Carrabba's Italian Grill

Seriously delicious! Way better than any Olive Garden! The bread with oil and herbs that you get for free was super delicious! My boyfriend got the pork chops. I usually am not fond of pork chops - ever, but i tries his and they were to die for! I had the chicken ravioli I forget what it’s called but it was fantastic! Also the bathroom stalls were very private with full closed doors which was super cool. Will definitely be back again!

While I'm not quite sure why we've never eaten at Carabba's before - I guess we've always just veered to Bonefish Grill instead - we stopped for my daughter's birthday dinner on Friday, June 25th, as she is a fan of Italian cuisine.  We were greeted and seated promptly and courteously.  We were surprised that it wasn't too busy as it was an early Friday evening at a restaurant in Brookfield.  Carabba's has a dark, rustic Italian wine cellar vibe.  The service was friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The meal started with warm Italian bread and herbed olive oil.  For starters we ordered mozzarella sticks and fried calamari - both lightly breaded, crispy and served with a tasty marinara dipping sauce.  We had caesar and house Italian salads before the entrees arrived.  For dinner we had:  Salmon Saporito with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Rigatoni Martino, Lobster Ravioli & the Tuscan-Grilled Ribeye with Spicy Sicilian Butter and Fries.  Portions were ample, everyone enjoyed their meals and the Italian food cravings were completely satisfied.  We told the server that it was our daughter's birthday dinner.  At the end of the meal, the server presented our daughter a birthday card signed by all of the employees and a piece of Sogno Di Ciocclata with a lit candle and four forks for sharing - gratis - this was a really nice, personal touch and really made our evening at Carabba's.  Forget The Olive Garden - for Italian in Brookfield, Carabba's is where it's at.

This was our first time here and we absolutely loved it!! Everything was perfect. Nice sized portions, very flavorful food, and great service. We are not from the area, but will definitely make the road trip back just to stop here for an amazing dinner again!! I highly recommend to anyone! I had the sirloin with the garlic mashed potatoes and fettuccine Alfredo, and the best Caesar salad.

I went here tonight for a mother's day dinner. The service was great and the waitress was good. The food was tasty and hot when it came out. There was not a long wait for the food either and portions were large. I did mark one star off because a girl cleaning the table next to us dropped the olive oil off the table...the cap was off and she replaced the cap and put it back on the table. I told the server they may want to exchange it but no one did. That was pretty nasty...the next person was going to get bread and olive oil with a bit of dirt in it.

Food was good and more than enough for a meal. I ordered my main course and had to stop the waiter from leaving to order my salad. I was dining alone and at times I felt like they were rushing me out the door to get me out of my table even though they were not even half full. It's ok to check on someone a couple of times during a meal, but 5 times is a little to much.
