About the restaurant

Hailing from Florence, Italy, Adelmo Banchetti started his career in the food and beverage world at the tender age of 16. His work took him all over the world from ships to hotels, and finally, Dallas, Texas , where he worked at the legendary Fairmont Hotel’s Pyramid Room, the Mansion On Turtle Creek, and the Crescent Court Hotel. In 1989, he and his wife Eliza, who hails from the Mediterranean region, opened Adelmo’s Ristorante to rave reviews. Their love of family, friends, good food and wines is reflected, to this day, at Adelmo’s. We feature cuisine inspired by the Italian/ Mediterranean region as well as the herbs, spices and grains indigenous to its shores. Made with the freshest ingredients. Now, the tradition continues with their children Andrew and Lauren on board . We continue to be family owned and operated and offer award winning wine selections and personalized service, all in a rare old world setting.

We had a wonderful dinner here. The food was exceptional. A salad of fresh mushrooms, artichokes and hearts of palm lightly dressed was delicious. I had the risotto alla Veneziana and my husband had the pork Milanese which was even better than veal. The owner, Wende, recommended an excellent wine from Sicily! We will definitely put this on our rotation of favorite restaurants. Thanks for an excellent evening.

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.

This is one of my favorite restaurants! They are always accommodating, such as if you don't want the risotto you can get vegetables with your entree, and they are not bland vegetables, they are packed with flavor! So many fantastic choices, some of my go to's are the scallops and sea bass (when they have it). Lamb chops and the ossobucco are also on my favorite list. The decor and ambiance just invites you to sit back, relax and enjoy your meal.

The head guy and hostesses were very kind and accommodating. Very noisy though. Hard to have a conversation. Also, for an Italian restaurant to not bring bread and olive oil at table not so good. Overall okay. Might return. Food was okay. Charcuterie board with no crackers or bits of toast. Unusual.
