About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Romantic
Welcome to the Crossroads, where Kansas City comes together. An evening at Lazia begins at the hearth with a complimentary house amaro blend as the sound of hip hop's greatest legends fill the room. The menu is both familiar and surprising in its selection of Italian favorites. It offers a collection of Cicchetti and Antipasti to start your meal; an expertly prepared and seasonal selection of handmade, fresh pastas; a satisfying collection of Secondi; and few moments of surprise & delight!

Named for another Crossroads O.G. and pal of Pendergast, Johnny Lazia, our dinner-only restaurant sits at the Crossroads of Italian culinary inspiration and the farms and fields of the Heartland in the Midwest.

We are currently open 7 days a week from 5:00pm - 10:00pm
Valet Parking for Lazia guests is $9, but street parking is also available.

Lazia is happy to accommodate most dietary restrictions.

    We had a fantastic experience at Lazia! We took out of town family there for dinner and the food, service and ambience was perfect! We shared multiple dishes and each one was unique and thoughtfully prepared! We will definitely be back!

    We had been to Lazia several years ago and couldn’t really remember the experience. Let’s start with the good. Great ambiance, unique main room, that was all good. Now on to the rest of the experience. We ordered drinks: house margarita that had an ice cube that might have taken 90% of the glass leaving a very small actual drink, my wife ordered a dirty martini with blue cheese olives. For a venue like this with large bar I would expect the ability to actually make a craft cocktail as ordered. Not so much .. no blue cheese olives. Wish they had them but still we moved on. Ordered two appetizers: The mussels and focaccia bread. The mussels (all 4 of them) were in a mix of some kind of spiced sausage that was so sodium laden it was hard to eat. Odd presentation and literally 4 mussels. The focaccia was so drenched in some garlic butter it also was an odd presentation. Neither something I would recommend or order again. Additionally, the appetizers came out one and then the second about 5 minutes later? On to entrees. My Son ordered the vodka pasta, my wife initially ordered the shrimp scampi but changed her order to the vodka pasta, I ordered a spinach, artichoke pasta. Order came and the waitress evidently didn’t hear the change of order and brought the wrong entree. My wife didn’t want to send it back but when she saw the pile of shrimp with an oil and crème sauce I knew she didn’t want it. I grabbed the manager, and she was actually very responsive and changed the order and brought out the vodka pasta.  The vodka pasta was OK, however, my artichoke spinach pasta was average at best. The manager was Responsive and I appreciated that to get the orders corrected. I have to say the entire experience was a real disappointment from the beginning to the end. Don’t think Lazia will be on our follow up schedule anytime soon.

    Hi Jennifer, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. It sounds like our teams missed the mark on a few aspects of your experience. I have shared your notes with our culinary and service teams so we can continue to work on improving the guest experience. The culinary team is always tweaking recipes and plating, and seems to have made some misses during your visit. We appreciate the honest review, and hope you decide to give us a try again in the future.

    Overall the food was really tasteful and great! The flavor of everything was unique and tasty. Service and friendliness of everyone was also great. The only drawback of the night was the flow of food…too long in between each course but maybe we caught them on a busy night. We will definitely try again very soon.

    Hi Robert- thanks for taking the time to leave us a review! We're so glad you enjoyed the food and service, but sounds like we missed the mark a bit on the pacing of your meal. We are always working on fine-tuning the guest experience and this feedback is really helpful for our service and culinary teams. We hope you give us another try soon!

    The food and staff was all wonderful! The drinks were tasty and strong. Unfortunately they no longer had the Mozzarella Cart! Only a few in the world, wish they would bring it back and be part of the KC unique dining experience
    LaziaResponded on May 13, 2025
    Thank you for the five star review, Sean! While it's great to hear you enjoyed the drinks, food and staff, I can definitely understand your disappointment in the lack of mozzarella cart. Hopefully we will be bringing it back in the near future, and we do try to offer it occasionally when we are able so keep eyes on our social media for those days!

    I came for the table side mozzarella and sadly it was off the menu
    LaziaResponded on May 13, 2025
    Hi Matt, sorry to hear that you were disappointed our tableside mozzarella is currently not on the menu. We are hoping to bring it back soon, as it was definitely a crowd favorite. We try to ensure our current menus are posted online, and use our social media platforms to announce when we will have the tableside mozzarella back on the menu. Hopefully you are able to make it in next time we have it!
