V's Italiano Ristorante was originally opened in 1963 as V's Cafe by Vita and Jay Totta, showcasing delicious Italian family recipes. In 1972, the restaurant was expanded to its present location and configuration, showcasing a gorgeous 150-seat dining room and a beautiful wood arbor featuring grape vines planted by Totta's father Tony Barber. Diners can enjoy excellent Italian specialties such as veal parmesan, chicken lemonata, veal shank osso bucco, and local seafood cioppino. Pasta specialties like fettuccine alfredo and cannelloni florentine are also served up, along with Kansas City strip steaks, prime rib au jus, and classic filet mignon. Thin-crust and gluten-free pizza selections include low-calorie health-conscious versions.
