Founded in 2014, Plate Italiano Moderno presents a sophisticated dining affair. Committed to delivering exceptional guest experiences and unmatched hospitality, Plate's culinary and hospitality teams strive to create an unforgettable dining experience in Kansas City. The menu, a harmonious blend of traditional and modern Italian flavors, showcases meticulously crafted house-made pastas, freshly prepared entrees, succulent seafood, and the finest quality ingredients.

Owner and Operator Christian Joseph honed his culinary skills and developed a deep love for Italian cuisine under the mentorship of the renowned restaurateur Valter Nassi from the charming town of Monte San Savino, Tuscany. His Italian roots are firmly planted in Frosinone, Lazio, tracing back to his grandfather, Constantino “Stello” Lucido, who embarked on a transformative journey to New York, establishing a new life in the United States.

Christian is fueled by a passion for authenticity. Together with the culinary team at Plate, they diligently honor the rich history and cherished traditions of Italian cooking. It's not just about crafting delicious dishes; it's about paying homage to the timeless artistry of Italian gastronomy, ensuring that every plate tells a genuine story of culinary heritage.
