    Fried Calamari
    Juan N.

    First time here, was influenced by the ratings on google, a coworker and I went for lunch on a Monday. We ordered the following: I ordered: Half Chicken Picatta and Half Champagne Chicken- 10/10 I could not decide between the two, the server came in and solved my problem lol, they had a special where you could pick 2 items to try, best decision ever. Fried calamari- 10/10 crunchy, fresh, tasty, I walkway go for the calamari, did not disappoint. My co-worker ordered: Half Chicken Picatta a half Chicken Special- he said 10/10 same as me very flavorful, fresh. Bruschetta- 10/10 basaltic vinaigrette came in clutch, all of the flavors in the one bite will blow your mind. Overall want to give our experience a 10/10, the server was excellent, knew his menu, I believe he was also he bar tender, would definitely ask for him again, the ambience is chill, feel like home, we felt like we were eating at home. Highly recommend you try it out, thank me later.

    Martini Monday is one of my favorites. Delicious, cold and refreshing martini's served all day. The price is discounted and the selection is great. I do think it's time for them to mix it up and add some new options. I switched it up today and selected the Raspberry Lemonade. It was perfect and tasted really good. My Sicilian Shrimp and Fettuccine Pasta was amazing as usual. It's well seasoned and spicy, but flavorful. The shrimp are cooked perfectly. Service was good my waitress was sweet and friendly. The manager is always welcoming and helpful. I left feeling happy, satisfied and full. Good food equals Good mood! Martini Mondays is a must and I will keep coming back to eat and drink.

    Staying at a nearby hotel. (Hotel Dax is a very nice, new boutique Marriott property.) We found Kenny's via YELP - as always!! The food was outstanding - Caesar salad, fresh- baked bread, meatballs, chicken piccata, fettuccine carbonara, gnocchi and tiramisu. All items were excellent. They do something really cool and unique...you can do a half & half of any entree or appetizer. Allows you to sample more of their terrific menu items. Cali (Calihan) is an outstanding server. She was fun and helpful and very knowledgeable. One of the managers - Libby - even came by our table to chat. There's a "neighborhood joint" feel to this place. We're planning to return in the future!!

    Martini Monday - Ruby Martini - nice if you like grapefruits

    Kenny's martini Monday is still a vibe. The food here is always delicious. I got the meatballs and they were delicious as they always are. I got the gin and Georgia martini. It's my favorite. If you haven't had it, go next Monday! The service here is solid and the ambiance is an Italian dining experience. Kenny's is always great food and drinks.

    Solid italian place and one of my dad's favorites! We did this for father's day and had a great meal. Big big fan of their caprese. Large portion sizes

    One of the best Italian places in the metroplex! From the food to the drinks, everything was superb. I go to Kenny's Wood Grill a lot, and it just lives up to its reputation of good food and service and all around good everything and yes, I will be coming there tomorrow.

    My friend and I came in from martini Monday and sat in Cali's section. She was super knowledgeable about the menu and gave us recommendations on which she prefers herself and what are some of the more common meals. I ended up taking her recommendation of the mushroom ravioli, which would not have been originally on my list and it turned out to be great. The food is always great here but having great service just puts a cherry on top of the experience! We sat on the patio and the guests were quite loud and there were a lot of kids as well, which increased the volume. I haven't normally seen it this loud. Inside it's much quieter and gives off a nicer vibe. For food recommendations, the chicken scallopini is my favorite, the mushroom ravioli was good as well, and my friend gets a carbonara every time. I also had the pomtini which was very tasty.

    Cannoli

    This was hands down the kindest service received! The restaraunt is so nice for a casual or even a bit dressy date with the dim ambiance and table candle lights. The food is definitely a comfort food spot I would come to when I have cravings or want something homemade! I came here for the first time on my birthday and got a small gift from the manager as well as a free cannoli! Will definitely come back and worth the drive from Austin :)

    Badal P.

