We came in on a Monday night, maybe 3 tables had people in it, very slow. Yet, we waited by the front counter for a solid 2 minutes before anyone acknowledged we were there. When someone finally came to show us to a table, we sat for another 5 minutes and weren't even offered water. There was a group of 4 or 5 employees that were standing near our table talking and no one served us, no one talked to us and avoided eye contact. We ended up walking out after the worst ten minutes of service we've ever experienced. Very unfortunate and left a bad taste in our mouths. It doesn't help that we are also POC and the only POC in the restaurant. read more

We had calamari as an appetizer and it was delicious. My husband had lasagna and he said it was the best he had ever had. I got the seafood meal as pictured but I sent it back due to the spiciness. It just burned my mouth. But they did well and I ordered the lasagna. The manager who looked very Italian. But he took care of things properly. We will go again for sure. read more

Just a quick update! I was called by the manager after my review and he was as upset as I was. They are sending gift cards and apologized for the experience which Covid has taken a toll on across the board. I will follow up when we go and eat there again. read more

Had dinner here last night; well, actually we ordered for takeout. I had the Linguine Positano w a Caesar salad, hubs had the Chicken Trio, and we shared the burrata and tomato appetizer. First, service was super fast for a Friday night (awesome!) and it was really easy to get as takeout. The food comes in HUGE portions, so definitely be prepared for that doggie bag! The burrata and tomato app was hands down my favorite thing and I will routinely be back just for that!! Soooo good!! The linguine was also good; nothing super outstanding but definitely good. Hubs said the chicken trio was delicious, but he ate it before I could even snap a pic!! Of the three, he though the marsala was the best. Neither of us ate our salads because we were so full from the meals, but they looked super fresh and were also HUGE! Was also served w fresh bread and olive oil/seasonings. Sooo good!! Will definitely be back! read more

Great sauce on the seafood pasta. Good atmosphere and wait staff. Good specials also.

We love coming to Carrabbas for dinner. We always get excellent service and the food is always on point. I almost always get the Tuscan Grilled chicken and my husband enjoys the Chicken Bryan. The fettuccini Alfredo is also really good! I love the large fettuccini noodles! They keep our drinks full and endless bread and herbs! read more

This is our GO TO date night Italian food. We always get the trio and split it! service is world class and the noise level is just right !! I have NEVER had a bad experience here !!! everything is on point !! ! read more

Carrabbas never disappoints! I like this Gilbert location because it's a little bit more laid-back than the Mesa but also seems a little bit smaller at the same time! Same great food though! And happy to have a new location!! read more

I found nothing special about this restaurant as my hubby said the same thing vs Olive Garden. Maybe they offer different kind of soups and salad is not unlimited refill. Maybe I will give it another try soon. read more

Food was excellent and so was the service. Be careful of their chicken noodle soup, it has bones in it! I mentioned it to the server and he said yes, we put whole chickens in our soup so of course there are bones in there. Yikes! I could not finish eating that soup. Somebody is going to choke on a bone one of these days, not a good way to serve soup. Makes me wonder what other weird cooking practices they have. read more

Three point six seven nine stars. I have some gift cards from Carrabba's and I must say that even though I am fairly anti-chain and pro-independent...Carrabba's ain't half bad. As a matter of fact it's better than half good. The service here was outstanding and the food was well beyond just ok - better than I was expecting from a chain. We ordered several things to share amongst the family - spaghetti with meatballs, chicken caeser salad, mozzarella sticks. I particularly enjoyed the chicken caesar salad. I still prefer independents but Carrabba's is a safe chain apparently. I think. read more

Once I tried their steak, I knew I'd be going against the old adage: Don't go to an Italian restaurant for a steak. Went on a Friday night. Ordered a modified antipasti appetizer. Was kind of surprised at the skimpy portions, for a $12 appetizer. Good taste though. Love the fried zucchini, as they were cut like french fries and battered. The sirloin was tasty, although the Marsala was a bit scanty. My daughter loved her Pollo Rosa Maria, but found the baked veggies to appear less than appetizing (although she appreciated the healthy cooking method). My salmon had a great consistency and was flavorful, but had a smidge of a fishy taste. The tiramisu had a strong rum flavor, and did not rank well against others I've had from different eateries. Without alcohol, dinner, beverages and 1 dessert for 3 was close to $100 with tip. read more

We are regulars at Market St. location and almost always very happy in all respects. Food, service is great.

