Johnny Carino's

Carino's is a great place for those that like Italian cuisine. Moderately priced for a decent portion. I was greeted warmly and quickly seated. The waitstaff was very friendly and courteous. The food was good. It came promptly and as expected. I tried the Blackberry Italian cream soda (first time, I must say it was very good). The atmosphere was something you would expect at an Italian restaurant with Rat Pack era music floating around. The reason for 4/5 stars is that I felt a bit rushed. About halfway through my meal, I was asked if I wanted a to go container. Also, the seating in the booth felt a bit low, as if I were a child at a grown up table. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. I will be recommending this place (as well as revisiting myself, when in town) to all my friends that might travel through Fargo, ND.

If you have a reservation for more than two people make sure your don't go hungry. We did not get any service for our party; NOT even drink orders for more than a half hour, after we sat down. The food order was more than an hour, to which we were told that there were more 8 top tables ahead of Us? Why make reservations, than? I know, I will not make the decision to go there myself UNLESS it's for a to go order.

If you order a side a broccoli expect literally a plate full! #not complaining. We enjoyed our visit. Our server was very accommodating. We had a wonderful time! Classy but not snobbish. A1

Johnny Carino's.....eh? Well this place was great. We were greeted promptly by management, ask what our preference was for a table was, and then shown to our seats by the host. The waiter stopped by a short minute later with warm bread and garlic herb olive oil, and to take our drink order. We ordered calamari and a couple entries. The calamari arrived a couple minutes later and our food a few minutes after that. Everything came out hot and fresh, and the presentation was awesome. Parmesan was grated atop our plates, "tell me when to stop" we were instructed, and he grated without hesitation until we said stop. He was prompt, attentive, professional, polite and courteous, and NEVER pushy. His name is Moose. I think Johnny Carino's is luck to have such a great employee and he should be recognized by management for a job well done. The cannolis sealed the deal. Thanks to everyone for making this a pleasant and memorable experience.
