Carrabba's

Carraba’s goes above and beyond to make special accommodations if you ask. I was able to order their spaghetti with gluten free pasta and sausage instead of meatballs and their traditional pasta. They will prepare most appetizers to accommodate as well. This is one of my favorite go-to restaurants.

I have Celiac and Crohn’s and I’ve visited this restaurant twice since moving to Knoxville from Florida. Both times, I have been EXTREMELY ill afterwards with painful abdominal pain lasting hours. I, personally will not be returning to this establishment again and caution others as I wouldn’t want someone else to experience this discomfort.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Ordered carry out last night. Despite specifying that I have a gluten allergy I found three pieces of normal penne pasta mixed into my dish. Their kitchen staff obviously do not take allergens seriously nor do they have proper protocol in place to accommodate celiac guests. Do not go here.

Celiac friendly?

No

GF pasta is good...many sauces are GF and the staff is very knowledgeable. No problems here.

Celiac friendly?

So many options! I enjoyed the Marsala & gf alfredo. Yummy!!! Best gf pasta I've had.

Gluten free menu had lots of options. I went at lunch and waiter was very helpful and helped me order a delicious meal. I had the minestrone soup, an Italian salad and the chicken lettuce wraps (my favorite part). Next time I am getting the prosciutto wrapped asparagus!! Yummy

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I told the waiter I was gluten intolerant, and he took my menu and replaced it with a GLUTEN FREE menu! VERY IMPRESSED, great selection, just stick to that menu.. :) Was delicious!

Excellent gluten-free menu.

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.

The salmon and GF pasta with the Tomato-basil-garlic sauce was great! Also the steak, mashed potatoes, and veggies are all delish!
