This is a great place. I'm not usually a big fan of chains but this is my favorite Italian restaurant in Surprise. We've had several items off the menu now and almost all have been great. There is 1 exception. The 20 Clove Chicken. The waitress warned us that it was "highly" seasoned with salt and pepper. My friend decided to order it anyway since she tends to like salty things. It was HORRIBLE and we ended up throwing half of it away. As good as most food is at Carrabbas, they should be embarrassed by this one.
