About the restaurant
Kenny’s Italian Kitchen serves classic "Southern Italian American" food modeled after the "Little Italy" sections of Boston and New York. These Italian American styles of veal, chicken and seafood will include Parmigiana, Picatta and Marsala. Of course Kenny's Italian Kitchen wouldn't miss out on the classic meatballs, sausage & peppers or linguini & clams to name a few.

Kenny’s Italian Kitchen is decorated with red checkered cloth table cloths, dark woods and the walls are adorned with black and white photos of friends, family and regular guests. A cozy patio and full service bar accompany the warm, friendly and comfortable atmosphere. You will swear you just dined at a neighborhood Italian joint in the Northeast.

About the restaurant
Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

A local gem the likes of which are hard to find anymore. The food is consistently delicious. The service is top notch but not stuffy. And always a friendly greeting from Bruno or Gianni. We really enjoy being able to carry on a conversation during the meal!

Always love the food choices. Our server was very knowledgeable about what wines to pair with our choices in food. We are regulars and were excited to bring friends up from Dallas to visit and they were very impressed with the location. Keep up the good work

Their tomato and watermelon salad is the best of its kind I’ve had. Love their Italian fried cheese and rice balls in tomato sauce. Enjoyed the grouper special last night.

We love MoMo’s! We enjoyed one of their appetizer specials, spinach dip. We both ordered pasta dishes that included gnocchi and spinach roll. I added grilled shrimp that were amazing. Definitely one of my favorite Italian restaurants.

Campisi's is an Italian restaurant with multiple locations throughout Texas. The secret to this restaurant's success is its commitment to being a family run business using family recipes.

Today the restaurant focuses on large party banquet style service as well as off-site catering. Campisi's banquet menu options include both buffet and seated menus. Many of these variations have similar items on them.
