Carrabba's

Had delicious meal and was told it was gluten free...was ill for days after from exposure. Wouldn’t recommend for celiacs.

Had a great GF meal with my family. Went on a Monday night and enjoyed the special for $13-15 / person. Soup or salad, entree and dessert (some of the fancier ones cost $2 more). Service was quick (ask for Chase as the sever). Found 1 regular noodle in the GF pasta dish. None of the 3 of us who are GF got sick. GF minestrone soup & Gelato were also yummy! Just make you let them know you are GF bc pasta can be made both ways (reg and GF). Other family members who ordered off the regular menu left satisfied. Husband and son enjoyed the soft bread and olive oil dipping sauce.

I only discovered I was allergic to wheat and peanuts approximately two weeks ago. I have always been allergic to dairy. There has been so much of a struggle to find a restaurant that has options for me with my trifecta of allergies. A lot of gluten-free places will use gluten-free ingredients, but cook on a surface that they just made wheat-filled bread on...etc. Or they tell me to eat a salad and all of their dressings have dairy in it. I was beginning to get really depressed as it is close to the holidays and I am giving up all of my favorite things (cookies, pasta, bread) without finding that great of gluten-sensitive alternatives, especially when a lot of those alternatives substitute a peanut-base for their bonding agent. Well, I went to Carrabba's tonight, 12/18/15 and was astounded by what they offered for my allergies. My server was very attentive to my needs and as they make everything from scratch, I was able to get the Sicilian Soup without the pasta in it. I also got a salad with a dressing that didn't have dairy/peanuts/wheat in it, and was able to eat pretty much anything else on the menu I wanted (I went with the Chianti Chicken). They also recently added to their menu the option to change any pasta to gluten-free pasta so you could potentially eat anything they have there (unless you have other allergies like me). Thank you thank you thank you Carrabba's!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I have eaten here several times and have never been sick. There are some tasty options and some good specials. With one exception the service has been excellent.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service was poor, not a lot of good options, food was bad. I ordered a salad and when they messed up and put something in it I requested not to be added bc of an allergy, they took it back and did not remake it but PICKED THAT INGREDIENT OUT. Terrible.

Celiac friendly?

No

I had the Chicken Bryan with GF fettuccine Alfredo. Absolutely delicious!

Doesn’t exist any longer.

I had their gluten free pasta with the creamy vodka sauce, mushrooms and sun dried tomatoes. It wasn’t bad, in fact the sauce was quite good. The only problem was that the pasta was overly soft and the dish was served semi cold.

I’ve eaten here a few times recently, and it’s always been a great experience. They have quite a few tasty GF items labeled on the menu, pasta as well as meat dishes. The servers are knowledgeable. I have asked about protocols, and was told that they use dedicated water for gluten-free pasta, and have a separate prep area for GF. The only reason I didn’t give it five stars is that I am an asymptomatic celiac, but I do feel comfortable eating here.
