Wait time is horrible for drinks and food. The food was delicious but not enough staff to help. Not sure if we will ever go back. I was very disappointed considering it was our first time there.
Delicious !
Fantastic experience
Food was pricey. My Lobster Ravioli was chewy and very small portion for the price.
Shrimp and scallop linguine had only 5 peices TOTAL!
My lasagna was lukewarm not going back
the server was great
The staff was exceptional, they even sang happy Birthday in Italian, the appetizers and food were delicious.
Always amazing!!
Great food, good service, and overall an awesome experience ask for Micheal!! Best waiter ever
Food was good except the bread was really really hard. Only edible part was center. Service was good. Had to use the ladies room and the smell was soooooo bad I almost threw up the dinner I just ate. Really bad sewer gas smell .
My wife and I dined at Carrabba‘s for my birthday yesterday and it was a fantastic experience! We don’t normally dine at chain restaurants and I don’t mean that to be insulting. It’s just a statement of our dining habits. And I hate to sound surprised that it was as good as it was, but it really exceeded our expectations - the food, Service, and ambience were all top-notch! AND the drinks were great, AND the warm bread with olive oil and herbs was great AND we felt truly welcomed and appreciated as customers AND the price was reasonable AND they have a rewards program AND there’s plenty of parking.
Do I need to go on?
Let alone the fact that they were open before noon on Sunday - don’t laugh, but we like to eat early and we liked the hours. And I think their happy hour is every day, not limited to weekdays.
The manager was great. He immediately greeted us, and smoothly transitioned to our excellent server, William. The manager was really welcoming (and helpful, for example, we did take advantage of one of the wine specials, but he also provided great menu information), but every staff member was pleasant (that includes a woman I think was the bartender).
William, our server, had great timing, and kept the experience running smoothly - drinks, checking on steak temperature shortly after the steak was delivered (I hate being abandoned with an undercooked steak, hoping to be able to get a server’s attention, as each minute feels like sinking in quicksand as the timing of both your and your dining partner’s meals gets screwed up), acknowledging my birthday, guiding us through menu choices.
Food was great. I got the Johnny Trio, which is a piece of the Tuscan sirloin (delicious, not over seasoned, and cooked to my medium well expectation), a piece of chicken Bryan (I didn’t think I’d like it as much as I did, thought the goat cheese and sun dried tomato would be too tangy, or too rich, but no and no, it just worked really well), and a good portion of the mezzaluna (wow, that ravioli may hav stolen the show, which is saying a lot because the steak and chicken were great). In fact, portion sizes were excellent all around. My wife loved the lobster ravioli, too.
Plenty of selection on the menu, too. Several pasta dishes I need to work my way through in the future (there WILL be future Carabba’s visits), plus chicken dishes and even the Mahi Mahi looks great and people seem to love it.
Really enjoyed the tiramisu for dessert. Good size, creamy, fresh, moist cake, with that nice little cylindrical shaped piece of chocolate atop. Tough call to make with that cannoli cake for two staring you in the face, but we all have to make tough choices. See what I’m saying about menu selection? Plus a good wine list and daily happy hour.
Drinks were great, too. My wife had a smoked Manhattan and she loved it. Tasted great, the smoke taste came through (and you could see the smoke hover over it), and it had t he big OFFICIAL ice cube).
So, we’re fans. Looking forward to returning 😀

Excellent dinner, our server Michael took incredible care of us and made the night
Michael was cool
This place used to be so much better. Perhaps it was not a good idea to go on mother's day but it's what she wanted. Two of my ravioli were frozen and the sauce was very thin. This used to be a trustworthy dish. Did not enjoy the experience
Michael is great ! Ask for him! Very personal service !
Michael was very personable and great. Food was great as well.
