    Baked Cheese Tortelloni

    Arrived shortly after 4:00 pm today. Not crowded only 3 tables (including ours) had customers. Ordered baked tortellini supposed to be served with meat sauce. The sauce looked like thousand island dressing without meat. Once our food was served our server walked by our table 4 times and not once did he stop to ask how we were doing or how was our food. Our server finally came by asked how everything was and when questioned about the sauce for the tortellini, he said they get the regular meat sauce and mix it with Alfredo sauce. In my opinion, not a good idea. Since I returned the back tortellini dish, our server gave us credit for that dish.

    This was one of the worst restaurants I've ever eaten at in my whole life. The service is absolutely terrible. We were served with PLASTIC CUTLERY AND USE AND THROW PLATES. There was hair in our STYROFOAM CUPS and there was zero ice to be found anywhere. A few other tables got actual bowls for bread but instead we waited 20 minutes, finished our food then FINALLY they gave us bread on a plastic use and throw plate. The restrooms oh lord are disgusting THERE IS SHIT ON THE TOILET SEAT. Like who even manages this place to make it this bad. The food has no flavoring, and the chicken tastes like it was from a can. The meatballs were mediocre and dry, and the whole restaurant is disorganized.

    Thin Crust Pepperoni Pizza

    I love Johnny Carino's...especially when using the app and signing up for texts. They offered a free thin crust pepperoni pizza. They sent me this text: "WELCOME TO OUR FAMILY Thank you for signing up for the Johnny Carino's email club. You will receive special savings, offers and be the first to find out about what is new at Johnny Carino's! Enjoy the offer below as our way of saying thank you for joining!" I went there after a 13-mile run and was very hungry. I showed the offer, and they went to prepare the pizza. Within 12 minutes, it was ready and looked delicious! The ambiance in the restaurant is nice, but I took the pizza home and devoured it! The toppings were delicious, and the crust was nice and crispy. I encourage everyone to join the app texting and receive special offers!

    I was still looking for it to this restaurant. Ours closed down probably 12 years ago. I didn't know that they were still around. We ordered the skillet with sausage turns out there was more grease and there was sauce not impressed. I JUST CAN'T

    Cheese ravioli, add mushrooms and tomato
    Christina R.

    This was our first visit to Johnny Carino's. We arrived around 8PM on a Friday night and were seated immediately. Our server (Hayden) brought us super hot fresh (as all bread should be haha) bread while we waited. The moment we finished it he brought out more which I thought was really impressive. We were getting full on salad and bread before our entrees even could arrive I really wanted a mushroom ravioli but couldn't figure out what I was craving. I ultimately made a custom cheese ravioli which our server was happy to do and it turned out amazing. See photos of my cheese ravioli, add mushrooms and tomato I wish the mushrooms were whole/bigger pieces instead of tiny pieces but it was so savory and awesome anyway. It was served with a layer of cheese on top that was browned and crispy like on a pizza, the kind of gooey cheesy that makes your mouth water. They should totally add a vegetable ravioli dish like this the menu. While they do have vegetarian options, I felt like this restaurant was not super vegetarian-friendly/forward (Italian diet/cuisine really doesn't contain all whole lot of meat) but that is the case with most restaurants in the US. Adding a vegetable/vegetarian section would do a lot for the menu/restaurant and reach more customers. That said, they still have options. My partner had the lobster ravioli which was decadent. I also tried her house salad and the ranch was excellent, creamy without overdoing it (I am super picky about ranch). The ranch was so good I overall preferred the house over the caesar salad. We ordered a Bellini (it's frozen, not what I was expecting for a Bellini) and the Amalfi strawberry lemon, would definitely order the lemonade again, very refreshing. Overall a lovely experience. We'll be back!!!

