NOW CLOSED: $50 Carrabba’s Italian Grill GC & 2 Free Mini Desserts

by

carrabba-logo

The Carrabba’s Italian Grill near us is ALWAYS busy and it looked so fancy, we were scared to take our wild children in with us. However, one Sunday morning this past winter before shopping we were in the area and decided to go ahead and try it even with the kids. We were so impressed with how warmth and the friendliest of the staff. Not sure if this is standard practice, but our server brought out dough for the kids to play with…it kept them entertained like play dough! For readers with kids, Carrabba’s offers a Bambino Menu which includes Pizza, Spaghetti, Ravioli, Chicken Breast, and Chicken Fingers priced around $5 per meal.

Carrabba’s serves cuisine based on traditional Sicilian fare with bold flavors inspired by Creole & Southern flavorings picked up by their family stepping off the boat in Louisana on their trek to Galveston, Texas. Their recipes have been passed down for four generations. Sign up for Carrabba’s Amici (friend) Club to receive recipes, cooking tips, special offers, and invites to Amici Club events.

mini-dessert-smallCarrabba’s is also introducing a new line of mini-desserts. They are smaller versions of Carrabba’s most popular desserts – Dessert Rosa, Tiramisu, Cannoli, as well as nightly specials such as Zabaglione, Chocolate Mousse, and Chocolate Espresso Mousse. My mouth is watering right now, is yours?! I love the idea of smaller portions of the best desserts are a great idea. We usually shy away from the desserts when we eat out because the portions are so huge even if you share with a friend. And these little guys are so cute – check them out to the left.

  6. We love Carrabba’s, but have not been there in a long time…ever since our son was a baby and he’s 4 now. LOL! This would be great! I would definitely order the sirloin marsala and my hubby would most likely get the chicken marsala. :) I would have the chocolate dream for dessert and I know hubby would want John Cole! :)

    rachael montgomerys last blog post..

  8. The Lobster Ravioli sound so delicious! We were at Carrabba’s in Nashville for the first time and it was so yummy!

    Caryn Bs last blog post..I Want A Wii!

  9. I would order the calamari and the lasagna and tiramisu. Matter of fact, that’s what I used to order when I worked within walking distance of Carrabba’s! I haven’t been there in two years now, but I love it and would love to take my wife and daughter there!

  11. Here’s my order! :-)
    Zucchini Fritte
    Grilled Salmon
    Tiramisú
    Sounds like a good night out to me! Yum!

  13. I love Carrabba’s!!! We have one that’s about 2 hours away so we don’t get to go very often. But that’s the ONLY place we eat when we’re there. When we go back I would order the Grilled Salmon. OMG that looks so yummy!!!!

  15. YUMMO! MOZZARELLA MARINARA and INSALATA FIORUCCI to start, followed by LOBSTER RAVIOLI for me and the TI PIACE pizza for my husband with mushrooms, sweet peppers, sundried tomato and eggplant. My husband would finish with sangria and I with a smattering of Bacinos. Thanks!

    Holly Hendersons last blog post..Stroller Giveaway!

  19. Carrabba’s is easily the best italian chain out there. In addition, it’s the best Italian you can get in Greensboro for anything approaching a reasonable price.

    Our order changes every time we’re there, because they often have seasonal specials that are awesome (occasionally, they have fresh tomatoes with fresh mozarella and that is AWESOME). If there’s nothing seasonal that tempts, we pick up the Calamari, which is always tender, flavorful and delicious. I often get the Mezzaluna, but occasionally pick up another pasta dish. My husband almost always has some form of stuffed chicken.

    The one beef I have with Carrabba’s is – oddly enough – their new desserts. Last time I was there, I wanted a Tiramisu for the table to share, and was offered instead the little layered dessert. Tiramisu is an ART! I’m sad that they’ve gone with the quickie variety and hope the old version comes back.

  24. We would like a glass of merlot and iced tea to start. We will take as much bread and olive oil as you’ll give us. They have the best seasonings. We’ll order sirloin marsala, medium rare, garlic mashed potatoes, salad with creamy parmesan house dressing. We’ll also have an order of Pasta Carrabba. We’ll be too full for dessert, but if it’s free, anything with cheesecake, chocolate, or both will be wonderful!

