Chicken MarsalaIn most italian restaurants, chicken marsala is sautéed. But here at carrabba’s, we grill it to lock in the flavor. Hot off the wood-fired grill, the chicken is topped w/ mushrooms, prosciutto & our delicious lombardo marsala wine sauce. We source the wine in our marsala wine sauce from the lombardo winery, the only family-owned marsala producer in italy. Since 1881, they’ve been making the best marsala wine in the region. Their secret is aging the marsala in oak barrels for a year, which is longer than most producers
Sirloin MarsalaYou won’t find sirloin marsala just anywhere. But at carrabba’s, we love it! First we wood-grill our juicy USDA choice sirloin to perfection. Then we top it w/ mushrooms, prosciutto & our beloved lombardo marsala wine sauce. If you’ve had our popular chicken marsala, this dish is a great opportunity to enjoy that delicious marsala flavor in a new way. If you haven’t, now’s the time to try

Italian ClassicsThis dish features two of our co-founder’s favorites, chicken parmesan & lasagne. Because we know how difficult it can be to choose between two tastes as delicious as these, we’ve made it easy to enjoy them both at once first, taste why our chicken parmesan is like no other. Juicy, tender chicken hand coated w/ mama mandola’s homemade breadcrumbs then topped w/ freshly prepared pomodoro sauce & mozzarella & romano cheeses. Then take a bite of our classic lasagne. A generations old favorite first enjoyed by the ancient greeks, it’s been perfected here at carrabba’s. Our homemade lasagne offers sheets of fresh pasta stuffed w/ plenty of rich & delicious cheese & topped w/ our made-from-scratch signature marinara sauce
Chicken BryanChicken bryan is one of our most famous dishes & is named in honor of the texas town where the carrabba’s family settled after arriving from sicily. This signature dish consists of some of our favorite ingredients & grilling techniques passed down in the carrabba family, like mr. c’s special grill baste. Try this uniquely delicious combination of wood-grilled chicken topped w/ goat cheese, sundried tomatoes & our hand-prepared basil lemon butter sauce
Spiedino Di MareFeel transported to the italian coast w/ our spiedino di mare. Enjoy your choice of wood-grilled shrimp or sea scallops, coated w/ olive oil & breadcrumbs before grilling to add flavor & keep the shrimp & scallops juicy. Topped w/ our lemon butter sauce, this is seafood unlike any you’ve ever experienced.

Shrimp, Sea scallops
Pollo Rosa MariaThis is one of co-founder damian mandola’s favorite dishes. It was inspired by a dish made famous in valdosta, italy, a town known for its special recipe veal chop stuffed w/ prosciutto & fontina cheese. Our version combines that delicious recipe w/ some of rose carrabba’s favorite tastes. Enjoy wood-grilled chicken breast stuffed w/ fontina cheese & prosciutto, then topped w/ mushrooms & rose’s favorite basil lemon butter sauce. So inspiring
Grilled ChickenBasted w/ olive oil & herbs
Filet Fiorentina9 oz. USDA choice center-cut tenderloin
Stuffed Pasta
LasagneIt’s believed that lasagne came from the greek word "laganon", a flat sheet of pasta cut into strips. At carrabba’s lasagne means that & much more. Our lasagne is made by hand in each of our restaurants using only fresh pasta sheets, our homemade marinara sauce, just-grated ricotta, mozzarella & romano cheeses & the finest, freshest herbs. It’s layer upon layer of deliciousness
Lobster RavioliRavioli w/ tender maine lobster in a white wine cream sauce
Signature Pasta
Tag Pic PacIn sicily, picchi pacchiu sauce is what cooks make for a quick tomato sauce w/ minimum cooking. At carrabba’s it gets the same attention as any of our delicious sauces. Like all our sauces, our picchi pacchiu sauce is made from scratch w/ crushed tomatoes, garlic, extra virgin olive oil & fresh basil. When finished, it is poured over fresh, bronze-cut tagliarini pasta imported from italy. We choose tagliarini for its porous texture, which makes the sauce stick to it perfectly. Which we love, because you don’t want to leave any of this delicious sauce to waste
Spaghetti & MeatballsA classic for a reason. Enjoy hand-prepared meatballs served over a bowl of perfectly cooked spaghetti & made-from-scratch pomodoro sauce. These aren’t just any regular meatballs. For 25 years, we have been hand-rolling meatballs & continue to do so in all of our restaurants. Why? This technique ensures each meatball is perfectly light & well blended w/ the right consistency every time. The result is incredibly flavorful meatballs that make this everyday dish anything but. What’s not to love
Linguine PescatoreEnjoy a taste of the italian coast w/ our linguine pescatore. This uniquely delicious combination is born from italian tradition. It starts w/ fresh linguine, the traditional pasta accompaniment to the seafood aplenty in this dish. And it’s finished w/ hand-prepared marinara sauce. Marinara got it’s name from the italian word for fishermen, “marinaio,” as fishermen would make sauces like this on board ship to complement their seafood. It’s still the perfect complement today. Taste it for yourself w/ a delicious bowl of freshly made linguine, juicy shrimp, sea scallops & mussels tossed in our spicy hand-prepared marinara sauce
