When faced with a chain restaurant decision and I want pasta, JC's always wins. Lobster Raviolis were good but a bit luke warm, salad was served without dressing, but they are so quick to fix their mistakes that I will come back. great service, good food nice environment.

Our family love pasta dishes and this restaurant has an affordable family deal on Mondays: Family platters are 1/2 off so for about $14 we feed a family of 4 ( 2 teens) no beverages but water and of course their 'free" warm mini bread loaves with a plate of olive oil and garlic bits adds to this restaurant's greatness!...

We asked yo be seated on the patio which was very nice. The menu has a lot of different options, not just the regular Italian staples, although they are there if you so choose! Service was great! The Italian drinks were very nice, they make a great authentic Bellini. The atmosphere is very authentic to Italy. We would definitely eat... More

We got there about 5pm and got seated immediately. We were immediately were welcomed and got a bag of bread and a small saucer of olive oil with black pepper and burn peices of garlic in the olive oil. It was horrible! Our waitess was very nice and asked what we wanted to start with and took our appetizer order.... More

Let's start with while walking to our table the floor was extremely sticky. Sticky enough that I rubbed my shoes in the snow after dinner. Anyways the staff was very polite and helpful and the bread appetizer was great. Although the appetizer plates were filthy along with one of the glasses and the booth had not been cleaned throughly. Those... More

Had never been here before, and sure are glad we went. You can taste that the pasta is freshly made every day. Menu consists of a great variety of dishes. The staff is very kind and friendly. Johnny Carinos is a great value for the price you pay. The next time we're in Fargo, we will be going back.

I'll start by saying our waitress was very helpful, prompt, and polite. However the food was really poor all around. Very heavy on the oil, vegetables were over cooked and chicken was dry. Even my dinner partner was disappointed, and he hardly ever complains - especially when it comes to Italian! Sorry Carino's, wish I had better things to say...

Make sure you have someone special to experience this food with because it is really something. The bread and oil served are very unique with the herbs and fried garlic. The Angel Hair with Artichokes with Shrimp was incredible--such a generous portion of shrimp, artichokes, capers, and olives. If soup/salad was included with the meal, it would be an excellent...
