Good food. Pasta is good. Wines are average but good for price. Italian sodas are unique. Service is friendly.

Debated writing this but felt like I had to share my experience. We came in with a large group for dinner on a Sunday night and genuinely had a great time--good food, great service, and a bit of nostalgia too. Some of us had celebrated my engagement at the previous restaurant in that space, so coming back years later felt kind of sweet. We also had just come from next door (Smoke Brewery which is owned by the same owner) and had a great time there as well. Unfortunately, any goodwill was completely undone by the owner's behavior as we were leaving. One of our guests took a handful of mints from the bowl near the door (yes, probably a little excessive--but not criminal), and the owner made a sarcastic remark and then as our group is outside, the owner shook the mint bowl at us through the window. If that sounds like an overreaction, it gets better. When a few members of our group politely went back in to ask what the issue was, the owner accused one of us of being a "thief" and said the problem wasn't the mints, but "his attitude"--despite there being zero issues at our table all night. No comments from the server, no complaints from other patrons. In fact, a staff member later ran into us and said our group was lovely and caused no disruption at all. What followed was even more disappointing: a member of our party posted a personal review sharing her experience, and instead of addressing it professionally, the owner responded from his personal social media account--posting false claims (like that we had to be escorted out, which simply never happened) and even targeting people in our group who are business owners, saying things like "if you own what you say." Not sure if that was supposed to be clever, but it just came off immature and defensive. The most ridiculous part? He accused our group of using misogynistic slurs--which, again, absolutely did not happen. If there had been any issues, surely someone would've said something at the time. But there was nothing--until a few mints apparently sent this man into a spiral. Which, if you own your own business, thick skin is a necessity at times. No accountability has been taken, and the way things escalated makes it hard not to feel like this was weirdly personal. Which is sad, because we genuinely enjoyed the food and service, and were excited to return. Several of us work in or own businesses ourselves--we understand how tough the industry is, and we aren't malicious people. But this level of unprofessionalism, lack of integrity, and public pettiness? Not something we're interested in supporting. read more

Service was good, the food was average. The room is still attractive, one of the nicer in Lees Summit.

It's a no from us Terrible service we were never greeted at the door. We sat for quite a while without being greeted by our server or any water. Drinks took forever, once we got our food it tasted terrible ! The shrimp scampi had no flavor and the sauce on the tortellini was so thick and tasted like it came from a jar. We each had one bite and sent it back. read more

Much better than the previous Mexican restaurant . I got the spaghetti and meatballs and I will say it's not the best Italian I've ever had, but it was delicious. The portion size was great for the price. I did not try any of the cocktails. The atmosphere is great and so are the staff. We sat at the bar and had awesome service, shout out to Casey and Mike! read more

Very nice Italian restaurant, love the decor and ambiance! Nice selection of food and drinks at a reasonable price. Food and service were amazing and portions were in abundance! So excited to have a wonderful Italian restaurant in the area! read more

Food was decent enough and the portions were big. The service was terrible. I ordered lasagna and she said, "with meat sauce?" I said yes and learned when I got the bill that it was an extra $4.00. If you want good Italian in Lees Summit, go to Bella's. They have great food and great service. read more

We had a large group of 10, celebrating a birthday. Our waiter G was fantastic. Food was great. Drinks were great! We will be back!

I have been to Vetta several times now, and each time, the food and service have always been outstanding (especially the short rib!) We love to come and eat on the patio with our pup, and it's always a wonderful experience. But, last Saturday night, they went over and above. I showed up there with a buddy at 8:55pm, and discovered that they close at 9pm on Saturdays. We went in and asked if there was any way they could serve us, and without hesitation, they said YES! We sat at the bar, had dinner and drinks, and the bartender told us to "just take your time". Never rushed us, and it really let me know just what kind of great and gracious people work there! Just really made an impression. read more

It's a shame when the toasted ravioli is the best thing on the menu. It's frozen and thrown in a pan of grease. Food is overpriced and underwhelming. Beautiful restaurant but without a great chef it just is waste. There are plenty of fantastic chefs if the owner would just invest in the food and help. Come on Lee's Summit; you can do better. read more

There's potential but there's way more room for improvement. I went here on a double date a couple weeks ago with a Saturday 5 PM reservation. There was no one at the host stand so we stood around feeling awkward for a few minutes. When our waitress arrived and asked if we were interested in drinks or apps, I asked what apps she would recommend, and it was clear that she hadn't tried any of them and couldn't make an informed recommendation. We got the deep-fried gnocchi, which was really tasty, but would've benefited from a dipping sauce. We also ordered the Sicilian olive oil, which the waitress apparently forgot about because it never arrived and she just seemed surprised when we said we didn't want it anymore. I ordered the Chicken Spiedini which I was excited to try. A short while later, the waitress came back out and said they were out of the spiedini so I opted for the Fettuccine Alfredo. The sauce was a bit bland and the noodles were overcooked so there was no point in taking the leftovers home. A couple of our party ordered the short rib and polenta, and it was absolutely delicious. The manager stopped by at some point, but didn't ask for any feedback about the food or service so I kept my mouth shut. I'm not sure this place is worth a second chance, but if I gave it one, I'd definitely get the fried gnocchi again! read more

best toasted ravioli ever. super salmon in piccata background piano was a nice touch Open roll up door very pleasant read more

Everything about this restaurant was wonderful. The food was outstanding - the drinks were great - and the service was phenomenal. Nothing negative to say about this place or our experience. Our server Danny a/k/a hottie mchotterton was incredible - attentive, knowledgeable, fun and just all around perfect. He really made our girls night one of the best ever. Plan on making this a regular spot for happy hour and/or dinner. read more

A friend brought me here. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and the eggplant was so tough I couldn't even cut it with my knife. My friend tried to cut it, same thing. I told the waiter. He took it back to the kitchen to show the chef. No word back. So I had an eggplant Parmesan with no eggplant. When the bill came we were charged full price. I boxed it up and sent it home with my friend who thought someone in their house might eat it. Very disappointed. Will never return. read more

First of all the appetizer was delicious. We had the fried 4 cheese raviloi so started great. I had spaghetti and meatballs. The portion was large, had 3 good sized meatballs. The sauce was very spicy, too spicy for me. I like mine a little more mild. The meatballs were terrible. Way too salty (main complaint) and dry. They were unedible. My daughter had shrimp scampi which she said could have been better if it had more sauce. It was served with angel hair pasta and she said there was not enough sauce to even cover the pasta. The shrimp were good and there were plenty but she did not like that the tail was still on the shrimp. The bread is nothing more that a few slices of store bought Italian sandwich loaf. Plain, no butter, no garlic. Yuck. They really need to update that!!! Our server was very good and prompt. Probably won't go back. Bella's is much better read more

Not good at all ! Wife had the Alfredo..When server checked back after 1/2 eaten and asked how it was she said I think they forgot the Parmesan in the sauce..He said I think so too..Would you like some? I had the Tortellini Alla Panna...Overly thick sauce . All stuck together like glue. Also at 3:30 in the afternoon they were out of Spiedini . Was asked if we had a reservation when we entered..There were only 3 other customers and all seated in booths in bar area. LOl. Will not recommend or go back. read more
