Johnny Carino's

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.

Hands down one of the best gluten free experiences I've had. The portions were HUGE. Our waitress seemed very knowledgeable about everything. There's a whole menu of just gluten free stuff. Plenty of options. Did I say the portions were huge? I swear my husband's leftovers weighed 40 pounds. Prices weren't bad either. Prices aren't on the menu but our meals were around $18. Highly recommend!!

Very delicious and safe place for those with gluten and wheat allergies! Pretty decent amount and variety of options on a separate gluten free menu! Not many Italian restaurants offer gluten free options where I am from so I was super excited to have some on vacation! I had the gluten free spaghetti with meat sauce and their sausage as a topping! VERY big portions by the way - pictures don't do it justice! No reaction! Would highly recommend!

They do have a gluten free menu and the waiter was knowledgeable about celiac. The food was just okay however. It may have been what I ordered but it was pretty bland.

Food was good...nothing special. Waitress was very kind. When I had eaten about 1/2 of my pasta, I found a cooked fettuccini noodle mixed in with the gf spaghetti. Sigh. :(

Food was decent. There was a lot of variety in the GF menu. I got the grilled chicken parm. The chicken was delicious but the pasta was bland. Server was obnoxious. He was loud and did a radio announcer voice the entire time.

No hate against restaurant. Got the gluten free spaghetti and it wasn’t great. Maybe they were supplied with the cheap pasta.. not sure. Soggy and starchy. Service was great!

They had a very nice gf menu with multiple choices. I opted for a shrimp scampi pasta dish using gf spaghetti. It was wonderful! My waitress was very knowledgeable about my needs, and seemed to communicate that well with the kitchen staff.

Inquired about the gluten free selections multiple times prior to ordering GF Chicken Parmesan specifically from their gluten free menu. Shortly after eating became profusely sick vomiting and diarrhea for four hours.

I have Celiac and had a scary experience, which proved the lack of knowledge the staff has. I asked the waitress for the gluten free menu and I asked for the chicken Parmigiana with spaghetti from the gluten free menu. When I received my food, the chicken was breaded, when I spoke to the waitress about this she said, she knows because some people like to mix it up. I tried to explain how serious this is and your are playing with the health of your customers.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu. Had the salmon avocado salad, it was delicious. They had plenty of pasta options and other salads.

We ate at Carinos in Pigeon Forge this month while on vacation. I had a good GF experience two years ago at this same restaurant so we decided to go back again. They have a gluten free menu with several GF pasta dishes to choose from along with several other GF items. They also have a GF kid's menu. My GF pasta was delicious and my husband said his gluten-filled pasta was great too. Nice atmosphere - unless they sit you back by the kitchen which is very noisy with servers, cooks, and pots and pans.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The chicken caesar salad was great! I was at a restaurant that was supposed to have a gluten-free menu but did not. While my party enjoyed their food, I ordered and went to pick up the aforementioned salad. A lovely smelling loaf of bread (not GF) came with the order which justified the price. Quality taste

Don't have pizza at this location!

Good variety GF menu which shows they put some thought and care into it. Good food but it is a two $ restaurant.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The staff couldn't been nicer. They have an actual Gluten Free Menu as opposed to everyone else's piece of paper. the pasta was perfect, a rare treat.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

The food was good but it definitely needs more than one $.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They said they have pizza and we looked it up online, but when we got there they had no GF pizza! Very disappointed!

They have a very nice Gluten Free Menu. I had the Shrimp Scallopini and it was very good. Salad was great too! Enjoyed my experience!

Nothing gluten free. Staff was inattentive took 10 min to acknowledge us after waiting at the greeting counter. They never heard of gluten free, that person asked another worker they never heard of it then they went asked the manager took 10 min and said they might be able to do a grilled chicken with veggies. I did not feel safe to eat anything.

Very limited gf options, only 2 entrées on menu. Too pricey for a small bowl of pasta with watery sauce. No gf bread. No choice of noodles.

Revising my review after ordering gluten free pasta explicitly and having regular pasta delivered with a smile. When I told the waitress it was not gluten free, she asked if I wanted her to take it back and redo it with gluten free. We left and went to another restaurant.
