We had heard that Gino's tenderloins were big but dang. I ordered two to go for three of us and we couldn't even get through one. I would recommend Gino's to everyone. read more

Gino's Italiano - Tenderloin sandwich - Italian Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

Wanted to try a new BPT and liked what others said about this place. Great sandwich - tasty, well seasoned and porky. I like mine with Mayo, horseradish, pickles and onions and my server brought exactly what I wanted. I also like being able to get well cooked fresh broccoli as a side. Kind of a far drive for me but if I am back in Kearney, I will return. read more

Gino's Italiano - Pork tenderloin with a side of broccoli. - Italian Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

So, when someone says to you let's eat Italian tonight, what goes through your mind? Are you going to order a pasta, like a spaghetti or maybe a penne, possibly fettuccine, and there is always angel hair? Or maybe you're going to go with a sandwich like a meatball sandwich or an Italian panini, what about baked? Is lasagna your thing how about chicken parmesan, will that work for you? For me it's simple I absolutely love Fettuccine Alfredo, and you toss in some shrimp and I'm in heaven. So today I was thinking about Italian, and I was wanting to go someplace I had never been before. So, I go out to my garage and get in my Horseless Carriage and send that buggy northward on I-35 to the Great Northern Tundra and a city called Kearney. And in this city call Kearney there's an Italian place called Gino's Italiano. So, I pull myself out of the buggy, I walk up and open the door and inside I go where was seated at table. I order up my fettuccine alfredo with shrimp. They served it with some bread, and I had a beer to help wash it all down. Just look at that gorgeous bowl of pasta! The Alfredo sauce was rich, creamy, and smooth and the noodles were cooked perfectly. The shrimp was to the tooth there was no rubberiness to it! And dig in I did, after I let it cool down a bit because you see they brought it to the table with steam rolling off of it! And with each bite of those pasta noodles and that sauce it got better, richer, and creamier. If you happen to find yourself in Kearney don't be afraid to give this place a try because they also have weekly hamburger specials and they have a breaded pork loin sandwich that I've heard other people say is quite good. Well done Gino's Italiano! Well done indeed! Stuffing my pie hole with delicious pasta and shrimp in a town called Kearny. P.S. I had a take box with what was left of the pasta and like the old fool I am, I walked off and left it on the table! read more

Gino's Italiano - The sampler was amazing - Italian Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

Wow! What a find! We were in Kearney to see the tulip farm and stumbled on this gem for lunch. The menu was excellent -- most of your basic Italian favorites. I had the "Italian steak" (pork tenderloin) parmigiana sandwich with a side of spaghetti and red sauce. The portion was HUGE and the food was perfect. The sauce is sweet and delicious and the meat was tender and perfectly cooked. My wife had an Italian panini with a side of eggplant parmigiana. The portion was too large for her (which is not a complaint). The server was attentive and welcoming. The prices were fair, particularly given the portion sizes. I will eat here the next time I'm in the area. I loved it. read more

Found the reviews and felt like Italian. So VERY glad we did!!! Special shrimp and andouilles Sausage penne dish. Perfect!!! All three of us shared and three palates agreed. Thank you for being there for us. read more

Me and my Wife had dinner here because of other pics and reviews, we came up from Gladstone Mo. and it was worth the drive, the staff and Chef D himself were awesome, we will definitely be back, I had the tenderloin and I am not really a tenderloin fan but man it was amazing and I could not even finish it, lol could not even make it to the sandwich part haha. It was thick and juicy and the flavors was great. My wife had the Cajun chicken fettuccine, and she said it was delicious and you could tell Chef D made the noodles from scratch. We will definitely be back to try other selections too. And we finished off the meal with Chef D's personal selection of cream brûlée, and I am not sure if I ever had it before but it was very delicious Thank you Chef D and your staff for taking great care of us. This was our first visit but not our last!!! read more

tiramasu was good, toasted raviolie was ok, The shrimp dinner for 22.00 was overpriced for 8 shrimp and garlic mash potatoes. Flavor was good. It should have been half that cost. very disapointed to say the least. Will not be getting food from there again read more

Very good Italian restaurant in Kearney, MO. Service is excellent and very clean inside. Food is excellent also, as most dishes appear to be very authentic. Not sure about the Pizza as we haven't tried it. read more

I've been going to Gino's since I was a kid. The food is wonderful and the staff is always so friendly. You cannot go wrong with anything on the menu. Between the appetizers, salads, sandwiches, and pasta dishes, you'll be sure to find something you love! read more

What a great lil place! Totally surprised there was an Italian restaurant in Kearney and the food was great! Sauce was Sicilian tasting with a hint of sweet, ravioli was very good, salad was fresh with romaine and homemade Italian dressing. Mom had egg plant Parmesan and was very fresh and large in quantity. Waitress was super friendly and helpful. We will be going back. read more

I will have to limit my words! By far the BEST restaurant in or near Kearney MO! Used to be I couldn't have anything but the Italian steak because I LOVE it sooo much! But now they have added so many amazing things we need to come at least once a week to try it all and have Italian steak sometimes!!!! read more

Always amazing service. The staff is so friendly and the food is delicious. The eggplant parm will give me at least two meals, sometimes three. The Cajun pasta is so good, build your own pasta gets two thumbs up. Can't forget the huge, crunchy tenderloin & LOVE the tiramisu! read more

Went for brunch. Waiter was kind enough, just seemed distracted. I ordered a Sampler platter salad that was perfectly prepared and I enjoyed right to the last bite. And their cheesecake was delicious. read more

I don't know who took over this place, but WOW did it go down hill. The only thing we really liked was the bread, and it's just run of the mill grocery store italian bread. We got a bowl of lasagna. Yep, a BOWL. They can't serve it on a plate because it comes out swimming in an inch of liquid. Not sauce, but more like tomato broth. I've never seen lasagna served as a soup before.... read more

Amazing food with a great family atmosphere! The eggplant parmigiana and anything with Alfredo sauce is my favorite.

