    Lemon Rosemary Chicken
    Kaylin Y.

    Wow, what an incredible experience. If there's one thing this place is going to do, it's give you HOT food. Pasta cools down so fast, so they must have keeping it hot down to a science. There was nothing on our table that disappointed us, it was all incredible. I had the lemon rosemary chicken over angel hair. The presentation was *chefs kiss* and the taste was even better. I had to finish my meal with a cannoli and cappuccino. I got caramel and it was so rich and wonderful. The place itself was very clean and our service was top tier!

    So sad to write this but this was our second time here in PF. Our first time was so great! But that was back in 2018. We started off with the Pasta nachos. Very greasy, toppings were very sparse. We asked our waiter for more of the Alfredo cheese sauce to cover the plain pasta chips and also who didn't wait on us for about 10 minutes. Another table sat after us had an awesome waiter & had drinks in 5 minutes or less. We never got the cheese sauce. We eventually ordered our entrees. I got the Johnnys famous lasagna and my boyfriend got the spicy chicken pasta. Our waiter did bring us one refill with boxes and a bag... Anyway the ambience was screaming babies in a half empty restaurant. I don't know if we'll return because we both got sick. My boyfriend puked in their restroom, our hotel room and my stomach was so upset for a couple of hours. It might have been conscientious though.

    Really intense. Most, if not all the employees seemed morbidly indifferent. The music was all the depressing songs from Grey's anatomy that play when a main character dies. Had to be greeted at the bar by a manager because the servers couldn't be bothered. It genuinely felt like sitting in an interogation room at a prisinct and all I came in to do was place a pick up order. The food was a hit at the party I took it too but it was as if I got it from a restaurant ran by ghosts who were hoping I, or any other guest, would never return. Even their waiting music when I called over the phone was brutally eerie and the people in the black and white photos on the wall appeared as if, at any moment, they'd step out of the frame and drag me back with them. Ripley's haunted adventure could take some tips from this Italian morgue disguised as a restaurant.

    If you are in the mood for Italian food this is always a good choice, the food is good, the service is awesome and the prices are fair for sure. I ordered the Timballo this time not being sure what it was and was happy with my choice. One warning, the Timballo is enough for two and easy to share.

    It had been a while since I've been to a Johnny Carino's, and this was exactly as I remembered it. It's not fine, dining, but it's reliable Hardy Italian food, and hits right where you need it most. The ambience is very nice, the restaurant is clean and well lit, our server was very nice and we were sat and greeted instantly. We started out with a white wine which paired very nice with my chicken Parmesan. My friends also really loved their dish of lasagna and seafood pasta. We shared a chocolate cake with ice cream at the end that was delicious. Thank you!

    Our service and food were fantastic! We came for a late lunch slash early dinner and were not disappointed. The food and beverages were better than most Italian chains. We ordered an Italian soda, Sprite, Italian nachos, house salads, eggplant parmesan, and ravioli. The salads, appetizer, and entrees were appropriately paced and served neatly on the plates. The food was served hot, tasted fresh, was a large portion, and was a great value overall. The service from Ahmad was spectacular. He was attentive, friendly, professional, nicely groomed, and in a great mood. He even offered to-go cups for our sodas. Extra touches like that are always well noted and appreciated!

    Food tasted great, good service. Table bread was warm and a nice touch with EVOO and spices to keep us happy until food arrived. Only thing i could complain about is price but that's a complaint for everything these days. Food came out fast and even had leftovers for most peoples meal capacity. I killed the Marsala but im a bug guy.

    So what a surprise to see a Johnny Carinos. I will admit, we specifically stopped because of the name but most importantly for the Italian Nacho! I will say they did not disappoint. Light chips ( maybe wonton wrappers?) White cheezy sauce, chicken, sausage etc. This is an old time favorite to us and we were excited to stop in. Love the warm bread served with an Italian spice blend/ roasted garlic for dipping. I cannot comment on the entrees on this trip as we just had nachos, but at past and other locations they did not disappoint

    Great service, good food & wonderful company. What can you ask for more? It was quite busy, I recommend calling ahead even if there's not many vehicles on the road. Luckily for two people, it wasn't too long. Enjoyed and will be back for more.

    We stopped in here on our recent trip to the area as it has an outdoor dog friendly patio option…read moreand we were traveling with our Frenchie. It took a bit for our server to come acknowledge us but once he did, he was very helpful and attentive. My boyfriend ordered a peach Kentucky mule (they originally said they couldn't make that, which we questioned with it being a distillery, but our server came back and said they could after all). He enjoyed it and said it's one of the better ones he's had! We both ordered smash burgers and sweet potato fries - I had the junction 35 (pimento cheese + bacon jam) and he had the farmhouse (bacon + fried egg). Both were amazing! Juicy burgers, perfect size patties for smash burgers, the buns were fresh and held up nicely, and the toppings were great. Sweet potato fries had a great crunch and were seasoned really well. Service was great, food was high quality and had great flavor, and the dog friendly patio was perfect for our pup. It's located in a nice little strip of shops and restaurants, and has a common area of cornhole and other games that would be fun for an activity before/after dinner, or if you have kids in tow. We'd definitely make another trip here when in the area.

    No wait. Service was quick. Food was good. Server was wonderful…read more Parking lot is tight and small. We had to circle a few times to get a spot. I got a side salad with tots and cheese. The bigger salads were monstrous but delicious.
