Tuscany's — Restaurant in Warrensburg

⭐ One-Star Review: “Italian” in Name Only

There’s a new Italian restaurant in town — and after my visit, I’ll be using the word “Italian” very loosely.

I ordered their so-called lasagna, and for an extra $1.99 you can add a salad. I asked for the Greek salad, but only after the waitress brought out our plates did I learn that the Greek option apparently wasn’t available. Communication, folks — it’s important.

The meal started with garlic rolls. They were… fine. Not great, not terrible, just fine. Then came the main event: the lasagna. Except, calling it “lasagna” is generous. There were no layers to speak of — just thick, overcooked noodles tossed together with cheese and hamburger. Yes, hamburger. Not Italian sausage, not seasoned ground beef — plain old hamburger.

New place, so I get hiccups, but it was enough to not make it a...

This place is the most authentic Italian you can find outside of Kansas City! It was their first weekend opening and they were timely, professional and genuinely friendly. I had the shrimp and lobster ravioli, my husband had the lasagna and they were both masterpieces! And don't get me started on the bread! Definitely ask for the olive oil, there's fresh garlic and herbs soaking in it. So flavorful!...
