Lately, restaurant openings in Leawood have been about as common as co-workers with the flu.

Can’t keep track? Here’s a taste of some of the tony suburb’s new eateries.

Parisi Cafe

5245 W. 116th Place

Kansas City coffee roaster Parisi Artisan Coffee opened a second cafe earlier this month in the Park Place shopping center (the first is inside Union Station). Perky expert baristas at the small, stark-stylish cafe whip up espresso drinks and sodas flavored with homemade syrups. There’s also a wine and craft cocktail list developed by master sommelier Doug Frost and a glass case full of beautiful, locally baked croissants, rich muffins and rainbow-colored macarons. Try the salted caramel latte with a chocolate muffin, which gets its over-the-top rich flavor from stout beer and Nutella.

Pig & Finch

11570 Ash St.

Beer lovers and adventurous eaters will find something to love at this modern gastropub, where the bar serves a respectable selection of microbrews and imports, and the kitchen crafts everything from classic pub burgers to braised snails, frog legs spiced with Sriracha, and bacon-nut brittle. We dipped into the Pickled Up cocktail ($11) made with rye vodka and brine from homemade pickles.

Pizzabella

4000 Indian Creek Parkway

Pizzabella, a popular pizzeria in the Crossroads Arts District, recently added a second location in Mission Farms, across Mission Road from Rye. The new location is bigger, but it has the same reclaimed wood paneling, sleek furniture and wood-fired ovens as the original. The pizza crusts here come charred, bubbly and full of farm-fresh toppings and aromatic herbs.

Rye

10551 Mission Road

This stylish but comfortable farm-to-table restaurant takes Midwestern comfort food to another level. Fried chicken, pork tenderloin sandwiches and pecan pie get quality boosts from chef/owners Megan and Colby Garrelts, who also own the more expensive Bluestem in Westport. The bar serves craft cocktails made with intriguing ingredients like caramel-corn-infused whiskey and beers from breweries in Kansas and Missouri (fun fact: Colby Garrelts counts Boulevard Pale Ale and Miller High Life among his favorite beers). Rye opened in December but only recently started serving lunch.
