I would like to start this one off with the service was amazing. Everyone was smiling and happy to be working here. Great vibe from all of the employees. The back patio was a great spot to relax and enjoy a nice Italian meal. The food was amazing. I unfortunately was unable to get a picture of my house salad with homemade Italian sauce. It lasted maybe 30 seconds on my plate. The bruschetta was to die for. The bread perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and it was seasoned perfectly. I love a good Marsala with anything. I decided to go with the veal today because the table next to me was hyping the food up. I made the right choice! Very good pasta made fresh. All in all I would recommend this place to anyone! read more

The food here was good as you can tell in the picture I ate half of it but sad to say I had a tummy ache not too long after. The service was really great. It's small inside but still not bad for a quick lunch. read more

Good portions, flavorful dishes, quick service and received food in a brisk timely manner. Garlic rolls and the meatball sausage appetizers were great. 3.5% discount if you pay cash....luckily I had enough on hand by chance. Only downside was the pasta in my lasagna was a tad bit on the overly firm side of al dente. read more

No air conditioning which made dining miserable. Ordered pizza. It was mediocre. Would not order that again. Hopefully they get ac fixed. I read more

I had a cheese pizza with pepperoni, sausage and black olives delivered to me from this establishment recently! The pizza arrived quickly in a plain cardboard box. The pizza was good. The cheese, pepperoni, and black olives toppings were good portions. The sausage portions not so much. The crust was very good! It has a nice semi-crusty texture and tastes very good. Overall, I give this pizza four stars. I would order from here again, the value was very good, and I would like to try their other food. read more

We had our first visit today and it will not be our last. Food was excellent and the service by the owner was outstanding. My wife had the lasagna, and I had penne pasta with bolognese. Both were served piping hot, along with an excellent salad. Tutti Bene!! read more

Dem Italiano nikas will treat you like family. No matter what side of the tracks you're from, once you walk in Demnikas will offer you the best sit in the house: serve you the best cold crisp or water. And the servers top shelf class. Demnikas knows what they doings. Mamma Mia read more

Dem Nikkas can cook! The food is good! Service is amazing also. I would definitely recommend and will return.

This place can't keep up with take out orders. No biggie if you can't just don't offer it on the days you can't. My order was supposed to be ready at 7pm I got there at 6:50pm. Was expecting another 10 minutes because I was early. No one even acknowledged me until 6:56pm just to tell me that haven't started the order yet cause pick up was at 7 Grub hub and door dash needs to take this one off of their app. read more

The food was fantastic! Most delicious Veal Francese I have had in a long long time. Generous portion of Veal, very tender and the sauce was exploding with lemony goodness. Served over a huge bed of fettuccine. My husband chose the same dish and we were both very satisfied. This is a casual restaurant, not fine dining as far as ambiance, but comfortable and pleasant inside. Table seating. There is a small bar you can sit at too. Service was very attentive and we were checked on frequently by an owner. Sorry I did not catch his name. I was over the moon to see Limoncello cake on the dessert menu. I took a slice home and my husband took home a cannolo. Both were excellent. So glad we finally made it here and I highly recommend this restaurant for your Italian food fix. read more

Stopped for lunch. My bowl of pasta fajoili soup was excellent. My lasagna was also good. You could taste the garlic slightly too. My only recommendation is serve the soup with a soup spoon not a tea spoon. read more

Food, service, ambiance outdoors was all incredible. Chicken piccata was amazing! Would definitely dine here again.

Great food try it!! The pizza was amazing! The owner cares alot about her food and it's authenticity.

Food was fresh and tasty. My companions enjoyed their calzone and lasagna and I ordered the chicken Marsala. I wasn't expecting it to be chopped chicken mixed with fettuccine noodles (which had an amazing flavor but were a tad salty for me) but it was tasty with a large portion. Garlic knot rolls were delicious. The owner was friendly and chatty. read more

The food was outstanding, I got the Lasagna and my got chicken Parmigiana. We spit an Italian sausage appetizer, very good. Service was ok, server seemed a bit new and unsure of things. The restaurant was very nice and clean. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a place that's not busy and has outstanding food. read more

