Beverage Program Score
The editorial take
The beverage program at Carrabba's Italian Grill leans on a broad signature cocktail list and a wine list organized by seven style categories. Named drinks include the Hugo Spritz, Amalfi Margarita, and Wood-Fire Old Fashioned, with seasonal additions like the Limoncello Martini and Cinnamon Apple Sangria. Wine formats span by-the-glass, 9oz, split, pitcher, and bottle, and a Paso Robles-themed dinner pairs four courses with specific wines.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Amalfi Margarita, built on Código 1530 Blanco tequila, Italicus, house-made basil syrup, and a savory salt herb rim. For wine, the DAOU Cabernet Sauvignon is poured by the glass at $14.99 and paired with sirloin in the fall specials.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Guests who want a recognizable cocktail list with named spirits and modifiers, and wine drinkers who appreciate a list sorted by style with multiple pour sizes. The Free Spirits section gives non-drinkers a dedicated set of options rather than a single afterthought.
- When should I go?
- The recurring 4-course Paso Robles wine dinner, priced at $60 per person excluding tax and gratuity, is a specific draw for a seated, paired evening.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails range from $5.99 to $12.99, with most signature drinks around $11.99 to $12.99. Wine by the glass runs from $7.99 to $19.99, and bottles span $36 to $104. Non-alcoholic Free Spirits cocktails are $5.99 each.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A wine list sorted into seven style categories, from Bubbly & Delicate to Bold & Balanced Cabernet Sauvignons, plus a 1-liter 'Pour with Friends' Caymus offering and a dedicated Free Spirits section with three named non-alcoholic cocktails.
