The Top Family-Friendly Restaurants in Dallas | Eater

"Kenny’s Italian Kitchen delivers a “special occasion meal” without the overpriced entrées. The service is speedy, the portion sizes are large, and the prices are right. Not to mention a relaxed atmosphere — families will feel right at home settling into big bowls of pasta over red-checkered tablecloths. Lasagna and gnocchi are fan favorites. But to start? Prosciutto Wrapped Fried Mozzarella, of course." - Vox Creative

The Best Meatball Dishes In Dallas | Eater Dallas

"This old-school Italian joint serves up traditional favorites, with red checkered tablecloths on deck. The meatballs are definitely a must-try along with a side of bruschetta for starters, then move on to something equally delicious like the fettuccini carbonara or gnocchi with chicken, artichokes, mushrooms, and asiago cream." - Alaena Hostetter

It has been a very long time since I’ve reviewed this restaurant. It definitely deserves another mention. We’ve been eating at Kenny’s for many years now and it never disappoints. SO Good! Tonight our waiter was Cedric who did a superb job. We both ordered Sicilian shrimp fettuccine. One plate also has gnocchi, the other has chicken piccata. Delicious! Thank you!

It was an honor to get to enjoy such amazing food. We were able to experience so much but left curious about so much more. Definitely a place we will be looking to return. Reece served us gracefully and navigated us thru the menu with passion. Thank you for having us!

Y’all. We just found the most amazing Italian restaurant in Dallas—and nearly everything can be made gluten-free! 😭🍝 We were out on a date night and happened to drive past @kennysitaliankitchen—I had it on my list because I’d heard they had gluten-free options. So glad we stopped! Our waitress told us that almost the entire menu can be made gluten-free—and it’s celiac-safe, prepped in a separate part of the kitchen. That alone made my night! Even better? They had vegetarian options too. I ordered the eggplant parmesan, and let me tell you… it was next-level good. Perfectly crunchy (not soggy like it usually is), with a rich, flavorful sauce. You can literally see the crispy texture in the dish—absolutely beautiful and delicious. And yes—they have gluten-free bread! Soft, warm, fluffy little pillows of joy. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat at Italian restaurants watching everyone else eat bread while I sip water. Not this time. 🥹 The vibe? Classic and cozy—checkered tablecloths, soft candlelight, family photos on the walls, and Italian music floating through the air. Total old-school charm. They can also make regular (non-GF) versions of dishes, so everyone in your group will be happy. Honestly, everything was incredible. This place is an absolute gem, and I already know I’ll be back very soon!

My husband and I were in town for our anniversary and we both wanted Italian so we decided to give Kenny’s a try. Our waitress Cassie was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure our evening was special. Very unfortunate that we live 3 hours away or we would make this our go to restaurant. We definitely will be making a roadtrip in the future just to eat here.

Best lasagna I've had in my entire life! Amazing appetizers, amazing meals, amazing drinks! Definitely recommend this place if you're gluten-free- they can turn 80% of their menu into gluten-free deliciousness. Hands down best lasagna. Great service!

Kenny’s Italian Kitchen will delight you. Each time that I have visited it has been absolutely devine. The servers are friendly and welcoming. The food will leave a lasting impression . I am in love with their Shrimp Scampi. First of all, you better bring your appetite, because the portions are hearty. I love that Kenny’s doesn’t skimp on the food. 😉 The scampi was packed full of flavor . The pasta was cooked perfectly . The Chicken Parm knocked my socks off. I will be having that on my next visit. If you are looking for delicious Italian food with a lot of value, please check out Kenny’s Italian Kitchen. 💜

Dinner tonight was absolutely amazing the perfect blend of delicious food and a flawless atmosphere. Our server, Ryan, absolutely crushed it! He was attentive, friendly, and made the whole experience even better. The shrimp Florentine was to die for perfectly cooked, bursting with flavor, and plated beautifully. To top it all off, the cannolis were crisped to perfection with just the right balance of sweetness. Truly an unforgettable evening. Will be back soon for more.

