The food was ok, nothing special. I didn't have any problems with anything in my meal but the staff is definitely not well versed in GF and they do not exactly go out of their way to avoid cross contamination, though the waiter did claim the kitchen would clean the grill before cooking my meal.
I go there about once a month. I love the chicken Bryan or the chicken trio. Out of about 20 visits I had a mild reaction once. I do not suggest the soup. Mine arrived with a piece of pasta in it. I sent it back. I still trust the naples location about 95%.
everything is cooked on the same grill. the disclaimer on the gf menu states that none of the staff is trained on gf. also states that items where determined to be gf based on a 4 year old review of the ingredients from a nutritionist. with as much as companies change their ingredients thats just not acceptable.
I have eaten here at least 20 times and never had a probllem until last nite. I ordered my usual gf menu item chicken Bryan ,chicken soup, mashed potatoes and side of spinach. Which one was contaminated... No idea! All I know is I was sick all night long.
First time visiting Carrabba’s since going gluten free. GF items are marked on menu and there is a gluten free pasta substitute that you can ask the server about. Unfortunately I did not feel too safe with cross contamination. I asked the server how the GF pasta would be prepared and if anything is shared, and she said that it would be boiled in the same water used for the regular pasta but still assured that it is safe for me. I asked for it to be boiled in a separate pot, but I’m not sure if anything else was shared in preparation of the food.

We had the lamb chop special and the salmon. They were very accommodating for our gf requests.

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.