    This place is incredible! We have been meaning to come here for a while because of all the excellent reviews and I can definitely agree that this place deserves it! I started with an espresso martini without optional burbon cold foam (which sounds amazing). Very tasty and definitely strong espresso. For apps we started with crispy arancini which came with the best red sauce I've ever had at a restaurant. (homemade) pesto sauce it also came with was a little too creamy and I didn't like it paired with the arancini. Our server gave us complementary bruschetta which was by far the best I've had in the Dallas area! Our main was the mushroom ravioli and Asiago gnocchi which was both excellent and for sure would get again. Creamy, flavorful and fresh. The truffle oil on the mushroom ravioli was my favorite. I would for sure come here again but with reservations ahead of time. An hour wait is definitely and hour wait.

    We went here for dinner on a Saturday night and I see it has been more than 10 years since my last review so it is time for an update. We had a reservation because this restaurant gets very busy. It has the feel of an old time East Coast Italian restaurant. The restaurant was clean. There is also a bar with TV and the winter Olympics were on, so it almost has a sports bar feel. But they have only bottled beer, no beers on tap. We are big fans of Kenny's restaurants. The best IMO are Wood Fired grill, Smokehouse, and East Coast pizza. As usual, service was great. We were seated and our waitress Maradith appeared very quickly. She was pleasant and efficient throughout our meal. They start you out with fresh, hot bread with butter. Delicious. While the kid had her usual spaghetti with red sauce, the wife and I split an order of bruschetta. It is very good, but beware of large pieces of garlic! I also had the Blue Cheese salad which is essentially a deconstructed wedge salad. I liked it a lot. For entrees, the wife had the seafood linguini and there were some problems. The mussels were tough and chewy to the point of inedible. They smelled fishy. The clams were also chewy. The calamari was very good though. This was a disappointment given that it was among the most expensive dishes on the menu. The wife regretted her choice. Her general rule is not to order seafood in Dallas and she wished she stuck to her rule. I really enjoyed my Bolognese. It was a large portion with a generous amount of meat. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauce was not acidic. I could only eat about half of it. For dessert, we shared a piece of "New York style" cheesecake. It was good, but not as good as in New York. Prices are reasonable in my opinion. Overall, except for the wife's seafood it was an enjoyable meal.

    Closer and yes I had to eat one first haha couldn't wait

    This was my first time having Italian in Texas! The ambiance was perfection. The Bartender made an exceptional craft martini & the FOOD was delicious. I had the East Coast Linguini. My friend ordered the mushroom raviolis & we shared the crab stuffed mushrooms! *drool* The service from our bartender Jaime and her barback (I wish I would have got her name) was attentive & engaging. They walked us through every question. 10/10 experience over all.

    Lissandra P.

    This place was awesome! I was torn between ordering two dishes and our server recommended the option of getting half of one entree and half of another for the price of just one entree. This allowed me to get a taste of both. I was sooo happy with this because I genuinely enjoyed both meals. Food came out hot and tasted great. Worth the price I loved that the room wasn't so bright so it added to the moody ambiance. The portraits all around the walls give it a very unique vibe as well. Would highly recommend!

    We had a wonderful time with friends at Kenny's restaurant. Service was incredibly slow, but our server was kind! The hostess in the front made sure we got group pictures we liked. It was hustling and bustling inside for a Monday night- we were surprised, but it is a heavily visited area in Addison. Parking was a little tricky. My meal tasted amazing. Gnocci is one of my favorite dishes and the pesto and Asiago flavors paired well together. I chose not to have meat (vegetarian) and the sever suggested adding spinach for free- love that! However, there was only about 10-12 pieces of gnocchi in the dish. I was disappointed, as it was so good! I was delighted there was bread service (2 rounds) and they have oil and vinegar on the table (which was great)! My boyfriend and I split a cocktail , the raspberry lemonade, that was on special for $7 that evening. It was amazing and almost an icee texture! Overall, it is a good restaurant- would just love a little more! :)

    Kenny's Italian Kitchen Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Kenny's Italian Kitchen

    Does Kenny's have a private room that could hold 20 people?

    Yes. It can even do more if you call a head. There’s this other room where I seen them sit many people. This place is amazing for group gatherings.

    Hi...is there still construction in the parking lot near Kenny's? Parking was hard to find due to this the last time I was there but I love this place.

    Yes Kay! It sure is. And it seems it will be for a while. I feel you, it was a small parking lot to begin with and now it's worse. Oh well... I guess we just have to get some extra steps in before we eat all those delis pastas 😉

    Do they take reservations?

