About This Place

Jasper's has perfected the art of blending traditional flavors with handcrafted dishes that sing with freshness and genuine Italian soul.

The menu is a vibrant celebration of Italy’s rich culinary heritage.

This dish alone embodies both visual theater and flavorful delight, earning rave reviews from guests who describe it as both delicious and entertaining.

Jasper's offers a variety of classics that tantalize the palate: the rich and comforting Veal Parmigiana boasts tender veal enveloped in a robust tomato sauce and melted cheese, while the Pork Shank Osso Bucco promises slow-cooked succulent meat falling off the bone, infused with aromatic herbs. For lighter fare, the fresh Caprese Salad and crisp Spinach Salad provide refreshing balance, and the rich flavors of the Scampi Livornese and silky Lobster Ravioli add a luxurious touch.

Guests also love exploring Jasper's array of specialty pizzas, where vibrant toppings like Italian sausage, anchovies, mushrooms, and artichokes are expertly layered onto perfectly baked dough. The Paesano and Leonardo pizzas are local favorites, satisfying cravings with their perfect medley of savory, tangy, and fresh ingredients.

The Tiramisu, Chocolate Lava Cake, and uniquely decadent Mayonnaise Chocolate Cake offer rich, velvety finishes to your meal.

    We enjoyed our time together for dinner at Jasper’s. It was popular that Saturday evening, yet we could still hear each other’s talk. I was the only newbie at our table. We ordered the Caprese Salad, where a server comes to your table to make fresh mozzarella, slice heirloom tomatoes, and serve it on a plate with a balsamic glaze. Delicious and entertaining. We enjoyed our meals. I ate the eggplant. I recommend Jasper’s for their food and festive atmosphere.

    Our first time at Jasper’s last evening. Excellent dining experience! Food was great and had a real home cooked quality to it. Service provided by Tucker was outstanding! Price was very reasonable and we will definitely be back!

    We had dinner here and absolutely loved it—the place is beautiful, the staff is warm and attentive, and the food is outstanding. Classic favorites like the chicken salad sandwich and crab cakes never disappoint, making it a spot we’ll keep coming back to.

    Our friends took us to Jasper's for a lovely evening. We had never been before, though we had had lunch at Marco Polo next-door. They have been patrons of Jasper's for over 40 years. They love the place! Our wonderful server was Hannah. She was delightful and I would encourage you to ask for her whenever you dine at Jasper's. We all shared the table side mozzarella, which was amazing! Check out my video to hear all about it and watch it being made. My wife had angel hair and meatballs and she loved it! She brought some home because the serving was very large. We both had Caesar salads before our round trays, which were very good. Next time I will order extra anchovies because they were a little light. I always order lasagna the first time I go to an Italian restaurant because if they can do that right, chances are everything else will be decent. Their lasagna is made with sausage. I I'm always interested to see what the sausage tastes like because I don't like weird ones. Jasper's is perfect. Our friend had the Pope John XXIII, which looked amazing and he loved. I will order that next time if they have it. It's a spring special. We had grandma's chocolate cake for dessert which all of us liked. It's a little bit loud inside the restaurant but only because it's so crowded and busy because it's so wonderful. We didn't let that bother us during our three hour plus dinner. We just talked a little louder I suppose. My wife and I can't wait to return to Jasper's! It's a delightful place and we are impressed.

    My Wife and I went on a Date night to Jasper's, not knowing what to expect. Well it was a wonderful experience, the staff was extremely friendly and took great care of us while we were there. Oh and course, there was the food! It was great! My Wife had the Chicken Parmesan and I had the Lasagna. Both were excellent, as was the Bruschetta, the Italian Sausage and Limoncello!

    I can't say enough about this place!Our salesmen George@ Chevy dealer recommended it. Marco Polo is connected to Jasper's.Marco Polo side is simple menu,table&chairs,order from the counter.The Jasper side is a nicer dining area if you want to dress,have drinks,be waited on with an extended menu.I can never seem to find a good spaghetti w/meat sauce I thought I would try this place.I saw a guy walk in from the Jasper side with a clean white shirt and go straight to the stove and start stirring,tasting &cooking over an open flame. Got my attention&found out from counter person he was indeed Jasper. He walked by to go back to the Jasper side and introduced himself. After telling him why I visited he said,Try the food and let me know how you like it.Ordered the spaghetti w/meat sauce & side of two meat balls w/marinara sauce.My son had the Italian steak&we shared the Marco Polo sandwich so we could try 3 entrees. The sandwich was perfectly made.A little bit of crisp on the bread none of the meat was salty-it was DELICIOUS! My spaghetti with meat sauce was the best maybe ever that I have tasted in my life!!!The meatballs were so moist,flavorful&the perfect temperature with the sauce.Kastly,my son's Italian steak was seasoned perfectly and each bite was delicious with the mozzarella over the top&the pasta on the side.Jasper came by&asked how was the food.I couldn't express how delicious everything was,but I think my facial expressions explained a lot to him because he said I made his day. He treated me like I was part of his family. he has such a warm heart.I not only felt comfortable around him but the whole experience was one of the better days that I've had in my 65 years on this Earth meeting somebody for the first time.If I ever come anywhere close to Kansas City I would dare not ever try any other restaurant&come by here just to specifically try different things on the menu.I can't say enough of this place&it was only my first time here but I think if you come here you'll agree.God Bless you and your business Jasper....it was a pleasure meeting you.
