We just happened to be in the area and decided to give this place a try and oh my goodness that was a great decision!! Alex was an amazing server with great recommendations. We had the bruschetta along with the Lockwood Lemonade and the Golden Goose 75 (amazing!!)! We did the option of choosing 2 entrees so we got to try 4 different dishes and each of them were amazing, especially the Gnocchi Asiago and East Coast Linguini! We then finished with the biggest and best Tiramisu I've had in a long time! I would recommend this place for anyone wanting to experience a great meal and service!! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

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 :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Food tastes great. I had the Chicken Parm. Our waiter Preston was the best! Nice guy. Amazing service. He made the experience even better.

Kenny's Italian Kitchen is a long-standing Italian restaurant under the "Kenny" group. Known for great service, good food, and a casual atmosphere, while the menu is limited to popular dishes, you won't go wrong visiting Kenny's. My Overall Rating - 4 Stars (Atmosphere, Service, Food, Return) Atmosphere - Kenny's Italian Kitchen reminds of a visit to an Italian Grandmother's house. You're greeted with a smile, there are tons of photos on the wall, and on my Sunday evening visit, it was packed. Kenny's was full of people, tons of energy, and I felt very welcome. 1 Star. Service - "Welcome, family!" were the words out of our server's mouth. While I already felt welcome, I settled in even more. Our server was super friendly, but the entire staff was equally inviting. We asked for extra bread (no problem) and our water was always filled. 1 Star. Food - Kenny's Italian Kitchen has a very good menu - but it's limited. For example, I wanted to order a Caprese Salad (a standard Italian dish), but this item is not on the menu. But that's ok, because what's on the menu is good. Really good. No Caprese? No problem! I started with the Bruschetta but instead of describing it, look at the photo and see the fresh, plump tomatoes. The Mushroom Ravioli was even better. The soft ravioli sat in a smoked gouda cream sauce with hints of smoked ham and white truffle oil. I completely devoured my dish with a satisfied smile. So, while the menu didn't have everything I wanted, what I had was excellent. 1 Star. Will I Return? - Yes. When a restaurant is packed on a Sunday night, it's gotta be good. While Kenny's isn't in my regular rotation, my experience was fantastic, and I would definitely come back. 1 Star. read more

Kenny's Italian Kitchen - Bruschetta - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

The atmosphere felt very homey and warm. I loved all the pictures and decor. I was really excited to eat here because of the gluten-free options that they had. We got seated right away and within minutes, our waiter came and took our order. At the end the chef gave me a card with a voucher for my birthday. This you really don't see at places! The food was really good and the service was amazing. But I took off a star because the waiter brought out a bruschetta and said we should try it. This is something we did not order and so assumed it was on the house because it was given to us. But it wasn't. We were charged for that and I also ordered a glass of wine from the happy hour menu which was supposed to be $7 but got charged $12. That kinda busted my bubble. I had paid before looking at the receipt, and didn't see her after so we just left. read more

The best bruschetta I've ever had, hands down! All of the Kenny's establishments are amazing with allergies and my gluten free boyfriend was able to get bread for this appetizer as well as sub out the gnocchi on our main course. The sauce was phenomenal! If you give them a 2 days heads up you can get anything on the menu gluten free (such as lasagna and fried calamari!) They hire the best servers and your water is never empty. It's not roomy, so expect to be more piled in with the other patrons and it's a little loud because of that ... but overall really nice place with great food! read more

I have no idea what took me so long to get to Kenny's Italian when I've been frequenting Kenny's wood fire for close to 10 years now. What can I say? The food is seriously good, period. Italian food is not complicated, simple high quality ingredients shine on their own. The atmosphere and the staff are great. Not only are they warm and welcoming, but the space Itself somehow feels cozy and intimate all while being so vastly open. There is intentionality here, and it works. But what separates Kenny's Italian from pretty much any Italian restaurant I've been to is the flexibility. You can pretty much customize or mix and match any dish you want, without paying a steep upcharge. With that being said, nothing really matters if the food isn't good. Kenny's is pretty spot on. From the warm bread to the absolutely delicious mushroom ravioli. There's not much to criticize here. What else could I have expected from the team that brought us Kenny's Wood fire? read more

A meal so good I didn't even take pictures of the rest of the food I had. The dining area was super cute and made me feel like i was in little Italy and the service was above and beyond. We got espresso martinis which were super strong. Arancini had a beautiful crisp and the inside melted in my mouth. Caesar salad was fresh and had a hint of lemon and the soft croutons were a delightful surprise. The shrimp fettuccine and mushroom ravioli was great too. My favorite thing about this restaurant was that you can get half of 2 entrees instead of committing to a single one. So perfect for people who want to try multiple things! read more

The place gets pretty busy, I highly recommend making reservations. This place is has a very lively, cozy and warm atmosphere. Everybody seemed to be having a great time and was very friendly. Our server (Cassie) was super friendly and welcoming. I ordered the carbonara; it was very creamy. I do wish I could taste a bit more of the egg yolk, but I still enjoyed it. Spaghetti bolognese tasted authentic and hearty. Baked ziti with sausage hits the spot for hubby. We were also given free cannonili for my son's birthday which was an added bonus . I ordered cappuccino pie for dessert which I enjoyed and the espresso ice cream was awesome! I also like the fact that they check if anyone has any allergies, it made me more comfortable since my son has a few allergies. I really love going to Kenny's. I wish it was closer, I would visit more often. read more

