Johnny Carino's Wichita Falls

Perfect place and quiet considering we went before dinner rush. Greeted with smiles. Seated quickly and no sticky table. New hired and he was great. Ordered drinks and I had special request which he gave to the bar keep. Ready to order and although ittook a few seconds longer it was just to clarify the order. Food arrived and I had a reaction to some sauce. No ones fault andthe waiter and head cook immediately helped and fixed the situation. This restaurant is clean and with music piped in. you feelrelaxed. Prices are very reasonable and there is plenty of parking available.

Let me preface this review by saying we had not dined at this establishment in over a year. We went here around 1pm on a Saturday. The nearly empty parking lot should have been the first Red Flag. After being seated, the waitress brought the usualbread and olive oil/roasted garlic dip. Well, not quite. Only a half piece of bread and one dip for two people. I asked thewaitress about it and she said the manager says that is how it is to be. Personally, I didn't mind sharing the dip, but if Iwas not in a relationship with my dinning partner, I would not want to share a tiny piece of bread and a single garlic dip. Now, what bread you did get was disgusting. The normal garlic sprinkle on the top was PURE SALT. You had to scrape/wipe offthe top of the bread to make it edible. The house salad was another point of contention. There were MAYBE two measlytablespoons of dressing for a rather generously sized salad. Definitely NOT enough dressing. Another cost cutting measure I amsure. On the plus side, the entrees themselves were quite tasty, and had enough pasta in them for two people. Neither of uscould finish the dishes. Our waitress was very helpful and we cannot fault her for anything. All-in-all it was not the mostpleasant dining experience. Next time when we see a nearly empty parking lot during peak hours on a weekend, we will pass theestablishment by.

So excited, then so disappointed! Had eaten at one in east TN several times and it was always so good! When I saw one close to my hotel here in TX, I was very excited. The place was pretty empty at peak dinner hours, but I didn?t let that slow me down.The service was fantastic! I ordered the wedge salad (which was a favorite from the one in TN) and the spaghetti dinner whichcomes with meatballs and Italian sausage. The salad was good. It was smaller than I remember, but I took the recent challengeswith restaurants into consideration. The meat in the entrée was really terrible. Really bad flavor and texture. I left most ofit behind and went back to my room really disappointed.

We love this restaurant! The staff is friendly, the food is excellent and the place is really pretty and clean. We've been here three times and have been very happy each time. I cannot say enough about the staff. We had different people bring food, drinksand bread. The manager cleans tables, helps the servers. It seems like a real family atmosphere. Try the spaghetti feast. It ishuge and delicious!

I have been going here for several years now and love it. Great food, great service. And even better memories. I tend to keep to myself but I still feel welcome each time. Jimmy is the type of manager that if something isn't right he will make it right as well. If you haven't tried these amazing dishes then reward your pallets and come taste it for yourselves.
