Visited with my mom tonight for dinner. Waited a bit to get asked if want we wanted something for a drink but we got greeted by Sean after a while. He greeted us nicely. I was also impressed when he took our order he doesn't even have it written but memorized in his head and he never made a mistake on our order. He was attentive and making sure we got all we needed. I love Johnny Carinos whenever we wanted some pasta that's the place we always go to. It never fails,...

Sean was our server when my 5 family members and myself came in to eat a late lunch/early dinner. He was amazing and very helpful when it came to explaining the family platter menu to us.
September 2024
The food is good and service is excellent! Sean made sure that we were always well taken care of with our orders and drinks! It's amazing having an attentive staff in this food business.
