Went with a large family group on nine. As always, the food was exceptional along with the service. We'll definitely be back again. My husband and I always share the Johnny's Combo and still have plenty to take home.
Since I was by myself, I had no wait. Food and customer service from the employees was excellent. This plate with 2 options spicey pasta something with 8oz ribeye $23 or $24. Tasty and allows you to get a variety of flavors.

The 5 for $15 meal was fantastic for the month of January. The Ribeye was great. The grilled chicken had good flavor & great char grilled flavor. Your drink, mini Italian nachos, salad, pasta, 9 breaded juicy shrimp& bread we're included with your choice of steak or chicken.
However the wait time due to understaffed locations was 45- to an hour. I counted 26 people in the restuarant. I opted to sit at the bar. Every worker seemed to have overlapping duties due to the shortage.
Our bartender was great! The chef delivered most of my food directly. That's how short-staff this location was.
Love this place! Wish the one in Norman was still open but now we come here for our Italian nacho and chicken parm fix. They really need more waitstaff but the person we had was awesome. Food was great, fast and fresh.
Pasta was kinda bland but italian nachos were super. My waiter was very helpful fast and polite
Food was very good. Took a while to get it, but was satisfied overall.
Great food! I recommend the lemon pepper salmon and lasagna. I always feel like I want to lick the plate and kiss the cook. Excellent service, Clay, Billy and Lisa go above and beyond to get you fed, fat and happy. I always leave the restaurant feeling satisfied and planning when I can come back.
I haven't been to Johnny Carinos for at least 10 years. I ordered items I had in the past, my favorite item there was spicy Romana chicken, stuffed mushrooms, and their tiramasu. The 🍄 mushrooms weren't as good as they used to be, but perhaps they are better in person. My brother tried their turtle cheesecake, which he really enjoyed.
Waiter was not very attentive. We had other staff waiting on our table. I complained about not having but three small slices of Chicken for a upgrade, waiter just walked off. I did get a manager, and they made it right.
Exactly what you want from an Italian restaurant. Simple, but incredible food. Fast service. A short wait. Perfectly cooked pasta. Warm, fresh bread. Everything was honestly to the tee. I can't pin point anything bad or something that ticks me off. It was all simply great.
This restaurant is great . We stopped coming to this site and went to Yukon because it was not very good. We decided to give it another try and it's the best location now. The new management is great the food and drinks have never been better. Definitely worth going to this restaurant.
The atmosphere and decor was amazing. The food was good (a little pricey), the service was spot on. This is a great place for date night, but for 2 people expect to spend about $50.00. Again, the quality overall is very good.
Its been a long time since I last have been to a nice Italian restaurant, longer since I've been to one that has a nice, welcoming atmosphere such as Carino's. Seriously, out of all the Italian restaurants I've been to and have enjoyed, this one may be a new personal favorite. Where do I even start?
First and foremost, the staff was very friendly and helpful. From the host to the server, everyone was so nice. That's such a good and nice thing to see as well in the restaurant field. Special shout out goes to Michellle, whom made me feel the most at home. She was extra helpful since she helped decide my dinner, AND it was my first time here so her options panned out rather well.
Then the food. And guys, I will say it again. Best Ive had in many years. Ive never heard of the saying 'Reminds me of home' used properly, but here it does. They start you with a fresh loaf of bread and some seasoned oil to dip. It was nice, and a good start. Then I had the mini of Mozzarella and Marinara and some stuffed Mushrooms. Both went above and beyond what I expected, both in portion and flavor. But by golly, those two appetizers plus the bread almost had me beat. But...I wasn't done yet. Then, I had a staple of the restaurant called the Johnny Combo, which was a chicken parmesan, 16 layer Lasagna, and some spaghetti with their signature marinara sauce all served with a house salad. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it was all in very generous servings, like an Italian restaurant or home would do! I kid you not when I said that I had to take some home with me, that how much I was served. And then there was desert, which I got the Chocolate Cannoli, which a nice way to finish off the dinner. All in all, the dinner was amazing! And best part? It was just under $40 for the spread! And honestly, if you was feeding two or three, the portions would feed all of you!
Okay Cody, I hear you all asking, what's the catch? What's the draw back? And honestly...there is none! I know, unbelievable right? But its true! Every bit of it was just sublime and delicious, by and far the best restaurant I've eaten at. So if your in the mood, or on a date, or just want some good food and good company, come here.
So what are you waiting for? Go eat!
Johnny Carinos has great food! I used to enjoy the nights they had the family size meals at half price. Bring that back! Their pasta is good, the bread and the oil it is served with is the absolute best, and the soups are not too shabby ( potato is my fav). Also they have great happy hour drink specials...Margaritas yummy! There is one manager, I believe Justin, who is really patient and kind. Good customer service.
Our server was Miriam, she was amazing. She was serving 4+ tables and was still extremely attentive and kind. The food was fresh, tasted great. Very satisfied. 10/10.
This place is so good, I'm sad to leave it behind. While it could certainly be compared to Olive Garden I guess, Johnny Carino's is so much better! The atmosphere was cozy. The staff personable (Our server Kira was fantasti). The food felt homemade, rather than the same reheated food. Don't get me wrong, O.G. is good, but I love Johnny Carino's way more. Looking forward to visiting again. Better yet... Can you please bring a Johnny Carino's to Upstate New York?
