SFFOOD 4/4/2004

I've eaten in Italian Restaurants in San Francisco, Boston and lived in Italy for four years and I am simply amazed that this place receives a 9.5. It is average at best and the food quality and presentation is below par. I have eaten at three of the Garozzo's in the metro area and wonder who writes these reviews. more

OG (over garlic) 3/4/2004

ALL of the food was over loaded with garlic. Not just a little too much, but loads of plain raw garlic. The service was way below what one would expect for this caliber of restaurant. The salads were soggy and wilted. DON'T GO! Pros: Nice Atmosphere Cons: , Service more

Garozzo's 9/6/2003

I like the Independence location best. It is on 40 Hwy just West of Noland Road a few miles. The food is awesome and the wait staff are very professional and helpful. I have recommended Garozzo's to several people and they too have the same opinion as myself. Pros: romantic, fun, great food Cons: poor parking, small waiting area more

Mama mia 1/14/2003

The best of the best. Ate in Overland Park. Brought in my Mom straight from a late flight from the airport. We were treated royally from start to finish. They even accomodated one of our party with vegetarian and lactose intolerant fare. From greeters to servers to check out people these people could not be improved upon. Food was superb, choices excellent...ambience not to be improved upon, and best of all the combination allowed everyone to relax and unwind. Recommend, recommend, recommend Pros: staff, food, prices Cons: nada more

Two words - THE BEST 1/9/2003

I've lived in Kansas City for all 27 years of my life and in a city with so many fine restaraunts, my choice is Garozzo's in the Columbus Park area. The atmosphere, the service, the people that go, and don't forget the food. By far, a cut above the rest, in fact calling it the BEST does it no justice because they go beyond that. Thank you Michael Garozzo for having what I consider the best place to eat in Kansas City. more

Is it a meal or a speed record 1/2/2003

The food may be good, but everything else about the Garozzo's in Overland Park is not. The last 2 times I've been to Garozzo's the waiter attempted to set the land speed record for getting patrons out the door. more

A taste of the St. Louis Hill 11/26/2002

Being from St. Louis and having eaten many times on ""The Hill"", this is the closest I can find to it. I have heard the owner use to have a restaurant on the Hill or is related to someone there. My only problem is the price. Much pricier than ""The Hill"" Nothing like that St. Louis family owned Italian Restaurant which knows what ""Provel"" cheese really is. more

mmm, bistecca modiga 10/7/2002

best Italian I've had in KC. The service is outstanding, copious quantities of food. The steak modiga can literally be cut with a fork and melts in your mouth. Have never had a meal that wasn't first rate. more

Raviolli form Heaven 9/8/2002

For the best Raviolli appatizer in the country you need only to stop in at Garrozo's. I have never had a meal form the menu I did not love. The after dinner coffees are also quite wonderful. Pros: Great food, Reasonable prices more

Straight from Italy! 9/5/2002

Garozzo's is the best thing that's happened to Kansas City Italian and is far better than Jasper's Carmen's Cafe (who stole all their dishes!) and Buca Di Beppo. Their atmosphere is enticing and their food is phenomenal. This is a great place to bring a first date because it is very romantic or a big party because the can accomadate numbers. I wouln't go anywhere else. Pros: Service, Food, Atmosphere more

If you want Italian in Kansas City, this is the place. Go to the one on Harrison for the most authentic ""old Italian"" atmosphere. Amazing food! more

Frank Would Be Proud! 8/8/2002

My favorite restaurant in KC, PERIOD!!!!! Michael Garozzo blows the competition out of the water with his authentic Italian fare, as well as having some of the best wait staff and bartenders in the KC Metro area. With the large entree portions, no one should leave this restaurant hungry. But why would you want to leave, when you can leave you table for the bar for an after-dinner drink and cigar? Pros: Variety, Ambience, Service Cons: Wait time (weekends) more

Excellent Italiano 7/29/2002

Garozzo's provides a real treat to those who like to eat. I especially like the stuffed artichokes [to die for!] and the Tortellini Gina [sound of smacking lips]. Service is friendly and efficient, and the ambience is purely delightful from the music to the decor. Pros: Great Food, Great Service, Great Place Cons: A little hard to find more
