Johnny's Ristorante Italiano
Johnny's is open! Hours are 5-9pm Tuesday - Sunday. Reservations are required for all in house dining including lounge/bar seating. Due to only being able to temporarily operate at 50% occupancy, reservations go quickly so it is recommended to call at least one day in advance. We are still offering curbside pick up during business hours.

Please call 775-747-4511 for all reservations and to place takeout orders. Only a handful of restaurants earn the right to look back over decades, rather than years or months. Johnny's Ristorante Italiano traces its roots to 1966 when founders Johnny and Mary Cassinari embarked on their mission to serve the very finest, traditional pastas, sauces and Italian cuisine made from the freshest, hand-selected ingredients.

We had a large party. Hostess went to every greet each table but ours. We have been seen. That is 10 years. So rude. Lived in this area since 1989. No like.

Great service! Excellent allergy friendly options and extremely educated servers. Kristen (?) was amazing and helped me to order something I could enjoy. Only issue was the hostess seemed a bit sour . It was rather off putting.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Reno so long but tonight was our first time at Johnny’s. I’ve driven by for years and always heard great things…and now finally have my own fantastic experience to report.
Johnny’s was the perfect choice for our 25th anniversary dinner. The ambiance is great and we had a beautiful view out the window by our table. The staff were friendly and helpful and I was surprised and impressed by how quickly everything was served. Every bite of everything we ordered was amazing. My only complaint was that I was too full for dessert…will have to pace myself better

Absolutely loved my experience here, I was lucky enough to get a same night reservation (website advises 24hours in advance, and they were about full for the night when I called). Ruby, our server, was fantastic. I loved my wines (only thing to note about their wine selection is the majority must be ordered as a whole bottle, with a limited amount of glass options, but I still loved both of my glass selections). My pesto gnocchi was cooked perfectly and was flavorful. The antipasti platter was great, I don’t even usually like tomatoes but the heirloom slices that the mozzarella was on was paired

Amazing place to dine or even just have a drink! I went on a date with my new fiance and had a fantastic experience! The waiter was attentive, kind, and informative. He had the menu memorized and was very knowledgeable about anything we asked about from experience. The food it self was perfectly cooked, wounded ful portions and the best flavor! I cannot express how amazing the food , the great atmosphere and the delicious drinks are.

Since my last delivery experience I've not been back but that was 2018 when delivery was just getting started, it was a weekend night and they were busy but the woman who took my order was incredibly rude and my shrimp pasta came looking like someone had squeezed it out between their fingers, so I didn't eat it. However both my dine-in experiences over the years have been awesome - Excellent service, beautiful view of the cliffs and great food. Recommend dine-in the ambiance and price would be worth it. Ordering out, not so much.
