When we arrived, the Matre'd welcomed us, asked if we had a reservation, and offered to seat us. Although we usually prefer the bar, it was full. Sensing our preference, he said watch this and arranged with the guests so we could still enjoy our usual spot. His thoughtful gesture made us feel right at home. Choosing a dish is the hardest part. I ordered an Italian beer. Normally a Peroni, but tonight it was a Moretti. The house salad is simple and fresh. Italian dressing with blue cheese crumbles certainly hits the spot and is perfect for the main course. Tonight, I went with one of my favorites, Cavatelli Catania, and it is perfect. So hot that when you turn the pasta over, the steam rolls out. Just the way I like it. Extra cheese on top, and you are good to go. Not only now, but there is so much there is enough to take away and have another meal. I almost hate to comment on Salvatore's because more people will be coming there, and I won't be able to sit at the bar for dinner, a drink, and fun conversation. They take such good care of me; I have to take care of them. Capeesh?

A hidden gem I didn't expect!…read more I recently visited Café Verona in Independence, MO, and it was a wonderful experience! The atmosphere was cozy, welcoming, and perfect for a relaxing meal. The pasta was absolutely delicious--fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. I also tried the sangria, and it was one of the highlights of my visit. It was refreshing, well-balanced, and paired perfectly with the meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making the overall dining experience even better. If you're looking for a great spot for authentic Italian food, delicious drinks, and a comfortable atmosphere, Café Verona is definitely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu!

Cafe Verona should be on more people's radar when it comes to Italian food in KC. Plus, it's nice to get a drink next door at the Sentinel before you head in for a delicious dinner. P.S. I ask for their vodka rosa sauce with the fettuccine noodles with the chicken parm and it will blow your mind.

I thought calling my local Pizza Hut would be enough to file a formal complaint and get some kind…read moreof resolution--but it didn't go as planned. So, here we are. Let me tell you about my experience today at the Blue Springs, MO location. It was as disappointing as ordering a pizza and only getting the box. Honestly, I might have preferred that. First, the pizza itself. It barely had any pepperoni or cheese on it. I've seen crackers with more toppings. When I called to address the issue, I spoke with Kayla, the manager on duty. Unfortunately, Kayla seemed more interested in laughing and chatting with her coworkers than actually helping me. When I brought up the lack of toppings, my ongoing frustration with this location's consistent issues, and the fact that I had told my husband we shouldn't order from here because well the pizza is always disappointing. Kayla seemed to find the whole situation amusing. Spoiler: it wasn't. She offered no solutions--no refund, no credit. Instead, she pointed out that since I had given my 3-year-old the smallest piece of pizza to calm a meltdown, where she was screaming "I love messed up pizza," when I was trying to explain it needed to go back... I wasn't eligible for anything. When I asked for the corporate number to escalate the issue, she claimed she didn't know it and wasn't motivated to find it. She eventually mentioned it was online but admitted she wouldn't even know where to direct me. The only real help Kayla gave me during the entire call was spelling her name correctly. That's it. Beyond that, she sarcastically offered to remake the pizza, adding that she didn't know how many times she'd have to remake it since I "clearly don't like the way they make pizza, their crust, or their toppings." Not exactly the customer service experience I was hoping for. At this point, I'm not picky--I'm just looking for someone, anyone, from Pizza Hut to step in and Make Apizza Great Again. Please let me know how we can resolve this. And maybe consider a refresher course in customer service for Kayla--because sarcasm and dismissal shouldn't be part of a manager's skillset. There are two other Blue Springs Pizza Huts that have both provided pretty consistent and excellent service. It's this location that consistently disappoints. Thanks, Jen

We loved the ambiance, inside and out, which was perfect for a date night. Our server was excellent! I can't remember his name, but he said he didn't usually work on Wednesdays. I wish I could remember him; he was really fantastic. He made many suggestions and was a very entertaining and knowledgeable server; he seemed passionate about working there. We had the seafood fettuccini, and I had the chicken spaghetti. Our food was delicious. My pasta had no sauce, and there wasn't any on my dish, which was a bummer, but the complimentary rum cake made up for it. We shall return!

Oh man this place was BOMB!! Delivered to work and enjoyed happily…read more I ordered the sandwich and salad combo, to which I picked the fresh turkey and tomato salad. I mean look at that tomato salad. I was nervous it would be overwhelming with pesto with how green it was, but my oh my I could absolutely have this salad every single day of my entire life. Super fresh, light and just perfection. Could use a tad pinch of salt, but I'll get over it. Turkey sandwich was also fresh and I liked the caramelized onions in the sandwich. I'd come back!

I say Plaza area as it's sort of Plaza adjacent, and has a certain charm to this stretch of the city.

The food is great - I usually go for something light as the tiramisu is great. All in all it's a great little spot in KC and worth a visit in this neighborhood.

My fiance and I were craving some Italian after church and we found Bella's only a few miles away…read more We are new to the area and have never heard of it so had no idea what to expect. Ambiance was cool - it was low light, lots of wood and interesting architecture. Definitely felt "old school" in a good way. Not what we were expecting from the outside which is not particularly unique as far as the build out. We waited at the host stand for a bit but it was clear every worker was in the middle of a task (we saw a very large party and it seemed like food for every table was Just coming out). One thing I really admired was that every employee that walked by (running to a table with a tray of food, turning a ticket in, etc.) made eye contact with us and acknowledged our presence and apologetically said, "We will be right with you!" We didn't wait long at all and we didn't care even if we did, but I just thought that was so kind compared to some joints where employees who are busy just pretend you are not there. We were met with kindness at the door and that meant more to me than the great service and great food. The rolls are SO good and they come out warm. I had the Murphy which was very flavorful and on the spicy side, while my fiance had chicken Alfredo. We both left full and happy! We will definitely return!
