It's been a minute since my last visit, and I'm thrilled to report that absolutely nothing has changed... and for once, that's actually a compliment. ​Round 1: The Liquid Diet ​Naturally, I kicked off my personal Tour of Italy with a couple of custom cocktails. ​The Elegant Marguerite: Fantastic, but don't let the name fool you. This "elegant" drink has a dark side and can cause a first round knockout. Proceed with caution. ​The Limoncellotini: Hands down, the absolute star of the show. Sweet, smooth, and hit every single note on the playlist. Pure perfection. ​Phase 2: The Carbs & Carnage ​Next up was the appetizer round. I went with the Calamari Fritta, served with a classic marinara and a seriously impressive pesto-style sauce. The calamari itself was light, airy, and practically melted in my mouth. ​For the main event, I ordered their specialty: Chicken Vincenzo. We're talking lightly breaded chicken with mushrooms, garlic, and herbs and one heck of a flavorful sauce, side-chicked by a plentiful portion of linguine. The pasta was a masterclass in al dente, and this lived up to the hype. ​The Service & The Happy accident. ​Our server was fantastic--actually took the time to pour our drinks tableside and drop some stellar meal recommendations. The place was also impeccably clean, as you'd expect. ​But the real test of a great restaurant is how they handle a hiccup. One of our friends ordered the eggplant parm, but the kitchen accidentally sent out chicken parm instead. Now, they absolutely would have bent over backwards to replace it, but the chicken looked so darn good they just went with it anyway. When a mistake tastes that good, you know the kitchen isn't messing around. ​10/10. Will be back to get hammered by that Marguerite again.

The sugo is solid. Arnacini were a little small, but got the job done. My son and wife are big fans of the gnocchi. That dish was big. The lasagna is a smaller portion - about the size of your first, but you can tell the pasta was fresh. Spedini was tender and juice, but even with oil and herbs, there was something missing. There is a old school Italian ambiance with the decor. It works for Overland Park but just seems kind of weird in a strip mall.

A nice place to eat and I plan to try dinner sometime. The only downside was that our server dropped off the check without asking if we wanted dessert. I mentioned it and she apologized.

It's not listed on the…read moremenu, but you can request it anytime, and thank youuuu because theirs was exactly what I wanted. 10/10 birthday dessert. Food-wise, I had the Spaghetti & Wagyu Beef Meatball, and our table also got the lasagna and chicken parm. Everything was good and everyone was happy, but for the price (about double most other Italian chains), nobody was really blown away... until dessert. Between the crème brûlée and tiramisu, the entire table agreed that was the standout part of the meal. They were slammed when we went and we had a few service changes because of the rush. Getting drinks and putting our order in took longer than usual, but once we had a consistent server, it was all good. Busy nights happen. They also did a solid job keeping everything clean even during the chaos, and the restaurant itself is really beautiful. I'll be back, but I'm probably coming back just for the crème brûlée. The food was good, it just felt pricey for not having anything that really stood out in portion or flavor for my whole family. I had multiple family members in my party who've eaten here a lot tell me it tastes noticeably different than it used to. They said they've mentioned it to management before and were told changes were made to cut costs, and honestly, it shows in quality unfortunately. They don't plan to come back because of that, but I'll happily return for dessert.

Welcoming, extremely knowledgeable of the menu when discussing recommendations, attentive, prompt in fulfilling any dining requests and she made our dining experience comfortable throughout our 2+ hrs stay. Apps: All beef Italian Meatballs and Calamari Entrees: Chicken Parmesan and Chicken Pesto Sliders with mixed greens & side of marinara Dessert: Banana Caramel Butter Cake * scratch kitchen and made to order entrees allowing substitutions The meatballs, made of angus beef sat in marinara, polenta and grana padano cheese. The cheese was a delightful bold contrast to very well blended meatballs. It wasn't extremely creamy polenta but melted enough to eat along with the meatballs. By themselves seasoned goodness. Calamari was all rings, battered which was a different breading than I was used to but very good with both sugo and calabrian aioli provided. The portion was standard restaurant quantity but of course rings are honestly premium. Chicken parm plated along side parmesan rigatoni had crispy breading flavor with provolone and mozzarella atop. Every bite was savory. I needed a little salt on the rigatoni. My friend said her sliders were good too, even though the bread may look stiff, it was soft, she wanted the side of marinara for more moistness. We shared the dessert.. the butter cake was divine. One of the best butter cakes I've had. Not enough caramel so I hogged a lot of it with the ice cream & bananas. All of food was scrumptious!

The ambiance is great, with low lighting and candles on each table. The bar area has a couple of TVs, a bar that seats about 6-8, and 4-5 tables. The staff was pleasant and took great care of us. Now for the food! I ordered the seafood ravioli, and my son ordered the Penne Victoria. While we each enjoyed the dish we ordered, we both ended up preferring each other's dish...lol. The sauces on both dishes were so good and really made the meals stand out. This was a great pick for our February restaurant of the month. We'll definitely be back!

The Moderno salad -- with cherries, cured beef, pine nuts, and goat cheese -- was flavorful, though the espresso vinaigrette unfortunately tasted more like straight vinegar than espresso. I had the short rib bolognese and it was absolutely delicious. Others at the table ordered the Funghi pasta with creamy white sauce, which was good but could have used a bit more mushroom flavor. The Toscana chicken breast (bone-in) with sun-dried tomato sauce had that perfect "marry me" flavor -- rich and satisfying. For dessert, we had the Plate chocolate cake with raspberry and pistachios. It was a huge slice, with a rich chocolate flavor. So why not five stars? Despite having reservations, we were seated right by the kitchen where servers pick up food. Made more annoying because the restaurant had a lot of empty booths and tables in the main dining room. The upside was that the pizza ovens kept us warm, but it wasn't the most relaxing spot. There were also a couple billing issues: the tip was calculated on the post-tax total rather than pre-tax. Also our prix fixe dinners included dessert and we opted to upgrade to a different dessert from the menu. Oddly the up-charge was $6, even though the menu price difference was only $3. That said, Plate offers delicious, well-priced food (though the drinks are on the expensive side), and it's still a great choice for Italian food in Kansas City

I don't eat pasta and really don't care for Italian food, but I was extremely happy to see that they had an abundance of food offerings that I loved.

A couple of us also had the bread pudding, which was really good too. We will definitely be going back!
