    We had an absolutely lovely date night. The food was amazing. The ale that is available solely at Pierpont’s was a highlight. And the service was some of the best we have experienced! I wish that I could remember our severs’ name so I could personally praise her. She was delightful and we would return just so we could sit in her section.

    We were visiting Kansas and wanted to take our son out for his 17th Birthday. He loves Italian and so we were hoping for a special night. We were blown away by the dishes at Lazia along with the experienced staff and the advice and recommendations that they gave. Every dish was exquisite, prepared with care and tasted phenomenal. We felt really cared for by our server and loved the beautiful cake that they brought out to celebrate our son's big day. The atmosphere at the restaurant was elegant but not stuffy and felt intimate and inviting. I will definitely go there again to try other dishes. A must stop in Kansas city.
