Carrabba's Italian Grill - Huntsville

Everything was cooked and seasoned well. Service was great. My husband got the steak, I chose the veal. Did not regret our decision at all! My favorite Italian in HSV so far. Only negative was the zucchini appetizer came out a little cold, we still ate them all!!

Carrabba's serves very good Italian food. I have eaten in a few different locations and never been disappointed. The entrance to this location is usually from the top deck of the parking lot. Parking is available outside the front door. The ambiance in the restaurant is enjoyable and comfortable. It is a little dark. The hostess was welcoming and friendly. On this occasion, I was by myself. I saw at the bar where there were plenty of chairs. The bartender was also the server because of my location. Service was excellent. I ordered Mama Mandella's chicken soup. It is always spicy and contains a good helping of chicken (of course), along with pasta, carrots and other vegetables. It is one of my favorite dishes here. I could easily enjoy a glass of wine and a bowl of Mama's chicken soup and leave fully satisfied. A basket of hot bread also came out with the spaghetti accompanied with olive oil and spices. Bread is always very fresh and there is plenty of it. I saved some to use with the bolognese sauce. For an entree, I ordered spaghetti bolognese. It was in a large bowl, served very hot and was, as expected, in a spicy meat sauce. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the flavor was excellent. There is a good wine list at Carrabba's and wine is available with a small or large pour or by the bottle.. There are several Italian wines available as well as American wine. Wines vary from inexpensive house wine to more desirable and more expensive wines. Some of the better wines are not available by the glass though. So, on this visit there was good food, good service, good wine and a pleasant ambiance. I do need to go back and expand my horizons though, perhaps an order of the Chicken Bryan which is also excellent in my experience.

Had to wait for a table and staff had confusion on our reservation. Our waiter was awesome!!! Manager stopped by to check on us. Food was what you expect at Carrabba’s. Kids enjoyed it and would go again.

Carrabba 's has earned it 's place as my favorite Italian restaurant; their food and service always seem Excellent and this visit lived up to that expectation. They have the best calamari IMHO; I like their crispier version better than other places. The Italian chicken soup was an excellent replacement for the minestrone soup. The bartender was our server at our nearby booth and was very attentive and even stopped to make conversation with our 5yo grandson. The Chicken Trio is always Excellent! The steak marsala is also very good. And 'you ' can never go wrong with tiramisu for dessert!

Not a very big menu, but the little amount they do have are great; especially the pear margarita.
