Kenny's Italian Kitchen

Oh Man! This place was amazing! Super celiac educated and friendly! Between the GF mozzarella sticks and house bread, to a majority of options being able to be made GF safe it was AMAZING. Our waiter kept smiling because of how excited I was, she completely understood and was supportive! I cannot recommend enough

My husband and teenage daughter were traveling into Dallas from Colorado for a soccer tournament and I was researching food options and came across Kenny’s.

My daughter has several allergies (Gluten/Dairy/Soy/Shellfish), so as you can imagine, eating, while traveling, can be quite difficult for her/us.

I emailed Elizabeth Mardeda, Managing Partner, at Kenny’s, to find out if there was anything on their menu that may accommodate her restrictions.

Not only was Liz willing to go above and beyond to accommodate our families needs, but she was also so sweet! Kenny’s was willing to make a special batch of Gluten Free meatballs, create a salad specifically to her liking, and Liz even went to the local grocery store to purchase the special Gluten/dairy/soy free Ranch dressing my daughter loves to have with her Salads!! She said she “loves seeing great Mom's going above and beyond for their children!”

Liz, you can’t imagine what this meant for our family. The burden and anxiety of food allergies, especially while traveling out of state, can make any trip stressful. However, because of you, not only did my daughter have an AMAZING meal (she said it was the BEST, EVER!!), but you made our trip to Dallas an unforgettable one!! Thank you!

We went this past weekend for the first time. Service was excellent, and their staff is knowledgeable about Celiac. They have safety procedures in place to avoid cross-contamination, including dedicated kitchen space. They can make most items gluten free including their meatballs and chicken parm. Highly recommend.

The best place ever, my son has celiac so we always look for restaurants, he loves Kenny’s Burger but now we decided to check Kenny’s Pizza which was simply excellent, we tried: BBQ pizza, Vegetable Pizza, Classic Pizza, GF Meatballs pasta, ice cream and brownies. Everything was delicious and we kept asking ourselves if it GF but as my son had no gluten reaction and he is a very sensitive celiac boy we declared the place as The Best GF Family Restaurant we have ever been. Thank you Kenny’s pizza for doing all this efforts for celiac people

This was an amazing experience! We called ahead to check on food safety. They answered all our questions and made us feel soooo welcome. They even marked it on the reservation so that the waiter knew before we even got there. The manager came to the table to make sure we felt comfortable. The food was AMAZING. Try the gluten free brownie. They brought gluten free bread to the table. This will now be a go to place for us!!

Awesome Food that actually tastes Italian!!! Nice restaurant in a good area of town! The manager is very considerate and makes sure you are safe. They even offer complimentary glutenfree bread. The pasta was awesome! This is a diamond! We are real sensitive wheb it comes to Celiac and it's safe to say we had no reaction!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

THIS WAS THE MOST AMAZING GF DINING EXPERIENCE!!! Italian food is a hard one to pull off GF. Most of the time your options are ....salad. BUT KENNYS they can make any dish GF (except ravioli, lasagna, and gnocchi since it has a wheat batter put on, big sad) But the staff was so helpful and understanding and even brought out a separate loaf of GF bread for me with the oil and vinegar! So no they don’t have a separate menu but only the three items listed above are off limits. And the GF penne I had (instead of the gnocchi) was spectacular! It was not gummy or chewy like some GF pasta. It was absolutely perfect and we will definitely be back in future

Service and food were excellent. The waiter was very helpful. I had my own loaf of gluten free bread. He also gave me a separate dipping sauce so as not to cross-contaminate with others at the table. I ordered bruschetta and veal piccata with pasta. All delicious!!

If I could give them ten stars I would. They had gluten free garlic bread and bruschetta. They had gluten egg plant Parmesan and spaghetti. It was amazing!!! So many delicious options. And Angela was an awesome server. Will be back for sure. Highly recommend.

Amazing place, lots of gluten free options, even brought gluten free bread to our table. I’m very sensitive and didn’t get sick!

Celiac friendly?

We have eaten here two nights in a row and tried a number of different dishes. Not only was the service amazing (ask for Taylor) but almost the whole menu can be be made gluten free with separate prep space. I highly recommend this place if you are in the area.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

So many amazing GF options here. I had the shrimp scampi with GF angel hair pasta. The Grey Goose martinis are served at 28 degrees. The Bellini martini was so good! This restaurant is now on my top ten list of restaurants. Highly recommend it!

Been there many times. Very knowledgeable about gluten. Food is excellent.

