Carrabba's Italian Grill

Experience flavorful Italian food prepared just for you at Carrabba's

  • Handmade Fresh Italian Dishes

Carrabba's Italian Grill originated from a love of food and family. Founders Johnny Carrabba and Damian Mandola designed the menu from generations of their own family's recipes, which are prepared from scratch daily in an exhibition-style kitchen. The cuisine is based on traditional, Sicilian fare with an inventive twist of bold flavors, which are inspired by the founders' Southern upbringing. Our dishes are created from only the freshest, seasonal ingredients and many favorite recipes are cooked on our signature wood-burning grill.

3 Star Rating: Average

Perhaps it was a mistake going in there with expectations, but I was all but completely disappointed. To me the food was average and it was definitely too crowded. Some locals might be under the impression that this is a local restaurant, but that's not the case, they're a chain... we're a very local proud town and I think that's why a lot of people go there. For the price and atmosphere, I'd just as soon go to Olive Garden before going there again. (Provided those were the only two choices)

Pros: ??? I didn't get sick...

Cons: The oil that they served with the bread was standard Olive oil, it lacked the flavor of a refined oil.

I loved this resturant. It is a high class place but without the high class prices. Definantly romantic. You can eat there really cheap or try something a little more exotic and spend a little more. The food is great. I have eaten here many times and have never had bad food or service. If you ever get the opportunity to sit up at the pasta bar or the pizza bar, I would definately recomend it. Just don't sit there if you have a large group and want to talk alot (think, it's bar seating, hard to talk to someone sitting four chairs away). But, it is neat to watch the cooks at work. They offer you fresh Italian bread with a seasoned oil to dip it in. Since I have started going here, bread and seasoned oil has become a staple in my house. If you are a chocolate lover, try their chocolate cake. It is to die for. If your not a chocolate lover, still try their chocolate cake, but find someone to share it with or plan on taking some of it home. It is very rich. I am not big on sweets, but I always have to get a peice. You'll never have better. On the down side, there is not much waiting room and if it is busy, it can get very crowded at the door. That and their tables are placed very close together, so if you can request a booth.

Pros: good food, good prices, romantic

Cons: small waiting area and tables are too close together
