We usually avoid "chain" restaurants but have recently made an exception by dining at Carrabba's Italian Grill in Richmond, VA. Although we usually try different restaurants in our area, we have been to Carrabba's twice in the last two months and had consistently good food each time. The seafood was fresh and plentiful in my pasta dish which was served... More

Service was good and the staff are very friendly and trained well. I was very please with my dinner selection and so was my wife. Everything on the... More

I ate there the evening of March 21st. I felt like it was good, but not remarkable. The parking was good--it's in the confines of the Chesterfield Town Center parking lot. There was no wait--it was about 8:15. The tables have this pitiful vinyl design to mimic stone, but it isn't fooling anyone. Our waiter was truly fantastic though--a nice... More

This restaurant can be very crowded but they do have call ahead seating which helps considerably. The service has always been good and even when crowded, you don't feel rushed. Their lobster ravioli is the best I have had anywhere.

The food here is excellent across the board. Love sitting up at the bar by the cooking station and watching the action (and receiving samples!). Make sure you try the shrimp scampi.

I really didn't expect Calamari on the menu, but there it was. It was very good. A light crusty breading seasoned wonderfully and a good portion too. The bread with the oil and the little green Herbs was superb. One of the best breads I have eaten, especially warm the way it was served. I don't even remember my main... More

I was not pleased with the veal dish, but everything else was excellent. The bread was great, and the pasta side dish that came with the entree was very good. I am looking forward to going back, but will get a pasta dish for my entree.

Nice Italian restaurant. Great food with pretty good service. It is a little difficult to find a quiet corner. Too popular with families, Well, being older, we're beyond that. I would agree with those who pick less crowded times.

We recently had dinner at Carrabba's Italian Grill, and were very pleased with the entire experience. Our first positive was the 4 p.m. opening, as we prefer an early dinner. At that hour, the restaurant was not yet busy, so it was quiet and we had our choice of seating. We were greeted in a welcoming fashion, and served by... More

the food was good but nothing extraordinary. they were very crowed and the wait time was not going to be a great idea with our 4 year old. a half loaf of bread for 5 entrees was a little skimpy and they did not include any cutlery with our order. I'm sure dining in the restaurant would have been a... More
