Great salad, pasta and deserts. Friendly staff. Very affordable and large lunch portions!

1st Visit: The place was very nice, with a soft welcoming tone. The appetizer (Firesticks) were excellent. I feel the marinara had to strong a tomato taste, but the sticks kept your focus with there flavor. The dinner choice was the 16 layer lasagna. As it was good, it lacked a little to make it great. There seemed ti be a dryness through the center area of the layers. Maybe more sauce, creaminess........either way. The dinner was great and will definitely need a return trip to try other menu options. Thanks Johnny Carino's for a great dining experience ?

We have loved this restaurant for many years, the food is always good. Last night we went there for supper and i ordered my favorite dish and I noticed the prices have gone up and portion size has gone down, usually we walked out with a doggy bag but last night we walked out still hungry. If I am going to pay $20 for a dish, I don’t want to walk out still hungry, there were hardly any noodles in my pasta.

Restaurant was extremely dirty and smelled horrible. Three young kids/adult employees were at the host stand cursing and discussing a recent heroin overdose in the JC restroom. Food was great and service was excellent, however the cleanliness of the restaurant took away from that.

I've been there a few times, ordered delivery a few times. Everything has always been fantastic! I wouldn't recommend the spinach artichoke dip though. I got it delivered, which might have affected it, but the dip wasn't very thick and the flavor just wasn't the best.

Johnny Carinos is my go to place for Italian food. The spicey chicken and shrimp always satisfies, and the bellinis are always on point ?. One of my favorite joints.

He kindly explained the demonstration of fresh pasta in front of me.The pasta was chewy and very delicious. However, the amount of pasta and main is small, and it may be weak like cospa ...I added bread, but is it commercially available French bread? It felt like it was served as it was, and it was hard and hard to eat

My family and I dined in on Saturday night at around 8:00pm. When we arrived, the parking lot was packed which we expected given all of the activities going on in town. We assumed there would be a wait and potentially some delays due to the busyness. We got seating and placed our order. The servers were hustling around helping customers (which again, we assumed would happen) however, our waitress never checked in with us after had placed our order. My family each ordered a pasta dish and I ordered a calzone. Our waitress eventually delivered my family members their plates of food but looked at me and said “I’m sorry but we are out of pizza dough. Can I get you something else”. I totally understand that sometimes ingredients and items get 86’d and I appreciated the offer as I was hungry and wanted to obviously eat something but where my frustration came in was that she waited until delivering my entire family’s food orders to let me know I wasn’t going to be eating at the same time as them. I ordered the salmon and she said she would put a rush on it. I sat and waited as patiently as possible- and with the restaurant gradually getting less and less tables- but when I didn’t receive my meal within 20 minutes and still hadn’t seen our waitress again, we asked the manager to bring her over. All she said was “I apologize I had them make it on the fly”. This would have been fine except it had been a very long time since she had taken my order a second time. My food finally arrived and it was delicious. We had absolutely NO issues with the food- it was fantastic- kuddos to the chefs. When it came time for the bill, she said she would talk with her manager to see if there was anything they could do. After all of that hassle, she said there was nothing they could do to help us. We weren’t expecting a free meal but maybe a small discount or a drink taken off of the bill. When we asked why, the waitress said it was because it was her bad. She knew they were out of pizza dough and didn’t know that pizza dough was used to make a calzone and didn’t think about telling me until my entire party was eating their food. We tried to find the manager to ask him ourselves but he was no where to be found. With working in the customer service industry for most of my life, this sounds like the perfect reason for you to do at least something to make up for the mistake. Needless to say, food was great, service was the most disappointing I’ve seen in a very long time. I completely understand mistakes happen as I’ve been there but checking in is 100% necessary no matter how busy you are. I hope that when we decide to come back, we don’t have to worry that when it’s busy, we will be dealing with service like this.
I'm new-ish to the FM area and this is the only restaurant that I have REPEATEDLY gone to thus far. The food is great, prices are reasonable, the free bread at the start of your meal is *chefs kiss* and this most recent time we had a great server, Shelby (not that I've ever had a bad server, Shelby was just exceptional). Would recommend.

Pleasantly surprised at the portions, you definitely get your money's worth! And the margaritas were great! My only complaint is the tiramisu was not very good. I've also never had it before, so it could just be a dessert I wouldn't have been a fan of anyways. Overall, great place. Superior to other Italian food options in town!

The first time that I was here I was blown out of the water by everything. This time, not so much. I do understand that we are in new times and accept that. Unlike Mr. Matt Smith, no one asked me if I had a COVID card. My dining companion had a satisfactory burger and I had a satisfactory chicken and pasta dish. The service was satisfactory. The restaurant was closed on Tuesday and Wednesday when we were in the area. I get it, it's hard to get help. They should be sure that that type of information is easily seen on their web site.

Very disappointed with the customer service. Waited an hour for our appetizer, with the surrounding tables being served appetizers AND their meals before us. Mind you, we were seated before three of those other tables. The waitress was extremely ditzy and the manager was unconcerned. We asked for the check and he couldn’t care less that we were visibly unhappy with this unforgettably horrible experience. Stopped at Olive Garden and got the 5 star Italian meal experience we were looking for. Don’t eat here if you value your time and dignity.If you can’t or don’t want to serve this community, make that clear before seating people. The Tavern said they had a 45 min wait. Knowing that, we chose to go to Johnny Carinos. Poor choice on our end. Won’t happen again. They were quick to give us the check though. Meant they could turn the table for some other unsuspecting customers.

Wait staff was phenomenal. Penne Chicken Gorgonzola sauce was weak and runny. Should be creamy with a medium consistency. Maybe next time I'll stick with the spaghetti and homemade meatballs.
