Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Germantown, Maryand

 

Dolores and I were guests of Carrabba’s Italian Grill in Germantown, Maryland for dinner tonight. We were there to sample the new menu items. It was like having six dinners in one evening.  Yes, we ate too much but the experience was outstanding.

Yes, you will want to try the new dishes.  It was difficult to select the best dish but the Riggtoni Marlino was my favorite. “Wood-grilled chicken, sautéed mushrooms and sundried tomatoes tossed with rigatoni in our housemade tomato cream sauce.”

Both of us enjoyed the Pollo La Scala. “Sautéed and finished with white wine, mascarpone and our roasted red bell pepper sauce.”

We were forced to make room for dessert.  A Cannoli was perfect to finish the meal. “Mini pastry shells stuffed with sweet ricotta and chocolate chip filling, topped with pistachios and powdered sugar.”

We also enjoyed a pitcher of wine that was not included with the tasting experience.

Hi Roy,

I wish we had a Carrabba's here in carlsbad, But nothing even close. El Paso is the closest place.

This sounds wonderful Roy. I love Italian (really any ethnic) food and the wood grilled chicken sounds like a tasty treat. Thanks for sharing.

Those newer dishes sound scrumptious and tempting. I usually go for a chicken dish too.

Hi Roy, We have a Carrabbas close to our home and my step son works there. We are very familiar with all their food as we have eaten our dinners from there many times. Good place to eat no question.
