    Caprese and cherry tomatoes
    Nina D.

    Sat right away on a Friday evening. My daughter was craving Italian so we decided to come back. Really enjoy the olive oil and bread. This time as an appetizer we got the caprese salad with cherry tomatoes and was so perfect! Place was pretty clean and service was just fine.

    If I could give Carrabba's Italian Grill a 100% rating, I absolutely would! I highly recommend visiting Carrabba's Italian Grill located at 1217 N Battlefield Blvd, Chesapeake, VA 23320 if you are looking for outstanding Italian cuisine, exceptional service, and a welcoming atmosphere. My experience was fantastic from the moment I walked through the door until the time I left. The staff made me feel genuinely welcomed, appreciated, and comfortable throughout my visit. The restaurant was clean, inviting, and created the perfect setting for an enjoyable dining experience. The food was absolutely delicious and exceeded my expectations in every way. Each dish was prepared with care, packed with flavor, and beautifully presented. It is clear that the team at Carrabba's takes pride in providing highnquality meals and ensuring that every guest leaves satisfied. What impressed me most was the level of customer service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and dedicated to making sure every detail of my visit was enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu, happy to answer questions, and went above and beyond to create a memorable experience. In a time when exceptional customer service can be difficult to find Carrabba's Italian Grill stands out as a restaurant that truly values its guests. Whether you're dining with family, friends, or celebrating a special occasion this location provides an experience that keeps you wanting to come back. I have already recommended Carrabba's Italian Grill to family and friends, and I look forward to returning again soon. If you're searching for delicious Italian food, outstanding hospitality, and a restaurant that consistently delivers a wonderful dining experience Carrabba's Italian Grill in Chesapeake is definitely worth a visit.

    The kitchen, Mr. Mark tonight the calamari and the salads came at the same time and 10 minutes later came my entrée. I feel like I'm being rushed out of here. I'm boxing everything to go and I will finish my wine and leave. Not sure when or if I'll be back.

    We recently had dinner at Carrabba's located on Battlefield Boulevard, near the corner of Volvo, in the heart of Chesapeake. We like sitting at the bar and chatting with the bartenders. They were very friendly and helpful. The food was good and we had a great experience here.

    Shrimp and Scallop Linguine alla Vodka

    This was VERY UNDERWHELMING. Probably my most underwhelming eating so far this hear. It IS Carrabba's so the expectations wasn't high. But the execution of this dish was wrong. You can tell that the dish itself and the recipe of the dish isn't bad. However it was the person cooking it. First off it the vodka wasn't cooked and reduced. If you KNOW, you can taste that they didn't reduce it, and toss the pasta in with it. Whoever cooked this definitely didn't do this. The linguine had NO flavor once so ever. This was definitely terrible. However it was edible and the service wasn't the worst. So I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1.

    Linguine primavera with shrimp part of the flavors of spring menu

    Came in Wednesday around 2pm. Jamila our server was excellent. Everyone worked together in the restaurant to make it a pleasant experience. Whoever is managing this establishment keep up the good work. I definitely see an improvement in the food and service. Everything we had was good. Our table of 4 had the pasta weesie, chicken Marsala, chicken Carrabbas and chicken Bryan. I will definitely return again when I'm in town

    Meatball & Ravioli Malfatti

    This carrabas is less than a mile from my house it is quickly becoming a staple for me... food is Always good and quick, I've dined in alone, with a small group, and take out. The wait staff are always awesome, it's nice and always clean and the vibe is nice. The happy hour is top tier! Honestly it's the food for me... I tried 2 new items the other day the Bourbon Pork Chop ... yoooo it's 2 days worth of sassy goodness and the new meatball ravioli wow.. for me always a 10 out of 10. Ok wait twice they forgot something in my delivery order... it wasn't the Food...one time it was my Panni water and the other my soup...but they refunded me when I called. Over all I love this place!

    NEW Veal Piccata. Served just like that with nothing else on the plate. (The bread is from the bread basket. )
    Marie F.

