"What an experience. We were greeted by a nice gentleman that was sincere in his greeting. We sat in BJ section. She was AMAZING! She was very friendly. She made some great recommendations. The bread was fresh out of the oven and was tasty. We had the toasted ravioli as an appetizer. They were really good and the sauce added some spice that I liked as well. I ended up choosing the Chicken Parmsean Rigatoni Festival. It was very flavorful and had plenty left overs for lunch tomorrow!!For dessert, we had the Tiramisu and it was delicious!!BJ did a great job attending to us, making sure we were happy with our meal. We never had to wait on refills (I'm a stickler for that)Highly recommend coming in and having BJ wait on you."

Food is okay but it is very expensive for the portion sizes served.

May have had the best service we have had in a long time! Sat at the bar and had amazing service from Brandon! He was so personable, attentive and fun! He went out of his way to make sure we had a great dining experience. We will ask for him next time we eat there.

I’m just going to say this… do NOT get the lobster ravioli ENTREE if you're hungry. It comes with literally SIX pieces of ravioli and they’re not very big, might I add. It was good, I’ll give it that but seriously? I’m not sure if they were running low or if that’s the amount it should come with but it was definitely a surprise. View menu

I had a great ladies night at Johnny Carinos. Our waitress, Jessica, was wonderful and the blackberry and spicy margarita was really good. The pecan chicken salad was tasty, the calamari was okay but different from before Covid hit, and the wings were really good which were lemon pepper and buffalo hot sauce. My sisters enjoyed their Italian nachos. Though I wish they would bring back the Italian pot roast, which was always my favorite. Overall, I would give everything a 4 out of 5 stars.

Went on a Saturday evening; got a table right away. Jessica was the bartender and our server and took excellent care of us. We had Johnny's dinner special: an appetizer to share, 2 salads, 2 entrees from a select menu, and a dessert. We started with mozzarella cheese sticks. I thought they had been fried a bit too long. Salads were okay, but not special. Try the bread with olive oil instead of butter. I had classic chicken fettuccine, again good, but not special. She had the chicken bowties, and that was great, just a little spicy. We splurged for an extra dessert: strawberry cheesecake, and chocolate cake with ice cream. The cheesecake was the better of the two. Overall an excellent dining...

"Don 't be fooled by the Italian food neon sign... there 's more to Gibby 's than just Italian food. In fact, I would highly recommend that the folks at Gibby 's to remove that sign? Why? Because they 're probably losing business to people who don 't like Italian food and think that 's all that they serve. I 'd passed it many times thinking that very thing and never giving it a chance. When a friend recommend that we go here before an event downtown at Capital Cellars (which is right across the street) I was completely opposed until he explained that there is more to the menu than just Italian food. Apparently this place is a hotspot for lunch and at that time you can order at the counter in the middle part of the restaurant. So when we walked in and didn 't find any direction as to whether you seat yourself or step to the counter, we were a bit lost. Then a guy stepped up and said you were suppose to wait up front . Surprisingly, he ended up being our server. Dude, be nice and take into consideration that there wasn 't a sign that says wait to be seated . I was pleasantly surprised to also find that we were there during Happy Hour, which is 5-7pm. The specials includes beer, wine and appetizers. Score!! Don 't mind if I do. I 'm not sure if Happy Hour is offered on the weekends or not, we were there on a weekday. I did notice that they are closed on Sundays though. We started with an order of potato skins from the appetizer Happy Hour menu. I wasn 't too impressed. They tasted a bit frozen, or maybe premade... idk, something was just odd about them. I ordered an entree salad, which doesn 't come with meat unless you pay an upcharge. I decided to go meatless, since we ordered the appetizer too. The salad was excellent, except the croutons. Those were the hardest croutons that I 've ever had in my life. The hard boiled eggs were perfectly, without the green lining that some places can 't seem to avoid. My husband had the steak burger, which the waiter recommended. It was very fatty... so he pulled it from the bun and cut off the fat. If fat is your thing, there ya go."
