03/28/2008 | I love Carrabba's! The Mezzaluna is delicious. But, the best dish there has to be the Quattro Formaggi, it's a Four Cheese Pizza that includes sundried tomatoes and really really yummy goat cheese.

01/17/2008 | I Love Carrabba's. Most people don't know you can order things that are not on the menu. If you have a dish in mind tell them and if they have the ingredients on hand "Bam" they make it for you.
My special lady and I go at least once a week

10/22/2007 | I've been to the original Carrabba's on Kirby Dr. at least twenty times.
For my anniversary, business lunches, or simply trying to dazzle a new girlfriend. The place always has a warm atmosphere and an energy about it that hasn't been duplicated at any of the other Carrabba's that I've visited. Carrabba's has helped me "attain my goals" on many occasion. For what it's worth, it seems that Bellinis and the swordfish work well on the ladies.(Wink)

08/13/2007 | If you grew up in the northern cities..why would you even bother coming here? If you are from Whitebreadville, Ohio..you might like it as a fancy Olive Garden.

08/06/2007 | The food was very good, had the chicken marsala. It was in a rather heavy gravy, though. The dipping oils for the bread seemed bitter to me. The ceiling was painted very dark (black) and the ambiance is almost depressing/dark like you are in a cave. Very good service; might go back one of these days. (We like Bravo! and highly recommend them).

05/26/2007 | I like Carrabbas...haven't eaten there often or at many locations but I thought the food was great for the money. Also liked the decore and we had decent service for being there mostly at busy times of the day.

05/24/2007 | Naples Florida location is great. Bonita Springs is ok too. There is a chicken dish with prochutto (dont know how to spell it) ham that is wonderful. Not as formal as Maggiano's.

03/08/2007 | I have eaten at many Carrabbas restaurants. They have all been outstanding and consistent. Great Italian food at reasonable prices. They have the best marsala sauce I have ever tasted. The pasta dishes with red sauce are excellent. Anything from the grill is good. Share the "Chocolate Dream" desert with a friend (a chocolate lovers delight). Crowded on Friday and Saturday night. Try sitting at the chef's bar where you can see the food being prepared right in front of you and talk to the chefs (not romantic, but interesting, best on a busy night). Everyone I have ever taken to a Carrabbas restaurant has enjoyed the food and wanted to come back. It is my favorite restaurant.

05/09/2006 | One of my best dining experiences ever. Maybe not the best italian food in the world but definitely a more authentic flavor than olive garden. Also the staff was really great. On our first visit the waiter took the time to explain some of the dishes to help us decide what to order. On every visit the staff has always been nice and attentive to their customers.

03/15/2006 | I rate it as better than Mac Grill for about the same price range.

01/27/2006 | Favorite chain restaurant. My wife and I hate going out to eat because we know we're going to waste money on mediocre food and bad service. Carrabba's is an exception. Great fresh food. I love being able to see the fresh herbs in their sauces. Service is usually great. There's always a chance you'll get a slack jaw server anywhere really.

12/12/2005 | Carrabba's has the best italian food ever. The service is also great. I've eaten there at least 10 times and they get better each time!

10/06/2005 | Who cares whether it's "real" or not? The food is superb in all ways. (Service is a bit overboard, but that's only my personal take.)

08/18/2005 | I have been to alot of Italian Restaurants but this Chain of Carrabba's is the best I have ever been to. The Polo Rosa Maria, is to die for , and every chance I get whereever we go I find a Carrabba's........only problem is we don't have them in South Louisiana.
We give them a ten..............

08/11/2005 | My favorite chain restaurant. This may not be authentic Italian food, but it is tasty and well prepared. The service is efficient, too.

07/24/2005 | The only thing good was the hot crusty bread. the salad (house dressing)was limp and lacked flavor; I had the breaded scallops and shrimp with spaghetti pomodoro and the shrimp was tough (overcooked), the breadcrumb topping was soggy and the spaghetti sauce was bland. When I complained to our waitress, she said she was sorry but had no solutions! I will never go back again.

12/07/2004 | A better choice than Carabbas (also more expensive) if you are lucky enough to have one in your neighborhoodis Timpano's Chop House. Carabba's is fair and again, like most of these chains, absolutely pseudo-Italian, but the food is fairly decent and the service is ususally not insufferable. They embody, to my mind, OK plus.

10/18/2004 | The owner Tim Tumbleson is an asshole and made my experience horrible. He degraded employees in front of me and their peers and was rude to me.

08/26/2004 | The quality of the food is top-notch, albeit it's not true Italian fare. It's the old story; if you expect food like you'd get in Little Italy or South Philadelphia, not happening. The one in Naples, FLA is always mobbed.

03/16/2004 | Carrabba's is pretty good value for the money. I've been to a couple (in Virginia and Maryland); food in the Virginia restuarant was not as good as the one in Maryland, but overall, it was a positive experience. As with most Italian restaurants, some of the dishes are what I'd call fancifully Italian (i.e., you'd be hard pressed to find anything like it in Italy), but the food is better than in a lot of other chains. My dishes tended to be somewhat tangy, but not unpleasantly so. The pasta (fettuccini Alfredo) was not bad, all things considered. Service was good, portions are ample, and the atmosphere is good. It's a nice place to bring kids, too.

03/08/2004 | The food is simply ok and judging by the atmosphere of the restaraunt, they just try to hard to be Italian.....but it is definately not the worst Italian restaraunt I have been to.

03/08/2004 | Enjoyed the food and considerate service during my one visit which occured in Sarasota. Not overpriced though not the absolute best Italian food I ever ate. But neither would I be ashamed to take a date there for dinner and drinks!

11/16/2003 | My only visit to a Carrabas was in Hunt Valley, Maryland and it was great. The atmosphere is nice, the portions are big, and the food is very good for a chain. It is a primarily Italian restaurant, but is much higher quality than the Olive Garden.
