Carrabba's Italian Grill

Out of all the italian places here in San Antonio, I like this restaurant. The service is always good and the food always hot. Went there for a Sunday lunch and the place was hopping. The mussels in a lemon garlic butter sauce was divine. The calamari was crispy and light. Although we didn't like the homemade chicken soup...it was too salty. The pasta is always cooked aldente, never overcooked and mushy. And the portions are good. You will not leave this place hungry. The waiter maded sure we had warm bread on the table constantly and our tea was glass was never empty. Even though we were stuffed the waiter was nice enough to introduced us to the new dessert sampler trio, he was informative, friendly and provided quick service. Starters can make a great entree. Weekdays they are only open for dinner and the weekends they open around noon for lunch. It is a little pricey, but a great treat for a special occasion.

I love this place. We go every chance we get. I highly recommend the Steak Marsala with garlic mashed potatoes. The Zuccinni appi is great.

This restaurant is part of a small, family-owned chain. We've never been disappointed and always been delighted with everything we've eaten here. Although the wait-staff tends to be young, they're quite well-trained and helpful.

The bread is some of the best I've ever eaten, and the soups are always fresh, hot and flavorful. They seem to get just as much attention as the entrees - never the concoctions of yesterday's leftovers that many restaurants seem to serve.

The Italian entrees have been unfailingly delicious and well-prepared. Everything has always been served hot (cold or lukewarm food is a real peeve of mine.)

Although its not a steakhouse, Carraba's serves some of the best steak I've eaten anywhere. Always fresh, flavorful and perfectly cooked to order.

If you're having dessert, try the vanilla ice cream with the brandied cinnamon pecan sauce. Incredible. The staff have even boxed up extra sauce or loaves of the incredible bread for us when we've asked.

All in all, a model restaurant. They should be proud.

This is our extended family's favorite restaurants to go out to celebrate an event. They were able seat 15 of us on a Friday in a reasonable time after we got there. The food was the best as always and the service was tremendous. We love the herbs served with the olive oil and they have the best bread served warm. The wait for the table due to the party size is worth it.

The place is great, not expensive at all with romantic interior and understanding staff.
