Service was great, really friendly. I noticed the manager walking around making sure everyone was having a good time and greeting the guests which is always nice to see. But the food here is just eh. It's a chain, so didn't have high expectations to begin with, but they still disappointed in the flavor department. A little pricey considering the food quality. Went with the shrimp & scallop linguine alla vodka, which boasted "now bigger shrimp and scallops." They definitely are huge, but you only get 3 of each. The sauce was completely unmemorable. Didn't eat much of the pasta. The complimentary bread is great on it's own when it's nice and warm, but seemed like a low quality olive oil they give you to dip it in. Really strange almost chemical flavor.
Their promotion where they give you a free spaghetti/meatball to-go dinner when you order a chicken dish seems insane, but it's definitely a good deal for the customer. My boyfriend loved his chicken marsala and the free spaghetti.
Wouldn't come back to a Carraba's again. Only went for a birthday dinner.
