My husband and I enjoy eating at Carrabba’s and have found it to be a safe place for me. I order steak (cooked on its own pan) with butter, salt and pepper, bowl of Mama Mandola’s Scilian Chicken Soup (no pasta) and their signature salad with no croutons, extra cheese and olives, yum! * It’s important to note: the pasta is added to the soup when they “plate” the dish and not cooked in the pot which makes it gluten free! * Additionally, I’m incredibly sensitive to cross contact so I always ask for my salad to be made with fresh ingredients not “on the line”. They have always been so great and supportive! *allergens: gluten, mushrooms, honey, coconut and all nuts.

Usually I have no problems here but my most recent trip was not good. My interaction with the waitstaff was not reassuring even though I made it clear I had celiac, needed gluten free, and it when all else failed (when I didn’t think she was really taking my seriously or knew what Celiac meant) I said I had a gluten allergy. I asked her to let the cooks and back of the house know. She said “Oh no problem, I will make note of it”
I was glutened and in pain on the way home and have been sick since.
Be cautious. Maybe speak to a manager or be more adamant than I was with the waitstaff.

Menu had multiple choices and everything was clearly marked on the menu. They fully accommodated the children's menu to substitute for gf pasta. My 6 yr old daughter loved it! I'm not celiac but I ordered off the gf menu so she could try more things. I had the gf minestrone which was delicious and the pork tenderloin which was also great. She especially loved the mashed potatoes! I would definitely recommend this place.
Yes
Great meal My grand daughter is celiac and she had a great gluten free dinner with no problems Would go back in a heartbeat
Yes
No longer safe, sadly. The noodles have changed and I ended up very very sick; usually I have no problems after eating here.

The staff was nice and friendly. They took my allergy seriously. The have a button on their ordering system that automatically makes your whole order gluten free.

I've eaten here many times and feel safe enough.
I always ask for Shavon as our server. Shavon is one of the best servers anywhere! She's worked at this Carrabbas since it opened maybe 14 years ago. She is very familiar with celiac disease and is on top of it for taking care of the customer. For example, when she rings in my food, she puts the "gluten free" note like 6 times! She will also bring us our soups herself as another precaution.
Recently they changed their type of gluten-free pasta here and it's a bowtie pasta that cooks much better than the previous pasta.
A side of alfredo sauce doesn't cost extra. I sometimes ask for this for my broccoli.

Just ate here a few days ago. Very disappointed. When my plate arrived there was hardly any pasta on the plate. Maybe a quarter cup? Not cool when the entree is $24.99 for chicken. I should have said something but we waited so long for our food I didn’t want to hold up the rest of my party. They also changed the gf pasta to bowties. The other gf pasta was much better in my opinion. In addition, we watched the cook wash off the grill with pasta water. Ugh! Not sure I want to go back.

Carrabbas was one of my favorite places to eat before my celiac diagnosis. I was so excited to find out that many items on their menu are labeled gluten free. Even my favorite menu items! They did sub in gluten free pasta with their Alfredo for me and the pasta was over cooked and pasta sauce was incredibly bland BUT honestly I have never gone there for their pasta. I lean towards their steak and chicken dishes.
