Carrabba's is a step above Olive Garden on the Italian Restaurant chain tier list. You can tell by the fancy way they serve their bread "Yum." My wife and I decided to go to the local Carrabba's. This is an old favorite of ours that we haven't been to in years. I ordered the Shrimp and Filet Toscana with a Caesar Salad. My wife got the Fettuccine Carrabba. The salad was fresh. The romaine was crisp but maybe slathered in too much dressing. The dressing was good though it had that definitive caesar tang. My Shrimp and Filet Toscana was very good. The steak melted in my mouth. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. It had a nice flavor and snap. The Garlic sauce and spinach flavorful. My wife liked her soup. I thought it was too pepper heavy and tasted like a fancy chicken noodle soup with tiny ditalini pasta. She loves loves the Fettuccine Carrabba and always orders it. I like it too, like she says "the peas and the mushrooms add another layer of flavor from your typical alfredo." Carrabba's is a good Italian chain. Its main selling point for us is that it's so close. It's also fairly consistent, you know you're gonna a get a good meal in a nice restaurant. read more

We reserved a spot for the 7/22 wine dinner hoping for a nice evening, but the execution fell far short of expectations. Atmosphere & Service: HVAC Issues: On a 100°F+ day, the restaurant's AC was down. The room was uncomfortably warm, portable AC units struggled, and water glasses were left empty. Overcrowded & Loud: Over 50 people were packed in, leaving standard servers scrambling. The manager had to use a muffled megaphone to introduce courses, making commentary unintelligible. Pacing: Long delays between small wine pours and food delivery ruined the pairing concept. Food Execution: Course 1 (Arancini): More of a fried cheese ball than risotto-based, though flavor was decent. Wine arrived well before the food. Course 2 (Parmesan Crusted Chicken): High breadcrumb-to-cheese ratio, thin and dry chicken (likely held in a warmer too long), and wet salad placed directly on top made the crust soggy. Course 3 (Linguine & Shrimp): The shrimp was so heavily over-salted it was inedible for my wife and other patrons at our table. Course 4 (Cheesecake): Possibly plated too far in advance (soggy brittle) and served partially frozen with noticeable ice crystals while eating. A wine dinner requires an intimate setting (capped at 15-20 guests), working climate control, and synced pacing. Capping attendance and managing kitchen execution would drastically improve this event. Forwarded detailed feedback to management directly as well. Pictures attached show what was not eaten with the exception of what would have been a full cheesecake piece due to son eating it when we got home. We will most likely not eat the rest. We actually won the raffle prize for a complimentary dinner for two at the end of the night, but having already decided not to return, I passed the voucher to another guest at our table. My wife paid our bill knowing how disappointed I was with the experience. I am not seeking a refund, compensation, or free meals. My goal in writing this is to offer actionable feedback so future patrons receive the quality experience a wine dinner should provide. read more

Simple review: Clean place, nice and helpful staff, decent food/drinks. This was our second time to sit at the bar for a few drinks and appetizers. Both times we had good service, despite coming near closing time. I see the restaurant as a whole to be a nice Italian option, but nothing to write home about. That being said may be pricy depending on your taste. I did take a picture of the happy hour deals because who doesn't like a happy hour? We got the Espresso Martini (good but could do without the chocolate), Smoked Old Fashion (on the sweeter end but I enjoyed), Mezzaluna Fritta (simple fried ravioli, good but I wish the sauce was thicker), and the crab cakes (those with us that like crab cakes enjoyed them). read more

Went for happy hour Thursday night and Rayann served us. She was so sweet and attentive

Been to this location plenty of times but with the new management it's been so exciting to come back. Cristian was our server this time and everything was amazing. I had the lentil soup 10/10. The restaurant also doesn't smell like mildew anymore, looks cleaner. We will definitely come back! read more

This place is terrible. I ordered the rigatoni martino with "wood-grilled chicken". My rigatoni didn't have a single piece of chicken in it. Whoever the cook is deserves to lose their job. I spent $25 dollars on a meal I can't even eat. read more

First visit to Carrabba's today I ordered the pistachio crushed trout, soup, mashed potatoes and desert. The young lady that took my order was friendly. The order too 15 mins. The trout was a good as it looked. The potato's and soup was really good read more

