" I've been coming to Johnny's for years and it never disappoints. Their steaks are simply unrivaled—I've tried the majority of the cuts on the menu and can't say I've ever had a bad experience. I often take friends and family here for special occasions because the atmosphere is just perfect. I had the pork chop on my recent visit, and it was as juicy as I remember. Definitely a place worth visiting if you're a steak lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently tried Johnny’s on a Friday night and the bustling atmosphere was invigorating. It had a slight wait but once seated, the staff was quick to take our orders. I went for the Lobster Mac and Cheese, as I’ve heard nothing but amazing things—and it did not disappoint! The creamy richness of the dish was delightful, though I felt it could’ve used a touch more lobster. My partner had the Chicken Prosciutto, which they enjoyed but said it wasn’t as flavorful as they had hoped. Overall, the food was solid, albeit a bit pricey for the portion sizes. Still a very enjoyable experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" After reading a lot of positive reviews, I paid Johnny's a visit last week and it met many of my expectations! The steak I had was rich and juicy with great seasoning. The server was kind and offered recommendations that were spot on. I couldn't resist my urge for dessert, and the cannoli was a treat—bursting with flavor and just the right amount of sweetness. I would definitely be back, although there may be some fine-tuning needed for the overall experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came in for a business meeting and was pleasantly surprised by the setup. We had a private space which felt exclusive. The attentive service was a big plus, and I felt the wait staff were genuinely here to help us have a great experience. The steak was well-prepared but seemed to scale up quickly in pricing, which was concerning. Overall, it was a good choice for business, but I’m not sure it would be my first choice for a casual outing. " (*Curated Review*)

" Johnny's Italian Steakhouse has a solid place in my list of favorite dining spots. Their steaks are known for being top-notch and always cooked according to your preference. The last time I visited, I was fortunate to try the filet mignon, and it was cooked perfectly! We were also treated to an incredible dessert—chocolate lava cake, which was dreamy. The service was knowledgeable and engaging, making the evening that much better. I highly recommend this place to anyone wanting a quality meal in a pleasant atmosphere! " (*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.