    Yes! Ask for Liz

    Do you take reservations?

    Yes! Please go on OPEN TABLE. Weekends can be tough so jump on them early in the week. Try the Chicken Parm please!!

    Do you have a kids menu?

    Yes. They have whatever you'd like

    Does anyone know if they're still open? They haven't been answering their phones for a week now?

    They are open. They are having a hard time with there phone line. It's always super busy. If you call a day ahead early around 3pm you can do a reservation. The weight is usually around 45min if you don't have reservations

    I have a first date here this weekend, what should I wear? Is it super casual, little bit dressy?

    Casual is fine

    Are the noodles made in house?

    Not sure. There was nothing special or amazing that makes me think they are.

    I see a lot of pictures on yelp that have half of one dish and half of another but I don't see an option of combination plates on the menu. For instance if I wanted chicken Parmesan and cheese raviolis, do I have to order two full entrees?

    Our server helped us...when we asked her she was nice enough to tell us what can be combined and what was not.

    My first experience here wasn't the best, so I was curious to see how a second visit would compare…read more A friend was moving out of town and wanted to come here, so I decided to give it another try and order completely different dishes. We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back. I'd love to return with my husband sometime.

Food: -House made focaccia; this focaccia deserves all the awards you can get for bread because it is so appetizing and savory. The seasoning paired with the whipped ricotta and roasted garlic are everything you could want and more and I had to hold back from ordering more before the main dish arrived -Spicy gemelli; I was looking forward to this dish since it's a highly popular item on their menu but ultimately I was a bit disappointed because the pasta was cooked too al dente for me so it was on the firmer side. As for seasoning, I consider this to be one of the most important details/components of pasta and for me it was lacking in this dish. There was not enough salt and I had to add chili flakes to give it some more flavor, I've honestly had better spicy vodka pastas elsewhere. This may be a dish that is overhyped in my opinion. -Italian Sundae; the dessert was actually quite exceptional here, featuring a sundae with homemade Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, extra virgin olive oil, chopped pistachios, fresh whipped cream, and sea salt, I highly recommend ordering this if you have a sweet tooth but like a bit of savory in your dessert Ambiance: -A sleek and elegant design to their interior with intimate booths, full service bar, and patio dining Service: -The service definitely could've been better. We were waiting to give our order for quite a while when we sat down and then the waiter hardly came by to check in and see if we needed anything. Overall, some good options if you order certain things, but others were a miss.

The whipped ricotta is an absolute must order and I'll definitely be getting that again. The calamari was good, but pretty standard fried calamari, although I loved the addition of the chilis. The portions are absolutely massive, so it's very easy to share dishes. I got the spaghetti and meatballs and they were an absolute delight. The meatballs were juicy, seasoned perfectly, and had a great texture. You can tell they're freshly made and use quality meat. Others at my table got the Chicken Parm Vodka and Tortellini Vodka, and both were rich, creamy, and delicious. The Chicken Parm portion was especially huge. The food here is a 10/10 and I'll be telling everyone to come here for some great Italian food. The restaurant itself is charming. The booths are huge and I loved all the photos and paintings on the walls. The Kingdom of Italy flag caught my eye too. Once the sun went down, the atmosphere really started to come alive. There are a few things I think Barsotti's could improve on. The bussers seemed a little underdressed for this type of restaurant, and some of their shirts were stained. We were also celebrating a birthday and specifically mentioned it in the reservation, so I was hoping for some acknowledgment. Our waiter was very nice and respectful, but I would have liked a little more interaction and explanation of the menu. Overall, the positives definitely outweigh the negatives. I'll be coming back and would recommend Barsotti's to others.

All that said, this was a great dish. Had the chicken carbonara with fettuccini and it could not have been done better. It was a special that night and I hope the put it on the menu permanently. Drinks were good as well. I'll be back. More often if carbonara gets on the menu :-)

    Loved the ambience!! They have multiple dining rooms and a patio. They do a good job of keeping…read morefamilies in one area and couples in another. I think that is a smart idea. Service was excellent on the evening we were there. We started with the mozzarella garlic bread, appetizer with spicy sausage. It's a huge portion enough for three people easily. Very good. Salads were nice and very fresh tasting. They certainly weren't bagged lettuce as you get in some restaurants these days. For entrées, the pasta Gianni was the big hit. Great flavor and you have your option on pasta and I chose penne. For dessert we had the special cheesecake which was amazing. Prices for wine, cocktails, and food are all very reasonable. We had a really nice time.

