Going on a date with a girl who likes Italian. She likes both of these restaurants equally so I'm torn. Macaroni Grill takes reservations, Carrabbas does the call ahead.

If you had to choose between these two, which would you choose?

yeah


you should just go ahead and set your mouth on fire

1/2/2008 5:06:41 PM

ragazzi's sounds good but I'm in Winston Salem. so that's kinda out of the picture

1/2/2008 5:11:12 PM

pass on both, head over to Bella Monica by Char-Grill.

1/2/2008 5:11:37 PM

If you are in Winston then Vincenzos should be your only option.

1/2/2008 5:12:10 PM

carino's

1/2/2008 5:13:09 PM

mac grill/carrabbas are pretty much the same in my eyes... they're both way better than olive garden but maggianos is better than all

1/2/2008 5:19:17 PM

carrabbas

1/2/2008 5:20:03 PM

^^Yeah I thought about Vincenzo's too but the other two are a lot closer to her house

1/2/2008 5:20:42 PM

ok so far it looks like carrabbas is in the lead

1/2/2008 5:21:30 PM

carrabbas.

1/2/2008 5:26:28 PM

carrabbas has been horrible every time i've been. their food is too greasy and oily...

mac grill is better.

1/2/2008 5:27:01 PM

picollo italia in cameron village is very good

1/2/2008 5:27:30 PM

TOO BAD YOU CAN"T READ

1/2/2008 5:29:57 PM

ick. neither.

1/2/2008 5:31:45 PM

i think it's a wash

1/2/2008 5:51:00 PM

carrabbas.

1/2/2008 5:52:20 PM

Carrabbas, but not by a huge margin.

1/2/2008 5:52:33 PM

carrabbas is a little bit more expensive.

"picollo italia"

But if I am going for a chain...Magiannos family style is the way to go.

1/2/2008 5:55:11 PM

Obviously, you can't read, either.

1/2/2008 5:56:46 PM

^^we did that the other night and could only eat less than half of our food.... but it was SO good

1/2/2008 5:57:34 PM

Neither.

wonder

bread

wop.

1/2/2008 5:58:38 PM

I agree. Maggiano's FTW!!

1/2/2008 5:59:46 PM

maggianos is pretty damned good

1/2/2008 6:01:08 PM

I do not believe there is a Maggiano's in Winston-Salem (where the OP is), folks. It is much better than the rest though.

The one time I went to Picolla Italia, I wasn't impressed at all. Based on some of these responses, I may have to give it another chance...

"ragazzi's in cary"

no insult to anyone's taste

but ragazzi's is kinda like olive garden

I mean, it's about as italian as taco bell is mexican

same here

went once, not going back

1/2/2008 6:28:55 PM

Carrabbas, mostly due to the bread

1/2/2008 6:38:08 PM

carrabba's

1/2/2008 6:41:24 PM

Nina Ristorante for Italian.

1/2/2008 6:43:15 PM

This wasn't a choice but I would go Olive Garden over either of the 2 you named...

1/2/2008 6:58:24 PM

i don't know if the people saying mac grill is better lick their own assholes for an appetizer, but if a gun was to my head and I had to choose, Carrabbas is far and away the better choice.

1/2/2008 7:15:46 PM

carrabas because of the real trees and bushes on the roof
