My sister picked this place for our group to try. Was not disappointed! The service was fantastic! The food was incredible! Our group got the roasted goat cheese, caprese, and the fried eggplant to sample. The fried eggplant was wonderful! Pictured, was my entree, chicken picatta. This was delicious! Just wish there were some bread to soak up the sauce. The chicken being lightly battered was prefect! The lemon squeezed on top was the "cherry on top". For dessert we tried the cheesecake and chocolate cake. The Cheesecake was by far one of the best pieces of cheesecake I've ever had. My first drink was a limondrop which I was not personally a fan of. I ended up with a glass of saracco moscato which was like having another dessert! So good! Well definitely make a trip back here. The atmosphere is appealing as well! Love the decor.

Officially one of my fav Italian restaurants in KC! I had their Bucatini all’Amatriciana and it was very exquisite. The tomato basil sauce was very fresh with a distinct garlic flavor. They have a great selection of drinks as well. I highly recommend this place!

We were recommended by our hotel next door to try this place. Food was superb and service was amazing. The restaurant was extremely busy but the staff was able to serve everyone and keep the food and drinks going. The restaurant was so busy we had to be seated at the bar. The restaurant was extremely beautiful and we had plenty to look at while waiting for our food. I tried the lemoncello shot and it had a nice sweet kick to it. Would definitely go back if we lived closer. You definitely know your eating at the right place when people are standing and waiting for your seat.

Excellent food from appetizers to drinks to entrees. Scott was a great server and a definite asset to this restaurant.

Nice fresh salad. Noodles and meatballs were good but come on, what am I supposed to mop up all the yummy sauce with? I had to order an additional side order of extra noodles for $4 for it.

Finally made it out to Ragazza and really enjoyed! We had appetizers, cocktails, bread, dinner and dessert. We had a great server who really made us feel welcome and was excited to tell us all about the menu. Everything was quite tasty. The winner was the lasagna. The restaurant is very small. There is seating at the bar. Parking is street parking and is a struggle. Restrooms are gender neutral. The entrance is on ground level but not necessarily accessible.

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.

Ragazza! Where to begin with this one and why this isn’t a 5 star restaurant is beyond me. First, the meatball appetizers were delicious. The wine was fantastic. The PORK CHOP and SWORDFISH were unbelievably FANTASTIC! Sides were just as amazing. Ben, our waiter, was extraordinary. My wife and I agree, Ragazza is the best restaurant we’ve ever eaten at. Thank you, thank you, and we will be back.

Such a fun and lively place to enjoy a good Italian meal in KC! My wife and I went here for a date and it was a great spot. It’s a place that can be a romantic, formal spot, a casual date, or family meal. We loved our meal and service was great too. Highly recommend!

Beautiful little Italian restaurant. Service was fantastic!!!! Super quick with the wine refills :) The food was amazing!!! We had the meatball and grilled vegetables to start and they were both super good. Then for dinner we had the Sunday sauce, pesto shrimp and the calms. They were all fantastic dishes. The smells that came off each dish was incredible. The homemade lemoncello to start off was very nice. The wine list is full of wonderful choices. We will definitely be back the next time we are in KC. Cheers.

I was in the mood for some homemade Italian Food and Ragazza definitely delivered. I ordered a drink, the grilled vegetable appetizer and the Sunday Sauce Everyday Entree. My drink and grilled vegetable appetizer were great, but the Sunday Sauce Everyday was the star of the show. The Sunday Sauce Everyday consist of a red and spicy pasta sauce that has been cooked for six hours, with loads of pork, sausage and meatballs. The sauce was unique and bold, if you enjoy red pasta sauce it’s a must have. My only dislike was the meatballs were a little dry. I still recommend this dish. This was my first visit to this restaurant and I would definitely dine there again.

Had the Bresaola and Roasted Beet Salad. Delicious!!!! I absolutely loved the white anchovies with them. The Flourless Chocolate Torte was to die for!!!! Definitely want to come back and try the other dishes. Ideally...I'd love to try all the desserts in one sitting :)

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.

