Carrabba's

I have eaten here once since diagnosed and I got really sick. I wouldn't trust them again.

I thought the food was fine at best.

Best to avoid. No separate cooking area so cross contamination is a big concern. Not sure why they would state they have a gluten free menu and then warn it's not safe for celiacs.

Not a good choice, everything is cooked on the same grill. The basting sauce they use has gluten in it.

VERY disappointed. I loved Carrabba's when I ate gluten. Now not so much. Waiter didn't know the gluten free menu at all. Had me confused and that doesn't happen very often. I asked for an Italian salad no croutons (because the menu states to ask to have salads made in a fresh bowl and w/o croutons) and no tomatoes. He assumed I wanted a Caesar because I asked for no croutons. He also didn't know that the chicken on the g-free menu came with two prescribed sides - daily mixed veg and garlic mashed potatoes. My mom - not g-free, but allergic to mushrooms - had mushrooms in her pasta after asking that there be no mushroom

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.

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.
