Best Contemporary Italian Restaurants in Mission

Great evening with the family to celebrate everyone being home. Food was really good with great flavor.

My second lunch at Plate Italiano Moderno - Leawood. I was even more impressed this time. I ordered a pasta dish the first time and this visit the mushroom pizza was calling my name. It was delicious! To visit any restaurant during the holiday season I expect the noise level to be unbearable. I was pleasantly surprised that despite the number of large groups surrounding our two-top, we were able to converse fairly well.

Best meal we’ve had in a long time! Loved everything from the drinks to the bruschetta (incredible!!) to the perfectly cooked filet. Wish we’d left room for dessert. Next time! Such a darling, classy, quaint place. Cannot wait to go back!

Debbie was incredible. She brings a very comfy, personable vibe to the table without detracting from the higher end approach and atmosphere. That isn't easy to do. Don't know his name, but the red beard who delivered the bulk of our food did a great job describing the food and was a notable addition to the experience. One minor quibble with the food was the salt level. It could be dialed back considerably. This was agreed by all 4 members of our party. It didn't ruin our overall experience. The plating and presentations were all great. The carpaccio and scampi pasta were highlights. Overall a lovely meal, great atmosphere, and kind, attentive service from all involved.

Very nice & quiet location. Has a corner view of 2 streets. Food & drinks wonderful.
