The food is always very good and the service is excellent. The happy hour runs until 7 pm. We sat in a booth in the bar area and ordered out discounted wine before 7 and let it breathe while we waited for our food. We saved a lot of money, enjoyed great food at a reasonable price. I would go... More

This is not my favorite place to eat. I'm not sure why cuz our good friends love this place and go often. We have tried and tried, but it is just okay for us. Nothing special.

My husband and I love to go to Carabba's for special occasions. They have delicious lasagne, and I love their zuchinni with garlic and tomatoes. Delicious!

This is my favorite place to eat. I enjoy the food and the service is always nice. My waiter Frank was out of this world. Although we don't mind the wait but this time there was no out door heaters like last year. We had to wait 45 min in the cold. Very disappointed. We did stay however if it's... More

This restaurant almost makes the tomato a religeous icon in their liberal use of it. For those of us that LOVE the tomato, the food is fantastic. Their fried calamari was outstanding with the bruschetta sauce on it. The panini could use a little more zing, but the cucumber and tomato salad was out of this world. Definitely a place... More

A great and relaxing meal, expertly prepared and enjoyed. Very tasty! Very accommodating and friendly staff. Our waitress was extremely patient and attentive. Everything tastes so fresh, and it's all prepared to order, NOT zapped from the freezer into a microwave! Extensive menu can please everyone from children to the most finicky eater. A great place to celebrate the end... More

If you like Italian food and are sick of being disappointed by other chains, this is your place. I have tried almost everything in the menu and it is all wonderful. The best steak I have ever eaten in my life came from Carabbas, delicious pizza, amazing pasta. I could go on and on. Wonderful service!

Great food. They didn't have exactly what I wanted, but with the help of our waiter, they made my own request: shrimp scampi over angel hair pasta. It was excellent. My only problem with Carraba's is the price. It is great, but it is still only pasta.