    I have loved Carrabba's for many years. But they keep changing the menu, and it's pretty disappointing. Everything is delicious for sure. I am certain the entrees like Picatta, Salmon, etc., used to either come with spaghetti, or it was available as a side. Now, the only side pasta option is Rigatoni. Who wants Rigatoni with a fish or other meat? And why is Spaghetti not a side option in an Italian restaurant?? Makes no sense, in my humble opinion. I got the Asparagus w/Veal Piccata entree, which came on a separate plate and 3 minutes after the veal. It was just disjointed. The $10 take home is a GREAT idea! With a dine-in entree, you can order a takeout entree of equal or lesser price to go for $10! Took advantage of that, yessiree.

    My Aunt and I did the sangria dinner 10/10 would recommend! The food was absolutely delicious paired perfectly with the sangria! The service was outstanding and very accommodating! I don't eat pork, and the host made sure my dishes did not come with bacon. I honestly can't wait for the upcoming events.

    We ordered takeout and the pasta was overcooked and greasy on the fettuccine. My sister's chicken pasta with sauce was not much better.

Can't say that am partial as the owner is an acquaintance but I do know that he works hard and has a presence in the kitchen himself and comes out to mingle to make the ambiance friendly and personable. The service is very friendly. I was immediately greeted at the door not only by the wait staff Sarah! but those in the kitchen. Giving very local neighborly vibe! With the weather being 100 degrees, I wanted to start off with the gelato bomb. It was vanilla and chocolate gelato enrobed in chocolate that was thin enough to crack and enjoyed with a spoon. IG has maraschino cherry in it. I also decided to order something light, so ended up with the caprese salad. In other places they use large heirloom tomatoes but use of cherry tomatoes here works as well. Love the balsamic dressing, seems authentic with it being a great balance of sweet and tart, not watered down. Would definitely come back for a pizza next time.

    Why have you not tried this place yet? Seriously, go right now. It's fairly new to the area, but…read moreit's the wood fired pizza you've been wanting. I had the la bandiera which is a nod to the Italian flag. The pesto was super tasty, and the sauce you could tell was fresh made. The cheese is even higher quality than you find most places. My husband had the Giuseppina angry style which means it had the spicy arriabiata sauce. It's not overwhelming with spice but the flavor profile is perfectly "angry". This is a true family run restaurant. Everyone you see is family. They treat YOU like family. Welcoming, friendly. The menu is small right now focused on pizza. There are several different kinds of sauces to choose from as well. The pizzas come out super fast and are very large dinner plate size, 4 large slices for each pie. There are plans to add other family recipes that include pasta. The chef/owner is outgoing and checks to make sure you are enjoying what you ordered. He will share their restaurant story--ask him. It's worth knowing, because it was their dream to do this. So what are you waiting for? Go get your pie!

Time your visit well, and you'll be rewarded with a sunset that is nothing short of spectacular--an ideal backdrop for an already memorable dining experience. The restaurant strikes a rare balance: refined without being pretentious. The atmosphere leans toward fine dining, yet the dress code is refreshingly unforced. Jackets and ties coexist comfortably with shorts and flip-flops--a subtle nod to Chesapeake's "come as you are" sensibility. Whether you arrive by boat or by car, the experience begins the moment you step inside. We started with the ahi carpaccio and a classic Caesar salad--both fresh, well-composed, and thoughtfully prepared. For entrées, my wife chose the crab-stuffed shrimp, finished with a lemon-herb beurre blanc and accompanied by sautéed vegetables. It was an excellent dish--rich, balanced, and, notably, not shared. I opted for the 13-ounce New York strip with a garlic and herb demi-glace. Cooked to a precise medium-rare, the steak was properly seasoned and executed with confidence. In a moment of generosity, I offered a few bites across the table--well received, though her loyalty remained with her own selection. From the waterfront setting to the attentive service and well-crafted cuisine, Amber Lantern delivers a dining experience that feels both special and approachable. It's a place worth seeking out--and returning to.

It was very bland and the drinks were very bad as well The bartender did not know what she was doing. I had to return the drink twice. It was just a lemon drop pretty easy to make. I ended up exchanging it for a wine. My husband had a old-fashioned. It was very watered down and sweet. It's a shame it's a beautiful restaurant, but it's literally been a run by kids right now. They need a better management team in there to overlook everything. Everything got late to our table. It wasn't our waitress fault she was so apologetic. I really want more for this place. It's so pretty and it has a great view. I would recommend new management or manager and to upgrade the menu and train the bartenders . I feel bad leaving this review, but I just wish this restaurant the best !