    Sat at the bar and basically told the bartender, "You drive." That man proceeded to go 3-for-3 like…read morehe had my taste buds' scouting report. Wine recommendation? Perfect. Salad recommendation? Perfect. Helped me land on the Gennarino? PERFECT. At some point I stopped making decisions because clearly this dude knew what I wanted better than I did. I'm just sitting there eating and drinking like, "Yeah, apparently you're in charge of my life now." And that Gennarino? Good lord. The whole meal was fantastic, but when the bartender nails every recommendation like that, it turns dinner into an experience. I'm 100% coming back. Hell, I'd consider buying a plane ticket to Dallas just to eat here again. Imagine explaining that expense: "Why did you fly to Dallas?" "Pizza." Understandable. No further questions.

    I've been wanting to try Partenope for a while so I was excited when we finally made it last…read moreweekend. We called ahead of time as Resy was glitching and were told that we could just walk in and likely wouldn't wait long. Arrived the host was helping someone with a takeout order. We waited. And waited. She never even looked at us or said. "Hi...just give me a minute and I'll be right with you.." 2nd host came to the counter (more than 5 minutes passed as we watched them buzz around and still not say hello). She finally looked up and said, "2"? Then seated us almost silently. We waited another 10 mins for someone to welcome us, say hi, or bring water, then a waiter appeared with a rushed, "Are you ready to order?" Umm....how about drinks? Specials? Anything?? We wanted a beer and were told the taps were empty and the only bottled option was Shiner. Rough start all around. Honestly, we were tempted to leave. It was that uncomfortable. We didn't. For the food: 1. Chopped salad was good, though it's not chopped at all, just a tossed salad. 2. Gnocci was delicious 3. Pizza was very tasty but the crust was strangely soggy/chewy. Maybe that's the style, but I kind of expected a bit of a crunch to it. The flavor all around was great. Our waiter disappeared (I'm assuming his shift ended?) without warning or letting us know someone else would step in. If I had to sum it up, it was almost like we were invisible the whole time we were there. Service can make or break an experience--it broke it for us. I'd consider trying the Richardson location in the future, but I think it'll be a while.

    4.5/5 stars. Went for a birthday dinner, there was 12 of us and we were taken care of wonderfully!…read moreOur server was great, she's definitely experienced as she kept pushing certain dishes and appetizers etc. Gluten free friendly pasta! Basically every pasta dish can be made with gluten free pasta and the meat won't be breaded. I ordered the terelli parmesan which was okay. Not too much flavor going on and the chicken was pretty dry. I added parmesan cheese to it which leveled up the flavor for sure (it doesn't come with any parm despite the name of the dish). The martinis were great. Espresso martini and lavender martini (shown with flowers) and pear tini were delicious. Pretty loud restaurant, but the live piano downstairs is nice and we could hear it well from the upstairs balcony room. My friends loveee this place but I probably would not return

    Nice Italian restaurant with good food…read more Parking is tough. There are about 5-6 spots on the side of the building; otherwise, you have to valet. The restaurant is also on the smaller side. I came here to celebrate a birthday dinner with a party of 9. There is a pianist playing, which adds a nice touch to the atmosphere. The food was good, but I feel like the service could have been better. For drinks, we all ordered martinis, and I had the Bubbles & Berries Tini. It was refreshing and good. For starters, we had the Classic Bruschetta and spinach dip. Both were good, but nothing super standoutish. For my main, I shared the spinach ravioli, which came with a walnut cream sauce. I enjoyed having a different sauce rather than the traditional type you normally get with ravioli. We also ordered garlic bread which was really good. We told our server, Julia, that we would be splitting the food, but she did not split the salad or bring an extra plate for the pasta until after it was served. Usually, most restaurants tend to split the food ahead of time when you let them know. The menu says they will not split checks for parties of 10 or more, but we only had 9 people, and she still didn't split the checks. She didn't even ask what we would like to do. There was really no conversation or friendliness from our server, and that's what lacked with my dining experience here. I would come back for the food though!
