Service unmatched. From the greeting to the goodbye was just so immaculate. The server Joaquin made us feel so welcomed on Mother’s Day. The manager Roxanne was delightful as well. She gave us samples of your frozen cocktails which was such a nice gesture. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back! Thank you Johnny Carino’s for the great experience.

This place never disappoints. I brought my mother here for Mother's Day. We had the special for 2, which includes a delicious appetizer, endless salad, warm bread loaves served with olive oil and fresh herbs and garlic, 2 hearty sized pasta entrees, and a delicate mouthwatering dessert. Roxanne, the manager came by or table to welcome us and make sure we were enjoying every moment of this dining experience. Our server Paul took great care of us and was very knowledgeable in describing the dishes. My mother loved it. Thank you JC for making her feel so special. I truly appreciate it!

Carino’s is back—and better than ever! They were struggling during COVID with food quality. I’m so glad they’ve returned! The food was absolutely delicious, just like I remembered. I always come back for the Chicken Bowtie Festival—it’s a must-try! The staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. I just wish there were more locations because I’d go all the time. Highly recommend!

I want to give a personal shout out to the staff! They helped us celebrate my mom's 80th Birthday on March 8th last night, and they went above and beyond. I brought in several decorations (including balloons and streamers) with a limited amount of time to decorate before our large party would arrive. Ms. Roxanne and Ms. Liberty graciously volunteered to help me decorate and did an amazing job. Thank you again ladies for all of your help! Mr. Rick took on the monumental task of waiting on our party single handedly. He was gracious, patient, and extremely friendly. After leaving the restaurant, I found out that Mr. Rick had volunteered to come in on his day off to specifically take care of our party after I spoken with him days earlier to confirm the reservation. Thank you again to all of the staff for making last night a beautiful night with family, friends, and DELICIOUS food!

Jacob was an excellent and courageous. He made sure that our drinks were filled and that we were satisfied with our food. He was constantly going by our table asking us if we needed anything else. Thank you so much Jacob for making us feel welcomed. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Made Mother’s Day good son got sick (picked up a virus it hit fast y sudden) . They helped us pack up get him to the potty y get us out the door to get to a hospital, luckily wasn’t something serious just a random tummy bug. The manager was so sweet got us taken care of since son only drank a tea I only had a sip before it happened they said not to worry take care of son. Sweet family oriented restaurant a rarity now of days I highly recommend them. Catering,website with rewards program where coupons to specials come in your email box, dine in or take out. No drive through ,but does have a website to order from with a pickup spots in the parking lot. Has a bar area you can family areas both. Great food highly recommend here. No they do not cook food fast because their cooking it right for better flavors. Italian sodas y flavored teas are great try them too. Come in just to drink eat an appetizer or sit down have a great meal. Not any more expensive than most places now just depends on what you’re buying. Extremely great food we eat there as a family ,but mainly SR takes his business clients there because it is high class food. Definitely recommend to business men needing a classy place (has a bar separate too) Clean if you come during a busy hour like any restaurant they catch up as the crowds die down.
