Italian Cuisine
The immense popularity of Italian cuisine globally isn't unknown. You can find an Italian Pizzeria around every corner of almost every city in the United States. Not to forget that in every house, people enjoy mac and cheese as comfort food. But it would be wrong to believe that Italian food starts with pizza and ends with good pasta as this Mediterranean country has much more to offer other than these two dishes. In Italian Cuisine, there is a high use of fresh tomatoes, all kinds of herbs, great quality of cheese, all types of meat, seafood and fresh handmade pasta. Many find it hard to believe that Italians have been making noodles long back.
Italian and Greek cuisines are always mistaken to be same, but they are poles apart. The primary difference between the two cuisines is the use of cheese in most of the Italian dishes. Italians love to cultivate their own cheese and process them as per their food requirement. It is believed that some cheese is so expensive that cheese producers secure them in lockers.
If you are bored eating the same old pasta or pizza, you can try some of the authentic Italian dishes like Risotto, Polenta, Ribollita, Lasagna, Fiorentina Steak, Bottarga, Ossobuco, Carbonara, Focaccia, Arancini and Supplì. Another item which Italians love to relish every morning is a good cup of Italian Coffee. Once you taste a freshly brewed cup of Italian Coffee, you might not visit Starbucks ever again. Authentic Italian food is made with heart and soul, so go find a restaurant where you can relish Italian cuisine in your city.

One of my favorite restaurants! I get to Boise 3 or 4 times a year and always make a point to try and stop in here for a meal. I have tried other Carino's restaurant's and this location is the best of them. The Lemon Rosemary Chicken is always a favorite, but it's all so good I never know what to order.

A group of friends and I went out for lunch and sadly our first choice Cracker Barrel was completely packed, we decided on Craino's since the parking lot was near empty. Our whole experience summed up in one phrase would be "what a shame" Only reason this is not a 1 star review is bc their was some food that tasted good. Always trust the Yelp reviews, usually when a place has low rating in multiple locations it's for a reason. Anyway We were off to a good start with quick service, hot fresh bread, and a roasted garlic oil to dip it in. Next our appetizers come my friends enjoy fresh salads and I dig in to my garlic potatoe soup and it was pleasant. Seeing we are in a Italian restaurant and (above average according to the prices) I pick the most CLASSIC item Speghetti and Meatballs. At $13.77 I'm most certainly hoping for fresh pasta, homemade sauce and succulent meat balls. As you can see by the pictures the dish looked like it was going to match, but looks are not everything. The pasta sadly was just store bought from a box and boiled, the whole dish lacked seasoning (salt), the saddest part was the tasteless meatballs and highly watery acidic sauce. It was very sour due to the cook not balancing it out properly with herbs and a sweet component. My friends calamari was not properly fried as it was soggy with oil and not a crispy texture, he was very dissapointed in the bland taste of his dish and dipping sauce. I'm writing my experience because my reviews are to keep you from spending money on mediocre food or in this case even less. I have eaten fresh pasta and homemade sauce in NYC for $8.95 yet this place charges. $14 for a dish that taste like a tv dinner. If you want GOOD AUTHENTIC italian Boise has way better places that are local and deserve your money.

Sooo yeeeah....stopped in for lunch with my husband after a Costco run. The food is absolutely terrible. No Italian in their right mind would put mayo on a caprese sandwich. The shrimp pasta my husband ordered tasted like...nothing. The balsamic dressing that came out with my salad was a bottle of balsamic vinegar. The oil for dipping our bread in was rancid. The extra star is for the service, our waiter was super nice. 5 star service, really. We felt terrible he has to work in that dump so we tipped well.

Today we stopping for lunch. They have a great lunch special on Tuesdays buy one entree get the other for free. The bread and roasted garlic was good. The salad and soup was pretty good. The friendly waiter kept asking us for refills on bread salad soup. Our entrees lasagna was better than expected. The best part about the whole deal was it was $9.43 for 2 people for lunch. Awesome!

This was my first visit to Johnny Carino's and it was okay. The food was good and had huge portion sizes, so my friend and I actually split a meal which worked out much better. Our waitress was not very attentive and the bartender took a really long time to get us our drinks. Overall, it was just average food and the service made me not want to come back anytime soon.

