I’m a Brooklyn New York born chef who learned to cook at a very young age by watching and learning from my Sicilian born grandmother and grandfather.

At the young age of seventeen I graduated and earned my degree in culinary arts from the prestigious Johnson and Wales University.

Upon graduation I moved to the West Coast launching my career at the five star Harrahs Hotel in Lake Tahoe.

My name is known around the world as the namesake of the Johnny Carinos restaurant chain launched in 1994.

From 2002 to 2007 I hosted my cooking show “ Break Me Off A Piece of That” on PBS Texas.

From the time we speak until the service has been complete my clients experience five star food and service. My services provide a lifetime of memories.

Through internet searches you will find over sixty five star reviews from past experiences for which I am humbled by

I recently had the sheer delight of collaborating with Chef Johnny for a two-night birthday celebration, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our party of nine was treated to a culinary adventure that spanned continents, and Chef Johnny's punctuality, professionalism, and passion were evident from the beginning. It wasn't just about the food, it was about creating a memorable atmosphere. Chef Johnny set a table so beautiful it felt like we were dining in a high-end restaurant. Every detail was meticulously handled, elevating our celebration to new heights. The menu was a gastronomic journey through Mexico and Italy. Each dish was a work of art, bursting with authentic flavors and presented with flair. From sizzling fajitas to his grandmother's secret eggplant Parmesan, Chef Johnny showcased his culinary versatility and prowess, leaving us eagerly anticipating each course. But what really sets Chef Johnny apart is his respect for the space he works in. Once the feast was over, he left the kitchen spotless - a testament to his professionalism. If you're planning a special event and need a private chef, I can't recommend Chef Johnny enough. His ability to blend culinary traditions into a singular dining experience is truly remarkable. Don't hesitate, give him a call. Not only will your taste buds thank you, but your special occasion will be elevated to an unforgettable culinary celebration.

Chef Johnny Carino went above and beyond to make our dining experience one to remember. He put so much time and effort into making sure everything was perfect for our special occasion.
