Carrabba's Italian Grill

First, I want to say that my Husband and I frequent Carrabba's on what's become a weekly basis, and each time we are there we are greeted and served our first beverages by a wonderful server by the name of Tayvan. He has consistently been very helpful, efficient, and personable.

The ambience of the restaurant is very pleasant and the food has consistently been excellent. They do the best they can to accommodate your seating preferences, which is much appreciated.

We go to Carrabba's quite a bit. I do wish there were more vegetarian options. But everything is always excellent. Chicken soup is a stand-out for those who eat chicken. It's a shame they don't have minestrone anymore but a second meat filled soup instead.

Staff is super friendly and kind but stay away from the bar late afternoon / early evening. The lady's unhappiness exudes throughout. I avoid the bar at that time at all costs and will dine elsewhere (as in a different establishment instead) - she's that bad.

Aside from that sour puss and not enough veg options, it's a place to get quality food, good service and consistency. Plus that $10 take home special and their dining rewards program is great,

Last week my wife and I arrived at Carrabba's on Thursday at about 3:45 with my 89 year old Aunt and her partner. There were 2 people at the bar, and 3 tables seated, (one table of 6 and 2 tables of 2). There was nobody waiting to be seated. We were greeted by a hostess that barely made eye contact and told us that there would be a short wait. We sat waiting about 6 feet from the hostess, who seemed bored and completely ignored us. 20 minutes later I nicely asked her "What exactly are we waiting for, and how much longer?" By now there were 3 groups waiting behind us. She shrugged her shoulders ( again with no eye contact) and said " We have only one server, I don't know how long". At 30 minutes we were discussing our options as an unkempt man with loose greasy hair down to his shoulders, and thong style slippers with no socks walked out of the kitchen. That did it for me. We left and will NEVER return. Worst customer service ever!!!!

Always delicious. The staff were great and this one runs well. I'm actually not sure why they have such a rating. They should be just around 4.5-5 stars.

We came here for a staff wives dinner. Really enjoyed the food. The lentil sausage soup was amazing!!! The entree that I got was very flavorful as well. Portion was good enough to half and bring it home to enjoy again the next day for lunch! The Ambiance was quiet and comfortable. A little too dark of a dining room for my taste. Comfortable non the less.
Thank you for a good experience.

Sam is an awesome server. She always takes care of us and knows to bring the extra cheese. Carrabba's is a good reliable Italian restaurant. Yum!

Just wanted to write this review to call out a server we had tonight. Nicole was inconsiderate, absent, and spoke with a tone that I just was not a fan of. Some people just shouldn't be servers!
Anyways we love this restaurant and usually have a great experience with wonderful food its a shame they have someone like Nicole working for them and putting a bad impression on their restaurant.

My wife and I went for a late lunch. Waited for the hostess to arrive. Nothing remarkable there. CJ our server arrived with a cheerful smile, took our drink orders. My wife throughly enjoyed the lamb and I had the spring salad with chicken, awesome. CJ was attentive and efficient

jeremy from CARRABBA'S emailsd that he was going to call me and never did biut no surprise. So even the Manager doesn't care!!!

We eat out frequently with groups of friends and I make sure we never go to Carrabas.

We make great Italian food at home so when we're out and need a bite, we usually opt for another genre of food. However, after nonexistent service at a local sushi spot, we were craving the warm, relaxing ambiance we usually find at Carrabba's.

The hostess (who would have been our server) was quick, friendly, and accommodating, but the music was off the mark: fast tempo and a voice that at heights hit like nails on a chalkboard. Our server said it was piped in from corporate but the Ocala location (as of last week) plays an altogether different type of tunes. She did offer twice to turn it down but since we were mostly there for the relaxing vibe, we sought another option.
