Happened to be down Marco Polo's way at lunch time, could not resist a gondola sandwich (meatball), a chicken parm sandwich and a large spinach salad...all to take hone and split with Lynda for lunch.
Marco Polo is always a lunchtime treat to watch "take place". Regulars are greeted like family, folks always smile when entering...how could you not smile when that wondeful aroma of Italian lunchtime goodness greets you? And I don't know what sort of wizardry goes on with their spinach salad, but it is one of those items that is unmatched, anywhere.
Great Great lunch, always a treat to stop in at Jasper's and Marco Polo's...today was a perfect day on the patio btw!
Thanks Marco Polo's for the wondeful lunch
The best Italian restaurant! From the time you walk in to the time you leave your treated like family. The calamari was perfectly cooked. I has the Scampi Alla Livornese with angel hair pasta. The cream sauce covering the pasta to the shrimp cooked perfectly is so delicious and flavorful. I could eat it everyday and never get tired of it. My daughter had the Linguini Alla San Remo without the calamari and not to spicy! The shrimp and scallops were cooked perfectly and that sauce is full of flavor. The dinner salads are fresh, crisp and properly dressed with dressing. Love the option to add blue cheese. For dessert I had chocolate cake made with mayonnaise. It's so moist and decadent. My daughter had the cookies and cream ice cream cover in a chocolate coating. So good! The portions are huge and you will definitely will have leftovers for the next day. Jasper and the whole staff go beyond to make sure you have a great dinning experience. I always enjoy when Jasper comes by and makes sure everything is on point and chat. Thank you!
Pros:
1) Fairly tasty food
Cons:
1) Fairly high price point (for what you get) - $27 for two of us to eat (meal + soda + 1 side of garlic bread). It’s like $1 per ravioli and the ravioli is essentially the same as the kind you get from the supermarket for $0.50 per ravioli and bake in the oven.
2) Small restaurant interior
3) Feels like the unloved/rejected side of Jaspers - the pizza by the slice is old/cold and I watched as they microwaved one of these old slices to serve someone
That's a damn good pizza. The high-top chairs at the window were perfect for me and my pie. I'll be back.
Another one of my favorite kansas city classics. 3rd generation restauranteur bringing the best Italian food to hungry Kansas city citizens for over 65 years. Order anything on the menu and you'll be happy! You just can't miss. The Italian steak sandwich is consistently the best you will find anywhere hands down.
The food was good! I hadn’t been here in years. I will definitely be returning.
You gotta try this place! They have amazing lunch, sandwiches, pizza, pasta and more. I usually get the fat Marco polo, but you can't go wrong with the pizza either. Side note if you want a phenomenal dinner and dining experience, definitely check out Jaspers next door, A+ as well!
I actually tried this place for the first time Saturday. I got Capelli D'Angelo all Nanni. You get a lot of pasta. It was excellent. Loved the creamy tomato sauce that coated the angel hair, mushrooms, peas, and ham. I also got their spaghetti with meat sauce to go. It was good also. I went back today, Monday, and tried one of their hot sandwiches, Sicilian panini, and it was okay. Not my favorite but they have plenty more to try.
i love eating here, the staff is respectful and quick, not only is it quick but it is great food . i absolutely recommend this restaurant.
