Johnny Carinos - Fairfield (CA)

4 /5 Blanca Fuentes: This was our first time here. They accommodated a table for 7 without prior notice/reservation. When we went they were not busy. I was told it does get busy at times and may not be able to accommodate right away. The food was delicious. We ordered a few pizzas, ribbon firework spicy pasta, parmesan chicken, salad & spaghetti. My favorite was the ribbon firework pasta! The service & ambient was great!

1 /5 Benjamin Medel: I have been to this establishment numerous times for happy hour. What keeps me coming back is the happy hour prices on a few things, and 2 of the older ladies that work here. Management never seems to care about the patrons, the kitchen staff are not on par with industry standards, especially for an Italian based restaurant. I tend to only post reviews about good experiences on my influencers accounts. However after the past few times being disappointed in the dishes and how they are presented with missing ingredients as stated from the menu, as well as Management constantly walking by giving rude looks and never acknowledging us. I felt it was pertinent to share in case anyone is thinking about dinning here. Come for a drink get some mozzarella sticks and keep it moving, they are not busy enough to not be more attentive to its patrons and being in the hospitality industry myself for over a decade.. its a bad look. @JohnnyCarinos you have to do better or you will be the next to go, along with every other place in fairfiled being pushed out. #JohnnyCarinos #DoBetter

1 /5 D H: Growing up, this restaurant felt like everything to me. It was the best Italian food around. We used to celebrate at Olive Garden for every occasion—every football victory, every special moment. It was always an amazing place. When my nephew turned nine and wanted Italian food, he chose Olive Garden, but his mother and I suggested Johnny Carino’s because we believed they were better. The establishment has become thoroughly Americanized, to the point that there are far fewer Italian dishes on the menu than there used to be. Five years ago, there was so much Italian fare that it was hard to choose; now there is very little, and I ended up ordering a dry, unseasoned burger. My sister ordered the chicken parmesan with spaghetti, and the sauce clearly wasn’t freshly made; it came in a bag, tasted bland, and was watery. I tried to steer the meal toward something I could enjoy for my nephew’s big day, but he didn’t seem to care for his own meal. One of their best things is their bread, but we only received one small loaf for five people, which felt stingy. I remember they used to bring an abundance of bread to the table. If you’re thinking of bringing your family, a significant other, or someone you love here, I would strongly advise against it. We even requested a correction for our food, but they insisted on correcting only one meal.

5 /5 American Angler: I was with my pal Bin Jjeenko Khan and his little stab Polk Herindabox going through the mall looking at the food court options, when all the sudden Polk yells out.."Hey! Lets go over to Johnny Carinos" Who the hell is he, I say, and she slugs me in the shoulder, and says its a restaurant..not a person dummy! Well, we pack up the vintage Eagleton Flier she bought from the Aardvarks-R-Us store, and went straight to Johnny Carinos, for an Amazing lunch! 5 stars ☆☆☆☆☆

4 /5 Liann Amagan: This was my first time ever coming ever and I don’t think I realized this place has been here for many years. I was invited to a dinner with a family who comes here to host large parties. The area seems very convenient for large groups, you can order for groups and you have a large space. There are party packages to order and we were super full with leftovers! There’s complimentary bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. We had Caesar salad, chicken pasta, pepperoni pizza, a chicken pizza, and some of the kids ordered tiramisu and cheesecake. They also had pitchers for water and soda. Service was so quick and we were in and out of there but we also had the area to hang out. The quality of food wasn’t bad and seems convenient for larger parties. Parking is easy, service was great.
