CARRABBA'S: An Italian Bathroom for an Italian Grill

Rating: 3/5 Flushes
Single / Multi person: Multi
Stats: 2 toilets, 2 urinals, 1 sense of Italian hospitality
Amenities: Fake ivy
Atmosphere: Italian?
Type of dressing most likely to be found in this bathroom: Italian
Quick note on the food: Good mussel sauce.  And bread.

It's hard to believe that in my 23 years of consuming food, I've never eaten at a Carrabba's (or played Scrabble, but that's a different story for another time).  Beyond the bathroom door, you'll find your typical setup but don't be fooled, the hospitality's all in the details.  Wander your way back to the spacious handicap stall (it's ok to spoil yourself once in a while) and admire the fixed slat door. I don't know about you, but it's gotta be one of my all-time favorite kinds of slat doors.  You can see out.  But nobody can see in.  Unless they install it upside down.  In which case you should just hold it while you alert the authorities.

After doin your thing, you'll be pleasantly surprised when you reach for the tp.  Do you prefer top-feed toilet paper?  No problem, you got it.  Or do you prefer it the other way?  Aside from having a completely terrible preference in unrolling, you're in luck too.  That's right, Carrabba's took the liberty of providing you with BOTH styles of tp unrollability.  Thinking this might be just a fluke, I later checked the other stall and to my surprise, there it sat.  Another over/under combo.  Puntelli pazzo a Carrabba's.


Did your baby marsupial just mess its diaper?  Not a problem.


Finally, what Italian restaurant bathroom is complete without some fake ivy?  Throw in a naked armless statue and it's a done deal.  Plus 2 points for having ivy that's not just stenciled on the walls.  But minus points for it looking terrible.  And goodbye patriotic points altogether.