Small hole in the wall restaurant. Not much warmth or ambiance, but if you're looking for a place to sit and or get takeout this is A ok. The service was great. Our server was sweet, quick, and checked in frequently. Typical "Italian" fare for the menu. No true Vegan options. Minimal wine selection but I was fine with what I had. Dinners come with a side salad which is the typical iceberg lettuce with tomato and onion. Only two dressing options which are ranch / Italian. My dinner was fair; spaghetti and meatballs. Nothing exceptional in any way for flavor profile. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the garlic roll that accompanied the dinner. Would I go back? Sure. If it was someone else's choice. read more

Nice relaxing place to eat. I love the peaceful music they have playing. The have 11 tables and one big tables to sit down at and enjoy your food. Some tables are 4 person while others are 6 person tables. They have a nice bar as well. I had to try this place. I always heard great reviews on the food. The waiter was nice and got my drink quick and asked if I had any questions concerning menu before I ordered. I got the lasagna! The lasagna was hot and delicious. I definitely recommend this place. read more

This place rules. The food was so delicious and portions were generous. We ordered cheese ravioli, baked ziti, and cannoli. I would definitely go out of my way to go here and hopefully will get the chance to return sometime. Highly recommend any of the things we ordered. Service was quick and friendly but we went when it wasn't very busy. I would have loved to be in, like, a candlelit grotto while enjoying this meal, but for a small town in the middle of Ohio, the vibe was immaculate. read more

So good. I'm concerned because this place is always empty. I need them to be successful. I'm nuts about meatball/sausage appetizer. The sauce is addictive. The pastas are all decent too. Friendly service. read more

Our first time. My understanding is mom and son own. Appears to family run. Used to be Palermo's GO! Food is GREAT. The son and sister greeted us. So kind and grateful for our patronage. Brett's salad was a crispy leafy salad with onion and tomato. The Italian dressing is perfection. He had the chicken marsala. Enough food for 2 people. Generous portion!! Sauce full of flavor. Chicken was tender. Noodles PERFECT!! I had the pizza. Crust great. The sauce....WOW! Robust and deeeeeelicious!! Veggies were fresh and great. Generous amount of veggies and cheese. We will definitely return. The entire menu looks great. Give them a try. You won't leave hungry and you'll leave with a family truly grateful for you coming. read more

Great service. Prompt, courteous, kind, and professional. The deluxe pizza was delicious, and the chicken parmigiana was incredible. Somehow they even made mozzarella sticks amazing. Great marinara sauce, great pasta sauce. Just the right amount of roasted garlic and chunks of tomatoes in each. read more

Absolutely awful this time the spagetti was in water gross tasting The salad Isn't the dressing of old I will not return. Had Bren there before ever again read more

We have known and liked this property for many years. Great to see new owners thriving with re-naming. This is a Gem of an Italian restaurant, and we recommend. Dining Four Star Service Three Star Ambience Three Star We are not the demographic who orders pizza in an Italian restaurant; menu has many other delightful pasta choices The tariff is appropriate for the fare. read more

First time dining and it was great! Ordered the pasta trio and chicken piccata, portion sizes were generous! Very good!! Service was great, owner visited our table several times. Give it a try!! read more

Really nice family run neighborhood Italian restaurant. Lots of menu choices. Pleasant atmosphere and friendly service from the owner.

Food is excellent. Will be back again. Had garlic knots, salad, pizza, 4-way pasta and buttered noodles. Service was good, a bit slow, but we did put in our order at the same time as 16 person table next to us. Ambiance is what you would think of a strip mall restaurant, but had a family restaurant vibe in a good way. read more

Th pizza at this place was really good. It's a family owned pizza shop.I got the white pizza, good crust and the cheese/garlic combo was very good. I need some pepper flakes for my taste though. The place has good decor. The staff are friendly and polite. I would highly recommend this place. read more

Ali and his staff did an amazing job getting food to my family after my 100 year grandmother's funeral. Through several phone calls, with me being in Austin, Tx, they made it work. Thank you Ali. Great food, great service. read more

Friendly environment. Food came out hot and almost immediately. Authentic Italian was amazing. The owner was welcoming. Would recommend!

The pasta was cooked to perfection. I had fettuccine Alfredo and was possibly the best I've ever had.