Food was pretty good, service was great. We were here for the 1st time to celebrate our anniversary & the waiter suggested the half & half plates option and we loved the choice. Ordered (Fettucine Alfredo + Gnocchi Asiago substituted with Whole Wheat Penne) & (April Special Shrimp Florentine + Chicken Scaloppini) Alfredo was great, Asiago was amazing with the basil pesto sauce, Florentine was okay… had better tasting Florentine elsewhere, sauce could have been a little yummier & Scaloppini was also pretty good. Only Major complaint was we were seated at one of the corner tables & my wife was getting bitten by mosquitoes, hope this can be handled for a pleasant experience for future customers.

Second visit- was great again! Went for my birthday. Made a reservation for 4 as it was hopping busy!! They got us in earlier than our time!! Service was spot on spectacular, food was piping hot (bread is fabulous) delicious, and the relaxed atmosphere was great for my birthday! They even treated me to a bday cannoli!!! Chef came to visit the table and we shared our gratitude for a lovely evening out with our adult kiddos!!

The food was quite good, although it did take a while to arrive. I wasn't aware of the option to order a half-and-half entrée until I discovered it on Yelp. Basicslly, you can order half of one entrée and half of another for just a dollar or two extra. The service and ambiance were romantic, with a candle on each table. Unfortunately, we couldn't be seated at the main dining area and had to sit in the back, which was a bit disappointing. Nevertheless, my girlfriend and I enjoyed the dinner overall.

Kenny's Italian is one of my favorite restaurants in Dallas. The staff is always very attentive and helpful, and are always willing to give a recommendation if you are torn between a few options. My favorite part of the menu is that you can order a "half of a half" and split it two days so we always split two of the entrees. They have Grey Goose on tap so definitely suggest getting a dirty martini, or any vodka drink on the menu.

My husband had ordered the chicken Marsala and I ordered the Alfredo fettuccine add chicken and bacon. We had the garlic bread and a split chaser salad. The bread was good but not great, could've been toasted more and more garlic too, the salad was crisp and split was a nice size for lunch. My husband's Marsala was so good I didn't bother to eat mine- that being said skip the Alfredo and get the Marsala. It's really close to front as good as mine so I will definitely be back for that dish. Service was attentive and cheery and the ambiance is rather dated so an update is in order. Overall good.

Shrimp Scampi, Caprese, Chicken Piccata, Lobster Ravioli, Tiramisu Un. Bel.ievable. I am so upset I only just recently found out about this place!!! The interior is large but has cute diner style vibes and is a fun casual atmosphere. The food is beyond phenomenal. Everything was cooked incredibly well, the chicken and shrimp were just so perfect, the sauces amazing. The caprese was delicious! Lobster ravioli was decent. Tiramisu was great but a little too sweet for me (but I like very minimal sweet things, my dad loved the tiramisu)

I give it 3.5 stars, and here is why. I called the morning before (after being unable to snag next-day reservations on OpenTable). Upon arriving, my reservation wasn't in the system (and the front desk hostesses let our party know that they had just let that girl go). Despite that mishap, they could still accommodate our party five after a 30-minute wait (not too bad). The hosts were also super sweet and friendly, trying to improve the situation. After the wait, we were seated and had drinks and apps. The calamari was a 5/5, and the Caesar salad was a 3.5/5. The portion was pretty small, and the dressing was barely there. I thought the entrees fell short. The fettucini alfredo didn't taste fresh; instead, it tasted like milk and cheese combined with no authentic seasonings (or Italian love). My husband said the chicken parmesan was decent, but the sauce tasted more like it was out of the can than freshly made. My mom thoroughly enjoyed the chicken marsala, and I heard no complaints. Other things ordered were tiramisu, cheesecake, another chicken parmesan, and complimentary bread. The desserts were great!! The customer service from our waiter was excellent!! She was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. To make this 5/5, the kitchen staff has to deliver more in the flavor area -- whether it is a noon reservation or 8 pm, the people want deliciously fresh food. So, while this place didn't win my (foodie) heart, I would be willing to try it again, maybe next time ordering something different.

