Default Carrabbas

Carrabbas is a mainstay for us. The mussels are great. I tried a roasted pork dish on Saturday night & I plan to order it again the next time we go there. The service was efficient. If you call ahead, your wait should be a short one. The place was mobbed on Saturday night.

I love Carraba's! My favorite dish is the Chicken Bryan. My hubby likes the Steak Marsala. We go there on most special occasions.

I love Carrabba's. I have the Calamari Ricardo as an entree when I am there.

I've never tried the calamari there. Is it a breaded type?

Carabbas is our favorite also - the calamari is the best we have found - it is breaded but not heavy and tastes very fresh. My favorite entree is the steamed clams with their bread - yum!

Love Carabbas, never had a bad meal there, as a matter of fact their dishes are all very tasty (food is good too), I'd give them a 9.5.............GN

Arrow Agree 100%!

I completely agree. We've been to Carrabas many times and it's always been excellent. Service too. Even with a party of 20!

Golfnet,

Where in TV is Carrabba's?

I've been to the one in Kissimmee twice over the last five years or so and everything was great, the drinks, the food, the service...I had the mahi mahi both times.

Russ: Bahama Breeze has good calamari also if you ever get a chance to eat there.

Default Carraba's UGH!

Have friends that LOVE Carraba's. Tired of eating the same old food there. Does everything taste the same after a while?? I am having a real problem with happy hour. Order Vodka Gimlets. If order up - not on happy hour even with bar vodka because more that a shot of house booze. This is not so at most other places. Tired of the crowd - although that must mean people really like it. I personally would rather not go to a chain - maybe Little Joey's, Giovannis, Naples, or even Stavro's.

Red face My Bad

You are right - if I don't care for someplace I just shouldn't choose to eat there and I shouldn't be critical on the TOTV blog, I was out of line with my post. My Bad!
