Carrabbas For My Birthday

December 3, 2007

For my birthday, which was last Saturday, my boyfriend, Donnie, took me to Carrabbas Italian Grill. It was over in the Summerlin area of Las Vegas.

Right when I walked into the restaurant I could smell the aroma of Italian food. It smelt so good and inviting. The lighting was soft in the restaurant and right in front was a bar that was near the hostess station. The restaurant looked kind of small and it was a little busy but we got seated right away in a booth.

The waitress came over right away and asked what we wanted to drink and to ask if we wanted to start out with an appetizer. We decided to get the mozzarella and marinara for an appetizer. She came back with our drinks and some bread that you dipped in olive oil and herbs. I have never had this before but it was really good. The bread was nice and warm and the herbs were really good mixed in with the oil. Donnie asked the waitress to bring balsamic vinegar. He mixed that in with the oil and herbs and that was even better.

The atmosphere was very warm and quiet. Even though the restaurant was pretty packed, it wasn’t very noisy. It felt like I was in an intimate setting with Donnie even though were people all around me. The one thing I found to be very cool about the restaurant was the kitchen was open so you could see the chefs making the food. The whole kitchen was stainless steel and looked very clean. I thought that was very different from other restaurants.

I ordered the Quarto Formiaggo Ravioli. It was ravioli stuffed with for different cheeses that I don’t remember and then it was in a marinara sauce. It was really good and cheesy. Donnie ordered linguine with muscles, shrimp, and scallops in a marinara sauce. He said that it was very good too. The best part of the meal was the desert. I can’t remember what it was called but it was to die for. If you like chocolate then this it the desert for you. It was two brownies that had a chocolate mousse between them. On top was homemade whipped cream and then it was sitting in a pool of hot fudge. It was amazing. It was the perfect way to end a perfect meal.