Was recommended to come here & it was a great choice They seated us in the back room which was nice to have to ourselves for a moment. We ordered the mozzarella sticks with prosciutto which was very delicious, good texture, & a unique twist We shared the Mr Hand pizza & added the white truffle oil, which was the perfect addition Both dishes paired quite well with our glass of red wine (it was either a merlot or malbec, can't find the name) Their cannoli was a nice treat for the end

We came here for the first time for an engagement dinner with two other couples. First tip- make a reservation! We came on a Friday night and the valet guy asked if we had one when we pulled up and then mentioned that they were booked up for the whole night. Luckily we had made reservations well ahead of time! There's lots of construction going on just outside the restaurant so it's a little tricky to find parking. Valet is free, just need to tip ;) When we walked in, the restaurant was packed. The decor is the that of a typical Italian restaurant. Dim lit and lots of pictures on the walls. The tablecloths are that of a traditional restaurant with red and white checkered pattern. For drinks- we ordered a Chianti for the table as well as mussels to share. The mussels were huge and the sauce was AMAZING. We ended up using the table bread that they bring to sop up the sauce it was that good. Highly recommend ordering the mussels!!! For entrees: I ordered the east coast linguini. This is a great bang for your buck on seafood! The mussels are huge and lots of pieces of other seafood in the pasta. The sauce is divine and very flavorful. My husband ordered the split plate pork loin special of the night and mushroom ravioli. He enjoyed both but said he wished he would've just done all ravioli in hindsight. We loved our experience at Kenny's and hope to come back one day!

Food is excellent but the service is EVEN BETTER! I can tell they care genuinely about every person that comes through. We have lived in Dallas for 5 months and been here twice now and will keep going back. Food is 5/5 quality as well. All around great Italian experience.

This spot feels like your at your italian friend's grandmother's house. It's such a warm and welcoming environment, perfect for date nights or family dinners. They have a mission of trying to accommodate any dietary restrictions or allergies. Also to my surprise the waiter told us they encourage we could each order two items and they'd give us half portions of each so we could try more off the menu. That alone made me want to come back. I'm usually a tomato sauce gal but this time decided to go a different route and the dishes did not disappoint. This is probably my favorite italian restaurant in dallas. The ravioli had just enough filling so it wasn't bursting at the seems and didn't underwhelming. The gnocchi was the perfect consistency. I will say and this is nothing bad on Kenny's just be mindful as there's a lot of construction in the area so parking is limited at the moment.

I used to be a HUGE fan of Kenny's birthdays and everything would be there! While the food and service was still delicious the portion sizes have definitely come down, with the prices staying as is. This was disappointing to see! The food itself was still yummy - we got the fried calamari to start which I would highly recommend. We also got the chicken scallopini. It was good but the bacon felt a bit out of place in it. The chicken parm here is definitely a must try! A classic dish but they do it very well! The service was great! It definitely feels like a family restaurant. We went on a saturday with no reservation so there was a bit of a wait but we were still seated pretty quickly! Overall I would try it but it is no longer on my list of favorites!

Service is good and food generous and very "American" Italian. The problem is that you are very crowded and the noise level when busy is higher, but that does not distract from good service. I wish they had more veal dishes and choices of soups. We never have left disappointed, but not enthusiastic either/ it is just a good neighbourhood restaurant with fair prices.

Not bad. Not bad at all. The interior decor when you walk in is what you'd expect for an Italian restaurant. It's spacious with plenty seating & the restrooms are clean. Kayla was the main waitress, but due to the party size there were other staff who assisted with bringing out the food. Kayla was super sweet though and quite entertaining, able to find commonality & make conversation w/just about everyone in the room. Her service alone was 5/5. When it comes to the food, there was nothing I didn't like. What's cool about Kenny's is that if you're torn between a pasta & entree dish, you can ask for a half order of both. A coworker and I did that & even took it a step further by splitting our dishes with each other for more variety. My personal favorites were the Mushroom ravioli that had a hint of truffle oil for extra oomph & the Sicilian shrimp, which had nice flavor and some heat to it. Since I came for a work lunch we were seated in the back room. My only complaint is that it smelled a bit sour back there. Not sure what from, but every few minutes I caught a whiff...not unbearable but also not the best (which is where the star deduction comes in for an overall 4/5).

