The staff is so friendly and on top of allergies! They say a lot of the staff has food intolerances and know personally what to do, and will even offer to show a label as needed. Felt so safe here even with my daughter who’s celiac. Definitely come here!

I had a very unpleasant visit last night. I ordered my gluten free pasta dish and then while my family was enjoying their appetizers the waiter came over and told me that they were out of gluten free pasta and I needed to choose something else and handed me a menu. I handed it back to him and said I dont want anything else and the only reason we came here was because they had GF options for me. My mom immediately wanted to leave as it was her birthday dinner and if I couldnt eat it was ruined for her. I insisted they stay. The manager then comes over and says who wanted GF? My mom goes my daughter NEEDS GF she has celiac. The manager then tells us they do have a "little bit" of gf pasta in the back but not for everyone. So they were going to make me change my dish even though they had pasta. I said I shouldn't have to disclose my illness when you offer it on your menu. They then comped dessert (which isnt gluten free) which I think they should have comped my meal. I doubt I'll ever return to this location.

The menu was clearly marked, our waitress was great and knew what gluten free meant, and when I had questions she double checked with the kitchen. Yum!!

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.

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.
