Demnika's Italiano

Sean Hauser a month ago

First time last night. The food was excellent, and tasted like someone's Nona had prepared it. I had the Tour of Italy, but only made it half way. The fettucine alfredo was so good, I could eat it once a week. My wife had the Calzone with spinach and it was the size of a large pizza, folded in half of course. This is the best Italian in Kettering. Our waiter was friendly and talked with us about the menu and gave that kind of service you used to get in restaurants. A great experience for the first visit.

We found this place based on the high reviews. The food was ok. I had chicken Parm which had great flavor, but the crust was soggy. The temperature was super hot on outside and just warm on inside, which suggested to me that it had seen a microwave. The garlic rolls where good. My daughters lasagna was ok. Salads were very red cabbage and carrots heavy, and very basic. Service was meh. We were the only ones in there (it was an off time ) and it was slow. The bar was out of several beers, however they mentioned supply interruptions because of high fuel prices .. which likely checks out. The inside of the restaurant just felt dated. It was however clean, but just felt like a strip mall Italian place. We are out of town so I can't give them another try... Which I only would based on the other reviews.

Started off with some Garli Knots. They came to the table pipping hot. They were light inside not doey, a healthy sprinkling of parmesan cheese, and a good size. The marinara had a good flavor and i think would have been so much better if it were hot or even warm. Instead it had the temperature of just coming out of the fridge. I Ordered that Penne with marinara and meatballs, and a garden side salad with housemate Italian dressing. Now either I didn't read the description correctly, or I missed something when I ordered, because this came with Ricotta cheese mixed in. I am not a fan of Ricotta. But even with that, the sauce was pretty good. The dish was bubbling hot, and there was a good portion of mozzarella on top. I wished it had came with more than one and half meatballs, as they were the star of the dish. This is not something I don't think I would order again, like I said not a Ricotta fan, but that is just me, you may like it better than I did. Next time I think I will try the meatball sub.

THIS IS NOT ITALIAN, THIS IS PRACTICALLY NOT EVEN FOOD. To start it is clean and service was generally attentive. that is about all I can say that is complimentary. we got the garlic knots as an app. They were not knots, they were rolls but whatever. we ordered chicken parm and eggplant parm as our meals. they come with salads. I ordered ceaser my husband got ranch dressing. both of us were served semi translucent lettuce with one cherry tomato. that is not a salad! we were starving so we ate them. when the entrees came it looked alright is best I could say. the pasta looked old and stained orange but we kept on. my husband's chicken was not chicken parm. it was a pre prepared sysco type fried chicken breast. the chicken would fall apart when cutting before the breading gave an inch. My eggplant was beyond disgraceful. it was 90% eggplant skin. ive never seen this in my life, ive never prepared eggplant parm like this, or eaten anything like that in the states(or Italy). I tried to scrape the eggplant out of the greasy skin but it was so slimy and would of equaled probably 2 tablespoons of the flesh I gave up. in between the layers of skin peels was whole leaves and stems of wil

We visited here back when it was Palermos. It was good then, but now it is Demnikas. Wow, the food is just fantastic. Service was on spot, food was hot and fast. Each plate was large and looked absolutely amazing. We will definitely be back to try more plates. Portions are large, everything was so fresh
