New restaurant serving authentic Italian food now open in Xenia

The full-service restaurant opened on Friday, July 14 and Keen said there were around 40 people at the door waiting.

“It was incredible,” Keen said. “This community hasn’t had an Italian restaurant here before.”

Troni Brothers Italian Restaurant is Keen’s second restaurant. He also owns Troni Brothers Pizza in Kettering. The Kettering location serves 80 percent pizza and 20 percent pasta whereas the Xenia location has served 90 percent pasta and 10 percent pizza since opening.

The menu features salads, soups, wings, appetizers, baked pasta, pizza, calzones and more. They also have a lunch menu available from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesday through Friday with subs. The dinner menu is available all day.

Troni Brothers Italian Restaurant is in the process of obtaining a liquor license for beer and wine.

Keen is asking customers for patience as they get acclimated to the space.
