As a very sensitive Celiac, Italian food restaurants cause me the most anxiety. I have been glutened by GF pasta at restaurants, too many times to mention. I reluctantly took my chances here. So happy I did. I had absolutely no reaction to the pasta or the chicken that I chose. The taste was by far the best GF pasta that I have eaten at a restaurant. It wasn’t overcooked or mushy. There were a lot of GF options on the menu. Very pleased with my meal and will definitely return.

Almost half if not more than half of the menu if gluten free! When I ordered the gluten free pasta, the chef came to personally deliver it and let me know how seriously they take gluten allergies. He made sure to mention that they took extra precautions when cooking my food to ensure cross contamination. I was extremely impressed and had no reaction at all. Easily a place I will be going back to!

Carrabba's is always been really good about my orders. I typically do carry out. Some of the veggies have bread crumbs on them and they always make sure to remind me and then offer to just steam some veggies with not topping. Never had a problem and always feel safe getting a GF meal at Carrabba's Crestview Hills Location!

The food tasted good, but I was severely glutened. The waiter was really nice and helpful, so I believe the error was from the kitchen- It was a busy Friday night (I wouldn't have dined here, but it was a family from out of town thing)

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.
