I really like Carrabba's and believe it's one of the best restaurants on the Barrett Pkwy strip. As soon as you sit down, they bring bread with olive oil dipping sauce and the service is usually pretty quick. The kitchen is partially open so you get to see the preprations of your meal and the staff is always knowledgable. I usually get the Insalata Carrabba, which is a huge bowl (the ""big salad"" for you Seinfeld fans) full of fresh, mixed greens, tons of fresh vegetables, succulent grilled chicken strips and the best dressing I've ever tasted. I would definitely recommend Carrabba's over the other restaurant choices off Barrett Pkwy.***4/18/07 - Funny how things change. I went here the Sat before '07 Easter to have dinner w/ my extended family and the service was *horrible*!! We had 7 guests w/ us, which is a large table, but there were only 3 other tables being used in the restaurant at that time, so there was no excuse for our bad service. Our simple salads took about 15 min to be brought out and we really thought our waitress had forgotten about us. The food made me think ""so what?""; no authentic Italian and they have very few choices for vegetarians, which was disappointing for an Italian restaurant. Overall, I won't go here again b/c of the poor service we received and the less than stellar menu, plus high prices overall ($8 martini - it's Kennesaw!) for a lunch. I would rather go to La Docle Vita in the Publix Shopping Center near Cobb & Barrett!
Pros: Nice Interior, Accessible Location
Cons: Bad Service, Few Veg Meals Options, Pricey Kennesaw Menu
