Carrabba’s Italian Grill or simply known as Carrabba, is a chain of restaurants based in Tampa, Florida. They specialize primarily on Italian-American dishes and is currently owned by Bloomin’ Brands. As of December 2015, Carrabba already has 247 locations.

Carrabba was founded by John Charles Carrabba III in December 1986 together with Damian Mandola, his uncle. They opened the first branch in Houston, Texas on Kirby Drive. Another location was then opened in the Woodway corner Voss Street. The restaurant became popular and was then named “Rosie Carrabba’s” to honor Rose, Damian’s sister.

The Carrabba family was still the proprietors of the two locations during this time.

In the first quarter of 1993, Outback Steakhouse Inc. formed a partnership with Carrabba’s. Ten locations were opened in Florida and Houston. A couple of years after, OSI purchased the rights for Carrabba to open locations around the globe.

The menu of the restaurant included recipes from Damian’s mother and sister. A cooking show named Cucina Sicilia on the PBS channel featured these recipes.
