Family Owned & Operated Since 1963...

Established by "V" (Vita) and Jay Totta in 1963, V's Italiano Ristorante has been an institution in Kansas City's dining scene for over 60 years.

Providing uncompromised, professional service in a beautiful, relaxed, old world environment is the formula that has made us one of most beloved Italian restaurants in the Kansas City area. The restaurant's cuisine, proudly overseen by the third generation of the Totta family, is steeped in rich, family tradition.

In addition to a wide variety of authentic Italian specialties, with fresh, high-quality ingredients, our menu features mouthwatering steaks, succulent poultry, fresh seafood and handmade pizza.


V's Italiano has twice been voted one of the "100 Best Brunch Restaurants in America" by OpenTable and our Lunch Buffet Italiano was named a "Top 9 Italian Buffet in the US" by TastingTable.


We have 3 Private Dining Rooms for group of up to 135, and also offer full service Catering, as well as drop off Delivery service for groups of any size at the location of your choice.

Sunday: Fried Chicken

My husband took me here for our anniversary. Now I love to try new foods. My husband is meat & potatoes. But here I got an amazing seafood pasta and my husband loved the fried chicken and potatoes. Was a wonderful anniversary!

Cioppino

The Cioppino is the reason that V's is the best Italian Restaurant in the metro. This stand alone dish will keep me coming back forever and ever.