I am always treated very well at Carraba's. The service is quick, friendly and on point. As we were seated, our waiter was in the middle of taking an order at another table so a different waiter, I want to say his name is Bryan......he kindly came over to fill our drink orders since our waiter was busy. I thought that was a nice touch to step in. Not that I was in a hurry, just that it was good team work on his part and showed excellent customer service. After our waiter finished up at the other table he came over and introduced to himself. I find that the Carraba staff are always very friendly and professional. My daughter ordered the Chicken Bryan. $15.99. Topped with goat cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil and lemon butter sauce. Scrumptious! I had the Fettuccine Weezy, $16.59. My favorite. Fettuccine Alfredo with sauteed shrimp, garlic and mushrooms in our white wine lemon butter sauce. Sometimes the flavor of Alfredo can be strong but this tones down the flavor with the wine lemon butter sauce. All the flavors meld together so nicely and bring extra dimension of flavors. Highly recommend giving this a try. Another one to try is the Chicken Trio.$22.79. If you want to sample a couple different chicken dishes this is the one for you. Or if you just can't make up or you mind. This Trio comes with: Bryan, Marsala and Rosa Maria read more

Carrabba's has gone really downhill! I remember about 10 years ago Carrabba's being THE spot, but every single time I've gone in over the years, I've had the absolute worst experience. The servers aren't busy due to the low volume of guests coming in, so you'd think that their service would be much better because they only have one or two tables. That is not the case. We waited about 20 minutes to be greeted, and then our server left in the middle of our dining experience and another server came by, it was so confusing and very unprofessional. Don't get me wrong, The food is great! But great food doesn't make up for bad service. I don't know what happened to this place but you guys need some work. I can name about 20 things that they could improve, and this business would instantly be better not only for the establishment, but also for the guest. Here's an idea: Make the guest feel welcomed and wanted! It seems like Carrabba's has gotten used to the lack of customers coming in, so they've grown lazy and you can see the lack of effort that is now being poured into this establishment. Too bad. The food was so good. It's a shame. read more

Great food and service. Trystn and justin are the best!!! Highly recommend it. Food is very good!!!

Absolutely the worst chicken parmigiana I've ever had. Wouldn't even eat it. Full of water and a rancid smell. Friend ordered lobster ravioli ... tasted frozen. Two stars for good service but will never go back. Gross read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Water and rancid chicken parm - Italian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

Though I am not a huge Italian food person, it's okay. With that said, the food here was good and the service was excellent. So, despite me not loving Italian food, they get a 5 star from me for food presentation, maybe a 4 1/2 star for the food, and 5 star for service. There were several big parties at the time we were there. Each table seemed to be serviced well. We had a big party of 13 people. My husband got some Pork Tenderloin thing wrapped in Proscuitto and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. He said the pork was delish. He also got the Caesar Salad as it came with his dish and he totally LOVED the Caesar Salad. My husband does not care for salads, but he raved about this salad and asked if I could make it for him at home. Anyway, he is a meat man, so him wanting salad is pretty much a miracle. I was able to find the recipe for this Caesar dressing online and when I made it, my husband ate 3 huge servings of it for dinner last night. I got the Chicken Parmesan with Fettucine Alfredo. That was okay. The chicken parmesan was a bit dry and it's not their fault I'm not a huge Italian noodle fan. My son had Mezzaluna, which is like chicken raviolis. He said it was okay. My daughter had Fettucine Weesie, which is Fettucine with Shrimp & Scallops in a lemon butter sauce. I can't remember what everyone else ordered, but my mom wasn't happy with the original thing, so they remade it for her and it was done to her satisfaction. Our 2 servers constantly refilled our drinks and water. Everything was good, so no issues. Thank you for a good dinner with my family!!! read more

