" I’d heard great things about Carrabba's, but my first visit left me feeling indifferent. The food was decent yet not as authentic as I had hoped. The Chicken Marsala was okay but tasted more Americanized. However, the service staff was friendly and attentive, which helped make up for my disappointment in the food. I might give it another try in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Carrabba's with my family and the service was top-notch! We ordered a variety of dishes, including the pasta primavera, and everything tasted fresh. However, I did feel the dessert portions were lacking for the price. Still, the overall experience was enjoyable, and I would definitely recommend it for family outings. " (*Curated Review*)

" On a busy Friday night, we managed to get a table. The staff was hustling but still managed to provide excellent service! I had the Chicken Parmigiana, which was huge and came with a side of delightful pasta. I was initially wary of the chain but was pleasantly surprised by the quality of food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't stress enough how much we love dining at Carrabba's! From the moment we walked in, the staff was welcoming. Our server recommended some delightful dishes, and I tried the Lobster Ravioli—pure indulgence! The ambiance is perfect for a date night or family dinner. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had the pleasure of dining here last week and I must say, the staff was incredibly friendly. I had the Pork Chop special which was incredibly tender and came with a side of creamy polenta. The ambiance was warm, but a bit noisy due to the crowd. I would recommend it to anyone wanting a casual yet delicious meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've visited Carrabba's multiple times, and I've noticed a fluctuation in both food quality and service. My last experience was decent; the appetizer was stellar, but the main course felt rushed, as if it was prepped too quickly. Overall, I still appreciate the consistent service from my favorite servers. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I had a wonderful dinner at Carrabba's last night! The stuffed mushrooms were to die for, and the service was extraordinary. Our waiter, Marco, was attentive without being overbearing, which made our experience all the more enjoyable. I highly recommend the Chicken Marsala; it was cooked to perfection! We left happy and full, planning our next visit. " (*Curated Review*)
