We stopped by because we were nearby and we missed going because they have all closed down near where we live. Food was decent but service was not great. The host/server that sat us seemed super annoyed and said something like “does that one girl have tables available?” You don’t know your co-workers name? Don’t waste your money on drinks. I ordered the 2 for $10 drink special. I’m a lightweight and should’ve been feeling wobbly after one drink. I was not feeling anything after both drinks. Plus we were not given the drink special. We didn’t bother saying anything but also servers should know what specials they offer. Our server was pretty good but not very friendly. I would go back for the food for sure but not the ambiance.

Had wings and a couple of drinks ☺️❤️amazing service and amazing food even though they were short staffed

Lunch was delicious. Ordered the 5 meat Tuscany Pasta for the first time. Lots of flavor. Almost taste like a pizza pasta. We came around lunch time during the weekday. Waitress was extremely skillful and talented as a waiter. They looked a little short staffed, but food came out hot and fresh.

Horrible Horrible Horrible!!! All started with getting seated. Took a while to even get bread brought to our table. No utensils til we asked for them...no napkins. Salad was ordered at time of us placing order. It didn't come til the food came to our table. Bread that used to be good and soft...was hard. Sorry guys. We will never be back! Too much has changed in your restaurant and not for the better.

It was nice seeing Jen, heading the kitchen staff. Where I moved to, there isn't a Johnny Carinos. Missed the food.

I still don’t get it why this restaurant has a bad review. These are the highlight dishes I got from yesterday. The baked stuffed mushroom hits right on spot. The sauce, the mushrooms, the stuffed, they are all so good together. The main dishes I got the fettuccine, it was good but nothing special. My friend got the SIZZLING SKILLETINI® CACCIATORE and it was bomb! Everything in the dish was really detailed, and all of the ingredients in it just make the plate a perfect dish! Will come back to try more for sure!!! ?

Just a girls day with my daughters. We had a great day and ended it with awesome food. We loved that the wait time for a table was less than 10 minutes. Our order was taken quickly and served out just as quick. We all has something different and we're equally satisfied with our food. Unable to finish because of the quantity but we love awesome leftovers. ?

Went in at 4:30 expecting in laws at 5. Order 2 margaritas at 4:40. At 5 my relatives showed up still no margaritas. I told girl to cancel them. My relatives placed their order, we ordered 2 ceaser salads. They get their salads first, they get done with their salads and we get ours. I had bad experience at carrinos in doral Florida, figured this would be better and I was sadly mistaken. Should be the last carrinos for me. I can make a better salad at home with fresh lettuce not all yellow old lettuce. Service was slow and it was not at peak hour.?And as for response to manager, i have nothing else to say!

Food was so good and our waiter was so pleasant

Definitely not a dine in restaurant… only 4 tables for service.. All the other tables not occupied but wait is 30 minutes…
