  Our Outback Steakhouse gift cards can also be used at Carrabbas! So lets give it a try!Om: I had NEVER eaten at a Carrabbas before, and I had heard some good things here and there. Service Met Expectations Service was solid and the waitress has good energy and recommendations. We were seated immediately and our food came out in a timely manner with no mistakes made. Ambiance Met Expectations The restaurant was decorated a bit for the holidays and had a cozy feel inside. Its not that much different than what you might experience at an Olive Garden or a similar restaurant, but thats not a bad thing. Neat that we could see where the food was being cooked, and the restaurant was clean.Food Slightly Below Expectations The beginning bread was fine, although nothing out of the ordinary. Really enjoyed the Caesar salad that came with the meal, might have been my favorite thing that I had that evening, with enough dressing to give it some taste without being overbearing. The entre itself, the giant meatball, was a LOT of food to digest! The meatball was tasty, but it wasnt a true meatball to me, as it had some kind of crust on the outside, where I would have preferred a true meaty meatball. Still tasty. The macaroni was cooked well, I would have preferred a more normal sauce instead of the spicy kind they used. The dessert, the chocolate dream, was outstanding and presented well, with the brownie thick and rich, and I loved the contrast of the chocolate mousse and whipped cream. Outstanding.Value Slightly Below Expectations Its a bit more expensive than what I would have liked, and it burned through almost $50 worth of gift cards, but at the same time we got a LOT of food. I left absolutely stuffed, and Nom had a lot of leftovers. Wish the food itself was just a bit more solid, the large portions is what saved it.Overall, it was a nice experience with my wonderful Nom and happy that I had gift cards to use, but I left thinking that everything was just ok. The dessert was really good, but everything else can be duplicated for less at other chain Italian restaurants. Glad we went, just not someplace where I would find myself craving to head to again.Nom: This was a good experience! The place is clean and bright, decorated slightly for the holidays. Our waitress was very exuberant! Which can be good or bad depends on how much someones energy level affects you. The place is very open and you can see where they prepare your food so if you follow our reviews you know that gets you bonus points from me. I had a kind of create your own pasta dish and it was pretty good, lots and lots of leftovers which was great because I just heated it up that night! Ok the dessert was the best part of this trip! WOW!!! I was just going to have a bite but I think I ate halfWay too expensive for what got, but still a good new experience with my handsome love!

  Well THAT was disappointing. On a Sunday evening, Carrabba’s delivered mediocre food with mediocre service at a premium price. For the money, there are better casual Italian places around town that are much more memorable.
