Try their pasta milano or penne rustica.

AND try the chicken scallopine, but have them substitute veal for the chicken. Best d**m scallopine i’ve ever had (tastes just like it does in the US)

ooh I tried the green salad too, the dressing tasted like the Italian dressings you’d buy from the co-ops or sultan centre.

I didn’t like their food. If I go there again it would be for their asparagus because it was the only fresh ingredient in my order.

I had the simple grilled salmon, it wasn’t that great. The mushroom soup wasn’t tempting and it didn’t taste good either, it had so much mushroom in it. Everyone else didn’t like their orders. Maybe we just went for the wrong dishes, madreee. People that were coming in seemed to like the place …

I would give it 2 out of 5.

Johnny Carino’s is as low as you can possibly go for food that pretends to be “Italian”. It’s a crappy American chain from Texas for f**k’s sake!!

The fact that Carino’s is still open while many better restaurants fail in Kuwait is not a good omen

I have a very sensitive stomach, but never had food poisoning from carino’s… however all i order is the nachos.
I would still put my life on the line just to eat their nachos. sorry! ;p
The worst food poisoning i’ve ever had in kuwait was from the “99″ next to salhiya.
The other case was around 9 months back.. had hardees the night before my dubai weekend… lets put it this way. My ass literally never left the toilet seat.. sever dehydration, high fever, and constant vomiting. My ass was like a waterfall, except it wasn’t water, lol. Had to get a doctor up to my room. Fucked my whole trip up.

Armani I barely ordered any food there just a single appetizer and main course so i wouldn’t be able to properly review the place. I only review a place after the first visit if I am with a friend and we order a whole variety of dishes.

I agree with Mark on J.Carinos… when I first moved to Kuwait someone recomended it so I went.. didn’t feel well after that .. gave it another go with my hubby.. ended up both in hospital… how nasty is that.. I’m shocked it’s still open…

Tried M.Grill.. not bad.. a bit oily but not bad..
