Best

Nice Italian Chain Restaurant. The Chicken Marsala is very good. Their Bread is great, and their Cesar Salad is always good. Friendly waiters. Double drinks during Happy Hour....

Worst

I found Carrabas to be overpriced and skimpy on portions. Food quality was only fair. The service was good. I would recommend it only on atmosphere and service,not food quality or...

As Italian as Apple Pie 9/5/2002

Carrabba's isn't Italian. Sure they offer Italian sounding dishes, but anyone who has ever had the pleasure of eating REAL Italian food, knows that Carrabba's is as Italian as apple pie! The food is excellent, but if you want Italian, go find a small, local hide-away and experience Italian that will blow you away. Pros: Tasty dishes Cons: Crowded, Not Really Italian more

Not impressed! 8/8/2002

I was really looking foward to eating at Carrabba's but I was dissapointed. The food was not even half as good as Maggiano's. If you really want good Italian try Maggiano's it is actually in the same price range in case you are wooried about it being expensive. more

ROMANTIC 8/8/2002

This is by far my favorite place to eat, period. My husband and I go when we are sure we will have to wait. Most of the fun is sipping a glass of wine and catching up on the weeks events with each other. Sometimes they want to seat us right away, had we have to tell them to push our name back on the list. Although we see tourists in shorts and flip flops, we always dress up for Carrabba's. Warning: The food is to die for! Pros: Romantic, Friendly, Wonderful Food more

Not over done 8/7/2002

I love this place. I love the food because, they do not over power the natural flavors with heavy sauces. The food is done to perfection. The place is always jumping. Conversation going on everywhere. Great place to be with lots of friends. Pros: Great Food, Great place to be wit, Great value Cons: loud at times, Not romantic more

BEST ITALIAN EVER! 5/30/2002

I am a regular because I absolutely LOVE their food. I always take my family and friends there and never have to worry that the food won't be anything less than excellent! It is always fresh and everything that I have ever tried has the best flavor and just the right amount of spice. I have been to all those fancy and expensive Italian restaurants and their food doesn't even compare to Carraba's. It is my restaurant of choice for any special occasion also. When a restaurant is so successful for so long you know that it is a good place! The only thing I wish they would do is make the whole restaurant non-smoking. Pros: Great tasting food, Great dessert, Friendly service Cons: Smoking section, Almost always a wait more