My family ate at the Carrabba's Hwy 6 north at Copperfield. The service was terrible. Waiter was either new or just untrained and the servers had no idea how to serve food. None of the norms you see at Carrabba's. Food was mediocre and I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt. We spend $200 we should have eaten Mexican. read more

Extra Cheese CHEAPSKATES! On several occasion we have ordered Carraba's lasagna as a takeout. Crucial to its full enjoyment is the grated cheese that is generously supplied provided you are dining in the restaurant itself. Take out? One has to BEG and PESTER to get any at all. Today, Father's Day 2026, my wife decided to treat me to the lasagna on a takeout basis. She in fact ordered TWO that ran in excess of $40. She asked for four of the little cups of cheese. These cups are at most 1 inch in diameter and a whisker over 1 inch deep. We got 4 cups alright... each filled a depth of 3/16"! Had the contents of all four been put in one of them it would not have filled it much past 1/2". This was so outrageous that it came off as a smart aleck response to this modest request. Tell us Johnny Carraba.. Is the cost of extra cheese for take outs threatening to bankrupt you? read more

Always great food and service. Today our server Cristian was pleasantly helpful. Will be back again! read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Caesar salad for starters. - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

Takeout portion is ridiculously small! Ordered a $28 entree and literally the dinner takeout plate is tiny... food is decent, but will never order takeout again. Going to the restaurant is a completely different size portion. They need to get bigger to go plates... A shame read more

I've eaten in restaurant a few times and always had a descent experience, so I was surprised by how disappointing my recent takeout order was. This was the first time I've done take out with them and certainly the last. I ordered the lobster ravioli (amidst other things). What I got was a pretty small portion that is almost laughable to put the $25 price tag beside the image. The soup that came with it was also tiny. I get that takeout is different than eating in, but this didn't feel like the same quality or care I've come to expect from this place. Hoping this was just an off day. read more

Not what I have expected. Poor customer service and food is average and not worth the money.

Alex was THE BEST server we've ever had at Carrabba's! We usually sit at the bar, but after having Alex take care of us, that's changed we'll be asking for a table with him from now on! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu, gave us amazing recommendations, and made the whole experience feel so personal and fun. If you want great service and someone who truly knows what they're doing, ask for Alex. He made our night! read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Chicken Bryan - Italian Near Me - Houston, Texas

After driving by Carrabba's for years and hearing all kinds of good reviews about the place, I finally decided to give it a try for lunch today. I'm sorry to say that I was disappointed by the overall experience. The service was decent, but the food was not the greatest. For the prices they charge, you should expect more and get better. It is usually easy to say that I will give someplace a second chance, but I don't think I will go back. read more

I went to Carrabba's for the Father-Daughter date night special ($45 for 2 meals). While the food itself was fine, the service was extremely poor and made the whole experience disappointing. It took an hour just to get our drinks, another 25 minutes before we could even place our order, and then 30 minutes just to get olive oil with the bread. The restaurant was busy and clearly short-staffed, but it doesn't excuse how slow and inattentive the service was. Throughout the evening, anything we asked for had to be repeated multiple times because our server either forgot or took far too long. What should have been a nice dinner ended up lasting nearly two hours just waiting around. Overall, it ruined what was supposed to be a special night. Definitely not the kind of service I'd expect from Carrabba's, and I wouldn't recommend this location if you're looking for a smooth, enjoyable dining experience. read more

Service!! Horrible our server was slow he looked distracted, we have to ask for bread, water ( once he came and refilled our water glasses to 1/2 of our guest ( party of 8 ) and he left ) never came back to finish, I have to ask for more bread and water trough other servers whom they ignore our requests as well ! read more

