About

About Carrabba's Italian Grill

Carrabba's Italian Grill was founded in 1986 by cousins Johnny Carrabba and Damian Mandola in Houston, Texas. The two grew up cooking alongside Italian family members and channeled those traditions into a restaurant concept that felt like eating in someone's home. The original Houston location quickly developed a loyal following for its wood-fired grill and scratch-made recipes drawn directly from family archives.

The chain expanded rapidly through the 1990s and was acquired by Outback Steakhouse (now Bloomin' Brands) in 1995, allowing it to grow to more than 200 locations across the United States without abandoning its made-to-order kitchen philosophy. Unlike many casual chains, Carrabba's does not use heat lamps or holding stations — each dish is cooked fresh when ordered, a commitment the brand has maintained since opening day.

Today Carrabba's remains one of the most-recognized names in casual Italian dining. The menu balances Italian-American classics like Spaghetti & Meatballs and Lasagne with wood-grilled specialties such as Chicken Bryan — a dish named after Bryan, Texas, the hometown of Damian Mandola's family — and seasonal seafood. The brand also operates a robust rewards program and offers family-size take-home meals, catering, and a curated wine and cocktail list.
