Eat, Drink, Be Pretty - Chef Damian Mandola
Carrabba’s Italian Grill was founded in Houston in December of 1986 by Damian Mandola and his nephew Johnny Carrabba. Both Damian and Johnny have extensive restaurant experience and belong to one of Houston’s most successful restaurant families. Many of the recipes on the menu are authentic, and belong to Damian’s mother Grace Mandola. Damian has preserved the originality of Carrabba’s by traveling extensively to his grandparents’ native Italy and through out the United States, in search of unique Italian dishes. This attention to detail and willingness to offer high levels of customer service led directly to the success of Carrabba’s restaurants.