    Forgetfulones last blog post..Sunday Scrappin’

  26. id get the “Ciao Sicily” and the Ciao Y’all cook books :) therew are no places in my state :(

  29. We’d start off with a house salad, then a margherita pizza. It doesn’t list the mini dessert options, it says to ask the server, so something chocolatey would be nice. If we just get salads and a pizza, there’s enough left over to basically go back and get the same thing again. Thanks for the chance! mmm!

    amy purples last blog post..GIVEAWAY: The Pear Project

  30. Okay the zucchini fritte and the pasta weesie. Although for appetizers the shrimp scampi sounds wonderful too. For desert the dessert rosa. Thanks for such a great giveaway. This would be worth the drive!

  32. My order would be MANICOTTI along with a salad with Italian or Caesar Dressing. I would get a Diet Coke to drink with my order. This is a great giveaway and I really hope I win as I love Carabba’s. Thanks for the opportunity.

  35. Here’s my yummy order:

    Crab Cakes
    Pasta Carrabba
    Tiramisu

    Mmmmmmmmmm!!!! : )))

    Thanks so much for this fabulous give~away! : )))

    leahita[at]gmail[dot]com

  38. Hi, hope this comment gets through I’m still somewhat new to this whole blogging thing.
    Thanks for the great dieting post! I discovered your blog while
    looking for other people’s dieting stories. I’ve actually just started blogging about
    my diet tips – I lost over 30 pounds in a month
    with a diet I developed! get back to me about it!
    Best,
    -Joan

  40. I have your button on my blog sidebar…thanks for another chance to win..I would love to surprise hubby with this…we so need a night out for the two of us!

  42. Oh, yum! I would start out with the Antipasti Platter and then try the chicken Bryan. My mouth is watering!

  44. I love eating there, love it. I tend to get the same thing, the minestrone soup and the Pollo Rosa Maria. It is heaven in your mouth.

  45. Can you believe we have a carrabbas in our town and we have never ate there. I always thought it to be out of our budget but it looks like it would be a reasonable price and with a prize like this our family of 4 could finally try a nice food dish. My 12 year old would choose the calamari as he loves seafood. Sirloin Marsala for myself, for my husnand Pollo Rosa Maria and my 16 year old daughter Chicken Parmesan. Ok now that my mouth is watering and I’m starving send the card my way please.
    Thank you…
    Happy Holiday Season…

    camper223[at]live[dot]com

  46. I would start off with crabcakes and calamari. I would then have Insalata Carrabba. For my entree I would order the grilled salmon. For desert I would have a piece of tiramisu.

  49. I would start with crab cakes and then move on to the Mezzaluna. I would finish up with Tirmisu. Thanks for the giveaway.

  50. Let’s see-so many yummy things to choose from! I would order the Spiedino di Mare and the mini desserts-both look delicious!

  53. We also have a Carrabba’s near us …… but have never eaten there. This would give us a great opportunity to finally try it out :)

  55. I’m a new subscriber via email.

    Since I’ve already placed my order, I wanted to comment here on Carrabba’s.
    Carrabba’s traditional Italian minestrone takes a FULL day of preparation! There are 24 different fresh ingredients. This soup is served the day after it is made so the flavors have had time to meld.
    Gosh! I can just taste it now.

  56. Lets see…Calamari, then lasagna, shrimp scampi for my fiance, pizza looks good too(never had it there), then chocolate dream for dessert. I think we need to take a trip over- your making me hungry. I hope I win- it would be a nice treat for my fiance. Thanks for the giveaway.

    Saving Money for a Weddings last blog post..Olay Offer- FREE Products

  60. I love to eat Carrabba’s. I would get salad, Lasagne, and the Chocolate Dream for dessert. Oh, that sounds so good. Not sure what my wonderful husband would order, but I know it would be delicious.
    Thank you for this very yummy giveaway.

  67. I would start with the Fried Calamari with the lemon dipping sauce not the maranara. THen I would have the Lobster ravioli. yum yum!!!

