Win a $50 GC to Carraba’s for Dal Cuore Nights

This giveaway is closed. Congratulations to the winner, Catherine from Thrifty Maven! Enjoy your dinner at Carrabba’s!

How would you like to have a very special Valentine’s Day dinner BEFORE Valentine’s Day? If you’ve never tried to go out to eat on that day, let me tell you, it’s INSANE. And this year, Valentine’s Day is on a Saturday. It’s hard to enjoy a romantic dinner when you stood in line for 90 minutes to get a table!

Carraba’s has the solution, their Dal Cuore Nights celebration. The Dal Cuore Nights celebration includes a Prix Fixe Menu (Less than $20 per person) and $10 off any bottle of wine, including Ruffino’s Dal Cuore di Carrabba wine, a limited-edition baby Super Tuscan created exclusively for Carrabba’s. The prix fixe menu includes an appetizer, entreé and mini-dessert. Featured entreés include Carrabba’s favorites such as Sirloin Marsala, Chicken Bryan (shown in the image to the left), Chicken Marsala, Polo Rosa Maria and Grilled Salmon with the sauce of the day.

Topping off the evening, guests on February 11 and 12 will receive a special Dal Cuore Valentine’s Day Card featuring a “heartfelt” quote. One lucky quote recipient will win a romantic Italian escape for two including 7 night cruise and airfare. Beginning Sunday, March 1, 2009, the winning quote will be revealed on Carrabba’s website at www.carrabbas.com, where complete details are available.

I love eating at Carraba’s. My absolute favorite dish is the Pasta Weesie, which is Shrimp sautéed in a garlic, lemon butter, and white wine sauce with sautéed mushrooms and scallions, served over fettuccine alfredo.  YUM.

WIN IT:  I’ve got one $50 gift certificate to Carraba’s to give away, and I highly recommend you use it either Feb. 11 or 12 during Dal Cuore Nights to get the most bang for your buck.  So that the sponsor can mail it in time, I’m ending the giveaway this Friday, so enter now!

  56. Tina Castrellon says:

    We have had a Carrabba in our city for a couple of years now but we have never tried it. I have heard that it is a bit expensive but my husband and I are always willing to pay good $$ for a good meal. It is very hard to find a good restaurant where u aren’t simply paying for the “atmosphere” but actually for a great meal. Currently we frequent Olive Garden but we would love to have another option.