I just found this place ! Excellent calzone and pizza. Super nice folks running it - family biz. Good sauce (not as good as my mommas though) . Definitely wished I had found this sooner. read more

Our group of 12, (approximately) were seated in this tiny, but sufficiently staffed Italian restaurant with ample nearby parking, and upon entering my biggest and only complaint is that it was entirely too cold & after asking for the heat to be turned up, it was still cold. But the food was absolutely delicious and super hot, filled with all the flavors one would expect in a meat lasagna. One order was delivered after we had all eaten (go figure,) but at a guest's request, it was free. Big deal! I still think they deserve 5 stars because it was very delicious & I'd definitely return but only if they have heat! read more

I don't leave reviews unless they are really bad. This place had decent food but if you're going to dine in you'd be better off ordering door dash to your table. We waited an extreme amount of time for our food while 10+door dasher came and left. People next to us sat atleast 20 min after we ordered got their food before us. As well as another table. We ordered pizza, calzone, chicken alfredo (watery sauce barf) and lasagna. If the food would have been amazing the wait would have been ok but seriously over an hour after we ordered. The place had maybe 2-3 other tables occupied so it wasn't rush hour. Will not be going back. read more

AMAZING food, the service was terrific, the mood was just perfect. I highly recommend for lunch - quite affordable and beyond belief good!

Demnika's was always our favorite go to Italian Restaurant. We stopped in for lunch last week as we were craving Italian. Ordered the Meatball and Sausage appetizer combo and the Lasagna. Meatballs were a little spicy last time we were in and seemed even more spicy this visit. I used to love the meatballs but not a favorite anymore. The lasagna portion was smaller then the norm on our many previous visits and also just did not taste the same. Garlic Knots also were not the same, almost seemed stale with little garlic. We were told they had a new Chef from Florida. I was quite disappointed this visit. read more

The service is so good at this restaurant combined with the food that I really want to give it a five star review. Every dish I've had is been very good and the service is fast and efficient, professional, friendly everything you would want. The ambience is nice and they have a pretty cool outdoor dining area . The reason I can't give it five stars? I want more food choices. They have pasta dishes covered well, and of course pizza but I would like more meat or fish dishes. Certainly that's a personal preference, but this is my personal review. If when you go into an Italian restaurant, you typically get some pasta dishes, maybe some wine and wanna have a nice relaxing evening. They are five stars for sure. read more

Have passed this place several times always curious to stop in.. so happy we did! Don't let the location make you pass up this local Italian spot for a more frequented restaurant. Everything tasted very homemade. You won't regret starting with the mozzarella sticks. Our waiter was great and even offered a complimentary Tiramisu for my birthday. We'll be back soon. read more

Demnika's Italiano - Fettuccini Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Kettering, Ohio

My husband and I have been looking for that small, local restaurant that provides us with a quality, tasty Italian meal. Demnika's is all of that. We stopped for lunch on a Tuesday. The restaurant was almost empty. I hope they are getting bigger dinner crowds because this restaurant deserves some attention. We ordered the meatball/sausage appetizer, the antipasto salad, meat lasagna and baked ziti. Our server was new, but she did her best and we have no complaints. We ordered the meatball/sausage appetizer on the advice of another Yelp review. To be honest, I did not like the meatball. I felt it was dry and didn't have quite the right taste. Did I mention I'm Sicilian? I know my meatballs. However, the sausage and the tomato sauce more than made up for the meatball. The antipasto salad was also good. I loved how the meats were rolled up inside of each other. The dressing was perfect but I would have preferred that it come in something besides a plastic container. Also, my husband found the tomato end in his part of the salad. That's a no-no in my book. Next came our entrees. I had the meat lasagna. The portion was huge! It also came with two garlic buns. Next time, I will ask to have the garlic buns with my salad as I prefer it that way. The lasagna was delicious. I had to force myself to stop eating because it was so tasty but I knew I had already eaten more than enough. My husband had the baked ziti and it too was delicious and a very generous portion, so much so that we had leftovers the next day. I couldn't resist getting a cannoli for take-out dessert. It too was delicious but a bit expensive. Also, the cream did not reach entirely to the center of the cannoli. I gave this restaurant 5 stars as it outshines any other Italian restaurants I have tried in the area. I hope they can keep improving and serving that delicious food. This is now our go-to Italian spot! read more
