Carrabba’s Italian Grill released new special spring recipes this month and is preparing for graduation season and holidays like Mother’s Day and Father’s Day with a gift card reward offer.
“With the new quarter, we want to give people a new variety for spring,” says Miguel DeJesus, assistant partner. “We have new flatbread pizzas. They are not huge, but are good to snack on.
The new flatbread pizza appetizer costs $6.50 and is prepared using the restaurant’s house-made pizza dough. The dough is topped with extra-virgin olive oil, grated Romano and mozzarella cheeses and the customer’s choice of bacon and caramelized onion or spinach and goat cheese.
For those who can’t decide what they want to try, The Damian is a sampler platter with a little bit of everything, including two shrimp and two scallops from the Spiedino di Mare, a 4-ounce portion of grilled salmon, three pieces of lobster ravioli and the vegetable of the day.
One of the new specials that is bound to be a house favorite because of its traditional bold flavors and roasted garlic cream sauce is the Pasta Fiorentina, with cavatappi pasta tossed in the restaurant’s Fiorentina sauce and topped with grilled chicken, prosciutto, tomatoes and Romano cheese. For dessert, the restaurant’s Limoncello Bread Pudding is back, with cubed brioche bread soaked in a heavy cream custard, vanilla bean, limoncello, eggs and sugar that is baked and served with vanilla ice cream and limoncello simple syrup.
