" I visited Johnny's Italian Steakhouse in hopes of savoring a wonderful meal, but my experience was somewhat diminished by the food prep. The filet mignon was overcooked, served medium instead of medium rare as ordered. Additionally, my mashed potatoes were bland. On a positive note, the waiter was friendly and replaced my dish after I raised my concerns. I appreciated the professionalism but left feeling underwhelmed by the food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night’s dinner at Johnny’s was memorable! Our reservation was honored promptly and the atmosphere was lovely. I indulged in the lasagna which was rich and comforting. My partner went for the steak which was divine! For dessert, we shared the chocolate mousse cake which was a sweet ending to our meal. I believe the prices are reasonable for the quality. I’d return without hesitation, not just for the food, but for the welcoming staff. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! Repeat customer here—their lobster mac and cheese should come with a warning label; it's addictive! The duo of my wife and I always choose different dishes, so we can enjoy a wider array of flavors. This time I dove into their steak deburgo, and it accompanied my wife's mushroom ravioli perfectly. Everything was seasoned just right! If you want a lovely night out with amazing food, this is your go-to! " (*Curated Review*)

" The service at Johnny's was spectacular, but I found the food to be a mixed bag. While my appetizer of crab cakes was fresh and flavorful, my main dish—the 10 oz filet—was unfortunately cooked incorrectly. I ordered it medium rare, yet it came out rather rare, which is not entirely unacceptable but could have been better monitored. I brought this up to my server, who was accommodating and offered a discount on my bill. It's those little acts of customer service that earn my respect. I might give this place another try, focusing on different menu items next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Oh wow, where do I begin with Johnny’s? The atmosphere is fabulous and perfect for low-key dates or celebration dinners. The food hits every mark as well, with the ribeye being particularly noteworthy! I prefer medium-rare, and they delivered perfectly. Our server was on point with recommendations, especially for dessert. I would highly suggest the lava cake! It was decadent and just the right size. Really, just a great experience overall, I can hardly wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was my first visit to Johnny's and I had an overwhelmingly positive experience. The ahi tuna appetizer was fresh and flavorful, which I enjoyed thoroughly. For my main course, I had the charbroiled ribeye, which was cooked perfectly and seasoned just right—it truly melted in my mouth! The wine selection was impressive; our server helped us choose a lovely bottle. The only downside was the wait time for a table and the noise level once seated, but it was to be expected on a busy weekend evening. With delightful food, I’m eager to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I decided to try Johnny's for a family gathering and was impressed by the service—the staff went out of their way to accommodate our large group. The food was good, though not the best I've ever had. I sampled a bit of the prime rib, which was okay but lacked seasoning. The pasta dishes seemed to garner more praise from my relatives. Overall, while the experience was nice, I feel there are better steakhouses around. Great service can go a long way, but the food wasn't consistent enough to make this a favorite.
