Johnny Carino’s has long been a comfort spot for Italian cravings, and the big headline here is their dedicated gluten-free facility status—something that instantly puts celiac diners at ease. The kitchen uses separate utensils, pots, and prep areas for every dish, meaning those worries about stray crumbs or mixed noodles can finally take a back seat. There’s a solid lineup of pastas and even gluten-free pizza, so you’re not stuck with salad while everyone else tucks into hearty entrees. Sure, the menu isn’t endless and some folks wish for more variety (and maybe a little bread on the side), but honestly, isn’t it a relief to eat Italian without that nervous double-checking?
