Like Red Robin, Carraba's is my go-to Italian joint that I know I wont be disappointed in.  

I love their bread and the yummy oil/herbs that go with it.  I do ask for butter as well, but they always seem to bring out this frozen ball of butter.  I don't get that.

The best dish they have is their Pollo Rosa Maria.  It consists of two chicken breasts, stuff with fontina cheese and covered with a huge helping of sauteed mushrooms.  Make sure to get it with fettuccine alfredo.  It's a must!... if you don't like pasta, I dont know what to tel ya.  The combo of the two is a match made in heaven.

They have great salads and their own special house dressing.  Heads up on your ranch lovers.  they do not have ranch dressing.

As for their deserts, Im not much of a fan until they have their quarterly creme brulet.

Good food!