I ordered some take out from here last week. Prompt service, and excellent customer service. My order was pretty simple; pasta with tomato sauce and a salad. The salad was good, and I enjoyed the dressing. They also gave me bread and olive oil with a packet of seasoning. Also good. The pasta was nice and it was a good sized portion. I should start this on my lunch rotation at work. Overall, it was good! read more

My husband and I had dinner here and we loved it. I had the Mezzaluna (half-moon ravioli). My husband had the seafood fettuccine (Fettuccine Weesie). He couldn't stop talking about how good his meal was! Mine was delicious! I also appreciated that everything was served hot. That can be a challenge for some restaurants but not here. We are definitely going back for more yummy food. read more

Tonight we ordered curbside take out. When picking up my order we had a $50 gift card so I attempted to use it. The staff said there was not any $ on my card so I quickly called and verified the balance and to make sure it was activated on blue tooth. The staff said she would try once again. She returned and said she spoke with the manager and was told that the gift card needs to be run through a special machine and this machine was not working. She said I needed to run the balance on a different card and they cannot accept the gift card. Food was decent but as a manager they should have verified the balance and deducted it from the bill. Running the card again once the machine is working. Been to this location a bunch, probably won't be back! read more

I was just turned down trying to make a reservation for a party of 15 booking a day in advance in the middle of the week. Manager was curt and unhelpful. Didn't offer any alternatives - like splitting the group into two tables. Just didn't care. Got a $200 gift card for the Carrabbas/Outback group. Family in from out of town - thought this would be perfect and cover half the bill. Can I bring it in and you just give me the $200 so we can eat somewhere else? read more

Honestly it's always a different experience everytime I go. Happy hour pricing is in the entire bar area. Seat your self. Then oh no happy hour is in just the high tops you must be seated on the booths. Then oh no sit anywhere in the bar. Regardless. Once we get seated, service is good. Food is tasty. Apps are good that's about it. Everything else is overpriced. read more

Came here on a wednesday night. Sat down quickly. Someone took are drink order as our server was busy. We thought it was going to be a horrible night out. After getting our drinks, Mason our waiter came over and then brought awesome bread! My wife got Chicken Marsala with garlic mashed potatoes while I got the Pasta Carrabba which is chicken alfredo. We both loved our food! The soup had huge real pieces of chicken. The biggest pieces I have ever seen in soup. It was the same kind of chicken that comes in an entree. So not the cheap chicken. At the end, we spoke to Mason about other places n such. He stated they do not have a microwave at all and everything is cooked from scratch! For me and my wife it was $43 out the door including tax and tip of $7. My wife ordered water for a drink and I got an iced tea. Just remember you get what you pay for, so all in all if you want a great Italian dinner then I'd highly recommend Carrabba's. read more

I was skeptical about Carrabba's at first thinking that their food would taste like Olive Garden (Mike don't kill me for saying that haha) Ohhh man I was wrong, the food was great! One of the best chicken marsala I've ever had and the mash that comes along with it was perfect! The meatballs and lasagna were on point! Mike is awesome! He is very welcoming and genuinely nice. I'm sure his staff appreciates him. Great service and very good Italian food! read more

Horrible food, steak was ordered medium well came out rare, ordered chicken picata and was only cooked on one side, zucchini fries were limp, full of grease, it was just bad. Carrabas used to be fantastic when Mike and Jay was there, service great, food fantastic. Since they left it has gone to Dennys style of food. With the pandemic lightening up they should be top notch to keep their customers, not running them away! read more

One of my favorite Italian franchises- kind of over priced but high quality. Appetizer bread and herbs is to die for. The happy hour deals are decent with $3-$5 drinks and decent appetizer cost too. Pasta is excellent as well as grill favorites. Everything is super fresh and the white and black dressed servers are prompt and professional! 10/10 read more