Nikki the bartender is so sweet and honestly the team is the same. I wanted to shout her out because of her personality and her rapport with her customers. I came in and asked to place a to-go order, and they directed me to the bar. I decided to try the Goose 75 which is amazinggggg To go I ordered the lasagna and bruschetta - and you should too! They are doing construction in the parking lot but when I tell you it's worth the venture it is. Treat yourself and ask for Nikki. Xoxo.

From what I understand Kenny's Italian Kitchen is one of the best Italian restaurants in Dallas. Yelp apparently thinks so due to its popularity and high review count. My visit was on a Friday night and it was very busy. As a matter of fact the entire complex that Kenny's is located in was packed with even the big parking garage filling up along with all of the other uncovered lots. Without a reservation and being told there would be a 55 minute wait, we opted for the bar which had an opening. Inside it's an attractively decorated space with many photographs on the wall giving it character. I ordered a house salad ($6) and the East Coast Linguini ($23). A basket of bread then arrived with a plate of oil and vinegar. The bread was warm and good. A few minutes later the salad appeared and I was impressed with its robust contents. Romaine lettuce, sliced cucumbers and tomatoes, slices of pepperoni with Parmesan cheese and Italian dressing. For $6 it was way above average especially with the pepperoni. Fresh and flavorful! The entree was next and was a big plate of clams, mussels and calamari in a white wine sauce with garlic over linguini pasta. This meal was chocked full of the aforementioned seafood in that delicious sauce which had a hint of lemon in it. I loved this dish and at $23 it was a bargain. Finally my bartender/waitress was outstanding. I wish I had asked her name. Very personable and customer service oriented. The food, cost and table service I experienced at Kenny's require me to give a 5 score.

I went on a dinner date with a friend and we ended up finding out about a half and half special which we were very excited about. We ordered half gnocchi asiago and fettuccine carbonara. They were both fairly good but I wasn't completely satisfied with the carbonara. Personally to me, it lacked a bit of the rich creamy flavor. And we also ordered the veal osso bucco. The meat was so tender and juicy but I wasn't a fan of the flavor. The risotto that came with it wasn't super flavorful but the texture was perfect! The server came by quite often and checked up on us and it made us feel that we were being taken care of. The restaurant is spacious and not too bright or dark.

Wow! Kenny's Italian is a must. The food is high quality, tasted great, and the portions are generous. We sat at the bar and the service was excellent. Didn't have a cocktail, but will return soon for a martini. They serve Grey Goose from an iced tap. Yum!!! Ambiance is casual.

When I rate restaurants, food is usually the factor that carries the most weight. However, the staff here made my meal one of the more memorable restaurant experiences I've ever had. Our server was very friendly. She checked on us frequently, but not to the point where it was overboard. My girlfriend and I were celebrating my birthday, so at the end of our meal, she brought us a complimentary birthday cannoli. When we were about to leave, the manager personally wished me a happy birthday and gave me a gift card. I've been to numerous restaurants to celebrate occasions and have never received treatment like that, on top of the fact that the service was stellar beforehand. The ambiance inside screams Italian. There's old photos all over the walls and wine bottles scattered throughout the establishment. The tables are covered by the classic white and red tablecloths, as well. As for the meal, it was good overall. I enjoyed the calamari and garlic cheese bread appetizers, but the fettuccini alfredo and veal parm entrees definitely outshined them. The "blackened chicken" is a must add for the fettuccini. Regardless of the occasion, you won't regret coming here.

