Carrabba's Italian Grill Restaurant Review

This restaurant chain offers takeout of all items, and customers can watch their meals being prepared on the open grill, which dominates the interior. The menu features lots of grilled items, pizzas and pastas. There are many pizzas to choose from, and even more if you add all the variations that a customer can have on their Ti Piace pizza (Italian for create your own). But not everyone comes...

We were hoping for a good dinner it didn't happen. We got seated and menu placed in front of us that was the last thing that happened to us no water, or someone to take our order. I try to get someone's attention no luck so after 20 minutes of waiting we left. I told the receptionist and got a...

The service was OK - the food typical of Carrabba's - however, it was a bit dirty. Not up to the normal quality.

There were about 36 of us and we were seated in the middle of the restaurant. Staff were attentive and courteous. I believe everyone was happy with his/her meal. I chose the spicy lentils and sausage soup which was excellent. My entree was spaghetti with sausages. The pasta was over cooked and I sent it back asking for al dente....

We were looking for an Italian restaurant, our first choice had already closed for lunch. Driving by this appeared to look nice. The service was great but food the food was not. I had a chicken Ceasar salad. It was far from a typical Ceasar salad. I am not sure what the dressing was, it was not a Ceasar dressing...

We make frequent visits to Williamsburg from Suffolk and before we return home we usually stop at this store to eat. We noticed right way the inside had been remodeled and it looked really nice. There were also some new menu items available. I ordered the linguini with clam sauce and my wife ordered a grilled chicken dish with pasta....

We made a call-ahead for our dinner here since it was a Saturday and the Kentucky Derby was on. When I called I specifically requested a table in the bar area so we could watch the race while eating. When we arrived they had us down for a call-ahead, but, the person taking it earlier in the day did not...

I was in Williamsburg last week to pick up our daughter from college. After an exhausting day moving her out of her dorm, it was wonderful to roll into Carrabba's for a relaxing, delicious meal. We had eaten there before and thoroughly enjoyed both the food and atmosphere. This time was no different- except for one thing..I accidentally left my...

Carrabba's was able to get in a party of 16. We called before we left the golf course on a Thursday evening. We all sat the long table with stools near the bar. The food was excellent and the staff were great.

Up until this visit I had found Carrabba's to be a consistently good chain. Service was ok, but the food was not. Hubby requested pasta with garlic, olive oil, and sausage - this was a menu item without the usual tomatoes. No garlic, no flavor, dry.
I had lobster ravioli , which must have snoozed under the heat lamp. Sauce...

Group of 7. Everyone satisfied with their meal. Veal marsala was tender and plentiful. Cavatappi could have used a bit more sauce, but pasta was perfectly al dente. One of the seafood specials was delicious, and the seafood skewer was also appreciated. Even the accompanying rice was rich in flavor.
Initially, we were not given the Mother's Day special drink...

We typically try new places while on vacation, but Carrabba's is always delicious, consistent and good service. Hubby and daughter split the Steak Marsala, which they always love here. I had the chicken bryan/steak Marsala combo. It was excellent. We always love the bread and dipping oil as well. Great service and we actually purchased the $50 gift card, in...

We went to Carrabba' s for a nice family dinner. Our family had pizza, salad, and ravioli. The pizza was very popular that night because there was a special deal on them.

I can't recall the last time my entire party was disappointed with food quality. Three of us for dinner arrived around 730. All our food arrived lukewarm and it was all relatively bland. The only reason this rating is average is the wait staff was excellent. No way we'll go back.

Upon arrival we had to wait but we were given the buzzer and invited to to look around at the Yankee Candle store which I thought was great. the wait was not long but the food and service was worth it. the staff was very pleasant and the atmosphere was very comfortable and inviting.

Carrabba's is probably the same wherever you go, but it's a nice place for a reasonably quick Italian meal. We had a very nice server, Zoe.

On a busy Saturday nite before Christmas, I ventured into the Williamsburg Carrabba's. The overall experience was wonderful. The only drawback is that one of the bartenders was a tad rude the servers and some guests. Even if he was kidding, I found it somewhat unprofessional.

This place is always bustling. This is like the place Yogi commented on to a rookie one time. He said, "Nobody goes there anymore. It's too crowded."
The bread and olive oil spiced dip is marvelous. But aside from knowing exactly how long to cook the pasta, they use copious amounts of olive oil and offer generous fresh, grated parmesan.

Carraba's is fairly widely dispersed round the country. The menu is similar in all locations. The menu has recently been revised and probably not for the better. The option for smaller entrees have been eliminated and an additional charge added for various sauces. The service is good, the bread good, the food reliably good. We have often seen people waiting...

Crowded, noisy, and average service. Food slightly above average in variety, although much less than average in quality. Food lacked reasonable amounts of sauce on the pasta dishes.
