Carrabba's Italian Grill

Ate at Carrabba's for Father's Day. We saw a sign that they were giving bonus cards with purchase of gift cards. The hostess was kind enough to let us know that there was a special and you got double bonus cards on Father's Day only! So we used the gift cards on Father's Day and will be going back soon to use the bonus cardsThere were 7 of us and we all enjoyed our food. My brother and his wife had their food originally come out cold and asked to send it back. The server was apologetic and got them hot / fresh food without question. In addition, when we received our bill the server let us know that the manager was so sorry about the cold food that he took it off the bill. Shows how much they care about service. Everything was delicious, especially the meatballs. It's become a family joke now, as when my brother first bit into his meatball he burst out with " THYS IS A FLIPPIN' good meatball". And we all just kept repeating that through the mesl

Love going here! Great service, and food, along with a clean atmosphere. I specifically enjoy their happy hour from 4-7pm, which is everyday btw. $7 bites and drinks! Definitely worth checking out.

Five friends gathering on a Sunday afternoon with only two goals: Catch up on things after the holidays and have a tasty/relaxing meal while doing so. Both goals were easily accomplished with the second half of that provided by our wonderful server Michelle G. She was basically Perfection and we enjoyed the personality as well as the great menu tips. Our group can occasionally be high maintenance, and Michelle just went with it all. We each got different main meals, and my choice (with suggestion by Michelle as well) was the seasonal Rigatoni Al Forno w/ Sausage. That was A LOT of meal in the bowl and definitely matched the description of "cheesy". It was quite delicious. I'd hoped to save room for trying a dessert (which I normally skip) but that just wasn't gonna happen. The meal was extremely filling. I don't think anyone could/should complain about the portion size. Thanks, Carrabba's, and thanks again, Michelle, for a great dining experience. We will certainly be returning based to today's visit.

I am not a fan of Carrabba's happy hour charcuterie board but I love their classic starters like the lentil soup, Caprese salad and calamari.The charcuterie board is new for the happy hour menu. It really needs some citrus or something sweet or spicy. I guess my expectations for this type of meal is higher than it used to be. It seemed like not a lot of effort was put into the choice of ingredients. A couple kinds of salami not prosciutto wrapped around cheese. A bunch of Italian bread garlic toast, a ramekin of blue cheese, ramekins of some kind of flavorless white cheese and burrata. They were out of the small portion of olives so I asked for grape tomatoes. It was garnished with whole grain mustard.The lentil soup which is a slightly spicy sausage soup never disappoints unless they are out of it. The calamari was crisp hot and the breading was just right.I sat at the bar and had excellent service. Even though it was one server and she was also covering the tables in the bar, I never wanted for anything.

My family and I visited this Carrabba's while vacationing in Orlando. The food at Carrabba's always slaps: the bread was served warm and our dinner was nice and hot. We ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer: they were hot and the cheese was nice and gooey, and the marinara sauce was chunky, sweet, and delicious. We also had a spicy Sicilian chicken soup: the noodles were perfectly al dente and the broth was flavorful. I had the mahi wulfe for dinner: my fish was cooked thoroughly but it was not as tender as I usually prefer. I had mashed potatoes and Alfredo pasta as my sides (the potatoes were savory and smooth, the Alfredo sauce on my pasta was a bit thicker than I prefer but it was still good). My eldest daughter ordered the spaghetti bolognese and she said she enjoyed it very much. My little one had chicken tenders and French fries (per usual) and ate every bite (that's not typical so they must've been great). The ambiance was family friendly (typical for Orlando, Florida). Our server (Jenice) was amazing. She was so sweet and attentive. At one point my daughter spilled water all over the booth seat and Jenice ran over with a towel and kindly offered a free dessert to my little one (she was crying after having endured water spillage on her dress). I'd definitely go back.

Nice fast service is very cozy inside ..drink specials uh hello yes please still haven't ordered main dish need to post when I do but do far yes

I can't wait Togo back here when I visit! The food was so delicious and fragrant! Our server was accommodating to my food allergies and knowledgeable of the menu.

It has been years since I visited Carrabba's, honestly, I didn't think they were still open...I think a lot of people might think that since it was very empty on the night we went. Overall, the food isn't anything spectacular, but there are a few things that are better than others.First, grab the meatball appetizer. It's not all that big, but the flavor is very good and it was an enjoyable bite or tow. However, skip the chicken soup - unless you like hot water, because it had no flavor. I didn't have a salad, but I would anticipate them to be a better choice. It's not news that the bread was fresh and the olive oil concoction was a great choice - bread for the win. But, skip the sauces, they aren't worth it.For an entree, I was pretty disappointed in my lasagna, it didn't look very good or taste very good. I hear that the short rib was good, but I didn't personally taste it. I can't say I'll be back soon, to try it for myself.

Oh, my!!!Was outside, 5 hours before opening.Please read my story.......What I sent to my daughtersUndercover BossI drove to Orlando (90 min) for a first date with a pretty female from Facebook.She chose to meet at Carrabas (on Vineland Street), even though they weren't scheduled to open for 5 hours.I searched: Carrabas/Orlando/Vineland and landed on Vineland Avenue (not Vineland Street) by my own mistake (5 miles different). My Carrabas was opened, but no-show date.We found my mistake and I drove to the correct Carrabas, 5 miles away.We were getting to know each other outside of the closed Carrabas, when the manager comes outside and says to us (sitting on their bench). "We are 5 hours early for opening, but, you can come inside and order a full meal"We go inside and order.The manager comes over and says: "I think that you are Undercover Boss, because the county health inspector showed up at the same time as you"I then hold up an empty wine glass to the overhead lamp to look for spots .... he runs away and replaces the glasses.When he returns, I explain that we were just meeting at this location and not expecting an early opening, or any connection to Undercover Boss.They treated us like royalty, and everything was a pleasant experience.

I ordered this months ago when I was at a conference in the area. We ordered two pasta dishes and two salads. It was phenomenal.
