Johnny Carino's

Johnny Carino's served excellent Italian meals a few decades back. You didn't appear to be able to go wrong with anything you choose from their menu. After you've eaten your main course, Johnny Carino's desserts will put a smile on your face even wider.

Unfortunately, things have changed at this Italian franchise restaurant. Johnny Carino's has struggled financially in recent years, and the chain has shrunk from more than 170 sites to around 40. The quality of their cuisine has deteriorated dramatically over the last 20 years or so. Johnny Carino's is the place to go to if you want awful cuisine at exorbitant prices. Even apparently safe options like pizza, tortelloni, and lasagna will leave you feeling completely unsatisfied. Desserts, particularly their watery tiramisu, will just add to the melancholy.

Even if you used to adore Johnny Carino's, stay away from this location at all costs. It's not even close to being as tasty as you recall.
