Really great Italian food! While it is hard to get reservations here, the food is delicious and the staff and atmosphere are wonderful as well. I got the Penne Sorrento which was very flavorful and paired great with wine. I would definitely recommend trying Johnny's - and I will definitely be coming back!

Johnny's is a favorite of mine! My friends and I love this restaurant due to their friendly staff and delicious food! Their reservations book up quickly, but they also have a nice bar area that you can walk in and try to get a seat at. The food quality is consistent and the wait staff is attentive. My favorite is their Penne Alla Vodka. Their salads are served on chilled plates making them taste extra fresh. I recommend Johnny's to anyone looking for quality Italian food!

This place is very elegant. I love the view from the main hall, you can see most of the Valley from here. I had the house soup and salad, and we had the penne and chicken pasta. They treat you really well here, and they give you all the Italian hospitality. You can possibly want at one time.

Welp, was here a few months aho looking for authentic italian. Im from North East Pa, so I know authentic italian. Hands down worst chicken Parm I've ever had in my entire life. Then add in cold as hell awful ziti and soggy vegetables. Its almost like you never made italian in your life, I get "good italian" on the west coast is hard to find but for gods sake this place is a solid "Never again" for me.

This restaurant offers zero non-alcoholic wine or sparkling wine. We brought a $9. bottle of nonalcoholic Cava to pair with our dinner only to be told "even though we have no offerings for non-drinkers besides Tonic water we're still going to charge you a $20 corkage fee because that's our policy." We asked to speak to a manager. One never arrived at any time during our 3 hour meal with friends. We are lifelong customers here. It's really sad that the management chooses to slap their loyal local customers in the face for $20.

McKenzie is honestly the best. Every single time we come she accommodates us with a smile, and is so generous. We keep coming back because of Mckenzie! She's our favorite!

This is our go to for great Italian food and service is always wonderful. We like to sit in the bar as it's always lively and fun.
You have to make reservations. We have been going to Johnny's for decades! The fine dining is scrumptious and the restaurant is very nice. Lots of memories with this restaurant.

We come here often, so consistent. The best Caesar salad, I've ever had! The Penne Maria is to die for. Fantastic service, sometimes we're very fortunate to have Dave take care of us!

We have been living in Reno for almost a year and happy we found Johnny’s. We had a few great Italian restaurants in Kansas City and Johnny’s topped them all. Great food and service was fantastic. Top notch wine selection and great cocktails. We really liked the old school ambiance of the restaurant. We met some friends for dinner and it felt like a special occasion. We can’t wait to go back.