Lovely way to spend an evening with friends... Our hostess seated us almost right away. Quite a busy place, glad we made reservations. Beware though that Parking in that area was a mess. Ivan our server was great, checking on us multiple times with refills and wine pours. Food was served promptly after we ordered and was delish as well. After Ivan got us the bread for the table, we ordered the Crispy Arancini, which was just fabulous. For dinner, the Shrimp Scampi and the Mushroom Ravioli were also great Entrees. The Tiramisu was a great portion to share. Glad we ordered it. Although, it is one of my favorite Italian desserts The food and appetizers were priced decently, although the 300% markup on Wine was just ridiculous. May be next time, we'll stick to just water. read more

We went to Kenny's for our quarterly cousin dinner. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was good. The drinks were better. The place was cramped and I see why. The food is good.

I was shocked that there was only one bathroom stall but besides that a good experience. read more

10/10 in all aspects! Brought a new hire here for lunch, and it could not have been a better choice! Was able to make a lunch time reservation, same day! Granted, you don't have a lot of time slots to choose from, but you pick what you can!!! Our server, Ryan! I hope he reads this or can someone pass along the message for me...........YOU ARE PHENOMENAL! So freakin helpful and tentative, just the absolute best! Lunch time, you have the option to do a half and half plate of pastas! DO IT!! Don't settle on one pasta when you can have two! I will be back, sooner rather than later! Best Italian spot in DFW! read more

We were in town on a work trip, and one of my colleagues is gluten-free. Finding a restaurant where almost everything on the menu can be made gluten-free is nearly impossible -- but this place nailed it. My coworker had the gluten-free spaghetti with meatballs and couldn't stop raving about it. I ordered the East Coast linguini, and I've never seen so much seafood on a pasta dish -- shrimp, clams, mussels, scallops -- all perfectly cooked and seasoned. The highlight? They even have a gluten-free brownie with whipped cream and ice cream that actually tastes amazing. You'd never know it was gluten-free. Our server, Cassie, was incredibly accommodating and kind -- she made sure every detail was right. We loved it so much we came back the very next night. If you're gluten-free (or even if you're not), this spot is a gem. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town! read more

When I say this place is sooo good!!!! So so good!!! They have a delic Greek salad!!! Salmon yum and their lasagna is also good. It has a very authentic Italian feel.

Winner, winner Italian Dinner Go for it!!!!! read more

This rating is specifically only for take out order. Kenny's Italian Kitchen is a great restaurant that offers a cozy and comforting experience. Known for their classic Italian-American food items.

I suggest avoiding ordering their entrees if they continue to serve this portion for Lunch. read more

Kenny's Italian Kitchen - Chicken Marsala - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

If there is ever a question- the answer is Kenny's!! This is hands down our absolute favorite restaurant. We've been eating here for over 10 years and it just gets better with time. The food is consistently delicious. Their special "champagne chicken" they do twice a year is one of the best things you'll ever eat in your life. The service -from management to wait staff and hostesses -is phenomenal. We have had many birthday dinners here, anniversaries, and just nights out with friends. All are always wonderful!! This year I chose to celebrate my 50th birthday with my husband and boys here and we had an epic celebration. Bruschetta, chicken parm, gnocchi, champagne chicken, carbonara and tiramisu were all devoured with extras ordered to enjoy another day at home. We love that they now allow you to do half and half on your orders. Making those tough decisions much easier! If you're having a bad day- this will fix it. read more

My daughter took me to Dallas recently for my birthday trip!!! While there we visited Kenny's Italian restaurant. It was amazing! Trish, our waiter, brought a warm and caring energy to the table. Although the place was packed she made us feel like we were old family friends she had invited to dinner. I ordered the spaghgetti with sausages and my daughter ordered the chicken parm. The food was delicious with generous serving sizes, top notch service and all around great atmosphere. I loved the creative cocktail napkins with motivational sayings. The bathroom was spacious and clean with wheel chair accessibility. I'm glad my daughter picked Kenny's Italian restaurant! They really made us feel like home! read more

Made reservations for a group if coworkers in town for a long day of meetings. Our waiter Ryan was fantastic. Great service from Ryan and all the staff! Everyone really loved their food. I love the shrimp scampi here but wanted to try something else this round and was eyeing the mushroom raviolis, and Ryan confirmed they were a great choice. He was right - the cream sauce was out of this world and there was no holding back on the mushroom inside. I had plenty to take some home for another meal. Thank you Kenny's for another great experience for my out of town coworkers. read more

This "Kenny's" group of restaurants hires the best people! Tonight was the Italian restaurant. After the Wood Fired one last night, I just HAD to try another one. And it was a great choice. My meal began at the bar with Gabe, and he's another amazing host, like Tabby at Wood Fired. He's kind and friendly and you'll think dinner at the bar is a treat if he's behind it. So tonight's meal was the Veal Osso Bucco with a Parm Risotto. It was incredible. Dessert was the Tiramisu and it was to die for. Add a good glass of Oregon Pinot and life is good!! Oh... I saw the Chicken Parm too. LAWD bring a friend to eat that amazing looking meal! read more
