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.

    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.

    We appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, Scott! It's great to hear that our staff did such an excellent job taking care of you during your visit. Debbie and Stu are some of the best! While it sounds like you enjoyed your meal, we will address the salt concern with our culinary team. We are always working to fine tune all aspects of the Lazia experience. We hope to see you again soon!

    We had the most incredible experience at Lazia last night! My fiancé and I went there to celebrate our engagement, and it couldn’t have been more perfect. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance set the tone—elegant, warm, and intimate. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel special, offering congratulations and impeccable service throughout the evening.

    What a beautiful restaurant and the food was amazing from start to finish. We were in town to go to The Nutcracker Ballet and our waitress asked us what time our show was so she could make sure to have our dinner completed in time. Superb food and customer service! We will return!!
    LaziaResponded 2 days ago
    Thank you for taking time to leave us such a glowing review! We love having guests before (or after) the Nutcracker and it's great to hear the service staff and culinary team were able to wow you and get you to your show on time!

    We have loved every single visit to Lazia and this one was no different. The menu offers a balance of adventurous bites and Italian traditions, but all are equally delicious. The service here can’t be matched by any other KC restaurant—wait staff remembers us each time, even if they’ve only personally helped us once before, and continues to be the friendliest staff we’ve ever met. They go out of their way to celebrate special occasions and make a regular visit more special. You can’t go wrong with a reservation here.

    Thank you for sharing such lovely feedback, Brianna! We love getting the chance to celebrate special occasions (or just regular Friday nights!) with our guests. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

    Unfortunately, we were disappointed… And I hate to say this because I was excited to try a new place…  to start with the restaurant is extremely loud… They need some insulation so people can have a conversation… We were told to order all of our choices and they would course them out… Which they did but after two hours we only had three items… And we were tired of waiting… I felt bad for the waitress… And the manager was very kind… And did not make any excuses and apologized… we left without trying 2 $75 entrées …I’m not sure if they were understaffed in the back of the house…And I would also suggest when somebody orders a glass of wine that you pour a half an inch too much than a half an inch too little…  this could be a great place, but they need to work these things out…
    LaziaResponded on 8 December 2024
    Hi Sherry, Thank you for taking the time to leave us thoughtful feedback from your dining experience. It's unfortunate that our team did not put their best foot forward during your visit. We will be discussing the timing of food and wine pouring standards with our team. As we continue to improve, we hope you will give us a try again in the future.

    The food was amazing and the service was friendly and thoughtful. The only drawback was the preparation time. We ordered several courses and our meal came over the course of nearly two hours. By the time our final pasta course arrived, we were too full to enjoy much of it.
    LaziaResponded on 8 December 2024
    Hi Brittany, Thank you for the review, it's great to hear that the service and food were five star! I am sorry that the timing for your meal seemed to run long, this is something we are continuing to work on both in the dining room as well as in the kitchen. We hope to see you again soon!
