Johnny's Ristorante Italiano

Food and atmosphere was perfect which takes me directly to the main point why I gave 4 star instead of 5. Why would I toss out a perfectly delicious barely touched food? It was my wife and sons birthday and we simply wanted to leave room for dessert and asked to take out the food. The server took the food away and I assumed that’s their process for putting the food in box and bringing it back! We waited and waited and waited but no box came and when we asked, the server told us our food is tossed out. We were very disappointed, especially My wife who had a single bite from her food. I wish the server confirmed what we wanted! Seeing that we barely ate our food and it was untouched almost. This was our first time here and we had too much antipasti and also wanted dessert and was already full when the entrees arrived. We were looking forward to enjoy our entrees later at home or tomorrow. Other than this and the unusually long wait time to get our drinks, everything else was perfect.

Traveling through town and was lucky enough to experience the best lasagna I've tasted in a long time. The atmosphere and views are amazing. Everyone was kind and helpful.

My girlfriend and our friends had a great dinner here. Great drinks and delicious food. Highly recommend if you want Italian food and pasta in Reno. Popular among locals!

We went as a large group for a wedding. Our server was top notch and was on it. The food was amazing, the drinks quite delicious, the whole vibe was great. I have some dietary restrictions and they were able to accommodate me and provide amazing selections. Cannot wait to come back, please reserve a table in advance, enjoy~

If ya love ur Italian food this place comes highly recommended please make reservations was packed... Very courteous staff service was prompt very efficient moderately priced 4 wat ya get actually the calamari could have b'n a lil'bit better but still managed 2 put it down. Johnny's bread sticks r top-notch, we ended up bring'n the rest home n the gravy a.k.a. marinara is very tasty n has a kick 2 it. Excellent date night or special occasion din-din place.

Came in yesterday evening with 4 friends to celebrate sobriety milestones. Our whole table recently quit drinking and this was a celebration of such for those individual milestones. I will say the food was incredible but thats where the positives stopped. As soon as our server Allie realized we weren't ordering alcohol her whole demeanor changed. She kept cracking jokes about our iced teas and sodas, as if any of us care about your sideways thinking. We had to beg the server assistant for a refill on our water and non alcoholic drinks. Throught the course of the meal, she didnt come to check on our appetizers or entrees once, NOT ONCE. And was in such a rush to get us out she cleared our bruschetta off the table eith bread and tomatoes still on the plate. Yet she was giddy as a school girl with an awesome attitude with the two other tables beside us drinking wine and martinis. She even checked to make sure their meal was delicious. Then it came time to split the check amongst the couples in our group. Guess thats too much work also because she complained how she could only split it two ways. Shame, had she given a care about us we are all high level hospitality employees and probably would have given much more than the tables drinking just based on the food we consumed. That server assistant with the long hair deserves a raise. Heck, I'd hire him for my place. Hopefully she doesn't treat everyone this way.

This place is amazing. Wonderful service, authentic style pastas and soups, great wine list. I don't think I have anything bad to say. It can get a little loud because the tables are a little close, but that's okay. Very nice restaurant for it being where it is. I got the cannelloni with minestrone and both were great. The bruschetta is basic but delicious. My husband got the evenings special, lemon angel hair pasta with shrimp and loved it. I would 100% recommend trying this spot. Also, amazing prices. I would say comparable, if not better priced than olive garden. But a whole different level than olive garden. Would be an insult to compare the food to olive garden.

Second time there, first was very nice, the last time was for a birthday, wasn't very busy probably 90% of the tables in and out Saturday evening. Service very slow, had said it was for my date 's birthday, no effort from them to even acknowledge. Pork chops were very nice. Frustration at the lack of attention I asked for a box, was moving my date's last of her pork chop to the box and the waitress asked my date if I was her "Garbage Disposal" what class!!! Will never go back and no recommendations here. The only special was the lasagna we had last week. Not the expected result from a restaurant claiming to be of a higher standard. Asking my date to comment on her "Garbage Disposal " was as low class as we have ever experienced before in any establishment. Dinner over $100 for two was half what I expected to pay, however for the lack of service, the inexperienced service staff and the insult from the waitress is so not what I wanted. Should have ordered take out and been better served. So very disappointed!!! Be aware.
