We took my mom to Carrabba's for dinner for mother's day. We didn't call ahead but our wait was only 20 minutes, even though it was crowded. When we were called to be seated, the hostess asked us if we had any moms with us and when we said yes, they wished us a happy mother's day and showed us to our seat. After she handed us our menus and told us the name of our server, she presented my mom with a little bag full of treats. :)
The food was good and the portions were actually normal sized. Our appetizer of spinach dip with crab. It was delicious! For our main courses, I ordered the chicken parm with the cavatappi amatriciana. The chicken parm was good and the pasta had just a little bit of kick to it. My mom ordered the veal piccata with garlic mashed potatoes. The veal was tasty and the mashed potatoes were creamy and had the right balance of garlic. My dad ordered the Pollo Rosa maria and said it was very good. The chicken was tender and the sauce wasn't too heavy. My husband ordered the penne franco with chicken and he liked it a lot.
The service was really good and the staff was friendly. When we are in that area of town and feel like Italian food, I'm sure we'll be stopping by there again.
