Coppell

About the restaurant

Bruno’s Ristorante has been a fixture in the neighborhood for many years. We’ve enjoyed entertaining everyone from nearby residents to business guests to the Dallas Cowboys (until recently) and those who travel from further away.

Bruno Ceka started this establishment over 25 years ago, and has been actively involved since its beginning. Bruno is an enthusiastic businessman who loves working in and serving the local community. He’s had several business ventures in the area over the years, but his passion has always been here, at Bruno’s. Most days you’ll see him welcoming you in the dining room.

About the restaurant

Handmade every day, and served to you in minutes
The term Loveria means something “irresistible”, a gastronomic delicacy, for authentic Italian food Lovers.

Loveria™ is a single container with many souls, for a multi‐faceted gastronomic and convivial offer. A project that put delicious food, interior design, and the idea of a place where people come to stay, on the same level. An itinerary of sociality, or rather a concept conceived by a team of Italians to experience the authentic Italian Culture.

The food and service is always great. My only complaint is that temperature of the restaurant is way too warm for us. It’s hard to enjoy your meal when you’re melting. 🫠

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.

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!
