Carrabba's

Caveat: I have not ordered in person, just via Grubhub. I have inspected their web ordering interface as well.

Caveat: I am gluten intolerant, not allergic/celiac, so I'm not 100% certain of safety.

Re: ordering online

Ordering GF online is not as easy as it could be.

Most pastas offered have GF variants that can be requested. But those are not listed when ordering online via their online ordering page or GrubHub. You'll need to call in in advance to let them know a pasta order will be coming in and that you need the GF variant. They are very helpful when you call in, but call IN ADVANCE. If you call in after submitting the order, the preparation is likely to have already started by the time you call.

The ordering pages don't list allergies/gluten either next to the items. You'll need to use the national website's allergy page to understand which dishes are risky. Google for "carrabbas allergy". This is pretty awkward and they and GrubHub could do better in this regard.

GrubHub does not appear to provide a way to add a comment to the order to indicate gluten free or any other adjustments.

My delivery arrived, it included no confirmation that the order or pasta was gluten free. It did include bread. When I called in to ask if it was GF bread I was told it was not. So be very careful. Ask questions. Don't make assumptions.

I have a favorite server and she makes me feel at ease ordering. The GF pasta is really good. Most dishes can be made GF. Unfortunately no GF desserts are offered here. I've eaten here countless times with no reaction. I do bring my own bread so I can enjoy the oil with herbs.

I’ve eaten at this location twice. Both times my food was contaminated with gluten. The first time I ordered a gluten free chicken dish. It was contaminated. Two years later, I ate at this location again and I ordered the salmon from the gluten free menu and it was again contaminated. While they did bring me another meal, the kitchen staff needs to be educated on how to prepare gluten free food.

Gluten free menu, food tastes great. Our server was aware of my dietary needs.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Eaten here several times GF and it's Great!!!

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.
