. They make some of my favorite cannolis in town. I found myself at Cupini's a lot over this past summer. The work they've done on the back patio has made it a really nice spot for dinner when the weather cooperates.

Super bummed. Chicken Piccata tasted nothing like any piccata I've made or ordered - and this I know! There were no capers, no lemon wedges or lemon-garlic flavoring. It was basically a salty chicken stock gravy with some maybe canned mushroom sliced and a very stalky asparagus pieces set on top of thin sautéd chicken. I felt like I was having a bad homestyle cooked dinner over-seasoned with chicken stock and they forgot the mashed potatoes! Not even close to Italian vibe imo. Asked for an extra plate, waited long time, and that never came but the food runner said they were brining it. Service is nonexistent, you want it, you go get it and that can mean looking all around for a cup of ice water. No issues with the staff if that's the expectation but that model super sucks as a consumer. Ordered a bottle of wine and food for patio. Then very shortly then asked to leave. If closing soon and I'm not able to complete my meal or drinks, staff should have advised not to order! Poured out drinks and left food.

Ccupini's pasta-tively amazing! Step into this adorable Italian deli-style eatery and get whisked away to Italy in an instant! As you stroll in, you'll be greeted by a lot of tempting pastries at the charming deli counter. I couldn't resist ordering the pesto sandwich and a side spinach salad because, let's be honest, pesto is simply the "besto"! The prices were as good as the food itself, and every bite was incredible. The staff were as warm as a Tuscan breeze, and the outdoor seating area was as cute as a cannoli.

What a gem!!!! This place was such a great find. True Italian food. Everything was bursting with flavor. We all shared a few bites with each other. My favorite may have been the fettuccine. The sauce for all of the dishes were each incredible. The chicken parm was probably my least favorite. Bummer since that was my dish, but still good!! The restaurant has an interesting layout. You walk into what seems like a storefront. Desserts displayed in the window on one end and you place your food order at the other. Pay, then go pick your table through the hallway back to a cozy little dining area. Don't mind the bullet holes in the window, the food is worth it. We ordered a full Tiramisu cake to take home and share. No joke, it was the best I've ever had! Perfect ratio of ingredients, flavor, and it never got soggy or dried out.

I live in Minnesota but grew up on the east coast. The lasagna is New Jersey/NYC like. It's incredible!!!-Kermit
