Carrabba's Italian Grill

The service was great. And the food was wonderful. The waitresses were so prompt and very friendly. Very nice and friendly atmosphere. I’ve never had a bad experience at Carrabba’s.

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.

Food and flavor is exordinary. Service is top notch. Highly recommend this place for safe dining. They block middle tables for following covid protocols.

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.
