Carrabba's is my absolute favorite chain restaurant. It has been years since I have eaten in one, only because i moved 3 years ago to an area where the nearest one is 3 hours away. On my Columbus trip, my family decided to come and eat at Carrabba's because we so missed eating at this chain restaurant. So glad we did! Firstly, we received excellent service like you expect from Carrabba's. We only waited a few minutes to be seated and we put in our drink order with the waitress. My brother got a beer, while my mother and I both ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio. We ordered two appetizers: meatballs and ricotta as well as shrimp scampi. The meatballs were tender and flavorful. The shrimp scampi is to die for. I could just eat that appetizer as my meal, and I was seriously considering it when we first were looking at the menu. We also of course got the delicious complimentary bread that you dip it into olive oil. I love olive oil and bread, so we certainly asked for more than one of those. My brother ordered a caesar salad, while my mother and I both got bowls of soup. She got the Sicilian chicken soup, while I had the spicy lentil. They both enjoyed their choices, I absolutely loved mine. It really was spicy and it warmed me up considering it had been a day in the 20s. Our main course selections were as follows: My brother got the fettuccini weesie, my mother got lobster ravioli, while i ordered two pork chops in marsala sauce and mashed potatoes. The food was perfectly done! By the time we finished, we were stuffed. We had no room left for dessert and it was certainly difficult to walk out of the restaurant. I wish there was a Carrabba's closer to home! read more