Food and service was great. Had toasted raviolis a pizza and the fettuccine. Unassuming atmosphere but this place is solid.

Delicious spicy sweet sauce... We shared between two of us and couldn't clean the platter read more

Gino's Italiano - Sampler platter - Italian Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

We ate here the last time we were in Kearney MO, and both times, it was absolutely superb! This is the best Italian place I've eaten at. The service was great and the ambiance was light and casual. I would definitely recommend eating here. read more

For a small town Italian place, it was pleasantly tasty. They have quite the wine list as well! And dessert :) For starters, we ordered the calamari and the toasted ravioli. Both were very delicious. Probably some of the best toasted ravioli I've had in a long time. It had sausage and cheese mixed in fried to a perfection. Very tasty! Then I ordered the spinach and artichoke pizza. It lasted me 4 days with leftovers! It was amazing. Very juicy and the crust was cooked in a brick oven. Very well done. My friend ordered the Cajun pasta and it was very good as well. Not too spicy! But still creamy! For dessert we ordered the strawberry cheesecake and the friend cheesecake stick thing served with ice cream. It was good, although less cheesecake in the middle would have been better! Will go back anytime I want Italian! read more

Unfortunately they had no steaks so I went with pasta and had the sampler. Holy heavens it was good! I have to say don't bother with the garlic cheese bread. It's sliced bread with melted butter and garlic powder and a slice of cheese on it. - not worth the money. Do get the pasta though. Super delicious and you get enough for 3 meals. My only suggestion is that when they seat a customer they should say what they are out of at that time. It would save the disappointment when the customer is told they are out of something. I would certainly eat here again! read more

Loved it! The atmosphere was so inviting, the food authentic Italian and fun of love & bold flavors! Yum. Our first time & we'll definitely be going back. Can't wait! read more

Sorry, but this place is not fresh Italian. Went there a few weeks ago and was so disappointed in the food. Service was great but food tasted to be frozen foods instead of fresh. read more

Stopped here for lunch on the way to Tulsa. We saw the sign off the highway and decided to give it a try and it did not disappoint. Husband had the Gino's sampler with 4 different type of pasta, lasagna is my favor and he likes all 4 - cheese ravioli, fettuccine alfredo and penne marinara, and lasagna of course. I had Gino's Diablo and it's A LOT of pasta and very delicious. The penne is cooked al dante and the sausage is very flavorful. Would totally recommend! read more

Food is bland and seems to be made from frozen not fresh ingredients. Have eaten here a few times. Tried the eggplant parmigiana. Flaccid breaded eggplant with flavorless sauce. Left most of it uneaten. Tried their half fried chicken special. Greasy and the breading was not seasoned. Husband has ordered the lasagna which he says isn't bad. read more

Had to stop in before Gino goes on vacation from June 30-July 9 and he reopens for fried chicken night on July 10. Got the 1/2 loaf meatzza bread for me and quarter loaf pepperoni for Katrina. This stuff beats the frozen French bread at the grocery hand down. And like always Gino was making his rounds throughout the night including serenading a birthday party and delivering their birthday dessert at a table near us. read more

What a find while passing through this berg. To me this food was every bit as good as our trip across Italy a couple years ago. Servers were 'people persons' and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I had the four course Gino's sampler and glad I did. If I only had one suggestion it might be a different sausage thad had a snap when you bite it. Congratulations Gino. You have an absolute success there and we are glad we found you... read more

Great food, (and not just Italian), great service, and the prices are pretty reasonable considering the amount of food that you receive.

Just a heads up for anyone looking at their website to place a catering order or anything apparently. While still posted with no mention of not being current, prices are now more than double. I had the unfortunate experience of ordering based on website prices and was not quoted a price difference even after talking to a manager and my reference to the website. At no time did the mgr share that the website was not correct or outdated. My fault for not confirming the total cost! GM has taken no ownership (and very rude) for the misinformation or in having any interest in an appropriate resolution. Been a customer since day 1, new owners have destroyed a great business in my eyes. Will never return! read more

Ordered pasta with clams server asked red or white sauce, I asked for white sauce. What I got was pasta with a can of chopped clams with juice dumped on top. No white sauce only clear liquid from clams. Very disappointed. Don p. read more

Love the food, is rare to find authentic Italian food. The desserts are great too, the Xanadu is their best one! I have ordered the Italian Panini, loooved it! Today I came back to try linguini alfredo broccoli and chicken pasta. The customer service is amazing here, even when they are super busy. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Gino's Italiano - Today I ordered the bbq grilled chicken gluten free pizza, wow I'm loving it, delicious!! - Italian Near Me - Kearney, Missouri

Under new ownership and worth a try again. They treat their staff well and they will listen to any feedback. Give Gino's a try.

Decent family Italian food in small town. I bring my family here, often. The staff are always very friendly and Gino himself makes it a point to walk around and visit with patrons eating here. Family atmosphere. Portions are large, if that is a checkbox for you. It's not going to compare to finer cuisine Italian restaurants in KC, but if you're in the area and want Italian food, Gino's will hit the spot. read more

I've read several reviews, and am pretty surprised about the negative ones. The environment is welcoming and family friendly, with GREAT flavors. I'll be back as soon as possible. read more
