While Johnny Carrabba is one of Houston’s most successful restaurateurs, his namesake Kirby Drive restaurant has achieved no greater accomplishment than being the location where Johnny met the woman who would become his bride. “He left a sticky note with his number to call if we ever needed to make a reservation,” recounts Randi, who’d dropped into the original Carrabba’s to dine with a business associate. She called the number on the note, they fell madly in love, Johnny proposed (with, adorably, a sticky note under the ring box on the table of their favorite New York restaurant), and one fine fall day, the pair joined 450 of their nearest and dearest for a lavish celebration, filled, naturally, with plenty of Italian touches.
