Johnny's Italian Steakhouse - Middleton

Jackie, our server was fabulous. The food was delicious, as usual. We go an hour out of our way, when traveling, to eat here.

My husband and I went for dinner on a Sunday evening and had a very nice experience. We were served by the gentleman that was also the bartender and we were very impressed. He was taking care of several tables in addition to multiple groups at the bar and making drinks for other tables and still served us perfectly. I ordered the char broiled ribeye with fresh vegetables and everything was delicious. Steak was cooked perfectly and the veggies were cooked but not soggy and soft. The salad and bread seemed fresh and tasted good. My husband had a little problem with his char broiled ribeye not coming out Oscar style as he had ordered (not a big deal, stuff happens but the problem was remedied quickly and graciously by the staff and we were very impressed by their professionalism.

Another great experience at Johnny’s! Our 18 year old was craving scallops, which we were blown away because my wife had them once and I’ve never tried them. I’m glad they had the craving because I tried them and they delicious! All of our meals were amazing and beef was perfectly cooked and so tender. We forgot our leftovers and when I called 30 minutes they were holding on to the leftovers in case we called!! What restaurant does that. Thank you to the entire team for a great night out with our youngest child! We’ll be back again!!

I love the dim, lounge-like atmosphere of the place. Our server was friendly and helped us modify the entrees to our delight. The calamari was good, despite some pieces being a bit chewy. We enjoyed the zucchini fries even though they were a bit soggy. They simply needed to be crunchier. All at the table were satisfied with their dishes. A few criticisms: my filet Oscar was a bit overdone (med-well not medium. I was not a fan of the crab cake atop the steak. It was way too bready and the crabmeat was in little crumbles. A filet Oscar should have big chunks of crab or lobster meat. I also felt the Steak DeBurgo was over seasoned with garlic, but my son enjoyed it. The Chanel No.5 pasta dish was well balanced and full of flavor. Definitely a repeat order. Our desserts were also a big hit. The crème brûlée had a full sweet creamy flavor with that crunchy sugar shell. The Warm Chocolate Cake was a crowd pleaser. Rich chocolate with warm molten center is well complemented with the cinnamon ice cream. Yum!

I have been here many times thru the years. Have the daily lunch special memorized. This visit I had the pick 2 for $14. The salad and Turkey, Bacon, Avocado was delicious! I might have to go back next week to enjoy it again.
