Hear from our valued guests
Garozzo’s made our wedding day so so SO special. The food was amazing, and the staff were attentive, helpful, and very kind 🫶🏼 they did an especially good job with the gluten free food. Look no further, you simply must use Garozzo’s. They really thought of every detail. We enjoyed everything.
We had an amazing experience at Garozzo’s, and a huge part of that was thanks to our server, Liza. From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcome and taken care of. She was friendly, attentive, and knew the menu really well, which made ordering easy and enjoyable. Liza checked in at the perfect times, kept our drinks full, and made sure everything came out just right. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving guests a great experience. Service like that makes a good meal even better. If you’re dining at Garozzo’s, ask for Liza—you won’t be disappointed!
My first visit here. We had a group of 5 and made reservations late as the day before. We accepted reservations in their Tony Bennett room which required walking outside around the building and up a short flight of stairs. We were notified of this before reservations were confirmed and again before our arrival. It was a nice day and beautiful weather so it was not an inconvenience. Atmosphere was nice and our room was quiet so we could all converse. We ordered a variety of main dishes and two appetizers one of the stuffed artichoke and calamari. Both were fantastic and ample to share with everyone. Delicious bread and butter were supplied while reviewing the menu and throughout our dinner. Our waitress was very attentive and both pleasant and personable. Everyone shared a taste of each other's dishes and everyone was pleased with their choices and enjoyed the shared bites. Unfortunately we were too full for desserts. We will be back!
I don’t like giving five stars but this deserved it seemingly effortlessly. Excellent wine list and server was knowledgeable. The meal was so good. The atmosphere was charming and the staff were all friendly. Don’t miss this spot.
This spot was highly suggested by a local coworker Went Sunday afternoon, right around the 3pm opening. Definitely an old school Italian feel to the place. Dimly lit in Sinatra in the background. Was seated and serve very quickly. Started with the Sicilian stuffed artichoke, which was delicious. Then chose the Bistecca Modiga with pasta for my entire. Both were rich and flavorful. Flavors I’ve honestly never experienced before. The medallions were tender and cooked to perfection All and all a nice solo lunch experience with excellent service
Garozzo's serves consistently high quality fare each time we go. This visit was no exception. Our server, Jesus, was fabulous. Prompt and courteous, he kept our needs met without being obtrusive. Knowledgeable about the menu, he ensured we had exactly what we wanted. Definitely will be going back! Pictured are our meals, Chicken Spiedini Giovanni with angel hair pasta and Veal Spiedini Sophia Maria. The Giovanni style is an off-menu style that has lemon, capers, and olives.
We dinner here last night and it was delicious! Service was excellent! Our server brought our drinks quickly. The timing between appetizers, salad, and entrees were perfect. Highly recommend. We made reservations in advance and were set on time as promised. I would recommend this restaurant and making reservations in advance to avoid a long wait. If you do have to wait, IT’S WORTH IT!
This was our 3rd time eating Garrozzo's. First time was at a friend's wedding, next time was for dinner and this time lunch. The food has been exceptional every time. We love the Sugo and anything there tastes great with it! We've had Chicken Spiedini, Toasted Ravioli, Meatballs, Meatball subs, and Capelli D'Angelo. Service has always been good and you can't beat the atmosphere for a good italian meal. Our favorite place when visiting KC.
I haven't ate inside the restaurant since I have done pickup via Door Dash several times. Ordering via Door Dash is easy, fast, and the restaurant does an excellent job packaging up the food for pickup. The food is always ready at the front at the host stand for you to pickup, and wrapped very well to keep the pasta hot. I've had 3 entrees so far, and all 3 were excellent. I think anything and everything is excellent. The meatballs are truly homemade, and melts in your mouth. This is probably one of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a long time. I like Rosebud on Rush in Chicago, and I would say this is similar to Rosebud. The ambiance, service, food, etc.
