I came here for my birthday dinner from the recommendation of a friend. I'm not from KC, and she is. Anyway, this place is super small in Westport and really cute. It's got a nice homey Italian feel but still trendy. We had a reservation for 6pm on a Tuesday, and I definitely recommend having a reservation unless you plan on waiting.
Their wine list is large compared to their food menu. We ordered the baked goat cheese appetizer with crusty bread. It was so good! Each of our entrees also came with a small Caesar salad which I didn't expect. I ordered the lasagna. It came out in a mini skillet. Originally I was disappointed with the size, but I could barely finish it. It's bigger than you think it is! The sauce and meat and cheese combination was absolutely divine. The gooey stringy cheese was commercial-worthy. It also came with a large piece of bread. I had a glass of moscato with my meal (I know it doesn't pair, but it's my favorite wine.) My friends both ordered the Tuesday steak special. It's the normal steak entree but for $18 which is a good deal! Their steaks looked amazing. I ordered an amaretti cookie which was delicious and only $1.50.
I typically don't spend $30 for dinner just on myself, but every bite I ate was absolutely worth it! So many things on the menu looked delicious, and the service was great. I definitely recommend this restaurant!
Wonderful service-the staff was friendly and welcoming. Delicious food-the chops were juicy and tender with tons of flavor. I'd highly recommend it!
Love this cozy Italian restaurant! Some of the best food! Highly recommend the sausage and artichoke soup, meatballs, Bolognese, and the clams! Great atmosphere and service! ���

lovely place, great wine and food. a Westport gem. I love the upscale food in a casual setting
This place was amazing! I was in KC visiting a friend a few weeks back. Every time I visit we try new places and I’ll tell you what. This place is one at the top of the list. Everything was outstanding. I’ll definitely be back!!
The food are all old family recipes - amazing! Wine selection is wonderful and well priced. The staff are out of this world. Laura and her crew are the best.
It was my first time there. I had lasagna and it was some of the best I've had. My friend had shrimp and linguni in white wine sauce and said it was great. The staff was very friendly and attentive. One thiby we learned is that it's a small venue and reservations are suggested.
Perfect every time! Staff, food and experience make this a KC crown jewel. If you want to impress out of towners or celebrate with friends, this is the place to go!
We went for our first time on Valentine’s Day. We did not have a reservation, so we were very happy to get a place at the bar. The servers were friendly and informative, and though it was busy, we didn’t feel rushed. We enjoyed brief conversations with others at the bar, making it feel like the perfect little neighborhood spot. We went for pasta dishes which were delicious, but were ‘jealous’ of the pork chops we saw others had ordered. For desert we split cheese cake with strawberries and chocolate. Yum! Better that any I’ve ever had in NY City. You guessed it-we’ll be going back.
Excellent experience!! Food is fantastic and the atmosphere is really cool! We will be back, and recommend it to anyone! This place is a gem in Kansas City!!

So so good. Great service, food came out perfectly paced and tasted amazing. We usually treat ourselves to Pier Ponts- this place wins and we will come back hopefully more often. Worth the 45 min drive �.
Great atmosphere- and best limoncello anywhere! Love the brunch menu as much as the dinner menu!
What a great find! Ragazza was Stop #2 on a Girls’ Night Out. It did not disappoint! A cozy atmosphere and amazing food!
Was invited to a birthday party here so we had to check it out. For a romantic dinner, it is a great spot. Lighting was low and had candles at all the tables so a little dark for a larger party. Service was spot on and the food came out hot and fresh. Food was good quality but a little on the expensive side for the portion sizes. Worth checking out if you are looking for a great couples dinner spot.
Just visited Ragazza, an Italian gem, and I was completely blown away by the culinary excellence and impeccable wine selection. Their food is nothing short of a gastronomic delight, and the wines, each rich with nuanced flavor profiles, have been thoughtfully selected to complement the dishes.
A standout for me was the KC strip steak, which was cooked to perfection. The chef's skill in Italian cooking really shone through in the nuanced flavors and tender texture of the steak. Paired with a bottle from their vast Italian wine selection, it was a match made in heaven.
Wow! Last minute decision. Crowded but got me seated quickly. Service was top notch. Food was really good! Had the Rigatoni Bolognese, one of the best I’ve ever had! Good Italian wine selection as well. Highly recommend!
Excellent food from appetizers to drinks to entrees. Scott was a great server and a definite asset to this restaurant.
One of the best meals I've had in a long time. Everything was delicious. The kid ate his spaghetti and meat balls like he's never eaten before! Loved the polenta. Staff were excellent. We did make a reservation on a Saturday night.
Great place for Sunday Brunch! I got the Lasagna Bolognese and Tiramisu and everything was perfect and super flavorful. The servers were kind and attentive and came around to fill our coffee multiple times. Will definitely go back!
My husband and I enjoyed an anniversary dinner at Ragazza's.
The atmosphere was cozy and cheerful which in a big part was due to the staff... everyone was great from the maitre d' to the bantender to the waitress to those running food and picking up plates.
We started with a Peroni and a Sparkle (limoncello (made in house) Prosecco, and soda)
The food... the food was fabulous, fresh, and well balanced. We started with the Corn Bisque (5 stars) and the Beet Salad (skip- it was the only thing that wasn't FANTASTIC... though it was fine for a beet salad), and our entrees Chicken Piccata with Polenta and Shrimp and Italian Sausage Polenta. Fantastic!!! Delicious!! Scrumptios!!
Dessert, too, was devine!! Flourless dark chocolate espresso cake with fresh crema and Limoncello Cake. Both were in my top 5 ever, but for the summer I'd stick with the Limoncello Cake.
Ahhhhh... Ragazza, thank you for a memorable 5th year anniversary dinner. 💚🤍❤
The food was fresh and robust. I would highly recommend. The prices are VERY reasonable.
This is a hidden gem walking distance from the Marriott hotel where we were staying. Call ahead to make reservation. Small venue but big on personality. Staff was wonderful! Food and wine were exceptional.

My fiancée & I enjoyed a lovely dinner at Ragazza & we will be adding it to a place we will return to.
The staff was top notch & very friendly. A welcoming face goes a long way & it’s not easy to find that.
Appetizers:
Egg Plant Fries - 8/10
I’m a big fan of Egg Plant & the amount of parm & dipping sauces complimented everything so well.
Risotto Ball - 5/10
I liked these, but I feel like there could be more done here. The presentation was great, but biting into the ball itself was disappointing. It wouldn’t have made a difference if there was plain white rice on the inside. I’ve had some incredible risotto & im sure they have some here as well, but I just got no flavor from what was on the inside. That being said, the red pepper sauce makes up for the lack of flavor, but I don’t think the arancini should rely on the sauce.
Espresso Martini - You can skip. It was watery & not worth the price. Get some wine instead!
Salads - Both were a big hit & I would come in just for the Caesar! The anchovies are a great touch.
Sunday Sauce Every Day - 10/10
The sauce was exactly what I expected & more! The meatballs, sausage, & pork each had their own distinct flavor that really made this pasta special. The pork was so tender that it basically melts in your mouth. You get a WHOLE sausage. You can easily share this dish with someone & be satisfied.
Cheesecake - 10/10
I’m not a big cheesecake person, but my coworker said he is & this is his #1 around…he was not wrong. The cheesecake itself is not overly sweet or tart. Its dense, but soft & not too thick. The salted caramel was insane. When you get a chunk of the salt your taste buds go wild. Save some room for this!!
