Carrabba's Italian Grill on University Parkway offers phenomenal food with smaller portions since discontinuing pizza pre-Coronavirus. The all-black attire of the servers gives a professional look, an improvement from the previous white shirts and khaki pants. A recommended server is JP, though others are also fine. Happy Hour is a hit with friendly bartenders who remember regulars' drinks, and guests particularly enjoy the blackberry sangria. Calamari remains a favorite, along with the Italian Old Fashioned. During busy times, like graduation week, the attentive staff ensure a welcoming dining experience. The restaurant can be very crowded, but service is prompt and friendly. Guests have enjoyed dishes like the tender filet mignon, accompanied by tasty garlic spinach and generous mashed potatoes. The manager, Alex, is noted for his great advice on the menu, contributing to a welcoming atmosphere. Prices are considered reasonable, making it a place people look forward to returning to.
