Lidia's

Great place to have a special meal. I recommend reservations The decor is amazing. There is a nice wine and cocktail menuThey serve bread before dinner. We all enjoyed the meals. The pasta is unlimited and delicious We ended with tiramisu and coffeeService could have been better. No one recommended wine or explained the menu.

Of all the years I have been in the KC area, I hadn't tried Lidia's until last night. I had heard mixed reviews but my friend and I decided to give it a try. She ordered the meatballs. Her order came with 2 medium sized meatballs topped with a small amount of marinara sauce for fifteen dollars. I ordered the manicotti. It was one and a half manicotti tubes (cut into three pieces) the filling was ricotta cheese and spinach for twenty-five dollars. My entree arrived within 5 minutes of placing my order, which had me realizing that the manicotti was most likely scooped out of a premade pan of manicotti. The cheese on top definitely looked and felt as it had been sitting in a warmer for some time. We also ordered two ice teas and one slice of tiramisu. Our bill total was sixty-six dollars. I felt for the quantity and quality of the food, that was very pricey. The tiramisu was the best item of the evening. It was seventeen dollars for one slice though.Our server was nice but must have had a lot of tables as we didn't see her but maybe twice the entire visit. We both agreed that Lidia's probably won't be on our list of restaurants to return to.

Solid dinner with well executed dishes. The 2 types of bread dip (tapenade and basil bean) is definitely a bonus. Beautiful ambiance with a cozy fireplace. Dishes we loved:Beet salad with pears and goat cheese- the salad was delicious, not saucy or salty. Salmon- great flavor and tender. Cooked to perfection (medium rare). Tiramisu- light and creamy, perfect blend of sweet and bitterness.

Beautiful atmosphere, huge portions, delicious food, and excellent service. We made reservations several months ago for a family dinner. I would highly recommend making a reservation. A few of us showed up early but we enjoyed the happy hour in the bar/lounge area. There's several happy hour beverages and small plates to choose from. Our table all went with the three course pasta trio and if you haven't been, I would highly recommend it. Just make sure to bring your appetite. It starts off with a Caesar salad. The thing was huge! Like double what you would expect. The Caesar dressing is pretty light and a bit vinegary but I liked it. And the focaccia croutons were delicious. Next comes the unlimited pasta trio. It varies based on the day but we tried the pappardelle bolognese, chicken ravioli, and Cacio e Pepe. They were all delicious and I'd have a hard time choosing a favorite. This was the freshest pasta I've ever had. They give you a ton and I couldn't even make it through one serving. Finally for dessert I chose the Delizie Al Limone-Light Lemon Sponge Cake Soaked with Limoncello, Lemon Pasty Cream, and Lemon Curd. So fresh and bright. I made room for it because it was so good. Our group left with full happy bellies and I enjoyed my carb coma. Definitely check them out!

Finally got to go here and try it after years of hearing about how great it is and it did not disappoint! My friend and I made a girls night of it and there was also a group of gentlemen next to us who were having a guys night. Definitely a place for all to enjoy! We got the tasting trio each and of course I paired mine with some delicious salad, wine and tiramisu. The bolognese was so good, but so was everything honestly. The tiramisu was to die for. We are still talking about it when we get together now. I cannot wait to go back!

I decided to come to Lidia's as I had seen online that they had carbonara, which is one of my favorites. To my dismay, they no longer had it on the menu. So I went with the chicken picatta. Now, picatta to me should have a notable lemon flavor, which this dish was severely lacking. Honestly the sauce didn't have much flavor at all. Although I was disappointed in my main dish, the bread was the star of the show. They served it with two different house made butters, one was a pesto butter and the other a chickpea butter. Fantastic. I will for sure try it out again, as I believe that the dish I chose was just lacking. The restaurant itself was beautiful. With wide open rafters and a gorgeous floor to ceiling fireplace, this would be the perfect date night spot! Looking forward to giving it another try the next time I happen to be in KC.

When it comes to dollars spent/food eaten, Lidia's may take the cake. Coming from someone who can eat a lot of food, these portions were huge! We came in with no reservations, but the restaurant is large enough that I don't see you needing them unless it is a busy occasion or you have a large group. Interested in trying some of the menu items next time around, but the pasta trio was a hit!

This was a really excellent experience! Our friends in town from Central Kansas wanted to visit Lidia's. Living here less than two years, we had not heard of it. but we were game to try it. Turns out my wife knew of the chef that is the owner of this place.Three of us opted for the special with three different pastas, a salad and dessert. The other diner very much enjoyed his short rib over potatoes. Our server, Susan, was very attentive and provided amazing service in this charming restaurant that used to be a train house north of Union Station. All of us agreed that we would like to return for another meal here. The Special this evening was three different pastas. One of them was a pear ravioli with pepper butter, another was a spiral pasta with some fiery tomato sauce and shrimp, accompanied by a fettuccine Bolognese that was a little light on the beef and pork. That was literally our only complaint. And it wasn't a complaint more like an observation.The Caesar salad here is easily in the top five I've ever had. All of us enjoyed our fabulous desserts as well. This place is a treat!

I got the pasta tasting trio which is unlimited pasta of their 3 they are serving - all were good but I was jealous of my boyfriend's Brasado he got. Great service, comfortable seating and delicious food. Next time I come I'll plan to get a dish off the menu.

This is my second time at Lidia's. Last time, I didn't get to try their pasta trio. we got that thing figured out in this visit. We started with trying their wine options. Our waiter has some decent suggestions. White wine was so good. Then, We ordered Scampi & their 38$ Three course food which has Ceaser salad, Pasta trio & a choice of dessert. Scampi w Shrimp - Shrimp looked fresh & cooked very wellCeaser salad - Fresh & goodPasta trio - Couldn't finish 'em all ended up taking them home.Best one of the night is their Tiramisu, probably the best tiramisu in town.Overall, Food - 4/5; Ambience & Service - 5/5
