10. Carrabba's Italian Grill

The Wine Dinner is evidently a monthly happening but this was my first. It was fabulous and very reasonably priced! I just finished making my reservation for October. I have eaten at Carrabba's for years now, albeit in different cities and different states. I have found the food to be very consistent and the staff are always competent and friendly. When I was working and out of state I would sit at the bar because there were TVs and friendly people. The bartenders were always knowledgeable about the wines and mixed drinks. They have the very best bread and seasoned oil for dipping! Be careful not to fill up on bread because the best is yet to come. I have tried most everything on their menu, some items no longer on the menu but can still be provided. They offer a great Happy Hour with drinks and appetizers. They DO know how to fry calamari! Nothing is worse than overfried calamari but you don't have to worry at Carrabbias. I cannot recommend a single dish because I think I have had them all and they are all terri!fic.

Many restaurants want to claim to maintain the same quality and items on their menus. Not only has Deanoâs been able to accomplish this, new items have been added to augment the older favorites. I donât live in the U.S. and return every summer, Deanoâo is a must visit for my family. I got out of my comfort zone this last visit and enjoyed one of the best cheese burgers Iâve eaten in many a years. By the way my comfort zone at Deanoâs is any pizza they create.

We had not been here in a year or so due to the uncomfortable chairs; though we often stop at Cafe JoJo's (Owner Brian Blanchard's restaurant in his home town named after his mother) in Morgan City on our way to New Orleans. The first thing I noticed when we walked in was the new chairs. Now we will want to eat here more often and linger.As usual, the food was good and consistent. The duck breast salad and oyster spaghetti were delish, as was the spinach and tasso soup. I found the caprese salad had too much Italian dressing on it; would have been much better with none.

Make up your own pizza from a large selection of toppings and sauces, cafeteria style. Generous serving, individual pizza. Ask for the finishes at the pickup. My fave is pesto. Quick friendly service. Pizza is done in only about 15 minutes, and delicious.

We were returning to LA from TX and stopped here midway for dinner based on other TA reviews. We were with another couple, and all of us enjoyed our dinner tremendously. Service was friendly and efficient, and the ambiance was also pleasant. I was tired of heavy vacation dining, so I opted for the Eggplant Parmigiana and my husband the Veal Parmigiana. The other couple enjoyed their pizzas and the waiter obliged them with take-home boxes when they could not finish their dinners. Entrees included salad. The wine list was extensive and good as well. I had only one problem with this establishment. It was a little hard to find because it's set way back from the road in a small shopping center (thank God for Google Maps), and we missed it the first time. If you've never been there and are following the software, there is a "Chicken Salad" restaurant with a huge sign at the edge of the shopping strip. Turn in there, and head straight back to Antoni's. You'll be glad you did!Thank you so much for reviewing your experience, and for helping direct future diners to the restaurant! The Oil Center is a historic yet somewhat maze-like area and we appreciate that you made the effort to find us even after passing us up. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you! We hope you completed your journey home safely and that you'll look us up again next time you're in the area.

I was looking for something simple to eat without a lot of carbs, so I tried the Cheeseburger Salad. I was so pleasantly surprised when I tasted it! The burger was delicious. Also, the service was great. We had a very large group and they managed to meet all of our needs and keep us happy. They set us up in the back corner out of the way and it worked great. Thanks to Ariel and Heather for great service.
