Viona's Italian Bistro

My family and I went to Viona's a few weeks ago. This was my first time eating there and I ordered the Chicken Picatta. OMG it was the best that I have ever had. I have ordered this at several other Italian Restaurants in Kansas City, MO. All were very good. But this location was hands down the best. You have to try it!!

Celebrated hubby's birthday with a lovely late lunch at Viona's Bistro this week. They have lunch specials, but we chose to order off the dinner menu. We shared the Italian Sausage appetizer which was recommended by others on Yelp. Delish!! Fresh rolls with a bruschetta-like dipping sauce was brought to the table gratis, too.

Then, we split the Sprimp and Scallop Pasta dish. Oh my. Lovely sauce, nice size shrimp. Extra fresh Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top at the table. Plenty to eat! I ordered a glass of Moscato and that was devine.

For dessert, we shared a slice of Limoncello Cake, which was brought to the table with a lit BD candle! Seriously, everything we had was great. They said they've been open for 5-years, but we had never been before. We will from now on, though.

As we were leaving, it looked like the local Italian fussball team was piling in. Viona's has a nice intimate size dining room, so I can see why some reviewers say it can get crowded. We were there mid-afternoon which was perfect. Go early -- they don't close between lunch and dinner.

Simple Italian food.

Served With lots of sauce, Fresh rolls were amazingly hot and moist.

Rolls with nice oil and spices

You can get house salad or Caesar salad

Great service very attentive - nice upscale ambience

Best restaurants Italian in Kansas state
Very friendly people
One of the best restaurants in the state. Will return soon, and often!

We tried this place out this evening! It was great! We arrived around 5 pm for an early dinner Saturday night. Shortly after, the place filled up and was very busy! Our waitress was great. All of our meals were delicious. We had the Napoli combo, ravioli and the baked ziti. We want to come back and try more menu items!

Did take out for a large group. Was worried about the quality of the pasta in take out containers. Everything was wonderful. Still warm when arriving at home. They did a great job labeling our gluten free choices. Some of the items were in metal to-go containers and a couple were in plastic ones. I would prefer all metal but the plastic was recyclable.
Everything was great. Very happy with the results.
Food was excellent with great portions.
thank you!

Chicken Florentine was exactly how I'd hoped! Creamy, tender chicken. Chefs kiss! If you're going around dinner time, you may have to wait but not too long! While we were waiting (maybe 15 min), a man waiting beside us was incredibly disrespectful to the owner. She handled the situation with grace and respect. The interaction made me respect her hard work put into the amazing restaurant even more.

The food was really good and the service was great. It's a cute restaurant! The portions were a nice size. When I go back I'll get dessert.

We really enjoyed our first trip to Viona's in the downtown Overland Park area. It appears to be a strip mall from the outside but the indoors is quaint and inviting. The space is small so reservations are suggested.

The menu is full of traditional Italian starters, pastas, pizzas, and entrees. We tried the linguine and clams and the lobster ravioli. Several at our table had the spaghetti and meatballs. Everything was tasty, especially the rolls that came out first. They were amazing! The staff and service was very friendly and helpful as well. It feels like you're dining with family, which is a nice bonus.

Next time we'll save room for dessert!

The best pasta I have had in a while. The sauce on the baked penne is to die for!! The cocktails were just ok
