It was one of the best experiences that my daughter and I have ever had at a restaurant. Hannah, our server, was one of the best servers I have ever had anywhere and the food was delicious!
Excellent waitress handled all 7 of us very well! The food was absolutely perfect! Highly recommend!
It's okay. Have had the spicy chicken pasta, that was good. Last time I went I had the Chicken stuffed ravioli. The chicken inside was not good. It looked and tasted like blended canned chicken.
My favorite Italian food!. I love johnny carinos the bread is always hot and soft, the salad is so fresh and i always order the chicken balsamico its no longer on the menu but they still always make it for me! i always enjoy coming here.
Consistently Good Italian Food. The family ate dinner here this evening; it's one of Erins favorites. We had a number of things: Raegan and I had chicken marsala, Ian had chicken parm, and Erin had fettuccine alfredo. Ian in particular was happy that he was able to get the correct meal; he likes to have fettuccine as his pasta instead of spaghetti. I thought the marsala was a little bland this time.
Carino's does a pretty good job, if a little expensive. Our check was around $68. The tea was very good and the service was very attentive and friendly. We will keep going back, just not often.
Great food. Nice atmosphere.
I hope this isn't a permanent closure!
I've gone here for years. Great pizza. I can't imagine this place closing.

Good food.
Decently priced for a sit down restaurant.
Generally good service. A bit noisy at times, but fine.
Their pizza is delicious.
Enjoyed a family dinner. I went with my family and we enjoyed a pleasant meal, I loved my pepperoni macaroni that I ordered with a side order of soup. I will warn that if your child doesn't really like sourdough style bread to not order the pizza, because that was the only item we got that wasn't the best. Server was excellent and on point at every minute we were dinning.
Yummy! Prefer it over Olive Garden.. It's not authentic Italian, but the fare is certainly delightful. I've never had a dish there I haven't loved and leftovers never go to waste because they reheat pretty well. They make your food to order, meaning if you don't like something in the dish, they can change it for you easily. Family sized platters can feed about 4 people with modest appetites, which is a steal for around $25. A regular entree can easily be split between two people. They have these wonderful mini sized desserts for $2 too! I'm a big fan of the Italian Chocolate Cake. The host staff is okay at best, but the waitstaff and management are usually pretty stellar! Managers can usually be seen making sweeps through the dining room during busy hours, filling glasses, chatting with customers, running food, etc. I love it when they don't hide in the back!
One of the best Italian joints in OKC. The eggs Benedict is incredible. Service can be spotty but the atmosphere and food are spot on.
Good but not. Good food, but the wait staff is awful. been there like 6 times and the service is always terrible!
Italian nachos. It's my fave thing there
I've had good, I've had bad. I really like the good!. I love Carino's lasagna. I'm not a huge lasagna fan but theirs is quite good. I love, love the fried garlic with olive oil and "balsamic" vinegar to dip the nice, crusty(ish) bread into. Bread isn't as nice as true Italian loaves and the balsamic isn't the real stuff. But then, where you gonna find either in OKC? Not at any restaurant.
Anyway, they have a wine list. It might be good but I never order wine at a restaurant, so someone else will have to comment. Last time I was there they had Sam Adams on tap, so I was happy.
The bad? Well, spaghetti is just filler, the pot roast kinda dinner was chewy I'd call it. Coulda been an off night for it. Service is up and down, typical of any chain restaurant. That's about it. Most everything else is good.
Great specials tonight. Fresh bread, Italian nachos, salad, ribeye steak, and lasagna for 15.99. The meal was really good. I took some pics. Service was outstanding.
First time ever at a Johnny Carino’s. Food was delicious. And the manager on Friday night was awesome. I only saw one server and bartender. Both were doing amazing taking care of the guest. My guess, slightly understaffed. We will be back.
Always enjoy dining here. All the food has a good flavor with a country home feel. First time trying their Italian nacho they were fantastic with perfectly crisp chips, and they did not lack on the sauce over the top of them either like most places. Bow tie festival large portion with the creamy bacon flavor always a top pick for me here. Try their timballo skillet, which is awesome as well.
Johnny Carino's had an amazing special that included...RIBEYE STEAK! The steak was so tender, that I could cut it with a butter knife. The steak had a garlic butter on top that further enhanced the deliciousness of the meat. Because I signed up for the email club, I received a welcome gift which was a single topping pizza. WIN! Everything was delightful. The managers and servers were incredibly friendly and the food was tasty. I'll be back!
The lobby was clean as were the restrooms. The host staff was warm and friendly! Called ahead to let them know a 11 person table was on the way.
The cost was reasonable and the food was piping hot. I had salad and soup combo the potato soup and Caesar salad was definitely delicious - it hit the spot....Its in a pretty good location and I will return when in the need of hunger. Thank you team & Jazz for being patient as our family of 11 ordered from the menu and took our time before deciding and for getting the kids plate out first.. the bread and olive oil- so TASTY!!!
The appetizer of fire sticks and cheese sticks went over well!
Everyone else complimented the food choices they made!
I talked with the manager after the meal and shared positive comments about our server. She did amazing!
Team should be commended!

Great atmosphere . Friendly and helpful staff . Food was excellent great quality and quantity . Below is the chicken bowtie pasta meal and the spaghetti feast .
The mozzarella sticks were pretty awesome. Our waitress was super amazing and friendly! All the employees were great and I'm sure the food was presented to the corporate standards I just think the chicken Parm recipe and sauce is pretty close to TV dinner status. The fettuccine Alfredo was really good, it had a nice thick and creamy consistency and enjoyed it more than my own meal. Lol
We came here to celebrate someone's birthday, the waiter was rude so I called and spoke to manager regarding our experience because we left and ate at another restaurant. The manager listened to my complaint and apologized and provided meal coupons for us, we returned and they redeemed themselves. The waiter was very courteous and prompt when we ordered our food and when we requested anything. We had a great experience, the food was delicious, had lasagna. Rib eye steak was tender and the Italian nachos was delicious, they provided grilled chicken and sausage for the nachos . We will definitely be coming back !
Great Service. Expensive menu but had affordable specials. Steak was a little overcooked but still tender and juicy.
Johnny Carino’s is my favorite Italian spot! The Spicy Shrimp and Chicken is my go-to entree, and the salad and bread is always super fresh! It seems that management here has struggled to keep staff, so seating and service can sometimes be a bit slow (we’ve been waited on by the chefs on more than one occasion when understaffed). However, the staff has always been friendly, and I highly recommend stopping here for a meal!
