Nearly 19 years after opening in the Freight House, Lidia’s Kansas City is now offering a children’s menu. Cody Hogan, Lidia’s new general manager, said Lidia’s has always catered to families with children, but now it has a dedicated menu featuring smaller, simplified versions of the restaurant’s classic Italian dishes. Prices range from $7 to $9.59 and include spaghetti and meatballs, chicken breast parmigiana and breaded chicken cutlets.

But youngsters with a more adventurous palate can opt for such dishes as the fried calamari and gnocchi with pesto sauce.
