Carrabba's Italian Grill

Carrabba’s has become one of my go-to spots, and for good reason—it’s got the reliability of a chain but the heart of a local gem. The moment I walk in, I feel at ease. The soft lighting, the rustic-yet-refined decor, and that incredible aroma of garlic butter in the air—it's a whole mood. And then there’s the food! As someone who eats gluten-free, it's refreshing eating a pasta that actually tastes like a savory pasta. The wood-grilled salmon is seasoned and tender, the Minestrone Soup is rich and comforting, and even their salads keep the flavor alive without missing a beat. But what truly makes me a regular? The people. The staff is welcoming without being overbearing, professional but never stiff. And the management—huge props to them for creating such a warm, seamless experience. It’s that rare kind of effortless hospitality that makes me feel like part of 'the family'. At the end of the day, Carrabba’s is more than just a meal—it’s a place that feels like home, with delicious food and genuine service that keeps me coming back.

Been years since I visited a Carrabba's, and the one I went to was in Pensacola. I loved it... however, not this one. We were seated right away. Took a long time just to get drinks. We ordered two appetizers. Finally took our dinner orders. One of our friends had to special order because he is gluten intolerant. So when his food came, they handed him someone else's plate. Had to reorder his and it never came. So he went without dinner. They weren't that busy to be so disorganized. The place didn't seem clean enough. Very disappointed. Will not return.
