Johnny Carino's

My teenage daughter has celiac. We occasionally eat at Carino's and she thoroughly enjoys their pasta (they have GF corn pasta). I don't recall if the menu now indicates GF or if we had to ask. There are limited options, but what they offer is delicious and she has never gotten sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They no longer have a gluten-free menu.

Celiac friendly?

No

Just stopped in at Carinos tonight, only to find that they have done away with the entire GF menu! They said they do still have GF penne, but at this location, at least, we got 3 different stories from 3 different people. Not confidence inspiring. We left.

No

I was excited to try Carinos..it was my favorite restaurant! I was so upset that Carinos did NOT have gluten-free pasta... So upset:(... Ill be going to Zios or Olive Garden for gluten-free pasta.

I feel really good! The gfree menu was nice and offered suggestions on what to tell the server when ordering to promote the gfreeiest dinner. I ordered the Chicken Scallepini with garlic sauteed spinach instead of pasta.

Excellent experience. I had a very knowledgeable and polite staff named Maria. I ate with a group and they brought my food separately. They also communicated to me that they would cook my pasta separately due to my allergy. They had great communication between the waitstaff and the servers. Generous portions and some more unique options than chain Italian style places. I had the artichoke pasta and it was excellent.

I ordered the gluten free pasta with spicy marinara. I was assured they take every precaution to avoid cross contamination. When I received my meal, there was regular spaghetti mixed into the bottom of my noodles. Unfortunately I had already taken three bites before I saw them. Definitely do not recommend if you have Celiac or a wheat allergy. Their "precautions" clearly didn't do much

So many options and the food was delicious. I told them I was gluten-free and asked if I had an allergy. My plate was a different color than the others in my party, so I assume that was to signal to the kitchen to be careful. No complaints!

Server brought a gluten free menu with about 15 options. I ordered the rosemary lemon chicken. Our food came out very quickly. It was the best gluten free Italian meal I’ve eaten out to date. Prices were reasonable. I highly recommend this restaurant.
