About us

The Italian Kitchen has been locally owned and operated since 1948 and is considered to be an El Paso staple. 

Our homemade Italian recipes have been carried down from generations. Sam and Rita Maranto started this business in 1948 and have carried it down to their grandson, Santiago Alonso III. 

Santiago and his mother, Roseann Alonso, opened the second location, Italian Kitchen West, on March 20th, 2006, and both locations continue to serve the El Paso area with the same quality homemade Italian food.

We are dedicated to also doing large volume catering and private parties. We also have an extensive wine list as well as offering an outside dining experience to enjoy your nice glass of wine. Live music and featured food specials on weekends.