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.

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!

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. 💚🤍❤

I had the soup and swordfish. My wife had a salad and rigatoni. Both were excellent. Put server was great 👍

Incredible food. Great happy hour. Fantastic wine. Every dish on our table and around us smelled and tasted delicious. Service was on point! Thank you for a lovely date night.

Very nice.. owner or manger spent time @several diner's tables.. staff were very attentive & food was delicious.. so much so that we devoured all the stuffed mushrooms before we thought to include pics w/ our review.. maybe next time..

We started with the Arancini 7/10⭐. We felt like they could have had a bit stronger cheese and more flavor. Lasagna was 8/10⭐ and very filling. The shrimp linguine 10/10 ⭐ and I would highly recommend getting this if you like seafood. The portion was smaller than other entrees we had/saw so if you're hungry be sure to add a salad or apps. Dessert was Tiramisu 7/10⭐ flavor was great but the texture was off from a traditional standpoint. Overall I would recommend this cute place. The vibe was 10/10 for sure!!!!

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.

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!

We came here on a whim and it turned out to be PHENOMENAL. Forget all the buzz about dining at the Plaza....place is literally just a few blocks from the plaza...and it's locally owned! Support Small Business!! Food was EXCELLENT, ENTIRE STAFF WAS ON POINT....as in, ENTIRE staff pitched in, not just our primary server. Owner was discreet and wouldn't have known owner was right there- she and Manager (Matt..??) were hands on, greeter every single customer. Chefs did a magnificent job on our food! A PERFECT HIDDEN GEM of Kansas City, very close to the Plaza.

Took my beastie for her birthday brunch and we as first timers were NOT disappointed. We had the Burrata for our appetizer... couldn't snap the pic before we demolished 🤣 and we both ordered the Polenta w Shrimp and sausage and Kale... give my regards to the Chef! It was AMAZING. We are going back soon for the regular dinner menu, but this is Authentic Italian 👌 at its best!

Our recent dining experience at Ragazza in Kansas City was nothing short of a culinary journey to Italy. From the moment we stepped in, the warm ambiance and inviting atmosphere set the stage for a memorable evening. The menu was a delightful fusion of traditional Italian flavors with a modern twist. To start, we savored the Italian Sausage and Artichoke Soup, a comforting bowl of hearty goodness that blended savory sausage and tender artichoke in a creamy broth. The Meatballs appetizer was a taste of perfection, each bite bursting with rich, savory flavor. For the main course, our selections showcased the diverse offerings at Ragazza. The Grilled Lemon Porkchop with Potatoes au Gratin was a triumph of flavors, with the succulent porkchop perfectly complemented by the creamy and indulgent potatoes. The Mediterranean Salad with Steak Skewer was a refreshing and satisfying option, the steak skewer cooked to perfection. The Eggplant Parmesan was a vegetarian delight, featuring layers of tender eggplant, flavorful tomato sauce, and melted cheese. The Sunday Sauce Everyday, a signature dish at Ragazza, was a hearty and authentic Italian experience, with the sauce rich and deeply satisfying. To accompany our meals, we indulged in Sicilian Sunset cocktails—each sip was a burst of citrusy goodness with a hint of sweetness, the perfect complement to our Italian feast. And what's an Italian meal without a sweet ending? The Limoncello Cake was a heavenly dessert, moist and infused with the bright flavors of lemon. Topping it off with a house-made Limoncello shot was the perfect way to conclude our meal. The attentive service at Ragazza added to the overall experience. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu and provided recommendations that enhanced our dining choices. In summary, Ragazza in Kansas City offers an exceptional Italian dining experience. From appetizers to dessert, every dish showcased a dedication to quality and flavor. The ambiance and service further elevated our evening, making it a memorable culinary adventure. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving authentic Italian cuisine, Ragazza is a destination that promises an unforgettable dining experience. We can't wait to return and explore more of their tempting offerings.
