I have a soy allergy, too, so they offered to clean their grill and cook a chicken breast with salt & pepper... the mashed potatoes & asparagus were safe. I left a little bloated, so there may have been some contamination, but for mild allergies, we did great & they really did do their best!

Menu items are not marked GF but it states that GF pasta is available and waitstaff told us that the pasta sauces are GF.

I would say this place is Celiac friendly. We went last night with my toddler who has celiac and we told our server, Jacob, about her allergy. He assured me the cooks would change their gloves. She had the kids spaghetti (subbed with the GF pasta option, no meatball of course) and she also had bites of my minestrone soup, chicken Marsala, and steamed broccoli (all GF options they have). She had zero reactions and thought the food was yummy :) It’s nice to have a safe place to eat while traveling.

Update: We visited again and she had the GF kids grilled chicken and broccoli and she loved it and no reaction! Just thought I would share.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We love Carrabba's. This is the first time visiting since we learned of my daughter's food intolerances. The waitress was excellent about going over different options. My daughter loved the Minestrone soup. The gluten free pasta was not a hit. She said it had a very doughy taste. Next time, she may try fish or just go with a bowl of the soup.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

We've been here several times since we moved here six months ago, and my partner is highly sensitive to gluten (can get sick from very minor cross contamination). We let them know up front that the meal has to be strictly gluten free and they do a great job keeping it that way. GF items are clearly marked on the regular menu, and some unmarked items can be modified to be safe (the waiter suggested we could ask for no breading on the scallops, for example). They have a delicious GF pasta option, and a wide selection of other items. Dessert options are more limited, basically a scoop of ice cream and caramel. But it is a fantastic custard ice cream and worth getting. We always get the caprese appetizer, which is good even without the bread.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

They have a new menu with items labeled GF. Server was very accomodating. Food was very good. Recommended for celiacs!

Several choices for gf... I've never gotten sick there! That's always a plus! :)

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.
