i'd go with whatever was closer to where i lived... they both seem about the same to me

Olive Garden sucks compared to both.

off topic but related... cinelli's is pretty good most of the time
i would probably pick that over both choices when going for inexpensive italian

carrabba's > macaroni grill > johnny carino's > olive garden

i LOVE italian (gf's mom's whole family is 100% italian too so ) and worked at carrabba's for 2 years in charlotte too. never got tired of eating there for half off haha. (or free while working ). for a chain it doesnt get any better than that place.

Pasta Carrabba dish FTMFW.

Ive never been disappointed with a dish at 518 west in downtown raleigh either, only been 3 times tho.

oh and btw, my gf's mom who, like i said, grew up living and breathing italian cooking from the time she was a little girl likes carrabbas but none of the others i listed.
