Carrabba's

Easy to use menus marked with gluten free options, Pasta available. Multiple options available. Even had options for me with multiple allergies that tasted good without much hassle, server knew the ingredients in everything I ask d about.

We haven't had any issues here (yet). It's always scary for us in these places. But, no issues with mix ups and we've never gotten sick. It's good food, too! Just a little pricey for what you get IMO, but I appreciate having a safe place close to home to go out to eat at!

After reading the first review, I was very hesitant but still hungry. So I told the restaurant to give me a server who already knew about GlutenFree practices. They did, I ate and was very happy.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Service is majorly lacking, and they don't know what is or isn't gluten free even w/a menu listing! Also any veggies do not list all ingredients, the spinach has unlisted mushrooms, and steamed broccoli has pepper and onions in it.

The waiter was really concerned and worried about my wheat allergy and went out of the way to make sure all of my food was gluten free! I had amazing GF pasta in Alfredo sauce!

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.

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!
