| Nothing beats the charm of the original Kirby location of this local chain. A wood-burning pizza oven and an open pasta kitchen anchor the warm and polished dining room. Every seat in the house seems to be spoken for and, when weather permits, diners flock to the patio or glassed-in sunroom. We never pass up the house salad with its famous garlicky Parmesan dressing, a great starter for any dish on the extensive menu. Follow-ups could include the pappardelle Campagnolo, wide ribbon pasta with Italian sausage, sweet pepper, caprino cheese and pomodoro; or the rigatoni alla Norma, with sautéed eggplant and ricotta cheese. Hearty steaks and chops please meat-lovers, and the more adventurous will like Carrabba's specialties---most notable among them the Chicken Bryan Texas, marinated, grilled and topped with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes and basil butter. If you just want a snack or can’t wait for a table, grab a seat at the hopping pasta bar and nibble on calamari with potent marinara or one of the thin-crust pizzas. |
