We took along our friends who used to live in the area but moved away some years ago. They had never been to Amore, but they really enjoyed it and so did we! It’s an old favorite of ours.

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.

We had the pleasure of visiting Kenny's Italian Kitchen for the first time, and we were thoroughly impressed! 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!

About the restaurant

La Stella Cucina Verace is a family-owned and operated Italian restaurant. The name Verace, meaning "authentic" in Italian, reflects the essence of the family who immigrated from Naples, Italy, to Texas. Now rooted in the Lone Star State, the name La Stella ("The Star") symbolizes their journey. The family's goal in opening La Stella was simply to share their generational passion for authentic, verace (quality-driven) Italian recipes, complemented by warm Southern Italian hospitality.
