Johnny Carino's - Alamogordo

There may not be many dining options in Alamogordo, but I would recommend avoiding this place based on my experience. I understand that every other restaurant in the world has...

This was my first time trying out this restaurant, and it was decent. I ordered a mixed salad, which had a heavy dressing and consisted of basic romaine lettuce, carrots, and large tomatoes. I would have preferred the tomatoes to be cut into smaller pieces. The pizza I ordered was better, but it had a simple combination of red peppers and mushrooms. It was average in taste. The crust could have been softer, and it would have been nice to have a choice of different pizza sizes (4 slices, 6 slices, and 8 slices), but they only offered 6 slices. The atmosphere was old-fashioned and traditional. The service was slow and the staff acknowledged this. Be prepared for a long wait for your food. The waitress was friendly and attentive once the food finally arrived at the table. On the bright side, they offered complimentary bread. Overall, it is a good place for Italian cuisine.

I had a fantastic lunch with a friend today! Our hostess Shiree was friendly to talk to and our waitress Sally was very helpful with her delicious menu recommendations. Big thanks to the chef for a wonderful meal! We will definitely be returning!

I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant, as it was not what I was expecting. The location may be a bit secluded, but when you come across hidden gems like this, it's definitely worth the visit for a delicious meal.

I can't understand why this restaurant only has three stars. It's amazing, I specifically come here for the Italian nachos and have never been disappointed.
