Al Forno. There is not a restaurant in KC like it. It’s nothing over the top or fancy, just really solid food every single time (one of the more consistent restaurants there is). The menu right now is very fall themed and has a mix of traditional Italian, seafood and grilled items. Mind you, it’s very popular and I’d get there within an hour of opening to snag a table or spot at the bar. Oh, and the desserts are made to order and 🏅

Just an FYI - Apsara is Cambodian not Thai. I know food-wise it's all a little confusing, but the owners are Cambodian and we all consider it a Cambodian restaurant.

On their website, they do say that they cook the dishes of their home countries of Cambodia, Thailand, Vietnam, and China.

So it looks like both Cambodia and Thailand are correct.