Had a gift card, so we decided to visit for happy hour. The happy hour deal is 1/2 off their appetizers, plus some drink specials. So this is really a review of their appetizers. We didn't get an entree. We ordered the bruscetta, the calamari, and the arranzini (I think that's the name). The bruschetta was really good. I liked it a lot. If everything else was that good I'd probably go at least 4 stars. The arranzini were sorta like meatballs but they weren't all meat. There was other stuff in them. Sort of reminded me of falafel. They were pretty good. A solid three stars there. The calamari was a disappointment. It was cooked well enough (usually the problem is they do it wrong and it's like chewing on a tire). But the seasoning was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too salty. I mean getting-a-mouth-full-of-sea-water salty. To their credit they took it back, but then brought out a batch with no seasoning. Imagine calamari with no seasoning...yeah...zzzzzzzzz. Somewhere between chewing on rock salt and no seasoning is a happy place called "properly seasoned". Their chef should look into that. I can't quite bring myself to give the calamari two stars. Gotta go with one. Just not good. Only the marinara dipping sauce made it tolerable. So, overall, three stars. You could do better, you could do worse. At least for appetizers. Perhaps I'll return and do an entree. I still have a balance on that gift card. read more

I am NOT a fan of Chain food restaurants and the reason being is that I worked the food industry when I was younger. Living in the area that I was in, we did not have chains....chain of lakes but not food. Of course we had Mc D ect. I was used to private owed and ran biz.... and love it. So I do enjoy that I can go 2 blocks from home and get good food and amazing service read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Pepperoni, Meatball, Sausage and Fresh Garlic Pizza topped with fresh Parm. The food and service is always amazing at this location. - Italian Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

We've dined at this location approximately 4 times in the last 2 years. Each visit has been terrific! The ambiance is cozy, the staff is friendly and the menu has a lot to choose from. They have a fun drinks menu, offer beer, wine, and tasty appetizers. The price for a meal is $15-20.00 but each meal comes with bread, soup or salad and entree. This restaurant would be fun for date night as well. I would recommend this establishment to family and friends. Solid 5 stars! read more

This is one of my all time favorite (stateside) Italian restaurants. The service is always friendly, the food is always large portions, piping hot, and delicious! I see some people have left negative reviews, weather it be from service, or food... but I'm here to say that I've never had a single bad experience here. I think our favorite part is the bread with oil and herbs they give you while you wait for your meal... no need to buy an appetizer as the bread is so damn good especially when you dip it in the herb oil. Talking with our waiter the last time we were there, we discovered that they are going to be changing up their menu a bit. They are bringing in some new classic Italian fare, and removing some of their less popular dishes. I think the new menu sounds amazing, and personally can't wait to try it out. Anyhow, if you love good Italian at a decent price, then you should try Carrabba's... Much better then Olive Garden IMHO. read more

Ok so we ordered carry out on Valentines Day, I expect it to be busy. But to wait fir a half hour for an incorrect and inadequate meal is annoying. Attached are 2 pictures, 1 is supposed to be Spaghetti Bolognese, looks like Spaghetti and meatballs with no sauce right?

Had this location cater my Easter party, and it was the best food we have had! Everything was perfect and our whole family loved it!

We absolutely LOVE Carraba's ! The food and service is always superior in every way! I had filet Marsala with grilled asparagus which was cooked perfectly! My husband had the new fontina and prosciutto stuffed pork chops with zucchini stefano (zucchini, tomatoes, onion and roasted garlic) which was so delicious! For desert we had cinnamon apple crostata and pumpkin bread pudding; both with ice cream and caramel sauce. Did I mention the service is fantastic?! We love this place! read more

We've always enjoyed Carrabba's but last night was horrible. My husbands soup was cold and his Pork Chops were over cooked. They also forgot to bring him the 2nd beer he asked for. My salad was 1/2 yellow bitter romaine lettuce. I passed on the offer of cold soup so I went without anything. My Chicken Bryan was good, and the manager said he'd give us dessert to go?? They didn't ask if we'd like to eat it there. He brought us one bagged up chocolate dessert. Since I hate chocolate we purchased a Apple/Carmel dessert ($8.99)I opened the dessert when we got home and the apple pastry was burned. The free take home Lasagne was not the same as I've ordered in the past. It was small and dried out. So now I was really disappointed. I threw it in the trash along with the burned Apple Dessert. We'll never go back especially after spending $80 for poor customer service and food we couldn't eat. read more