We waited maybe 20 minutes to order then another 45 minutes for food, which wasn't that bad for a busy Friday night. We were crowded outside, and we didn't really have enough table or chair space. That's to be expected when we descended upon the restaurant with such a large group. For six people, we ordered three pizzas to share. We definitely could have shared with more people because we had some pizza left over. We got The Works, Shroomin' Goat, and Texas Chicken Ranch pizzas. The Texas Chicken Ranch was by far our favourite. It was really good, while the other two were alright. The crust was weirdly bubbly and amorphous looking. There was a lot of crust. The Works was okay. The sauce and meat weren't particularly tasty. The Shroomin' Goat was a vegetarian pizza with a lot of arugula, which is not my type of pizza, but our vegetarian friend said it was okay. Great vibes at Pinthouse overall though, and I have enjoyed their other pizzas in the past.

    I've shared my praise of Allday Pizza in Hyde Park many, many times on Yelp and just around town to…read morepeople talking about how truly incredible their pizza is. There is nothing more delectable than their unique and unbelievable slices of pizza. On top of that, their Caesar salad, and everything else in between is incredible as well. The only "issue" with Allday in Hyde Park is that you are always waiting in line. Their location in Hyde Park is their second location and is their most popular by far. Though the wait in line at any hour is worth it. Sometimes you just don't want to make that commitment. That's where their location in Terrytown shows up as the true superstar. Located right off of Lake Austin, the Allday Pizza is attached to Flo's Wine Bar and Bottle Shop as a walk up window. There isn't a lot of parking at Flo's, but plenty of free street parking right next to Allday on Pecos Street. What is crazy is that when we walked in at 12:15 PM on Sunday, might I add, there was no line to order. Plenty of people going to town on their pizza, but no line to order. This was incredible. In Hyde Park, a 12:15 PM arrival would mean a 1:30 PM meal. Not here! The outdoor space is shaded and well covered which was great for a rainy day like today was. You can also sit inside Flo's with your pizza and enjoy some wine alongside it. You can do no wrong here! Another reason I wanted to go to the Terrytown location was because unlike Hyde Park, they serve by the slice cuts of the Cacio E Pepe that I've been dying to try. After our order, we grabbed some plates, cups of water and napkins, and our food was ready in mere seconds. I had a slice of the Stracciatella, the Pep & Pepp, and of course, the Cacio E Pepe. The Stracciatella is creamy and delightful and the Pep & Pepp has a minor kick but really balances against the Stracciatella. The Cacio E Pepe was fantastic. No tomato sauce, but the peppery flavor (that you would expect in a cheese and pepper pizza) was outstanding. It tasted like a well done sauce on crust. My girlfriend got a Tomato Tomatoe that I tried a bite of and was impressed. The lemon pepper panko is just like the one included in the MVP Caesar Salad and it really did a lot of heavy lifting in the slice because it is simply so incredible. The salad which I got a bite of is delectable. How do the greens taste so fresh? Why is the dressing so delightful? It's still the best Caesar I've ever had. Because there was no line, we indulged a bit and got a Dirt Cup to share for dessert. It consisted of their Dark Chocolate Soft Serve, chocolate sauce, an Oreo crumble made in-house, and gummy worms. The soft serve gelato is nuts. I haven't had it at the Hyde location and this was my first impression. What a star on its own. I have not had a single bad menu item at Allday. You can't go wrong. Hyde Park's location might feel a little more sophisticated with its beautiful architecture, full bar with wines, cocktails, and beers on draft, and a little bit more expansive of a menu, but the Terrytown location feels a little more peaceful. It is in a beautiful area of Austin and the ability to arrive and be done with a meal in about 45 minutes is magical. I think Allday in Terrytown might take over the Hyde Park location as my favorite restaurant in Austin, but it's a close race like debating if Wemby or SGA deserves the MVP more. Both are ceiling raisers and the best food you can have in Austin. RIYL: The best food you can have in Austin with little to no wait.

We didn't try too much because we were actually surprised it was open. Many friends mentioned the desserts were to die for. Even Guy on DDD mentioned the caramel rolls were what cinnamon rolls wish they could be. He also LOVED the pastrami sandwiches. So I'd i could do a 1-10 scale I'd give it a 9 for the extra work we had to put in to align with their limited open hours and for the soggy crust. But highest marks on the rest. They also have a room you can rent out in the back or the restaurant and good parking. Next time you want pie- Give pieous a try
