My wife and I have been patronizing Carrabba’s for at least 20 years and this was the worst meal we have ever had. The chicken parmigiana we had tasted like cardboard, it was very thin and rubbery! Three out 6 of our meals were lukewarm! Our waitress, Tori, was excellent but our meals were very disappointing! Chicken parmigiana is my favorite meal at Carrabba’s. I know exactly how it should taste and this definitely was not it!

My wife and I went there for lunch, she had the 7oz sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. I had the rigatoni Martino and both dishes were wonderfull. Portion size were perfect for us, we even took home 2 to go plates for only $10 each. compliments to chef Travis. Our server Danielle was excellent, she is very knowledgeable and attentive with a great attitude, just an overall people person. Thank you for a much enjoyable lunch

My recent visit to Carrabba’s was the first in quite some time, and it exceeded all expectations. Alex, the bartender, truly made the experience memorable with his exceptional service and expertly crafted cocktails. My wife and I have struggled to find a restaurant with a perfect date night atmosphere—intimate, yet light, airy, and fun—but Carrabba’s delivered. The inviting ambiance, combined with Alex’s warm and engaging service, will definitely bring us back again soon.”

Danielle made our experience at Carrabba’s absolutely fantastic! She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. Her warm personality and excellent service truly stood out, making our meal even more enjoyable. We hope to see her more often—she’s a gem

It's not that it's not a good place to eat. It's that I don't feel super comfortable here. The atmosphere is really what ruined it for me. Somehow feeling classy but snobby at the same time. The food was okay. I got the chicken brian. Our server was honestly one of the best servers I've had in years. It's not a place I'll go to very often but if you like Italian I suggest giving it a try.

Service was amazing. It was our first time, but our server was very helpful and thorough. The appetizers were delicious. Probably should have made a meal out of those. I enjoyed my chicken trio meal, but my husband's steak was mostly fat, and the salvageable pieces were barely cooked to rare. Prices were also a little high, in my opinion. Also, the extra charge sides were not worth it.

Was very impressed!!! Better than our first time here years ago. Service (James) was outstanding and staff were fabulous even though we were so late celebrating our kid’s play performance. Great food and wine and cocktails. A bit pricey but delish!!!! Highly recommend!!!
