Wow! You have to try this place. The atmosphere was great. Service was great. Food was excellent. I wish I took more pictures of our food, I was too busy enjoying everything. We start it with an appetizer, fried calamari and shrimp what pepperoncini and marinated sauce we had the Polo Rosa Maria chicken breast stuffed with prosciutto and fontina cheese with a mushroom basil butter sauce served with fettuccine alfredo. It was delicious! Also had the spadino de Marie grilled shrimp and scallops with a lemon butter sauce served with fettuccine alfredo that was also delicious. I suggest you give them a try. You decide

We just had to try out the Original Carrabba’s. Their service and atmosphere was impeccable. We felt so welcomed there and the food was wonderful! The minestrone soup and salad was delicious. Our drinks were great! I loved the warm bread with its seasoned olive oil. The Chicken Bryan Texas was amazing! The goat cheese gave that great flavor. The Cappelletti was tasty that we finished our plates lol We even ordered cannolis and were very delectable. This was a wonderful experience.

First time here at Carrabba's on Kirby, and it did not disappoint. You feel welcome from the greeter at the moment you walk in the door. Went there for lunch with some friends, and I had the chicken parmesan, which comes with either soup or salad. I chose the salad with Parmesan cheese dressing. The chicken parmesan was flavorful, tender, and beautifully presented, making it even more appetizing. The service was terrific. Our server came over to refill our water cups often and was attentive, promptly removing used dishes. There is valet parking at the restaurant entrance, or one can self-park in the free parking garage across Branard St. I will be going back to try other dishes.

Carrabba’s meat ravioli is made daily and veal piccata were great! They gave us a generous portion of tiramisu which was very tasty.

Excellent Italian food all around, from the fresh baked bread, to the Ministroni Soup, to the Cannalloni, to the Cannoli. Everything was great! The wait staff were helpful, friendly, and funny. Couldn't recommend more.

We love Carrabbas because of the incredible service, care from the wait staff, quality of the food, and speed of lunch service to get in and out. We ordered the Tuesday special of Ossobucco. Great dish, a lot of meat. My wife and I shared it along with a salad. Bread service was phenomenal. It’s getting pricey but we thoroughly enjoyed our quick lunch date. Alvaro, our waiter was incredible patient with us and very attentive, constantly checking on us. He took good dare of us, like most other times we’ve been here for meals.

Another fantastic night at Kirby Carrabba‘s. Johnny is the king of Houston restaurants. Not only Carrabba‘s but Mia‘s and Grace’s too! (American comfort food: burgers, amazing salads and the best fried chicken, among many other selections). They offer the Carrabbas standard of perfection in service, location and amazing food. Cindy runs Carrabba‘s like a well-oiled machine. She’s a little energizer bunny! She never slows down and never shows the stress. The biggest smile and friendliest greeting always. We love Cindy! She definitely adds to the diner’s experience. The catering department is also next level fabulous! I’ve hosted many parties; from larger parties of 50 in the wine room to more intimate dinner parties of 10-12 in the blue room. They make entertaining effortless. Love working with your catering team! Last night’s highlights: The calamari with two dipping sauces is a must. Their bread and seasoned oil, another must. It arrived hot with a crispy Crust and soft interior. We are carb-conscious girls, but could not stop eating the bread lol! I had the famous chicken soup which always hits, and mussels. Delicious! My friends had the house salad with their delectable creamy Parmesan dressing and shrimp with fettuccine Alfredo. All plates were cleaned. ‘Nuf said Thank you Johnny, Rosie, Cindy and all! See you very soon. PS: I broke down and ordered a peach Bellini last night. I’m not a sugar girl, but tasted my friend’s drink and couldn’t resist. Holy crap, as good as I remembered! If you like peach Bellinis, I highly recommend trying theirs!