Sadly, disappointed in this Kenny's choice. We've now tried all of their local brands. This was poor and easily beaten by a mom and pop's pizzeria. We started with the Mussels appetizer and the attentive staff offered to split it into a red and white choice as we were bantering over which sauce. Terrible. Both were dreadfully overcooked into stringy, chewy nightmares covered in sauce. The red sauce is reminiscent of an East coast joint but the broth? Come on guys broth is not thick. From there, hubs had the East Coast linguine: again same sauce, same overcooked mussels with bland calamari and clams, (Yay, not overcooked). I suppose, they are steamed devoid of all seasoning and tossed together at the end. I had the Carbonara served Gluten Free (thank you so much) not bland but gritty and not a carbonara I've had anywhere in the world. It tasted like jarred Alfredo with bacon on top. Where was the unctuous egg yolk? We decided to skip dessert. So, why three stars? Service was on point and endearing. Atmosphere will evoke drunken memories of Little Italy NYC. But, the food? Don't go hungry.

We came here on a group lunch and upon entering we were transported somewhere else, somewhere fancy, nice, and, of excellence. Pretty quickly the restaurant was all packed. We felt like it was packed with regulars, friends and people who enjoyed the place. Bel was our server and she was very attentive, friendly, and quick. We were all so happy with the house bread, and the half/half special, where you can get two items in smaller portions, if you decide you want to try more than one thing. I loved the chicken picatta and the lasagna. Next time, I want to try the salmon salad my friend had. In all, the salads looked great too. I would also love to try the desserts, but I was really full. Coming back in 2 weeks for sure!

I was eyeing this restaurant for a while and was finally able to dine in recently. We first got a drink at the bar and the wife and I both got martinis. I love that they chilled the glass before serving and the drinks were great. The restaurant had a nice vibe and the walls were lined with photos. Unfortunately, we didn't get to sit in the main room and ended up sitting in a different room which was lame. It wasn't a big deal, but it reduced the vibe. Our waitress, who used to live in NY was lovely. Kudos to her. We ordered Gnocchi Asiago and Veal Osso Bucco as our entree. The gnocchi dish was delicious with just the right amount of cheese and all the ingredients were nicely mixed in. The osso bucco was a risky move, but I was craving it so I thought why not? The veal was decent and it could have used a little more salt and a little more hmmph. The parmesan risotto that came with it was lousy. It didn't have enough liquid and it had too much bite. I understand it's one of the easiest things to ruin though. Anyway, we enjoyed the experience for the most part. For someone who is a bit of a snob with Italian food, I would rate it as a 3.75 star, but rounding it up to 4. For the average diners, I think they would enjoy eating here for sure!

The best calamari I've had anywhere hands down also the white and red sauces are very tasty. We had the prosciutto wrapped cheese stix served battered and fried, love they come with a mushroom marsala as well as the red sauce. I forgot to get pictures of the lasagna and chicken parm, but as you can imagine homemade and fresh as well as so abundantly flavorful. Great service as always at all Kenney's restaurants I can't wait to come back to this place and the others. Travis

This place is really good the staff is friendly and the service was excellent. The reason for the three stars is because I had high expectations of the food, my brother in law raved about this place so much that I think I over hyped my own expectations. Like I said the food is delicious but it wouldn't be my number one Italian spot. The sourdough bread felt really thick to be sourdough but maybe that's just a personal preference I like my sourdough to be airy and crunchy this one was soft and thick almost like a biscuit. The ambiance is great family friendly and even perfect for a date night!

Meatballs 10/10 Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken 6/10 Mushroom ravioli 8/10 I had to come back for their meatballs. Even taking some to go to make a sub before I drive back home. I've settled for all kinds of meatballs and have never been one to even order meatballs with any of my pastas. These are the best meatballs you will ever have. The sauce is AMAZING I also orders the mushroom ravio. It is pretty damn good. The mushroom filling has great texture and the flavor of mushrooms with the smoked Gouda cream and truffle sauce... just a perfect pairing! The fettuccine Alfredo wasn't too great. The texture was too grainy. Just threw the whole dish off for me. Might have been a one time thing but I wouldn't order it now that I have a perfect appetizer and entree combo

