Amazing all around from food, service and the atmosphere! Great people and worth it! We had chicken & ribs combo! Baked beans off the charts, coleslaw very fresh and cornbread like granny. Thanks Jenna read more

Johnny Carino's - All gone - Italian Near Me - Victorville, California

Wow. This place has taken a huge drop in quality since the last time I was here. I don't completely get the idea of the restaurant being split down the middle, but aside from the hostess being confused on where we needed to sit, it didn't impact our experience. We were seated quick, received bread and drinks, and then we waited. After about 10 mins we were able to place our food order, thankfully we ordered an appetizer too because otherwise we'd likely have starved. First we ran out of bread and oil and waited... and waited... the waitress would appear to apologize and tell us she'd check on our food, but she'd walk away before we could ask for refills or more bread. This continued for exactly 1 hour and 20 mins. Finally I had one refill on my drink and we were given more bread. One loaf was soft and warm and the other was cold and rock hard. Another 10 mins later and ONE plate came. I imagined that they likely only had one chef who could make just one plate at a time... because we received our food one plate at a time over a 20 min period. There was no explanation, just multiple apologies and promises to check on our food. It truly didn't make sense because there were only 2-3 other tables on a weekday. The silverware was mostly dirty, there were flies and little bugs hovering around our table, and the nearly 2 hour wait was ridiculous. The food was decent, that's the only positive to our night. read more

Before I go on you need to know about the manager named Denise. Very rude and won't let you bring in a birthday cake because it's "outside food items." We arrived and the rude manager yelled at us from across the room about the birthday cake we were carrying. I couldn't talk to her about it because she was far away and then disappeared. We waited 15 minutes for an empty table that we saw open immediately upon arrival. Then we waited another 15 minutes to even talk to a server. Our server came and saved the day. She was the nicest most understanding and efficient server I've seen in a long time. She was Johnny on the spot from start to finish. I did end up talking to the general manager who was understanding, reasonable, and accommodating to say the very least. He turned my feeling around about this place. The food was great, the decor was as can be expected from a Johnny casinos. The are doing major reconstruction but that never became an issue after 6pm. read more

Johnny Carino's - Chicken combo has chicken scaloppini, lasagna and spaghetti w lemon butter cream sauce 28.99 - Italian Near Me - Victorville, California

Upon receiving a coupon, I visited this Eastvale and Victorville restaurant with my sister, driven by curiosity. Our order consisted of their special and pizza, neither of which impressed us. Regrettably, it was the worst Italian food I've ever had. The owner may find it enlightening to visit Italy or a local Italian restaurant for comparison. read more

We had a university event for a small group of nursing students. Nor from the High Desert I was struggling to figure out what I could do to cater this event. This place came up in my search. It was super easy to place an order and to make any changes before the event. They provided everything!!! Ice for the drinks, utensils, paper plates, napkins and well sealed food. It was delicious and the students were super happy. They even packed everything in my car! They made the process so simple and I truly appreciate them all. Thank you so much Johnny Carino's! read more

I like the lasagna here, I can say I like the ambience at the Palmdale location a little more and their flavored beer selection. I went to this location specifically for my birthday, lol they did not care, had to ask for a piece of cake but we left because it never came, but I can say that the lasagna was on point as always and honestly the customer service was amazing as well... read more

Salad was fresh and cold. Waitress was the female bartender and she was busy but so sweet bless her heart. However the lasagna needed desperate help especially the marinara sauce. Alfredo was dry. Best part of our night was the sweet waitress not her fault for the kitchens mistakes. read more

Probably the worst food I've eaten in the high desert. Everything was unbelievably bland. The "grilled" chicken that was on top of my daughter's pasta looked like it was boiled, sliced, then stepped on before just throwing it on a plate. The meatball sub was laughable. It almost tricks you into thinking there was four there but it was just two sliced in half lol and super dry. The cheese pizza was just melted cheese on a cracker. It was all bad. The only redeemable quality of the restaurant was the attentive server. read more

Reviews might seem lackluster but we went on a Saturday evening (which should be packed!) and got the best attention and service from our bartender, Angie. The calamari was the perfect size, plenty of actual good sports events were on, and both of our pasta meals were excellent. Angie is a gem and we were grateful to have her! One of the most personable bartenders I've encountered. read more

The service is horrible here. Food is great but the poor service makes you not want to go back. They act like they're doing you a favor by serving you. Management is at fault as we've dealt with them directly and they are rude. An ad went out for the wrong price so we showed the ad and said the price they were charging us was incorrect. They said that the ad went out in error and they would honor it THIS time but "just so you know, in the future, the price will be the higher price". I get that mistakes happen but the way the message was delivered was rude. read more

The food was pitiful. Super small and cheaply man food. It was a business meeting and I was embarrassing. Lady refused to allow us to use the WiFi. The place is under construction so it looked very ghetto inside. read more

Food was average at best, service was slow and quite inefficient. Asked for water 3 separate times, and waitress forgot. Asked to purchase take homes, and waitress forgot. Asked for 2nds on the bread, and it never came. Restaurant was less than 30% full. Plenty of staff around. Bad Management or bad waitress? ... Ambiance was mediocre. read more

The food is good. The restaurant is clean and the service staff are attentive. We come here for many of our family celebrations.

