    Carrabba’s is my FAVORITE place to eat. I go there every year for my birthday. This year was my 70th and my kids held a birthday party for me in the function room. We also had my son’s wedding rehersal party there. My favorite dish is the chicken trio and I LOVE their fresh hot bread. I recommed Carrabba’s to everyone.
