Jovito's Italian Café & Deli

Jovito's Italian Café & Deli holds down a spot in Waldo where regulars come back for consistent, straightforward Italian cooking and staff who know their names. The dine-in side of the operation is often overshadowed by its deli and takeout business, but it's built a loyal following of its own, especially among families. An antique shop addition rounds out the space, giving the place a browsing-while-you-wait character beyond the counter and kitchen. The Brazen Gourmets has included Jovito's among its picks for Kansas City dining.
