Here is what Vacationidea.com had to say about us…
V’s Italiano Ristorante was originally opened in 1963 as V’s Cafe by Vita and Jay Totta, showcasing delicious Italian family recipes. In 1972, the restaurant was expanded to its present location and configuration, showcasing a gorgeous 150-seat dining room and a beautiful wood arbor featuring grape vines planted by Totta’s father Tony Barber. Diners can enjoy excellent Italian specialties such as veal parmesan, chicken lemonata, veal shank osso bucco, and local seafood cioppino. Pasta specialties like fettuccine alfredo and cannelloni florentine are also served up, along with Kansas City strip steaks, prime rib au jus, and classic filet mignon. Thin-crust and gluten-free pizza selections include low-calorie health-conscious versions.

‘Only In Your State’ names V’s Italiano one of the top Mom & Pop restaurants in Kansas City
Here is what ‘Only In Your State’ had to say about us…
“Kansas City is the proud home of many famous restaurants, but sometimes you’d like a meal made with… a little more love. You want somewhere that servers care about your experience; a place where you feel right at home. A family-owned “Mom and Pop” style restaurant is the perfect pick for that homesick feeling, and we’ve found 8 that’ll suit you just fine. Their home style cooking will satisfy your cravings for sure!”
“V’s is a simple restaurant that cares more for food quality than how good their tablecloths look. They make homestyle Italian food from the heart, and you’re sure to taste the difference in how much they care. If you’re looking for love in every bite, you’ll find it at V’s.”