Ode to Kenny's Italian Kitchen.....I awoke in the middle of the night craving that gravy on the mussels and crab stuffed mushrooms! Good grief!!!!!! The bruschetta had the freshest delightful flavors. My husband and I split the 8 ounce filet and he said it was the best steak he has ever had. It was smoky and delicious alongside the velvety and creamy Parmesan risotto! We enjoyed the lemon drop martinis. Martinis are a must at Kenny's with the 28 degree Grey Goose vodka on tap! The service was stellar! I love how the atmosphere has the Italian American Little Italy feel! This place is very popular so get your reservations way ahead of time! We will definitely return!

Went here for date night after I read reviews on Yelp. Was craving Italian food and this place didn't disappoint. For a chain , it was very good . The inside is dimly lit and super cute and romantic but it's casual. The turn around on tables is very fast , but I made an reservation just to be on the safe side . Dylan was our server and he was great with the recommendations. Raspberry lemonade is fire like order one. If you order an old fashion be careful it's super strong . We ordered the spaghetti with meatballs and Joeys bolognese and both were amazing . A lot of food which is great for leftovers . The dessert is also impeccable . order the coffee cake pie thing , i forgot the name ha

I went to this restaurant with a friend that had recommended that we go here! I loveeed this place. I think this might be my favorite Italian restaurant in Dallas so far. Definitely get a reservation if you go on a weekend cause it did seem to get busy. When you walk in the atmosphere is giving homey Italian vibes with the table set up and the decoration. The service was really quick and they even provide complimentary bread. They have so many different pastas to choose from but you can do half & half which gives you the ability to try two pastas for the price of one. I really liked this so I could try multiple pastas. I got the spicy parm sauce pasta and the gnocchi. I really really liked both of them. If you haven't been to this place you have to go! The food is good, the service is good, and the price is perfect for such a nice restaurant.

I was pleasantly surprised with this place! I'm not a huge fan of the wood fire grill, so I was not expecting much. The decor reminds me of a vintage Italian restaurant and it was crowded for a Monday. Come to find out it was $6 martini Monday. Whether I loved the most is they you could do 2 1/2 portions of the pasta dishes to make one meal. I love variety and this option made a difficult decision easy. Valet was short staffed so parking was a nightmare especially since there's a lot of construction currently. The waitstaff was knowledgeable, efficient, and friendly. Add this place to my regular list

I had such a great experience here with my friend. We didn't have a reservation, but that wasn't an issue because there were spots at the bar. Our server was Nikki ( hopefully spelling that correctly ). She was smart, witty, and had an amazing way of describing the food options. She made everything sound delicious. Nikki made a lot of excellent recommendations and since you can order two options I tried a special they were having and my favorite, Lasagna. I don't recall what my friend ordered but he tried two options as well. We devoured everything. We chatted with a few people who were regulars and they told us how everything is always that good. They told us several different things to try and told us there was a burger place, and a pizza place all owned by the same people. I know I'll be back again and I'll be trying out the other places we heard about. Everything was perfect!

The lasagna was amazing, with the perfect balance of cheese and meat with each bite. The salmon dish also tasted pretty good! The Crab Stuffed Mushrooms has bell pepper, bacon, herb parmesan breadcrumbs, and lemon butter caper sauce. I really loved the texture of the mushroom and how well it mixed with the sauce. Very flavorful and tasted so fresh! Even though we didn't have a reservation, we were seated immediately and got our food quickly as well. The walls of this restaurant are covered with pictures of happy customers and I loved how different it was.

Kenny's Italian is one the best restaurants around! The food is always fantastic! The service is always top notch and they have fantastic mocktails. They even have gluten free bread that is delicious should someone in your party need gluten free bread. Quite a few dishes can be subbed with gluten free pasta also. So if you want Italian and you have people that need gluten free this is your place! The meatballs are delicious, the lasagna is really good. The salmon is always cooked perfectly. The mushroom ravioli is one of my all time favorites and if you can't decide, you can get half and half. Sometimes for the monthly special they have a dish with champagne cream sauce. That's my all time favorite! The eggplant Parmesan is super good. I love this place! Definitely in my top 3 places to dine! From appetizers to salads to pastas to desserts everything at Kenny's is delicious!

