715 Restaurant
Kansas
715 Restaurant brings Italian-influenced cooking to Massachusetts Street in downtown Lawrence. Locally owned and established in 2009, it combines the sociability of a neighbourhood bistro with a menu substantial enough to anchor an evening out. Handmade food is central to its character, with fresh pasta and local vegetables giving the kitchen its direction. Dishes such as lasagne Bolognese and chicken piccata show the appeal of familiar Italian cooking, while seafood and other seasonal choices broaden the possibilities at the table. Cocktails and an extensive wine list are part of the experience, and the streetside patio places diners close to the activity of Mass Street. Vegetarian and vegan options help make the restaurant a workable choice for groups with different preferences. Its downtown address makes 715 easy to build into a visit to Lawrence's shops, galleries and bars. Come for a relaxed meal with friends or a date that leaves room for another drink, with the lively neighbourhood continuing outside the door.