All I can say is mozzarella sticks that are gf and free from cross contamination!!!!!!!!!!!! The server was knowledgeable and they had many options to choose from. This is my go to Italian place.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Most of their menu can be made GF. I ordered spaghetti and meatballs for my daughter and she LOVED it! They also brought her a GF loaf of bread for starter.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

One of my favorite places to eat! They accommodate very well to gluten free needs.

Will make anything gluten free and even lasagna or ravioli with 24 hour notice. They even had GF bread for an appetizer.

Love this place! The staff/kitchen are knowledgeable. I emailed before hand and here’s what they said about their kitchen practices:

“All of our menu items can be modified to accommodate gluten free restrictions. Our gluten free pizzas are prepared in the same oven as our regular pizzas, but we use a specific tray for all gluten free pizzas to ensure the separation from all possibly contaminated surfaces inside the oven. All other dishes can be prepared in our separate prep kitchen. All fried options, when prepared gluten free, will be sauteed. Our kitchen staff is fully trained to adhere to all allergy standards. They routinely wash their hands & change their gloves to ensure there will be no cross contamination when preparing allergy sensitive meals. “

I recommend the mozzarella sticks and chicken parmigiana!

Wide selection of gluten free dishes including pasta. They will even prepare gluten free lasagna with one day notice. Gluten free bread too. I had the yummy pasta carbonara and chicken parmigiana. Delicious for celiacs and those that can consume gluten too!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I love their GF Chicken Parmesan with GF spaghetti. They even bring hot gluten-free bread upon request.

So great. We did it to go and everything GF was marked and in a separate bag. Very good food as well. My 6 year old loves it anytime he can have GF bread.

Celiac friendly?

Amazing gluten free options, including gluten free bread! What a gem!

Amazing service, fantastic food and almost all gluten friendly. The staff is well educated and the manager was beyond helpful! They ever serve gutlen free bread if you ask when you sit down and everyone else gets bread! A+++!

Almost anything can be made gluten free! and its all delicious!

Sausage and peppers with gf spaghetti were good. Spaghetti was cooked well. Onion roll was the gf bread but it came to the table cold on the inside from being frozen. Wasn't very good. Crumbly.

This restaurant was great. They even make gf meatballs. Pretty much anything on the menu can be made gluten free and they even made gluten free garlic bread. Will come back to this place.

Great food, it's got several choices. They used to have a GF bread pudding for dessert. But it is no longer offered. We would go there if 1 of us wanted dessert, but now there's no reason to wait 1+ hours for a table.

Best gf Italian food

Awesome place!!! Great food, knowledgable staff, and wonderful atmosphere! Had the best GF chicken parmesan here! Great for date night or dinner with friends.

Celiac friendly?

Best Gluten Free selections in the DFW metroplex and wonderful staff! Once a week sorta place! 💞 $1 Gluten Free Meatballs on Sunday! Guess where I'll be?

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Things must have changed since the 2014 reviews because I was told that while the pasta was gluten free it was still cooked in the same water as the regular pasta and fried items were all done in the same fryer. While the chicken marsala that I had was good, I would't give them 5 stars because of the above issues.

Awesome food and for the first time in a long time my sister(the celiac)...had fried mozzarella sticks and was offered bread the was gluten free...she was very happy!!

Loved this place- they can make about 90% of their menu gf!! I haven't had fried mozzarella in over a year since I discovered I was gluten intolerant. Great food, amazing Customer service. We will be going back!

The best Italian food we've had in years!!Executive Chef Jose Castillo is amazing in the kitchen. The chicken parm was the best we've ever had...and the Gf pasta is impirted from Italy. Wonderful meal...wonderful wine!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Kenny's Italian Kitchen is our family's go-to restaurant for gluten-free Italian. There's something for everyone in our family - the GF mom gets Eggplant Parm, the GF kids get GF bread and pasta and the gluten-eater dad gets his ravioli. The service is great.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Hands down best GF Italian I've had! I highly recommend it!

WoW! & Yum! I was in Dallas on business today & was so glad to find this amazing restaurant near my hotel on Belt Line Rd. I can actually see myself taking my client's here in the future and feeling perfectly safe. The hostess & waiter reassured me that they have many GF diners who return often. I loved hearing that! The GF meatball appetizer was a perfect start to the meal. GF bread was a nice feature to the experience, but it was my entree that "stole the show"! The GF chicken pamisian that I read about truly is worth every calorie. It was so tender I cut it with my fork -- no lying! The pasta is a GF penne, which was fine with me. I was too stuffed for dessert, but I will indulge next time. Also worth mentioning: the waiter said everything could be prepared GF except the ravioli, lasgana and 2 other items I can't recall, making the GF options quite numerous. NOTE: the restaurant is in the same shopping area as the new Whole Foods Market off of Belt Line Rd.
