Carrabba's Italian Grill is a chain of Italian restaurants.

The chain was founded in 1986 by Johnny Carrabba and his uncle Damian Mandola, who opened the first restaurant on Kirby Drive in Houston, Texas. Soon after, a second location was opened on Woodway at Voss Streets. Both original locations are still operated by the Carrabba and Mandola families. Many of the recipes for the dishes on Carrabba's menu are those of Damian's mother Grace and his sister Rose.[citation needed] These recipes are often featured on the PBS cooking show "Cucina Sicilia," which is hosted by Carrabba and Mandola.

Today, there are currently over 200 Carrabba's Italian Grill locations located in 27 US States.[citation needed]

History

In January 1993, under a joint partnership with OSI Restaurant Partners, 10 new Carrabba's locations were opened in Houston and Florida. Then, in January 1995, OSI Restaurant Partners acquired the rights to develop the Carrabba's chain nationwide.

Chicken Bryan is one of Carrabba's Italian Grill's most ordered dishes. It consits of an 8 oz. grilled chicken breast, topped with caprino cheese, sun dried tomatoes, and a basil lemon butter sauce. It is served with a cup of homemade soup or a guest's choice of a House, Italian or Caesar salad. It is also served with the guest's choice of garlic mashed potatoes, spaghetti pomodoro, cavatappi amatriciana or the vegetable of the day. It is named after the city of Bryan, Texas where the Carrabba family settled in the United States.