  70. I would order the Chcken Marsala and for dessert I’d have Tiramisú.
    Yummm

    clenna in NHs last blog post..Search for Girl Ends Tragically

  71. I love Carraba’s. I would order:

    Calamari
    Minestone Soup
    Lobster Ravioli

    Oh, and I must order a glass of White Zinfandel – Copper Ridge

    Absolutely HEAVEN!

  73. I love Carrabas!!! My favorite is the Chicken Marsala with the Sogno di Cioccolata for dessert. One time I went there just for the dessert…I ordered chicken cesear salad and only ate a little to save room for dessert. When I ordered my dessert, they told me they were out for the night! I thought I might cry!

  77. Carrabba’s has a delicious looking menu, not to mention how much my husband loves Italian food! Here are my picks:

    Appetizer: Either the Shrimp Scampi or the Antipasti Platter
    Main Course: Chicken Gratella
    Dessert: SOGNO DI CIOCCO LATA

    Whew! Sounds like a really rich meal!

    Jennae @ Green Your Decors last blog post..Simply Artistic: Wool Accent Pillows by modernwool

  79. Woowee – what an awesome place to go eat and to eat for FREE – now that would be a treat indeedy!!

    Here is my night out with hubby:
    Start off with Calamari. I could just eat a whole plate of Calamari and be perfectly happy.
    Then Chicken Bryan for him and Lobster Ravioli for me.
    Then we sit and talk a few minutes and let things settle a minute before we finish up with Chocolate Dream that we share with a cup of coffee.

    Yum, yum – I can taste it now.
    Thanks for having the giveaway!

  80. Here is my Carrabba’s order:

    Antipasti – Calamari – 8
    Zuppe & Insalate – Mama Mandola’s Sicilian Chicken Soup (Cup) – 3
    Pasta Specialties – Mezzaluna – 12
    Vino – Pino Noir, Estancia Pinnacles – 16
    Dolci – Sogno Di Cioccolata – 6.5

    I’m not sure I know what anyone else will be ordering – “Smiles”

  83. Let’ see – I am going with the Crab Cakes, Pollo Rosa Maria with a house salad, and the Chocolate Dream for dessert!

  88. Ooh, this would be great! We would start with Calamari as a appetizer. Then for me the Manicotti and for my husband the Chicken Trio. Thanks for the chance to win!

  90. I’d love to win this to take my wife out to dinner because with a 7 mo. old it’s crazy hard to have a nice night out. We’d probably order: Bruschette to start, then Chicken Bryan for her and Chicken Parm for me and end it all with Tiramasu.

    thanks

  99. We have one down the street but we haven’t tried it yet. When I go, I’m going to get:
    MOZZARELLA MARINARA
    CHICKEN PARMESAN
    SOGNO DI CIOCCOLATA
    “Chocolate Dream ”

    Yum!

  100. Carrabbas is the FIRST place my husband wanted to go when he came home from Iraq. I know he’d go for his usual yummy lasagne after having the mozarella marinara as an appetizer. I love to try something new each time I visit, so I’d try the Veal Picatta. We both love chocolate, so the Chocolate Dream would be a perfect ending to a most delicious meal!

    ScottsHelpers last blog post..Handmade Christmas Gifts: Felt Puppets

  104. This would be awesome to win..hubby and I haven’t had a date in years…really, years!

    Sammies last blog post..$50 Carrabba’s Italian Grill Gift Card Giveaway

  111. Oh my! Now I’ve gone through this menu and will have to be satisfied with a bologna sandwich for tonight! How painful!

    I can almost guarantee Ryan would get the Sirloin Marsala and ask for a cup of whatever the soup of the day was and I’d have no choice but to go with the Manicotti and a good caesar salad.

    My mouth is watering just thinking about the Manicotti…

    Desert would be the Chocolate Dream.

    Lisa (casil3229@aol.com)

  234. I’m also a subscriber. Thanks for the additional entry.

    Appetizer: Antipasti Platter
    Entree: Sirloin Marsala served with garlic mashed potatoes and a cup of Mama Mandola’s Sicilian Chicken Soup

    Emily D.s last blog post..So far behind…

  238. My favorite at Carrabba’s is the Tagliarini Picchi Pacchiu – only partly because it’s very fun to say.

    joannas last blog post..Weather Confession
