History
The Uncle-and-Nephew duo, Damian Mandola and John “Johnny” Charles Carrabba III, are Texan boys of Sicilian descent. Their interest in Creole and Southern food and their strong Italian identity inspired the founding of their first restaurant in Houston.
Carrabba’s Italian Grill currently has more than 200 locations across the US and offer “Dine Rewards” to their loyal patrons.
Review
Carrabba’s Italian Grill provides a relaxed casual dining atmosphere with its dimly lit, brick-and-wood interiors. Some locations also offer valet parking and enforce a dress code.
Menu offerings range from soups and salads, to grilled meats, and the more traditional pizza and pasta. You’ll find value despite a slightly pricey cost because their portions are quite generous.
Orders come with complementary bread with dipping oil and herbs. The Chicken Bryan is a bestseller. You can customize your orders, and they also offer Under-600-Calories and gluten-free selections.
Seating at Carrabba’s Italian Grill is fairly prompt though reservations are advisable during holidays and special events. Meals arrive fairly quickly, and the staff are often attentive and accommodating.
