Carrabba’s Italian Grill

Came here tonight with my boyfriend and his parents. Our wsitresses name was Amy. She was excellent, super sweet, super fast, super informative. Our food was good too (lobster rav and chix marsela) but the price and proportion was a tad off. Oh & great bread too!

Great food, great service and beautiful atmosphere! And you have to love love there happy hour specials!

A short walk from our hotel, my family and I went for lunch. Waiter was friendly and helpful. The starter of asparagus and prosciutto was great, and the pasta dishes we ordered were nice. Would go again…

Food is good, I only had a small plate and soup and salad. They have heathy and small portions. So thats great for me! Great and friendly service and dogs are allowed in the terrace. Will come back to try pasta and pizza. Cocktails looks amazing!

Loved going on a Sunday around 3pm and being able to be sat down quickly. Was treated very kindly and welcoming. One if our meals was burnt and they quickly corrected the plate with a brand new one which was AMAZING! Def one if my favorite italian spots to go to.

Visited around half an hour to close on a Sunday after arriving at the airport and checking in to a nearby hotel. I felt welcome despite our late arrival; there were only a few tables still occupied.
Friendly bartender, even though we had minimal interaction with him. One of us ordered a particular wine and we overheard our server chatting (positively) with the bartender about the selection. Later, the bartender even asked how the wine was.
One of us ordered the lasagna. Soon after, the manager stopped by to inform us that some lasagna had been sent back earlier and he didn’t want to serve it any more that night (and I suppose no one would want to have it after his description…). He suggested a custom-​made dish prepared similarly to lasagna — oven-​baked layers of ravioli. Despite the runner and server being a little confused when the dish came out, it turned out to be quite yummy.
At the conclusion of an excellent meal, we found that the manager comped the custom entrée. Probably unnecessary for him to do that, but I’m excited to return to Carrabba’s again in the hopes that I get another positive experience like this one.

Sat at the bar tonight. Best bar tenders EVER… good food, friendly service. I will definitely be back.

They are consistently providing pretty decent food and service for a fair price. Stopped in for a few appetizers in the bar area during Happy Hour. During Happy Hour it’s ½ price appetizers and 2 for 1 on ALL drinks!!! Gotta like that deal. Bartenders were very busy but very friendly.

I didn’t want to venture too far from my hotel due to the thunderstorm. I noticed that in my 1 week Orlando vacation every single place I visited had a Carrabas. Today is my final day at Orlando and my friends and family decided to finally try this Carrabas and I’m glad we did. I was discouraged from the previous reviews and rating of this place but I experienced a different dinning. Service was great! My waiter even gave the history of Carrabas which was very informative. My friends and I ordered a plate of calamari, chicken parmigiana, carrabas fettuccine, baked ravioli, pasta and 9oz steak, and pollo rosa. The chicken was cooked well. The steak was a bit tough so it wasn’t as juicy as my friend and I would like. While waiting for the food, they give complementary bread with an olive oil and herb dipped. The bread and dipped were mediocre. But the food overall exceeded my initial low expectation for this place. My favorite dish out of all that my friends and I ordered was the chicken parmigiana. In terms of how fast the food came, The food came by very fast and was still very hot. In California we don’t have a Carrabas so this place is like a better version of Olive Garden.

Nice atmosphere and ordinary Italian food.
Went there for lunch near the hotel and it was pretty descent.

My family has been going to Carrabas for years. Their portions keep getting smaller.
The house salad use to have romaine lettuce, celery, fresh sliced carrots, pepperoncini peppers and two kinds of olives — green and black. Now they serve romaine, pre shredded carrots and 2 tiny olives if you are lucky. Are you kidding me guys, who makes these brilliant decisions.
They cut way back on pasta, what? Pasta is cheap, give us some pasta. i know people that go elsewhere because of the cutbacks.
The main portions are inconsistent, I spent $ 19.00 for the lg chicken dish and the two pieces of chicken were tiny. I paid $ 1.50 extra for asparagus instead of broccoli (without knowing) and it was a tiny portion.
I have really question myself when wanting to go to Carrabas’. With all my frustrations out, the food taste really good.

Me and my wife just had dinner here tonight
and it was AWESOME! We sat at the cook’s counter and the guys behind the counter and our waiter made it a very enjoyable experience. Haven’t ever sat there but would again and highly recommend it. Good job guys!!!

It’s been a few years since I visited a Carrabbas. I had the Brushetta Caprise as an App. Very tasty on the toasted bread.
The side salad was ok nothing to brag about. My main course was Pollo Rosa Maria. It was very tasty with the Fontina cheese and mushrooms. Rosa Maria is a pretty «sweet dish» and if she was a women, I’d compare her to Sophia Loren in her prime!
Oh I almost forgot to mention the sautéed broccoli. It was delicious especially after I had the waiter sprinkle some grated cheese on top. Ummmm good.
Service from server ck 44 at the bar where I ate was good.

Totally up to par with the original in Houston! Love this place when I’m in Houston, even happier to know its branched out to other places! Totes yummy! Great service! Bartender was the best I’ve ever had. She was engaging and hilarious!

Came here with the family for Easter Dinner. Prompt service, great food and a server from heaven

It’s always a good experience going to Carrabas, we visited the new location near OIA for the fist time and it was great. The server did an excellent job and the food was outstanding, they have finally added the Mahi Wulfe to the menu.
The only complaint/​guestion I have is them forcing you to sit in the bar area to take advantage of the half price drinks and appetizers. I didn’t like that.

Had dinner last night and I may not go back. The service was great but then it goes down hill. I believe they think that salt is the only way to make the food taste good and the veggies were over cook.

If you come to Carraba make sure you bring your stomach along for the ride!!! When we went to Carraba’s I ordered a fettuccine with shrimp and Alfredo sauce its was amazing

Not wanting to venture too far for dinner, as I had yet to return my rental car back to the airport I found this brand new Carrabba’s Italian Grill. It is in brand new development area and the parking can be really tight as they try to pack as many cars as possible.
Being single they took me right away and placed me in a small two person booth as I did not want to eat at the bar. The place was hopping with guests.
My server was Jenna C. who gave me superior service and made sure my water was always topped off.
Celebrating the end of my trip I selected a Small Sirloin Marsala which came with a nice side salad and bread. It was cooked to perfection, and I really appreciated the smaller serving for $ 16.00 I thought it was a good value.
For dessert I chose the Panna Cotta for $ 6.00. It was perfect as I did not want something too sweet to keep me up. With tax my total came to $ 24.39.
Jenna got a great tip as her service was right up to par!
I would recommend and would repeat a visit!

Our second visit to Carrabba’s and most likely our last. For a Monday night, it was pretty busy. We sat down and it took about 10 minutes for the server to come over. We ordered drinks and it seemed to flow well after that hiccup. I was looking forward to the menu options because they sounded good on paper but taste was lacking.
I decided to order the Lobster Mac & Cheese and I found it was missing the cheese. It had some pieces of lobster but the cheese was pretty much missing. It was more like Mac & Lobster. The menu stated it also came with pieces of Pancetta and it was hard to taste those flavors. It makes me wonder whether they really forgot to add the cheese.
My wife ordered the Sirloin Skewers and the meat was chewy and bland. She asked for it medium rare and it came more medium well. We had them wrap our desserts to go because we were in a hurry and those were ok, nothing to write home about. We’ve had much better Italian food In Orlando.
