What People Are Saying About Carrabba's Italian Grill
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Decorated with family photos of founders Damian Mandola and Johnny Carrabba, the open dining rooms pack groups of friends and extended families into four- and six-person tables and booths; smaller parties or couples can grab stools at the open kitchen's adjoining bar to watch chefs make dinner. The traditional southern Italian menu offers grill specialties like steak Marsala and fire-roasted chicken breast with sun-dried tomatoes; pasta dishes include fettuccine Alfredo and garlic-sauteed shrimp with linguine.

Service was good food was Average
by khterry at Citysearch
Once we were seated, the service was good. Prompt, not intrusive but attentive.
Personally, I would rate the food as just OK...nothing special. I actually like Macaroni Grill's or Buca di Beppo's food better for a chain/franchise restaurant.
I agree with the other reviewer....I wouldn't call this a romantic restaurant but OK for a first date.
- Pros: Good service
- Cons: Average food and wait time for seating on weekends

We have also had Ashley as our waitress and she is awsome, but again we have meet most of the staff. :)
Try the Fillet Rosa, it's not on the menu but it is the best steak you will ever eat! Also, the chicken trio is a great dish, not on the emnu but it has one of each chicken breast on it.
- Pros: Great food, Great service
- Cons: Loud

Come Back

Three years ago we went there and loved the place. Two weeks later we went back and it was just terrible. Yesterday April 9th we went back to try them again. It was far greater than we expected for the appetizer to the main meal it was fantastic. Our waitress, Ashley, was great. We will make that a regular stop from now on. The two cooks, Damian Mandola and Johnny Carabba have really turned this restaurant around.

- Pros: good parking, great food, friendly staff
