Cupini's
Cupini's is a favorite for locals in Kansas City because all of the sauces are made from scratch daily, as are all the pastas. If you're not in the mood for pasta, you can opt for a handmade sandwich on fresh baked bread, soup, salad or the vegetarian pizza. All of the dishes are also sold at the counter, which gives you the option of taking the food back to your house or your hotel room.

Carmen's Café
Carmen's Café specializes in Italian dishes, with a Latin slant and tapas style dishes. There are many dishes large enough for two people to share and many customers come as a group and share several dishes together. The Pesce ala Loren is a top choice, with mussels, clams, shrimp, squid and other seafood served in a white wine sauce. You can also make a full dinner of the side dishes, such as asparagus and mushrooms sautéed in a light olive oil.
