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.

It had been some time since my wife and I had been back to Momo‘s for dinner. This time was for our 27th anniversary and it did not disappoint as always remembered. The pasta and seafood dishes we had were delicious and perfectly cooked and the service we receive from Arturo was wonderful. Arturo made us feel comfortable and welcome. Also, you could actually have a conversation without being drowned out by the restaurant noise which was very nice. The dinner was finished off with an amazing complimentary slice of lemon cake that’s made in house for our anniversary which we thought was very nice. We look forward to coming back soon!

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.

*We are a cashless restaurant. For your convenience, we accept all major credit and debit cards.
*Valet parking is available every night conveniently in front of our restaurant.

I am a big fan and have been many times. This visit I took a large group of 20 from our office as the end of day-long workshop. We had a great experience. The Specialty Cocktails were delicious and unique (Prosciutto rubbed Old Fashioned!). The food was fresh, seasonal, and loved by all. They also have an inviting side room for large group that helps everyone relax and enjoy the time with work friends. Service was on point and very caring. Almost everyone commented on how great of a time they had!
