I usually don't like chain restaurants, but I didn't find much to dislike about Johnny Carino's. They give you bread that you can dip into olive oil that has roasted garlic in it, and that's pretty tasty. The menu isn't very innovative, but their food is pretty good - I especially like their pasta with bacon tomato sauce. The desserts aren't worth writing home about, but they're passable. Service can be a tad bit too eager, but that seems to be a general problem with a lot of restaurants.
