    This review is based off of two different times I have tried their food. The first visit was awesome. Me and one of my work colleagues were in the area so we stopped in grabbed a table for two and had an awesome meal. The food was delicious. The server was fantastic and it's the reason I went back the second time. But the second time, I used, Uber eats and ordered my food and had it delivered to my hotel. I wish I thought in advance to take photos because I found the original ones from my first visit still on my phone... But what I received tonight for the delivery was a vast contrast. There was a little to no sauce on the pasta and I couldn't even touch the salad. The lettuce was wilted so bad. I also had ordered two bottles of sparkling San Pellegrino, and instead got two bottles of flat water. I understand that you never have the same experience when you do delivery, they could've tried a little bit to make it seem like they cared. Sometimes it seems as if they think because you're doing delivery you can't complain if it's bad. It was a pretty unfortunate experience. I come here a lot and I was really hopeful that this would be something I could do during each visit because it was awfully convenient and I don't like eating out by myself.

    Basically a lemon drop with rosemary. Perfection.

    My husband and I enjoy the occasional trip to Carrabba's, mainly because they have excellent gluten-free pasta. Every time we go, the portions are larger, and service is excellent. The cocktails are also good. It's a quiet restaurant, but we eat early, so maybe it's not quite lively yet.

    Meatballs & Ricotta expectation.

    Ordered lunch meatballs and ricotta. The menu picture vs what I actually is crazy It was cold, but nothing the microwave couldn't fix, lol. Garlic mashed potatoes and Mama Mandola's chicken soup were my favorites!

    House salad with creamy Parmesan dressing.

    Carrabbas in Kingwood is normally a huge favorite of ours. The dining area is always warm and inviting. However, the last few times we have been, (and today was no different) I'm concerned the food quality is going down. The salad dressings taste different, (almost watered down) even the lettuce is dark and tough. They used to serve a lovely mix of lettuce that everyone in our family loved. (Now not so much) ... I feel the food quality overall is just not as good. Our server today seemed to be new, (which is ok) but she seemed agitated at anything we asked for. (And we were not high maintenance) She did the bare minimum and seemed genuinely thankful when we were done eating. We did not ask for anything special. I hope this isn't the way it's going be now, because after today this is no longer a favorite of mine. Just an average place. :(

    Celebrating a birthday with a dinner at Carrabba's during the Caymus five-course wine event was truly fantastic from start to finish. Mason and William, who are our favorites, made sure we had an amazing time. We began with a meatball paired with a red blend. The second course was a salad topped with eggplant and pistachio-crusted goat cheese, paired with a white wine. For the third course, we enjoyed a risotto topped with shredded short rib, paired with a red. The fourth course was a perfectly cooked filet, served with asparagus and potatoes, accompanied by a red wine. And to top it all off, we had a hazelnut torta and another red blend. It was the ideal way to celebrate!

    Empty seats when mgr said they are packed
    Raelene C.

    We used to love this place. We stopped going because the regular bartender and staff left. We decided to give it a try again with friends and sat in the bar. It took 30 min to get apps and then they were cold. The mgr served us a side of ranch and I asked why it took so long because there are MANY EPTY SEATS. She said the are soon busy and the place i packed so they are running behind. I said I have been here when every seat is full and had no issues. She shrugged her shoulders and walked away. We sent the apps back when we FINALLY got them because they were cold. We never seen the mgr again. We will not be back. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE BY MANAGER!!!!

    Soup. This and more- more  already poured in bowl.
    Good V.

    Oct 7th 2025, at 9:30 pm. They are the best and don't even know. I had ordered their amazing soup through DoorDash about an hour before, and unfortunately the dasher opened my bag and took my soups. I ordered soup for a reason at 9:00 at night, I was really freaking pissed off and worn out and couldn't go out and get canned soups as a replacement. I ordered again, 2 bowls of chicken soup, and they had no idea the ordeal I was in- but came through with a huge bowl plus some. Whoever was working this day, and made the choice to give me all the soup left instead of throwing it away, you really broke my heart with love. Thank you, thank you. Update: the response to this review came less than 2 seconds after I wrote it. That's really sad. Is it worth it at this point? AI has is covered , there's nothing genuine.

    The customer service at this location is outstanding. Food, atmosphere and server's are always pleasant. Overall always great!

    Cold flavorless on edible lasagna a waste of a lot of money! Go to Amedeos  if you would like good food

The staff is super friendly, and we were welcomed as we were (we had hoped to eat at a sister establishment but they sold out of what we wanted). Mimo's offers a great selection of Italian inspired apps, three well appointed pizzas, a few varied and surprising options for pasta dishes, and some mains. Items we tried: Pane - delicious Roasted Carrot Pizza - AMAZING, A little spicy, but definitely something we would order again. Pastas we ordered initially came out cold - our incredible waiter immediately corrected the issue. But from a flavor profile - Pansotti - sooooo delicious. You'd never guess that it was a vegetarian option - the mushrooms were so meaty. The delicate pouches with the spinach and ricotta were heavenly. Pappardelle - The lamb braised sauce had a depth of flavor that could rival any restaurant in Italy. My only tiny hope was that the pasta would have been served aldente, it was a little overcooked. But to each his own. Overall - really great. Would recommend. This would be great for a weeknight dinner or an off the beaten path date night.

The fresh red pepper offered at the table really kicked the flavor up a notch. Beet salad (8/10)- nice presentation.

The fried cheese, tomatoes & candied pecans are a great complement to the beets and greens. Add the fresh cracked black pepper offered by the server. Seafood lasagna (8/10) - the seafood is not lacking! Its very seafood-forward. Salmon, shrimp, clams. You definitely know you are eating seafood. The cheese/seafood/pasta/sauce ratio is spot on, well balanced. It felt more like a seafood dish than a lasagna/pasta dish. My only complaint (and it's not really a negative) is I was in the mood for lasagna & after eating this dish, although it was very good, I still had a hankering for lasagna. Other: - Service in general was good. It was a slow day during my Sunday afternoon visit. - Bathrooms were well kept & had cool big mirrors in the hallway upon exiting the bathroom. - Parking in the attached garage is free. I would return again.

The flavor was good, but because they were small and folded in on themselves, they held a lot of the oil. The oil did taste fresh though. Eggplant parm (small plate): 3/5 most cheese and very little eggplant. The flavor was good. My waitress told me it came with noodles but then no noodles came out.
