I am Italian and very picky about where I eat especially when it comes to Italian food I make my own sauce so I find others sauce to be flavorless when I go out but not Jonny’s !! From the start we had a reservation we were seated immediately. Great seating, great service and the food was absolutely amazing!! The meatballs had so much flavor and the size I couldn’t believe they pulled it off !! Absolutely beautiful place to bring your family or a date excellent experience will definitely be going back !!

Great atmosphere, staff, as well as their suggestions, & better food. Got here at opening time & had the restaurant to ourselves for the first 30 minutes. Was meant to eat elsewhere & was glad that I hadn’t. The Ravioli Montecasino & Arancini were showstoppers, everyone at the table tried & asked for a second bite.

Everything was absolutely delicious from the start of the meal with the bread through the end of the meal with coffee and dessert. We will be coming back often and will definitely be recommending to friends when in town! The server was knowledgeable and his service was seamless. Great food, great service.

Delicious at every turn! We've had wedding rehearsals, birthdays and work events at Johnny's and they never disappoint. While a bit pricy, the quality of the food more than makes up for it. Their seafood always tastes fresh, their eggplant is delicious, they offer great dessert options and they always have a good variety of cocktails. They get very busy, so come early, make a reservation or be prepared to wait.

Food was excellent. Service, not so much. Prior to making a reservation the manager was spoken with to see if they could accommodate our party of 20+. Originally we were told no, then they said yes. It was also agreed that bills could be split by person or couple. Then we get there and it’s a disaster. We have one waitress for 23 people. She is taking drinks orders but the drinks aren’t coming or they are incorrect. 45 min wait for a drink at times. More than an hour for entrees to come out. Waitstaff doesn’t know which entree is which, two never came out at all so we had to wait for those again. Fast forward to the check. We get the bills, split by table. They are all wrong. They are sent back, twice, and still are incorrect. We went table by table with the staff to go over who had what and they couldn’t get it right. When told maybe they should keep track separately ALEXIS Informed me they don’t split bills there and it was a favor to us. She also had the audacity to then inform me that we weren’t being kind after now waiting over an hour for the bills to be figured out. Her attitude was downright rude and unnecessary. I did inform her that the manager had been spoken to three weeks ahead of this event and ensured this would not be an issue. We ended up paying the bills that were incorrect and leaving. Johnnys will never receive another dollar from any of us, as the staff are rude, the service slow and no one there could seem to figure out how to manage a bill. If you can’t accommodate a big party, don’t offer it as a service.

Went out for mine and my hubbys bdays. It was our first time and we heard amazing things. For an appetizer we got the bruchesetta which was 10/10 best ive ever had. My hubby got the chicken Parmigiano which he said was pretty good. I had the chicken malenese a little disappointed with mine, it was dry wish there was more sauce and potatoes were overcooked. We also got the NY cheesecake ans carrot cake those were delicious hence no picture, service was 👍. I would try again though.

Service was perfect; pleasant and attentive. Food was excellent, especially the arancini appetizer and eggplant entree. Entrees were more than adequate in amount and we all took portions home. Johnny's deserts are always luscious. Their carrot cake is a delicious artwork!

The food here was stellar! You can really tell they take the time to carefully craft their sauces, and the flavors were really on point! I had the bolognese, which was spectacular. If I am ever back in Schenectady and in the mood for Italian fare, I would not hesitate to return.
