Without debating where it belongs — or whether it belongs — on roadfood.com, I’m in the "likes Carrabba’s" camp. Perhaps it’s not "authentic" (I wonder how much of what’s served even by family stores in the U.S. would be considered to be so by somebody from Italy) but the food (if you know what to order) and service are very good.

I’ll say this: When they have the bone-in N.Y. special, that’s a steak whose flavor will rival that of any fine restaurant.

The bread and olive oil/herbs is indeed a problem, a totally addicting one.
