Jovito's Italian Cafe & Deli

I love this place...Its pickup and delivery only but there's a place you can eat outside if you.. can stand the humidity this week. You can wait inside for your food and look at the memories and cool memorabilia or sit down and solve a Rubik's cube. I had the North end panini and it was sooooo good after a long days work. I definitely recommend if your close and want a sandwich or something sweet...come here.. The pastry case was tempting...

I found this deli spot, and had wanted to visit, had a great chance today. Found out they only have outside dining (tables in access way, and back patio) and takeout or pickup. We ordered great things for lunch. I wanted some of their cucumber salad, as that's my favorite snd I'm always looking for this side. I had penne pasta with meat sauce, my favorite for lunch, and wifey had a turkey sandwich. Both great. They have Italian beef, and will give it a try next time. We got used to that from having a Portillo's near us in Orange County, and am glad to see it here. Being in Waldo and with the streets being busy, you park in back. If you're like me and don't get around, there's no front parking by the entrance. There is handy parking in the back, and a walkway to the front for them and other businesses there. I added a sign mentioning the original Smokestack, lots of nice memorabilia while you wait if you don't order ahead. Had our order ready and on our way.

This place has the best Calzone I have eaten in my lice up until now. It was perfect! Flakey soft crust and super cheesy inside. I got meatball, mushroom, and ricotta as the three fillings. I was so impressed and enjoyed every bite. I also got the Italian wedding cookies, and they were also delicious. They were homemade as well. You can't eat inside but they have a porch area that works great on a nice day.

Had Jovito's for the second time last night, and it was just as excellent as the first time. I moved to Kansas City from Chicago, and the combo sandwich from Portillo's was one of my favorites. I hadn't found anything similar in Kansas City until I saw the Italian Beef & Sausage Combo. I decided to give it a try. It was different than Portillo's in that it includes marinara on top--not what I was expecting, but it was absolutely incredible. The first time I went I had the lasagna, and it was excellent too. The staff is very friendly too. As stated above, I've only been twice, but I will absolutely be coming much more often.

The newest restaurant in waldo is a big hit! Jovito's Italian cafe in waldo offers a great selection of classic as well as contemporary Italian food on their ample menu. Easy to find near 75th and worrnal road with limited street parking but plenty in the back lot. The staff was helpful, knowledgeable and seemed really happy to see us! My wife and I tried the grinders, both the meatball and sausage and meatball. We enjoyed them both so much that I went back the next day to try the Italian steak sandwich. Offering only carry out and curbside pickup. Note update, The steak sandwich was not as impressive as the grinders.
