I am usually not a fan of chain restaurants, but Carrabba's is pretty good. I went here with a group of about 18 people for a birthday celebration. Italian restaurants are usually pretty good with large groups, so I am glad we went here. They start off the meal with some complimentary bread, which was piping hot, and some olive oil with spices to dip in. I had the calamari for an appetizer, and it was quite delicious... just the right amount of crunch! For my main meal, I had the manicotti. I thought it had a little too much cheese in it, but my cheese loving boyfriend thought it was perfect. I also had a couple of glasses of their house cabernet sauvignon, which was surprisingly delicious. All in all, I had a good experience here and the food was good. I will go back again if someone else picks it for a group gathering, but I wouldn't pick it for date night.
