Overview
Carrabba's Italian Grill was founded in Houston by Johnny Carrabba and Damian Mandola in December of 1986. Both Johnny and Damian have extensive restaurant experience and belong to one of Houston's most successful restaurant families. Many of the recipes on our menu are those of Damian's mother Grace and sister Rose. Damian has preserved the Italian authenticity of Carrabba's food by traveling the world in search of unique Italian dishes and by taking numerous trips to his grandparents' native Italy.

After many travels to the Houston area, Carrabba's caught the attention of Aussie-themed Outback Steakhouse, Inc. owners. A joint venture partnership was formed in January of 1993. Under the joint partnership, 10 locations were opened in Houston and in Florida. In January, 1995, Outback Steakhouse, Inc. acquired the rights to develop Carrabba's nation wide. There are currently over 200 Carrabba's Italian Grill locations.
Culture
The success of Carrabba's is the result of putting our Carrabbamicos (employees), customers, purveyors, neighbors and partners first. We believe when we take care of Our People, then the institution of Carrabba's will take care of itself. These Principals and Beliefs determine how we do our jobs and conduct our business every day. One of our Principles is Quality. You can be proud working for a company that meticulously prepares food from scratch each day, using only the finest ingredients and who tailors the customers experience to meet their needs, not ours. Hospitality is critical to the Italian culture and at Carrabba's taking care of guests is our number one goal. We want our customers to feel like part of our family. Our Carrabbamicos play a vital role in upholding our standards and creating an environment of genuine concern for our customers.
Diversity
A Culture of Diversity
Carrabba's Italian Grill is an inclusive company. We have found that talent and ambition are qualities found in people of every race, color, sex, age, religion, national origin, marital status and disability. We draw strength from the special kind of energy that comes when people of diverse backgrounds work together for a common goal. We also never forget to have fun while pursuing that goal!

Our Doors Are Open
Carrabba's could not have succeeded without this spirit of individuality and inclusion. It is also essential to our future growth and success. Inclusion in our own company of restaurants results from respecting each other's values and unique differences. We have an open and comfortable working environment where all employees are appreciated. Motivation and productivity are high and fun is enjoyed throughout the restaurant.

Inclusion gives everyone - from our valued customers to our purveyors, to our neighborhood communities, to Carrabbamicos at every level - the freedom to be themselves. It also means providing everyone with the opportunity to participate in our success.
