Gino’s has been a family owned and operated business since 2003 when it was established in Kearney, MO. In 2020, Peter and Jaimie Emerson purchased Gino’s with the intent of making a better life for their family. They fell in love with the town and the people who consistently participate in creating the family atmosphere Gino’s is known for. Peter actively serves in the Army and has a passion for helping Veterans/1st Responders. Every day, we thank our brave Veterans and 1st Responders with a 10% discount; just ask your server.

Peter works full-time in St. Louis where his wife has the most important job of managing their house as the Stay-at- Home Mom. Gino’s in Kearney remains family operated however with Chef Dennis and Shelly Murray at the helm as a husband and wife team. Chef Dennis has decades of fine dining experience and a passion for seafood. He’s teaching his son the ropes in the kitchen while Shelly ensures you receive the great service we’re known for.
