There’s nothing more classic than dinner on Valentine’s Day. Nothing says you need to make your plans on February 14th but there are a few wonderful spots in Kansas City that will feature specialty menus that you can eat off of on the holiday. If you’re thinking of making any plans the week of Valentine’s Day, we strongly suggest making reservations as soon as possible!

Bacaro Primo
Nestled in the heart of Crestwood is the locally-owned Bacaro Primo, one of Blake’s personal favorites! Created by a curator of other amazing KC restaurants favored by locals, Bacaro features an Italian-inspired menu driven by Midwestern seasonality. Their dynamic wine list and beverage program round out a delightful dining experience. Blake says to ask for Kenny at the bar, he will take excellent care of you. Make sure to add an order of meatballs for the table!
