★★★★☆ 4.0 Nicodidi · Dec 2025

The food was delicious, I had the Alfredo with chicken (The picture is my nieces kid pasta) Though the service was not the best. We got here at 1 pm and were seated 20 minutes later even though it was empty. We finally finished around 3: 40 pm. The host was awesome and kind to us though

Very interesting visit to Johnny Carino’s, staff was good but they were very overwhelmed at one point our single server had what looked like six tables. They’ve got a new apple bees mixed with olive garden menu at least new since I last was here. The food was average but overpriced for what we got, my barbecue burger came out plane and no barbecue with side of fries that looked sad the taste reminded me of a frozen store burger. We also got the Italian nachos those were surprisingly nice. My fiancée got a pasta dish that was a very small portion for the price. It’s sad Johnny Carino’s used to be a nice Italian restaurant now it’s dated and struggling to focus on an area to do well in. Overall, the only thing that stands out was cheap ai generated looking art on a table piece and how rude

Second visit and the last. There was only two other patrons there when we arrived, the entire seating area was empty and we were seated at the same crappy table we were seated first time, which was at the end of the bar looking at cluttered cleaning supplies, boxes and other items that one should have to be near trying to have a nice dining experience. The bartender was our server, took forever to get our drinks and when it was time for a refill, she passed our table 4 times and when I finally recieved my drink, it was wrong. Never again! I won't be ging it a third chance

We had our hearts set on going to a different Italian restaurant but we couldn’t get a parking place. We decided to go to Johnny Carino’s at Hamburg. I thought it strange that the parking lot was almost empty especially for a Saturday. Usually if you don’t see a crowd on a Saturday evening it means something is wrong with either the food, the service or the atmosphere. Or maybe someone gave them a bad review and they hadn’t recovered. This was my experience on Saturday June 28. Obviously we got a seat right away. The waitress come to our table immediately. We ordered drinks and the Fried Ravioli. We got our drinks and we he appetizer quick. It was very good. For our entree I ordered the Fettuccine with chicken and my wife had the Baked Cheese Tortellini. The waitress was effici

This place was just alright. A little below average for what we were looking for. The food was on the same level as a middle tier Italian restaurant. I had my expectations set high and was slightly disappointed….
