This place is great! Highly recommended for a quick bite to eat. Went with a work buddy, I got the chicken parmesan sandwich, and it came on fresh home made bread that was to die for, and my buddy got the special, lasagna said it was top notch! It gets busy during lunch but moves quickly. It’s definitely worth a stop if in the area

This is a staple in the community, and it’s my go-to spot when I have customers or coworkers to take out for lunch. It gets very busy a little before noon, but they do a great job handling the rush.

Meatballs and spaghetti sauce were bland. Spaghetti sauce was watery. Garlic bread was hard and chewy. Italian sausage and tiramisu were delicious. Prices are fantastic. If they get a little flavor and thicken up their sauce they will have something great here.

Oh my. I’m a driver and have no idea about where to eat in the great city of Kansas City Missouri. So I used my best friend… Google. I found this deli and the food is AMAZING!!! The service was exceptional and this lasagna, which I’d show a picture of but I’m kinda killing it at the moment… came with a salad, bread and butter and super friendly employees.

All the food is amazing, especially the lasagna and meatball sandwich. The desserts are the best in Kansas City. The service is always fast and the workers are friendly. They also do catering, which I have used several times.
