Johnny Carino's - Sioux Falls
2310 S Louise Ave, Sioux Falls, SD
Crema's Take
“Johnny Carino's in Sioux Falls feels like a comfortable gathering spot where Italian comfort meets casual dining, with regulars raving about their handcrafted Italian sodas, build-your-own pasta, and standout dishes like lemon rosemary chicken and wedge salads. The warm, inviting atmosphere and genuinely attentive service make it perfect for lingering over lunch or meeting friends, though expect a wait on weekends when locals are clearly in the mood for something more thoughtful than chain-restaurant fare. This is the kind of place where people return specifically for certain dishes and the overall ease of the experience, even if it doesn't quite reach the memorable heights of fine dining.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Pastries on the menu. Open late. Family friendly.

The wait to get in on weekends is sometimes 30 to 45 minutes. The sangria, wedge salad, lemon rosemary chicken and chicken scallopini are always great. My daughter likes the chicken alfredo. A friend orderdered the chicken gargonzola and it was not my favorite. The tiramasu is…
Really awesome building and atmosphere, and many of the dishes sounded great. The food was good, very solid but nothing was memorable. Think of a variation on Olive Garden with a touch of Applebee's but with freshly prepared food not dumped from a bucket. The service was…
