Viona's Italian Bistro

This was a fantastic first visit but mostly due to the food. The prices were super affordable compared to some other Italian restaurants.This visit occurred on a Friday right before 6pm and it was already busy and quite loud. By 6:30 there was already wait! I only know this because we were seated right behind the host. Also when we walked in we noticed how dark it was, so dark our eyes had to adjust before reading the menu.We decided to start off with some basic dishes but one of which happens to be my favorite Italian dish, spaghetti w/ meatballs and fettuccine Alfredo for our daughter. If you can't do basic well, then good chance your other dishes won't meet the expectation. Well, they were both very delicious! The Alfredo was mild and just enough flavor but not too much where you can still taste the noodle. The spaghetti sauce was seasoned just right and noodles perfectly "al dente". There were 4 halved meatballs if put together would probably be a bit smaller than a pool ball (mind you I have shot pool for a couple years now). It even had thinly sliced sautéed garlic pieces! Only complaint I have is that our server definitely forgot about us after getting our boxes. Literally sat there talking with my wife for 20+ mins before finally getting the attention of the host for our check. He was super nice and got our server to bring the check and they both apologized for the wait. Over all a great foodie experience and would have been in and out in less than an hour if we didn't have to wait for our check. We'll definitely come back to try some other dishes we are interested in!

Had a lovely dinner with some of my work family while I was in town. It was a great space where we could catch up and have a great meal. The service was great as four women took our time to decide what we were going to get! The patient waiter refilled our water and offered suggestions and made sure we were cared for while we gabbed away. When it was time for dessert we split the tiramisu and the limoncello cake. Both delightful and the best ending to a great night! This place is a fun spot, not the highest of fine dining with a relaxed space and good food.

Viona's is a hidden gem in the KC area. Everytime I come here the service is great and the food is amazing, and lunch today was no different. They have a lovely dining area that feels intimate and relaxed whether it's lunch or dinner. The lunch menu has great prices and selections and come with a salad and their yummy homemade rolls. I love their fettuccine Alfredo and chicken pasta dishes, but today I tried the sampler with beef ravioli, lasagna and cheese manicotti and was reminded how great their red sauce dishes are. Everything is homemade with care and makes you feel like you're in a bistro in Italy! You truly can't go wrong with anything you choose here.

We arrived at Viona's on a Saturday night around 7:00 PM. There was already a long wait and tables filled with laughter, sips, and tastes. We were greeted warmly; we were then seated after our wait time. The server was friendly and helpful as he answered questions about drink pairings with food, recommendations for entrees, and more. They brought us bread with olive oil to begin. I ordered the fruitti de mare which came with a salad--I chose Mediterranean. The salad was very delicious and I enjoyed the dressing. However, the star of the show was the frutti de mare which was extremely delicious--the seafood was cooked beautifully and I couldn't get enough of it! The pasta was also yummy; I highly recommend this dish. It paired beautifully with a glass of Pinot Grigio. This is a hidden gem in KC with a warm, intimate feeling, delicious food, and yummy drinks. I highly recommend and I will be visiting again!!

I had the pleasure of trying this place out Tuesday evening. It is a small, quiet restaurant. Service was exceptional. Our food was superb. My friend and I shared the chefs special so we could save room for dessert. So happy we did. The shrimp was plump and delicious. The chicken was tender. I was initially concerned about hot cherry peppers but they just added a tiny kick of flavor. The peach Bellini was amazing. My friend got an Italian margarita- it was so sweet and yummy, also very strong! We finished off the night with their limoncello cream cake. It did not disappoint. Highly recommend this little gem!

Celebrated hubby's birthday with a lovely late lunch at Viona's Bistro this week. They have lunch specials, but we chose to order off the dinner menu. We shared the Italian Sausage appetizer which was recommended by others on Yelp. Delish!! Fresh rolls with a bruschetta-like dipping sauce was brought to the table gratis, too. Then, we split the Sprimp and Scallop Pasta dish. Oh my. Lovely sauce, nice size shrimp. Extra fresh Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top at the table. Plenty to eat! I ordered a glass of Moscato and that was devine. For dessert, we shared a slice of Limoncello Cake, which was brought to the table with a lit BD candle! Seriously, everything we had was great. They said they've been open for 5-years, but we had never been before. We will from now on, though. As we were leaving, it looked like the local Italian fussball team was piling in. Viona's has a nice intimate size dining room, so I can see why some reviewers say it can get crowded. We were there mid-afternoon which was perfect. Go early -- they don't close between lunch and dinner.

Wonderful place, with wonderful people. Upon entering the beautiful establishment I was greeted by a very respectful gentleman that escorted me to my table. Upon sitting down I was almost immediately approached by staff with a water & menu. They also brought out bread with an amazing spread on the side as seen in the photo. Italian music played in the background with a beautiful lighting in the bistro. The menu was well ordered and explained. The staff was knowledgeable with outstanding serving etiquette. I ordered the shrimp Alfredo which was rather flavorful and came with ginormous shrimp, I enjoyed it very much. Would highly recommend Viona's for their wonderful service, knowledge and well prepared food. Thank you Viona's for a wonderful meal!

I found this place on Yelp and had it bookmarked forever! We went there on a Sunday evening and were sat right away. The staff was very friendly and super attentive. The atmosphere calm but not too stuffy. It's a great place for a date or to take the family. Now the food! Oh my! The pasta was absolutely Amazing! The complimentary bread and sauce was delicious and so soft. The calamari I could do without. It tasted frozen and chewy. Now the pasta ... oh my goodness! The best pasta I've had. Cooked just right! Proportions were great and the sauces/ meat were soooooo good! We cannot wait to bring our family here. Definitely a new favorite spot.

Stopped by this new to me Italian Bistro - constantly looking for really good Italian in the KC Metro area - and was hugely pleased with this lovely little place. The ambiance is simple and cozy: linen even at lunch, a small outdoor area on a quiet street, small bar complete with twinkle lights and really friendly people. The lunch menu looked very good and a good value, but I wanted seafood and pasta, linguini and clams or their shrimp and scallops with Alfredo. I chose the latter and was very pleased. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked. The pasta was 'just so' ardente. Really very good. I was also impressed with the starter salads and the bread service with flavored oil. The rolls are sensational. I preferred the Italian cream cake to take home and trust it will be delicious. Oh! And my wine pour was generous. I am looking forward to coming back!

I have no words! We made reservations for my daughter's bday. We were seated promptly and our waitress came right away. The rolls. My god. Little toasty on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Came with a side of oil with garlic and peppers and onion. We had 7 in our party and we all ordered different items. Everyone absolutely loved what they had. I chose spaghetti and meatballs with shrooms. So flavorful and just delicious. Shrooms chopped into chunks! I have enough leftovers for 2 meals. So highly recommend this restaurant. Can't wait to try the chicken parmigiana! No pics as we inhaled it too fast!
