This was a MUST when it comes to a night out in KC. I went on my birthday and it was just perfect. The vibe is so chill. It’s pretty dark in there so if you’re one that struggles to see be aware but it’s not so dark that you can’t see across the table. Our server was so sweet and made out time so enjoyable!

I love the floor, which is authentic an

Meatballs to start, followed up with prosciutto and mozzarella pizza…amazing! Huge selection of Amaros and the Black Manhattan made with 3 did not disappoint. Thank you, Taylor, for the excellent service!

★★★★★ 5.0 Anthony Sobolevsky · Feb 2026

Shrimp Scampi was delicious and loved the ambient vibe but also the energy in the restaurant! I really enjoyed the espresso martini it was smooth! Lots of TVs for sports fans and great food without breaking the bank! Will definitely come back again!

★★★★★ 5.0 Sounder andrews · Dec 2025

Sauce: spicy and tangy. Crust: super thin and crispy. Recommendation: the wise guy restaurant should rank highly on the local pizza scale. Unique Feature: A hot honey drizzle is available, recommended for trying on a few slices
