Carrabba’s
Tonight I went to Carrabba’s for dinner tonight. I’ve been there a few times before, but now for a while. I had a simple meal, just the Eggplant Parmesan.
All meals are accompanied by fresh bread and olive oil. The bread was hot & fresh.. very nice. It came sliced which was fine, although I prefer it unsliced. The oil they use was nice, slightly spicy.
Salad comes with the meal, I got a Caesar. It was fine.. but I prefer a creamier dressing with less vinegar. It was good, but not great. If you’re a Caesar fan, and would prefer more salad, the Insalata Carrabba’s Caesar with either the grilled chicken or shrimp is a good bet.
The eggplant was fabulous… slightly charred, just enough. Also just a nice amount of cheese and breading. The accompanying Rigatoni Pomadoro was nice: flavourable and cooked nicely.
I’ve had their Lentil & Sausage Soup before, and will have it again. Nice zesty sausage. Their lasagna is on my repeat list as well.
Finally, they have a decent wine list, with some good picks.
