Our waitress was fast, efficient, and friendly! I was amazed at how she remembered our entire order for 3 people, plus drinks, and appetizers without writing anything down 🤯 and got it all correct!! The food was delicious and plenty of it that we had to take the rest home. I think I enjoyed their menu a little more than the other place. It seems more authentic Italian to me.

First time here and after a long day in Mexicali and the temperature was unbearable we hurried up and crossed the border. Truthfully we where hungry and we just had to get out of the heat. We wanted some good Italian food. Both my wife and I where happy w our food and drinks, we ordered lunch for two, this place did not disappoint. We would definitely recommend to friends and we will be back as well.

Johnny Carino’s in Imperial Valley is pretty much what you'd expect from a casual Italian chain. The vibe is warm and family-friendly, with a menu full of familiar favorites—think pastas, pizzas, and hearty entrees. Portions are usually generous, so you’re not leaving hungry. It might not be gourmet or adventurous, but it hits that comfort-food spot for a lot of people. Just keep your expectations grounded in a solid, mainstream Italian-American experience, and you’ll be just fine.

Our food server Maria C. Was awesome great suggestions. Checked on us on a timely mater . Maria was very courteous and upsaled many items. One thing my husband and I have been coming here for over 10 years every other Friday. You need to bring back the beer. Chilli's was packed. Miss bumping in to our friends. They now go to chilli's

I can't believe I "thought" this would be a better option compared to Olive Garden....MAN, was i WRONG! DON'T sit at the bar as a single diner. After 35 min. I had to remind the bartender/server of my order. Even after she realized the oversight, I was still COMPLETELY neglected the rest of the night. One diner, 1-1/2 hours at the bar and it took another 10 minutes just to get the check..... At least at Olive Garden, they hover....offer too many breadsticks and salad, and have "decent" flavored food. Such a disappointment for what's supposed to be "authentic" Italian cuisine. I realize I'm in El Centro but it's still unacceptable for a restaurant.
