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.

At Kenny's Italian, expect an expertly crafted beverage (tonight, mine was the Angel's Envy Manhattan!), consistently well-prepared main courses, and an overall great experience. Tried the chicken marsala for the first time, and it was fabulous. If Kenny's opens a new type of restaurant, I will be there.

My only complaint is the parking...its always tough to find a spot but I will be back! V was out server and she is awesome!
