Carrabba's

Visited this restaurant with family. I was assured by family members that I would have safe options. I ordered salmon and veggies, which I was assured were gluten free. My food was brought out next to family members pasta’s and breads. I didn’t think much of it at the time. My waitress, during dinner rush, brought our our food, left it in the middle of the aisle, out in the open as people walked by, and left it there for 10 minutes while she retrieved the rest of the orders. I begrudgingly ate it, knowing I would later regret it.

I had the worst stomach pain of my life within hours. I was cramping, nauseous, you name it for days afterward. I broke out in full body hives for a week afterward. To this day, I’m not sure how exactly I was glutened, or if I also had some slight food poisoning, but I will never be returning and I highly, highly suggest if you are gluten free/have a gluten allergy, or are celiac that you AVOID THIS CARRABBA’S LIKE THE PLAGUE.

Not only did I become ill, the food was downright horrible. I could’ve went to the store and bought a frozen gluten free TV dinner that would’ve tasted better than the $25 salmon that made me hate my life.

We went to lunch today after I checked the menu on their website and it looked very gluten free with lots of options. It looked online that there was a separate menu with gluten free options. As soon as the waitress came over I knew I was in trouble. The pasta section of the menu was very confusing and made it appear that any of the items were available with gluten free pasta. The waitress had no clue and when I started to ask questions things got very uncomfortable. I thought she would go to the kitchen to ask about the questions I had but just guessed and when I told her I could get very sick if I got something with gluten in it, I just got a blank stare. One of the items she suggested to me was pasta with meatballs and when I was concerned that they had breadcrumbs in them she acknowledged that they probably did. Again, no offer to double check. We should have gotten up and left at that point. I ended up getting the Pasta Bolognese. My biggest concern was my salad dressing. At that point I was so frustrated with her that I didn't think to ask and I ate it anyway. Here's to hoping it was gluten free. I guess my biggest problem is that if you promote gluten free meals, educate your staff so they know what they're talking about. We'll never go back.

This restaurant was amazing years ago. Definitely has gone way down hill. The gluten free pasta is awful. They do have some good gluten free options. Too bad this location isn’t very good anymore.

A lot of options. Wait staff was knowledgeable and made sure my salad had no croutons. Food was yummy. Had Cesar salad & chcken Marsala, both were good.

Gf menu always have great gf food here

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.
