What a wonderful place! The atmosphere, although I'm no expert, felt like it would be referred to as" back in the day".... The service was top-notch and better than I have recieved at Fine Dining establishments. The food is old-school italian and delicious! We have been back again since this visit and will become regulars. Wonderful job "fellas"!! More

The frightening thing about these reviews is, who do you trust. Most say the food is above average. It was awful, plain and simple. The gravy (sauce) had no texture, no taste and looked as if it were poured straight from a can of Hunt's tomato sauce. The lasagna had maybe 3 strips of lasagna noodles, the smallest amount of...

I've been taking my wife (even when we were dating 20 years ago) to this restaurant since the 80s. It is truly a family restaurant. In Italy, this would be called a trattoria. Our son, now 8, has been going here with us for years and he always is astounded at how long we've been dining here. With the staff,... More

We made a new friend this weekend and so we jumped in the caddy and skeedaddled on over to Armour and Grand to Anthony's. I've been here before and have always appreciated the food, the ambience, the service and the value. I was not disappointed. First, let me get one negative thing out of the way. I ordered the calamari... More

Loved this restaurant's Vibe. Great Lounge channeling the Rat Pack era. The staff was exceptional, working as a team to deliver first rate service. We tried the lasgna and the Fettucine Alfredo. didn't care for their red sauce, it tasted like the sauce used in Spaghetti O's. The FettucineAlfredo was wonderful, as was the house salad. Don't let the red... More

Old School Italian; think red vinyl booths, plastic grapes and Sinatra photos. Mediocre food and average service. Feels dark and tired. There must be better Italian food in KC. More
