“ The food was delicious! The happy hour sangria was yummy and a great deal! Our server and the manager were welcoming and our food was brought out in a reasonable time. The bread as an appetizer was also very tasty. The bathroom was clean (which says a lot for someone visiting a restaurant for the first time). I also appreciate the history of the restaurant being that it has been in Kansas City for almost five decades and enjoy reading about how the restaurant came about and has stayed in business. This also says a lot about the food and the service being they have stayed in business for so long. There are gluten free options which my mom appreciated. The salad was yummy and so was the ham and bean soup. I also really appreciated that the parking was free and there were plenty of spots. This is not always the case in a downtown area. Good portions as well. I'm looking forward to the leftovers for my lunch as I write this review. ”

“ Love Anthony's, so good to eat a meal grounded in an establishment that has been there for so many years and the food still just keeps hitting it out of the park. Loved the bottle of Seeker Pinot Moir 2022 We will be back, as we always do ”

“ Stopped in for a drink and to pass some time. The staff was amazing. They were very attentive, and all my needs were met. The bar drinks were great! Had a long island ice tea, and i can't count how often people mess that drink up! Didn't stay long enough to eat, but the menu looked amazing, and the food smelled really good. Come check this place out. I don't think you'll be disappointed. ”

“ Felt like I was walking into a restaurant out of the Godfather. Loved the atmosphere. Our server Babette was awesome and gave great recommendations. The only downfall was that we ate so much of the delicious bread, salad and appetizers, that we could barely eat our meals. They made for excellent leftovers though! ”

“ My friends and I went to Anthony’s last night before going to a concert, this was my second time eating here and I thought it was absolutely fantastic.. I enjoyed the modest although flavorful antipasto and the bread of course which didn’t feel too overbearing. So that alone was nice. For dinner I was going to get Chicken Spiedini but one of the specials was Veal Spiedini so I decided to get that instead. The Veal Spiedini was wonderful in every way, I enjoyed each cut of veal had a great texture in a fried coating and smothered in an amazing cream sauce. It was presented on a plate of pasta. I highly recommend, even if you have to ask for it! The service between the waitress and bussers was timely and sociable. Tremendous atmosphere. ”

“ This is my favorite Italian restaurant in KC! All the food is great, but there’s something special about their warm bread!! ”

“ Dining at Anthony’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Kansas City was an outstanding experience that I cannot wait to share! From the moment I walked through the doors, I was enveloped in a warm, inviting atmosphere that perfectly complements its authentic Italian charm. The decor elegantly blends traditional and modern elements, creating a cozy yet sophisticated dining space. The management and staff welcomed me with genuine smiles and attentive service, instantly making me feel like a valued guest. Now, let’s talk about the food! The menu is a delightful homage to classic Italian cuisine. I started with the salad and ranch which was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of seasoning. For the main course, I chose the Chicken Spiedini and a side of Pasta Angela and it was nothing short of spectacular. The meal was complimented with slices of Italian bread and butter. Whether you are looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or simply want to indulge in delicious Italian fare, Anthony’s is the place to be in downtown Kansas City. I wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone who appreciates great food and exceptional service. ”

“ Great old school Italian spot! We hadn't been here in years and it is exactly the same. The negronis were delish, the toasted ravioli were perfectly crispy in the slightly sweet tomato sauce. Super fresh Roma bakery bread. We went specifically for the chicken dinner which is a heck of a deal. Chicken was crispy and nicely seasoned. Came with a decent salad and a side of pasta. Finished it up with some spumoni. They sat our party of 10 in a weird corner which wasn't my favorite, and made it really difficult to have conversation. There were some mix ups with the chicken order as well, but overall definitely worth a visit. ”
