They have a lot of gluten-free dishes and sides that you can easily locate on their normal menu, and the kitchen will toss salads in a separate bowl if you ask so you don’t have to worry about any cross contamination with crouton crumbs. They can also make their pomodoro pasta with gluten-free pasta as a side dish and it tastes like completely normal pasta. I have celiac and have never felt left out or disappointed by their options, nor have I ever gotten sick after eating here. Would 10/10 recommend.

Third time eating here in 8 months. Every time I make it VERY CLEAR that I am allergic to dairy and gluten (yes I know the correct word is gluten “intolerant”). Today I was told all the meat sauces have gluten in the form of bread crumbs. Makes zero sense. Why have gluten free pasta if all I can have is plain tomato sauce? And it explains why I had a reaction the last two times I ate there, which I chalked up to something else. I am done with Carabbas since they obviously don’t take allergies as seriously as they say.

Good food and many GF options but I have had three bad experiences where croutons were in my salad or the wrong noodles in my past dish . Stuff happens but shouldn't happen over and over again

Many gluten-free options to choose from! Our waitress even double-checked with both the chefs and the manager to ensure a sauce was gluten-free!

I had the house salad with creamy parmesan dressing, chicken trio and garlic mashed potatoes. I was so pleased that I did not get sick. I did tell the waitress I had celiac disease / label my order with an allergy to gluten so the kitchen would prepare with care.

Wheat Allergy

Overall Rating

Review


Service was great, but I found the server to be a bit nervous. New hire maybe? I informed him of my wheat allergy. I ordered the shrimp scampi. He asked if I wanted appetizer size. I said yes. The app size came with a handful of small shrimp surrounded by toasted slices of bread. I first asked where the pasta was (there was none) and was about to question why there was bread on my plate when the plate was quickly wisked away and I was asked, "I thought you wanted the appetizer. Maybe it's me, but I have served for many a number of years... I would have double checked that order, esp with a wheat allergy. Too much to worry about there.any celiacs have no clues as to the disease...being allergic will always let you know! Servers need to be more educated. I will go back, but I don't expect servers to know better!

Considering this is a chain, it was an amazing place. They were very careful, even though the rest of my family are gluten eaters, they kept everything separate. Ask and ye shall receive. The food was soooo good and we all had enough for leftovers!

Went back several times and I have never been sick. The chicken soup (without noodles) is the bomb. Like I order it take-out when I’m sick. Just like grandma used to make, but they don’t add any noodles until they are about to serve it, so the soup is prepared gluten-free.
