Wheat Allergy

I was initially impressed. There were many gluten free options that were clearly labeled on the menu. However, the children’s menu did not have any gluten free labels on it. My wheat allergic son wanted Mac and cheese (aka cheesy penne) off the kids’ menu. I explained to the server that he had an allergy and asked if the meal would be gluten free if we subbed gluten free pasta in the dish. The waiter said it could be prepared gluten free. After a few bites of his cheesy pasta, my son started having a reaction. The pasta he had wasn’t penne so I think that actually was the gluten free pasta but I’m not sure what made him sick. Also, there was a hair in his pasta. Also, the kitchen lost our appetizer order so we didn’t get that until our dinner came. On the positive side, my dairy allergic son was able to eat without an issue. Not the best experience though. Also, it does need to be noted that the menu does state that no guarantees can be made that their gluten free menu is truly gluten free and won’t be cross contaminated. This was our first Carraba’s visit and may not be typical of other locations.

So grateful for Carraba's! My experience today was awesome, especially it being my first time here! Our server was very knowledgeable about gluten and Celiac. The menu is clear on what is GF and the options are endless.

Any pasta dish that they have can be made into a gluten free dish, since they offer gluten free noodles. Even the alfredo since they thicken their sauce with rice flour! You can also have the caesar salad, hold the crutons. This has easily become my new favorite Italian restaurant.

Love the new menu! The pork medallions were amazing! Do wish I could have enjoyed some bread with my family, an option for a pasta side would have made it a solid 5 stars.

GF nenu choices terrific. My entrée was cooked and seasoned perfect. Staff very attentive to my needs, and excellent service.

Time will tell now if the salad dressing and pasta sauces are indeed gluten free. But you have to have plenty of trust in any restaurant.

Ate here twice during my trip. Most pastas can be made gluten-free and are prepared separately from the regular pastas. Both waiters beat me to saying "no croutons" when I ordering the side salad; I appreciated them being aware of the different variables that go into making a meal gluten-free.