The service was great, but the food tasted like it was a microwaved frozen family dish. There's no character to their sauce. It was gritty and separated. The Caesars were good, as was the calamari, but beyond that...way below par. Wouldn't recommend.

Absolutely amazing! Service, food, and environment were great! Our waiter, Gino, was so attentive and personable without being overbearing! He made great suggestions, had lots of patience, and was very hospitable for it being our first time/birthday celebration. The manager even came out to say happy birthday and give my mom a card signed by everyone working and a gift card as a happy birthday! Just above and beyond at every point! Drinks are strong but tasty, really recommend the espresso martini!

Their gf pizza crust is not great but the other Italian gluten free options are great. I love how the servers know the menu and ingredients! I'll be back for a great Italian meal - but not for gf pizza.

I love Kenny's places. This place was average in taste but not a place I expected from him. It is a much more informal quick plastic checkerboard tablecloth kind of places. It comes off as wanting to be a high end Italian place but with a Pizza Hut budget. If looking for a quick and easy it's a go to but don't bring a client here thinking to make a business deal like his wood fire grille.

The food was a home run! I have been to Kenny's Wood Fired Grill many times over the years and decided to give this one a try. It is family friendly without being too loud. Our server was wonderful. I could not decide between two dishes and she offered to do half and half. I loved the suggestion and went with it!

I could not wait to try out this restaurant. We made reservations and we were seated immediately. We went on a Sunday night and the restaurant was packed. The restaurant has plenty of seating and it's perfect for a date night or celebrating a birthday or anniversary. The atmosphere is super romantic, but also super casual. The food was out of this world. They first serve you with hot fresh bread. They have a really great wine and cocktail menu. The food came out so fast. We ordered a Caesar salad and was able to split that. Then we ordered the midnight meatballs to come with our main entrée. we also ordered the spicy shrimp pasta and the mushroom ravioli. The midnight meatballs were pretty good. The mushroom ravioli was absolutely delicious. It had quite a bit of ham and a delicious hint of truffle oil. My favorite was the spicy shrimp pasta. It was so huge. I was only able to eat a third. It had so much flavor and it was pretty spicy. Everything was absolutely wonderful. The only reason I'm giving four stars is because unfortunately, our waiter seemed to be a little bit annoyed and forgot parts of order or maybe they were overwhelmed. Overall, I think our waiter was just having a bad day, but this place is delicious and I would absolutely come back to try other menu items.

One of my go to Italian restaurant to eat at. The environment is nice. The foods were delicious. Their fresh bread with oil and balsamic vinegar dip was great. The service was quick and nice.

Everything was above and beyond. Food was a 10, ambiance was a 10 ( if you would want a little more quiet I would recommend sitting outside) and the service was a 10! Nothing but good things to say about this restaurant, came to celebrate an anniversary and we were taken care of very well. Calamari was very delicious 10/10, definitely a must try if you go and the chicken piccata was to die for 10/10, the fettuccine carbonara was good 8/10.

VERY accommodating to gluten free diet. Ask to split two entrees! They even gifted us a dessert and giftcard for our first anniversary. It was honestly so nice. The service was wonderful. I would recommend them 100x over. We did make a reservation in advance. Table was ready when we arrived. The area is pretty busy so be prepared to park and walk.

This place has some great Italian food. I tried one of their most popular dishes the Sicilian shrimp fettucine and it was amazing. I would prefer a little bit more spice but aside from that it was great. The waiters were really nice and the messages on their napkins are super cute. The warm fresh bread they give you to start was also delicious. I suggest asking for more once your dish comes. If you are indecisive of what to get they do a half and half option where you can 2 fishes just smaller portion, so take advantage because the food is great.
