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.

The ambiance was warm and inviting, and, most importantly, the service was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the staff was friendly and welcoming. What truly stood out to us was how they made our business lunch so special, especially since it was focused on welcoming a new employee to our department. The team went above and beyond, offering extra attention and even treats to make her feel valued and appreciated. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

They were so impressed! I think Martha made sure we all had an excellent experience. We loved the Bruschetta and Calamari, which went great with our drinks. Homage to Sam was a treat! The Manhattan was superb and you can’t beat the Grey Goose Martinis! We do love a full pour and Martha didn’t spill a drop! The food was all amazing! Lasagna and Chicken scallopini— just fantastic! As were the Caesar salad and chopped salad! Our friends said we will have to come back when they are in town again! Thank you for another wonderful meal!