My husband and I ordered takeout a few days ago from this Carrabba's and I ordered the pasta Weezy, which I haven't had in quite a while. I substituted scallops for the shrimp and that part was fine, but I have to tell you the so-called Lead Alfredo sauce on that pasta was the biggest joke ever! That Alfredo sauce was so runny. It was the consistency of 2% milk. I even paid for extra Alfredo sauce because I wanted to have extra when I reheated my pasta the next day. I couldn't even eat the fettuccine with the Alfredo sauce because it was so runny and dripping all over the counter when I tried to eat it. This particular pasta dish also used to have some kind of brown butter sauce on the top that was phenomenal and my order didn't have that at all. I have to say I haven't been that disappointed in a meal in a very long time. My husband had the lasagna and the lasagna was pretty good. I also asked for two loaves of bread and extra herbs for the olive oil and they sent one small to go container of the herbs and no bread at all and no olive oil at all. It just felt like they haphazardously shoved stuff in a bag without thinking about what they were doing. The Carrabba's I've always known there was one to do much better than they did this night. If that is their new formula for the Pasta Weezie, I'll just have to order my pasta from somewhere else. read more

Delicious food, especially for pick up and eat at home!! Nice and warm plate and the whole family enjoyed!!

Our waitress Geyssy was phenomenal! The spaghetti with meatballs was perfect. Would highly recommend.

Excellent service and food. Mama mandolin soup always great. Lunch specials are a must try.

This is the Best Carrabba's in Houston. Best food and friendliest staff. They make you feel like you are part of their family.

I waited 45 mins for a pickup order. the old couple who was there before me left with nothing. the manager "found" my order after I was told it wasn't in the system. when insaid I waited 45 mins to be handed cold food she said sorry about that. never ordering or visiting this location again. read more

we have eaten at this Carabbas a few times and always enjoyed it. So last night Valentine's Day we made plans to eat there again. I always get the veal piccata. We were seated and I immediately noticed no veal dishes on the menu. I questioned our server and she confirmed no veal. That was a huge disappointment and the reason we had picked Carabbas. So in an effort to not be driving all over looking for another place I scanned the menu looking for an alternate dish. Noticing price increases across the board. One of the new selections caught my eye. NEW!!!! it said next to the picture. Pistacio crusted trout with a sauce of your choice. Mind you it is not late at night, more like 4:30pm. The server was fumbling with her ipad obviously not comfortable using it. She finally excuses herself and leaves our table. She returns and says they don't have the trout either. That's it!!!!! a new entre not available on one of the three biggest days for a restaurant during the year. Trout is farmed it's not seasonal. So not sure WHY they did not have it. At this point, I'm pretty fed up. No manager came to our table, no apologies. As we walked out the door the trio of hostesses at the hostess stand "have a good night". read more

Though they have Alfredo and it is very good, most everything else is swimming in Italian red sauce. I'm sorry I just hate the stuff. The one exception is the black muscles . Well spiced! Wine and butter sauce. These and an Italian salad make a fine meal. read more

Today was twice in 2 weeks that we ate here. The service is top notch and the food is fresh and delicious. Great value. The management recognizes repeat customers ( comped our desert). As an added bonus, they will add a togo order of equal or lesser value of your dine-in meal for only $10 more! read more

Lobster ravioli is so good! The curbside attendant Destiny, is so sweet and courteous! Favorite location- Copperfield

We came in to celebrate a friend getting into Rice! Our server was super nice, but she would do "drive by check ins". Lots of "how are y'all doing?" As she walked by our table. Our food took a little bit to come out but they were on the busier side. The restaurant is very quiet and welcoming. Our food was delicious! We were starving so we didn't get pics of the mozzarella sticks & bread with herb oil. read more

Spiedino di Mare was what looked like on the Menu to be a beautiful, appetizing plate of crispy sea scallops, the reason I ordered the menu item. What I got was tasteless scallops at $27 a plate. The scallops were not even a little crisp and little or no seasoning, and I'm not sure there was any kind of butter sauce on them? I also ordered a side of spinach, which I have had before and it was usually good, not this time. In hind site, I should have returned the plate after my first taste of the scallop...but I was hungry so I endured the scallops. I have never been disappointed in Carrabbas, except this time. If this were my 1st experience, there would not be a 2nd. I'll be back, but will avoid this dish, or take them to task for anything this expensive coming from the kitchen. The server was wonderful, we have had her before and she was exceptional. The ambiance is, per Carrabbas, always nice! A party of 6 and we got the round table! read more

This place is horrible. I have been sitting at the bar in plain site and the bartender finally asked me what I wanted after 25 minutes.
