Reviews for Johnny's Italian Steakhouse in Altoona, IA
Very nice looking inside and out. Bathroom was very clean. However the dining experience was lacking for a place such as this.... The size of the ribeye is not worth the price I paid. Service was slow. Had to repeat requests. Experience was not worth theprice. I won?t be going back. Read more
A very nice restaurant with exceptional waitstaff. My only complaint is that the oil that the raviolis were fried in needed to... be changed. They weren't burnt, but they tasted burnt. Everything else was great. (Ok the asparagus did need more of the woodystem removed, but was otherwise yummy) Read more
Everything about our visit was perfect.The atmosphere was upscale and comfortable. The food was perfection. I ordered the Filet... Oscar medium rare and it was cooked absolutely perfect, so tender and full of flavor. The garlic mashed potatoes were delicious.The gin mulberry mules are so good I had two. Weston was our waiter and he did an amazing job. My only complaint is that we donot live closer to this restaurant because it would become our must go-to restaurant! Thank you for the wonderful service anddelicious meal. Read more
Our server Weston was phenomenal! The cuisine is delicious and we were served a slice of turtle cheesecake that was to die for.... He recommended several dishes and they were all winners. Read more
Delicious food but slow service. Our waiter had more conversations for our surrounding tables than he did with us. He didn't... even ask what we were there for or what we were celebrating. Drinks sat at the bar for 10-15 minutes before being delivered tothe table. I tried to redirect his efforts to our celebrant, take her order first, etc. The only thing I can say is thatservers need to treat each table with equal service. Read more
I had the Chanel #5, and Shelly had the Heart of Italy. On top of the appetizer, neither of us could even think of finishing... them. The food was utterly amazing, the presentation was spectacular, and the restaurant was clean, modern, and inviting. Read more

Went here for a special dinner on a Saturday evening. We were seated right away. The server was attentive and helpful with... recommendations, and checking on availability of wines. The fried ravioli appetizer was delicious. we had steaks that werecooked to our taste and excellent. The atmosphere was also very pleasant, not loud like it seems many places get. A wonderfulexperience all around. Read more
