"As always, excellent food and service. It was Valentine's Day and we went early and were glad we did. It was apparent that additional staff was on hand to help everything go smoothly."

"Always a great time! We have gone to Garozzo's for a few years now and have ALWAYS had a great experience! Excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere. We catch ourselves going to Garozzo's in Lees Summit when we want great Italian food and if we want a romantic dinner. Extremely reliable!"

"Went for valentines day, they were very busy of course. We had a reservation and understandably they were running a little late (we were sat 15 min after our reservation time). We were sat in their event space/private dining room that felt a bit crowded. We had to squeeze into our chairs to not bump the table next to us. Our server was very polite and attentive to our needs. Sometimes i noticed we had to wait a little while for water refills but nothing too terrible. Our food was great as always, a little slow getting to our table but Garozzos never disappoints!"
