Ragazza Food & Wine: Experience Authentic Italian Cuisine in Kansas City

A Cozy Gem in Southmoreland KC We stopped by Ragazza Italian Restaurant on a busy Friday night without a reservation, and the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming. They had us wait at the bar, where Jeremy greeted us with a smile and took great care of us. His food and wine suggestions were perfect — especially the mushroom lasagna, which was absolutely delicious. He even offered a wine sample before we chose our glass, a thoughtful touch. Our table was ready in 20 minutes, but we decided to stay and dine at the bar. Great atmosphere, excellent service, and a top-notch wine list. Highly recommend this neighborhood gem!

Such a fun experience for my boyfriend’s birthday. The waitress was a delight and the food was fantastic. First the most fresh and best Caesar salad in KC!! I ordered the shrimp linguine and he had the lasagna and our plates were empty at the end delicious! Can’t go wrong with the focaccia too! The cheesecake was amazing and is made in house, must get! The owner is also such a sweet woman! Best place for your Italian fix!

Nice surprise... For starter we had the Eggplant Fries and the Meatball Grande.. Both of them really good. For main dish we had the Lasagna, a pasta Carbonara (both of them delicious) and a 6hr Sauce pasta (or something with that name) that was really awful.... Greasy with no flavor.

The Chicken Picatta is the BEST that I've **ever** tasted!! I also recommend their Ragazza Spritzer (lemoncello, sparkling wine...) with a little simple syrup added -- tasty & refreshing!! Great service (always) & can't wait to come back!

Ragazza is fantastic! Great date night spot that I would consider romantic. While we waited for our table, we sat and the bar and enjoyed some good cocktails and I like their tap selection (nice to see something from Vine Street on tap! Don’t see that often). Also had some very good wine with dinner. The arancini is decent. Love the fry/crunch on it, but I wish it was creamier on the inside. The sausage and artichoke soup had great flavor! The corn chowder was alright, a bit more like corn soup by texture, in my opinion. I very much enjoyed the carbonara! Overall I was impressed with the food and menu options and would love to return to try more. I LOVED the decor and atmosphere. Also very much appreciate our server who was very friendly and helpful.

I recently asked for recommendations on the best pork chop in Kansas City, and this spot came highly recommended—and it absolutely did not disappoint! From the moment we sat down, the experience was incredible. We started with two appetizers,Arancini and eggplant fries. which were delicious and generously portioned. But the star of the show was the pork chop. Perfectly cooked, juicy, and full of flavor—it exceeded all expectations. The portions were so large that despite sharing everything, we couldn’t even finish our meal. If you’re looking for great food, excellent value, and a memorable dining experience, this place is a must-visit! Bonus points for Gender neutral bathrooms

Ragazza Food & Wine in Kansas City is a bit of a hidden gem. The first thing you'll notice is the lack of parking, which can be a bit of a challenge. After circling the block a few times, I finally snagged a spot and headed inside. The restaurant itself has a warm and inviting atmosphere, with a trendy, upscale vibe that still manages to feel casual and cozy. I was seated quickly despite the dinner rush, and my server was friendly and attentive. I opted for the Carbonara, and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the sauce was rich and flavorful, with fresh mushrooms and peas. To top it off, I indulged in the Budino for dessert. This rich, dark chocolate pudding with a hint of sea salt was simply divine! Despite the parking woes, Ragazza Food & Wine is a fantastic dining experience. The food is excellent, the service is great, and the atmosphere is perfect for a casual night out or a special occasion.

Wow! What a great meal. We made a mistake and didn't make a reservation. Ordered carry out and 2 seats at the bar came open while we were waiting. After we sat down our meal came up. Mia at the bar (Beatrice's Mom) was gracious and offered to plate it up for us. The food was incredible. The chicken picatta was done to perfection and was moist and flavorful. The service was amazing. Even though it was a busy Friday evening you could tell they were having fun. Excellent food, and incredible service. I do recommend making a reservation rather than taking your chances like we did! Thanks for a great meal and dining experience! Joe and Jennie