As a genuine East Coast Italian, I love trying new places. Carino's isn't that great. I knew we were in trouble when I saw "Italian Nachos" on the menu. But we were in a group of 20, so I stuck it out, hoping for something good. I asked our waiter when he took our order for more bread, oil and some butter. For some reason, they don't serve butter for your bread off the bat. Just oil with pepper flakes. Never got the "unlimited bread", nor oil nor butter. The salad was hideous. It looked okay, but tasted only of apple cider vinegar. Actually, it tasted like bleach water to me, but my wife tried my house salad and said it tasted of vinegar. She had Caesar Salad that she liked and our waiter offered me another salad, or soup. I passed. I ordered the "Chicken Parmesan" and got a chicken filet that was fried nicely, but came with a wafer thin piece of cheese that didn't cover the chicken and the sauce was like what you get in a can of Spaghetti-O's. Yuck. the side of spaghetti had the same sauce. Maybe they served me a 1/4 can of Franco American? My wife had the lasagna. The sauce was different, but tasted canned, too. Not too good. Dessert was a "mini" cheesecake. It was okay... about a 1" X 1" piece for $2.00. Way overpriced I usually reserve my hatred of Italian fast food to Olive Garden, but THAT place seems genuine compared to what I got at Carino's tonight. My first and hopefully last time. Oh, I did find the something good... it was my wife and 18 friends.

This was our first time at a Johnny Carino's. Our hotel recommended the restaurant as "better then the Olive Garden and less expensive then Marconi Grill", and for the most part we would agree! It was 9:45 pm on a Friday night and the place was ninety percent empty. The wait staff was starting to clean up, which surprised us given what other Yelpers had posted about how busy the place was suppose to be. We were served by a very energetic waitress who might have been the only one with customers in her station. For us, all we wanted was to enjoy a decent meal and relax, after driving over fifteen hours. And, forget about any alcoholic libations, since we would have been asleep before the entree arrived! One of us order the angel hair pasta with meatballs and a side of sausages, and the other was the Italian nachos. Both were good, not great, but good. The marinara sauce was bland, no hint of garlic or onions; while the meatballs were hard as a rock, again lacking any flavor and the sausages were okay. There was a mistake with our order of the Italian nachos. We order the sausages but instead were served chicken, our waitress was wonderful and quickly fixed the order with no fuss. Did I mention she was energetic? Now, given our somewhat limited dinning experience, were we impressed, no. Would we be willing to come back with a larger group and try some of the other offerings, yes. We did sign up for their email club, so we are somewhat positive toward Johnny Carino's. But even in our tired state it was less then we had expected -- AND we would have eaten anything at that point. So, in the end we wanted to like Johnny Carino's more then we did, but our experience would not stop us from a future visit. Sorry!

My family and I went here last night and it was great! The bread was amazing our server was Awesome! Don't remember his name but he had short curly hair. He told us about happy hour so we got a few drinks then was even nice enough to come back when happy hour was ending to ask if we wanted one more before the price went up. Very thoughtful! We all got cheese stuffed tortellini which was awesome and came in a great sauce! Overall great service great good and a great happy hour! We ll definitely be back!

Of the Italian chains, Carino's is not tops but not the bottom rung either. The Balsamico chicken and Salmon salads are good choices. They have Peroni on draft and an adequate wine selection. The location by the movie theater draws a huge mob before movie time, so plan accordingly. The vibe is oppressive when it is this crowded. But that is the case with almost all corporate food empires. I look around the room and get depressed about the impact of the western diet on America. I make it a point to order something resembling leafy plants at institutions like Carino's, thinking that it has an impact on the buyer's menu design choices back in New Jersey or wherever they are headquartered. Like Eve in Wall-E, I am in search of some remaining botanical evidence on this planet of cheese and processed starch. Fortunately, Carino's has some worthy specimens to ingest.

Our family dined at Carino's last night six of us, the service was SLOW the waitress was flighty, she stopped in middle of taking our order to talk with a co-worker, was 2 hours before we got our orders , they were out of what was an advertised special. Every time we needed something we had to chase her down. This would have been acceptable if the place was packed but it wasn't . Wouldn't go there again. Too bad the food was decent.
(2)Robert B.
We enjoyed our meal at Carino's. We arrived late, just before closing, yet they were friendly and acted happy to have us there. The meals were good, and they had decent beer and wine selections. Prices are reasonable too. Very good for a chain restaurant, and convenient to hotels, shops etc.
(3)Janet E.
This restaurant is one of my top 5 italian restaurants ever. Strange that its located in Boise, ID right? The service was outstanding. Everyone was so nice here!! And the complimentary bread tasted so good with the olive oil and parmesan cheese! Maybe we were starving but this totally satisfied our hunger. The food was fresh and delicious! We stayed in Boise for four days and came here for dinner twice! We never had to wait and there is a lot so parking was easy.

(5)Hayley B.
Blah. Came here with friends on a Tuesday night. It wasn't busy at all. For some reason, they sat us in the bar. Service was painfully slow and incompetent. Food was fine, but I've had better at most of the other chain Italian restaurants. I had the chicken parm, which was way too thick and very unappetizing. Maybe we went on an off night, but I don't think I'll be returning to find out.
