" I've been coming here for years, and Johnny Carino's never disappoints! Their pasta dishes are on point and always bursting with flavor. I particularly love the Eggplant Parmesan, which is crispy and delicious. The service staff is always friendly and attentive, making the experience enjoyable every single time. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" The experience wasn’t what I'd hoped for. I had read great things, so I was excited to try the hearty Italian fare. However, the fettuccine Alfredo I ordered was bland and overly creamy. The salad was just okay—greens were wilty, which didn't help my first impression. The server was speedy and friendly, though, which made up for some missteps. I might return to give it another try since I've heard good things about other dishes. " (*Curated Review*)

" Never coming back! When I arrived, they seemed pretty disorganized. After being seated, I waited over 20 minutes just to get water. The food was mediocre at best. My pizza was doughy and tasteless, and I was shocked to see how small the portion size was given the price. The only positive was the cocktail I ordered, which was nice. Overall, not worth the hype. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful place! I stumbled upon it while searching for something local during my travels, and I'm glad I did. The spaghetti bolognese was so rich and comforting. The staff was accommodating and went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. It's a lovely atmosphere for a solitary diner like myself. I'll be back, for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our group had a great time celebrating a birthday here. The food came out promptly, and everyone enjoyed their entrees. The highlight was the dessert platter, which was decadent and well presented. The atmosphere was lively and fun, which made it perfect for our celebration. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an unexpected delight! I visited Johnny Carino's for the first time last week, and I was blown away by the quality of the food. The Chicken Piccata was beautifully cooked and the lemony sauce was simply perfect. The server was very attentive without being intrusive, making sure we had everything we needed. I'll definitely be back to try their famous tiramisu next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was not impressed with Johnny Carino's at all. The garlic knots were burnt, and my meal took longer than expected. The pasta tasted like it came from a box rather than being freshly made. Furthermore, the staff seemed overwhelmed. I won’t be returning anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)
