"Carrabba’s may be a household name today, but the original restaurant, which opened nearly 40 years ago on Kirby Drive, is a Houston institution. Along with a well-rounded menu of antipasti, pasta, pizzas, and steaks, the restaurant is known for its excellent service and lively bar. Kick off a meal with the Carrabbellini, a playful take on a traditional peach bellini, and then settle in with a heaping bowl of linguine and clams or chicken cappelletti." - Brittany Britto Garley
