About
Carrabba's Italian Grill is a great place to go for classic Italian fare. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant has a family-friendly atmosphere. There was an issue with the steak being undercooked, but the manager promptly took care of it. The young female manager with short hair was impressive, and I hope she remains in charge of Carrabba's Italian Grill in the future.
Why you should go
- Experience exceptional service from dedicated servers like Maria and Anna
- Enjoy delicious dishes such as Mahi Wulfe, chicken Bryan, Mezzaluna ravioli, and tiramisu
- Engage in lively conversations at the bar while savoring Cesar Salad with grilled chicken or scallops

Came in on a Sunday with a party of 12. We did the call a head seating. We only had to wait like 5 minutes once the whole party got there. The service was great and it was just one waitress waiting on us. The food came out in a timely manner. My food was good. I tried my wife's truffle French fries and they were nothing special. They were like regular fries that you could get anywhere.
I came here for the first time ever tonight! I enjoyed my meal. My grandfather told me to come in . He went to high school with Johnny Carrabba. I enjoyed everything I ate. The chicken was a big hit at the table. The atmosphere is relaxing and had great Italian music playing. I enjoyed that I could get pasta as a side. Our waitress was sweet. The running girls were not much help but I guess that’s why you have a waitress. Get the brownie for dessert. I will come back.
We had a fantastic meal at Carrabbas this afternoon. It has been about a year since I was here last and missed it so much since then. They have done some remodeling but stopped using the brick pizza oven (probably due to understaffed). I ordered the Mahi Wulfe which is my favorite dish. Mahi mahi cooked and covered with a white wine sauce, artichoke heart, sun dried tomatoes and other tasty seasonings. Really good. The chicken soup with noodles was extremely good also. Our waiter, Calvin, was a super salesman and sold me on the cannoli cake with chocolate ganache and a mini cannoli on top. Fantastic is an understatement. I’m sure I’m going to enjoy everything for a total of 3 meals including the cake. Eat smaller portions and no pain thus you have a great meal 3 times!!! BTW they have an A rating and I will put them on food circuit.

Reviews
Carrabba's Italian Grill offers a mix of positive and negative experiences. Reviewers praise the friendly and attentive staff, with specific mentions of outstanding servers like Maria and Anna who went above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience. The food quality receives mixed reviews, with highlights on dishes like Mahi Wulfe, chicken Bryan, Mezzaluna ravioli, and tiramisu. However, some diners encountered issues such as undercooked noodles in the fettuccine Carrabba dish. Despite occasional disappointments like cold marinara sauce for mozzarella sticks or weak drinks, patrons appreciate the welcoming atmosphere and enjoyable meals at Carrabba's.

Maria was the perfect server. Friendly and attentive. Food quality was on point. Best salad I have had since I can remember. The spinach and Alfredo side items were delicious.I typically only dine at locally owned restaurants but this is our favorite chain restaurant in our area. Always a great experience.
Our server Calvin was outstanding. Was on point the whole meal. The food was excellent and delicious. My first time trying Mezzaluna, and it was lovely. The ravioli was fork tender with a nice sauce. My date had the chicken Bryan with mashed potatoes and loved it. Great meal and no wait on a Tuesday night.
