" While I was excited to try Johnny Carino's, I left feeling kind of mixed about it. I've heard a lot of good things, but the meal we had was only average. The chicken parmesan was decent, yet lacked the warm, comforting flavors I expected. The bread was a highlight, and the atmosphere was pleasant as well. I'd like to think that maybe I just ordered the wrong dishes. I plan to return and give it another shot, as the service was friendly and attentive. " (*Curated Review*)

" Upon arriving at Johnny Carino's, I was impressed by the pleasant decor and atmosphere. The table staff was welcoming, and our server was attentive. I ordered the Chicken Bowtie, which was flavorful but could have used a bit more spice. The portion size was decent, though I expected a little more for the price. Overall, it was a good dining experience, but I think next time I'll try something else off the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" I expected more from Johnny Carino's. Although the atmosphere was cozy, the food was lackluster. The chicken parmesan I had was average at best, and my friend's ravioli didn’t impress either. Our server was attentive, which made the experience a bit better. Overall, I might not return unless I hear about improvements. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our visit to Johnny Carino's was very enjoyable! The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, excellent service, and the food was delicious. I had the chicken bow ties, and it was perfectly cooked—somewhat spicy, just as I like it. The price was very reasonable considering the size of the portions. I’ll be coming back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went to Johnny Carino's last week, and it was simply a roller coaster of emotions. The waitress was friendly and helpful but seemed overwhelmed. The food, while good, wasn't great. My lobster ravioli, which cost a bit more, came with only a few pieces and was lacking in filling. The dessert – tiramisu – was quite tasty, though! Overall, it was a decent experience, but I wish the meal had matched the excitement of our evening out. Still, I'd likely come back to give it another try. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I were excited to try Johnny Carino’s after hearing about it, but we left somewhat disappointed. The environment was lively, but the food didn’t live up to the hype. My pasta was overcooked and the flavors were not very memorable. Service was decent, but it all felt rushed. We might consider going back, but it’s not a top choice for us going forward. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fantastic dining experience! Johnny Carino's exceeded my expectations with both their food and service. The rigatoni festival was rich in flavor, and my partner enjoyed the spicy chicken. We were well taken care of by the staff, who made it a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The desserts were equally impressive! I would highly recommend dining here if you’re looking for Italian in the area! " (*Curated Review*)
