A nice salad, Toasted Raviolis for an appitizer, Pasta with their famous red sauce and two huge meatballs, and then, Rum cake for desert. Truely a meal fit for... More

We have been to V's dozens of times and it is always good and the service is top notch. We have had most everything on the menu but ordered Prime Rib instead of an Italian dish and it was really delicious. We had the small cut which was thick and generous and a side of pasta with it. We started... More

We went on a date night to V's and truly enjoyed it. We thought that our food was excellent and were surprised that you even got dessert with your meal. The decor was a bit outdated, but the service was great.

If you want some truly delicious lasagna, this is a great place to come. You get a lot though so you may want to split it with a friend. Service is friendly, the atmosphere, Midwestern Italian. Close to the stadiums so a perfect place to catch a tasty bite before watching a little baseball or football.

V's Italiano Ristorante is one of KC's better Italian restaurants. Good quality food at a fare price. Every time I've eaten hear the food is good but the service needs improvement!

Excellent food in an old world Italy setting. They are romantic and aim to please. Had a wedding buffet, food was hot and well presented. Servers were very professional and attentive. Highly recommend early dining.

Great selection of Italian food and dessert is included! Wonderful meal and choices. Excellent service and plenty of space for a weekend dinner nite out on the town. This restaurant has a great history in this location and is always a stable choice for out of town guests or a quiet evening out on the town in Independence, MO.

This is a great place for an anniversary or other special occasion. The food is outstanding and the setting is very intimate. The plaques on the walls about the couples that were engaged is very endearing.

Seafood Pasta was amazing as most everything is especially the Rum Cake! But unfortunately the last few times we have visited the service/server has been mediocre at best. A full 15 mins before anyone even acknowledged we were seated and then another 15 mins to order an appetizer....no apology for the wait just an attitude that we were lucky to... More

Don't miss this hidden gem for Sunday brunch. For a great price you will be treated to great food from breakfast food to lunch food. Mimosa's go with your brunch and the endless food never runs out. Pasta fixed to order just adds a wonderful touch to this already great brunch. Even if you have to drive a few extra... More