Johnny Carino's - This was supposed to be sliced Ribeye Steak*. Looks more like mystery meat! Was impossible to chew. - Italian Near Me - Victorville, California

Poor service. Server asked us to cash out or transfer check before first bite . We did so and we were only checked on once by her before she left . dishes on the end of the table for 25 minutes six servers on the floor all standing around talking. No offer for second beverage or dessert. Female servers look sloppy with long hair down is a turn off !! Seemed like an area director was here doing business. I wish I would have caught him before he left . The bartender that our server transferred our check to stood behind the bar for 40 minutes, talking to regulars not doing anything else never came over to ask if we wanted anything else planned on having another drink and dessert but decided to leave after not getting any service read more

Eight gals enjoyed a birthday celebration for our 94 year old friend today. The manager and our server Zanne were very accommodating. The quality of the food, the flavor and the portion sizes were very good. I think the menu could be a bit smaller. Why? I'd hate to see corporate close the place because they aren't making enough profit. I've had several friends in Vegas that have had their restaurants closed with no notice or very short notice. It's all about the bottom line. I think the exterior of the building needs attention. It's way too nondescript. Boring on restaurant row probably isn't in their best interest. Maybe that's why this was the first time I've been there and I've lived here for many years. I don't believe I've seen any advertising for the restaurant. Either way, I would highly recommend it over Olive Garden. I hope they hang around for another 20 some years. read more

Love the food and employees. Great place to have a nice dinner with family, friends or whomever!!

Before Covid Johnny Carinos was open at 11am. Then during Covid, they started opening at 11:30am. Alot of places had staffing issues during that time so it was understandable. Since Covid this location has never recovered to its former self and today when we showed up at 11:30, we were shocked to discover that they now open at 11:45. We decided to go to the restaurant next door instead which now opens at 10:45. I don't think we'll bother with Johnny Carinos again. There is a reason why their parking lot is empty. read more

Went to carinos today for the first time and, service was horrible!! I believe her name was Kelly or cali. She didn't have many tables but still took at least 20 minutes to get my drink and then another 20 just to get my food order and when I did order she was very rude. The hostess helped me out more than the server and the food was good but will not be back because of service. Even though she wasn't busy she didn't seem to bother to help at all! read more

We were Denied service because of my service animal. The so called manager insisted we were to present a card. There is no card to present. I have contacted the ADA. Perhaps re- training your manager is required!! Icing on the cake we have visited your location many times and have not had this issue that occurred this evening . Very disappointed in your manager.. She was rude and had a nasty attitude. Do better!!! read more

Okay so we are locals but have avoided this place for about 4 years following two horrible experiences. We decided tonight to give it a final try and we were pleasantly surprised! The service was good, the food for a chain Italian restaurant was very good. We ordered the stuffed mushrooms for an appetizer and they were very good. We shared an Italian Wedge salad that was very good, thanks Cynthia! I had the Chicken Cacciatore which was excellent and my spouse had the Cheese Ravioli with meatballs. We were happy with everything. We are also looking forward to returning soon! no pics because we're hungry read more

I don't know what happened tonight, we have eaten at Carino's many times, but tonight was the worst experience we ever had there. I'm pretty sure our server was new, she was completely lost. She struggled with taking our orders, she had to ask her manager for help more than once. He didn't seem to be much help! After finally getting our food ordered , we waited quite a while for it to come out. To our surprise they brought out our meals before our appetizer and our salads. When we received our salads they were with the wrong dressings. And the appetizer of calamari was tiny, it was literally 8 small pieces and rubbery. My food had to be sent back, the chicken on the chicken Parmesan was so overcooked I couldn't cut through it and again the portions were tiny. As a server I would have been embarrassed to serve what they served us. There were only 4 of us in our party, the restaurant wasn't very busy and it took over 2hours to get through this service. Then we had to ask for our bill because we were more than ready to leave. I was pretty disappointed to have brought our guests to eat here after we told them how good it was based off our previous experiences. read more

Great Customer Service and the food was Excellent and the atmosphere was nice.
