Garozzo's Ristorante: A Cozy Italian Dining Experience in Kansas City, MO

Very loud because it is a small place but so worth it for the food Great service. Great wine. Get there early

We had a great time! I was immediately struck by the character of Garozzo's, observing the many photos on the walls displaying pride over their abundant notable visitors over the years. Definitely enjoyed the cozy vibes of an Italian family style atmosphere, aided by the delightful sounds of Sinatra songs, always a plus to me. We really enjoyed the pesto ravioli! We split it between the two of us and it was a good sized portion. And our server was fantastic as well! Good experience here.

Great appetizers, food, drinks and service! Call early for a reservation! We will definitely be back.

Went to celebrate with my husband for his birthday and loved everything from the reservation to the food. The place was super cozy and clean. There wasn't a spot left open on a Tuesday evening and we couldn't have been more pleased. Love the flavor of the fresh Italian food. Go get ya some!

Visited here for the first time after a Chiefs game with some friends (who are regulars). We were seated righted away, and greeted by a server promptly. We sat in the bar area at a table, and though it was on the smaller side, I have to say it was very clean and nice and welcoming. Like you could just sit there comfortably, and have a nice Italian meal. I unfortunately did not take as many pictures as I normally do. The appetizer we had was a very popular one there, and it was the Sicilian Garlic Dip with Bread....and OMG....delicious! I had the Capelli D'Angello. Just a nice, light pasta dish that was also delicious. They give you generous portions and I definitely could not eat it all. So I unfortunately did not get dessert. But I will next time I go back!

Not once have I been disappointed with Garozzo's! Whether it's dining in or catering, they knock it out of the park every time. We had a large group of about 15 people & service was on point. Jessica was sure everyone had a full drink & was so well versed on the menu! She didn't miss a beat. Highly recommend the artichoke for an appetizer. The seafood ravioli is absolutely delicious, as well as the lobster spiedini. You can't go wrong with finishing the meal off with a dessert drink either!

My brother, brother-in-law, and I wanted to experience Garozzo's for a special reason and it was highly recommended by friends who were in the area before. We were not disappointed in the least. We came for lunch and we're the first ones in the restaurant at opening, but it filled up quickly. There's framed pictures of all the "famous" people who've eaten here, some family photos of the owners and his four daughters, and of course Frank and Dean. All the staff that interacted with us were very friendly. I had two Lemoncellotini which was lemoncello with vodka. My family wanted some beer but it turned out their draft system was out of order so they had to do bottles. A 17% Tank 7 and a Italian Moretti hit the spot. Our appetizer choices were oil and garlic (schmutz as my brother-in-law says), the Sicilian stuffed artichoke (so good), a tomato "Lombardo" salad, and some Ceasar salads. Garozzo's is famous for inventing the "spiedini" which came in chicken, beef, or seafood. We went with two chicken and one beef. Outstanding. Lightly fried rolled meat with some seasoning and bread crumbs in a lemon sauce. You can choose any side pasta off the menu to go with it. I had the vodka blush sauce, one had the marinara. Both were excellent. We ended with some limoncello cake, and the Cafe Garozzo's which was a liquor coffee. Also had cannolis. Unfortunately, the desserts are not made in-house but they were delicious. Garozzo's also has a full bar and wine available including their own label Chianti which is a dry red. Today, wine was 1/2 price for takeout, and I bought two bottles for $22 each. I believe that they have the wine specials all the time. We had a great meal and time at Garozzo's, and would absolutely come back. We were sorry to have missed meeting the owner. About $212 not including tip, and they have built in their system a way to split everything how you want to pay. So, our three people each got a bill for 1/3 price of everything we ordered. First time for me seeing this!

This place came highly recommended by a local that my husband knows. I feel like it was incredible. We started with the bread and garlic dip which were great. I especially loved tie garlic olive oil dip. We also tried the calamari Friti. It was paired with two dips. My husband did the seafood ravioli as his main course. I had the Santa Teresa salad. My daughters had the fettuccine Alfredo. Everything was superb. Sadly, the only picture I took was of the wine bottle. For those curious, the atmosphere is perfect for a date. They do have children's menus so kids are welcome. The restaurant was clean. They had a phenomenal drink menu, including a long list of wines. We will definitely be back. I loved the food, the ambience, and service was quick.
