On the way to Icon Park, we decided to stop to at Carrabba's. Our waiter was very nice. He made sure we had everything we needed and then some. From the extra bread to drinks. Inside was very cozier. The perfect date night spot but we came mid day. I ended up ordering the Chicken Marsala with the Cesar Salad. Everything was so good. Even after being full I didn't want to stop eating it. Definitely need to come back for me! read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Italian Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Today, seated at the bar, my service was a bit slower than normal, but that was NOT any reflection whatsoever on my wonderful server Avery. He was obviously 'stretched a bit thin' on staffing and was having to multi-task like a boss. Super work, Avery!! The items I order were all extremely tasty, and the adult beverages were refreshing as an accompaniment. Everything I observed in the bar area, as well as the main dining room, was organized and clean. The plating is simple yet attractive. The other seated nearby at the bar seemed to be enjoying their dining experience as well (again, thanks to great service paired with tasty food). This is a location I continue to say is VERY easily recommended. Go! Enjoy!! read more

Brought my Italian food loving boyfriend to his first dinner at a Carrabba's. We were seated right away in the bar area. The service was great and our server was on top of everything making sure we had everything we needed. I started with a glass of the red sangria which was refreshing. Also, the bread for table is simple and delicious. For an appetizer we started with the Mezzaluna Fritte. They were crispy and paired with a flavorful sauce. For entrees we got the chicken parmigiana with a side of Alfredo pasta and baked ziti with meatballs. My baked ziti had a fresh garden salad to start. The ziti was plentiful and so good. The chicken parm got a decent review. We did not do the deal, however, there was a sign offering a $10 take home entree with the purchase of a entree which I thought was a good deal for the price. read more

This location was close to the hotel we stayed at in Orlando, and my son loves everything pasta. We got sat within a few minutes and our server came around after about 5 minutes to take our drink order. They had a good wine selection, I ended up getting the house cabernet. My son loves pasta with sauce on the side, and they were happy to accommodate. I ordered Chicken Parmesan and my husband and I shared it, it was good, maybe a bit over fried. It came with a side of pasta which was good as well as some bread with olive oil and herb dipping sauce. We just felt like the prices were a bit high and I assume that was because we were so close to Universal. read more

Katie Rose Knows! This Italian girl just had to visit! I also had a gift card and it's been a minute! The merry martini was more than a delight! And the ribeye steak was cooked just right! The upgrades, the boxed "to go for 10 bucks." I thought I just had a stroke of good luck! All in all, the service was good! It was located near by old neighborhood. The ambiance of course could be a bit more warm, but I'd totally come back for the chicken parm! They've got new wines, and the pours were heavy! Don't forget about this Italian bevy! read more

Italian chain with a large interior. Loved our sever, he was very friendly and efficient. I enjoyed the sangria and also the shrimp and scallop pasta I got. They were able to sub the sauce for me without cream. I also enjoyed the lentil soup. Happily would return. read more

Ordered the Tuscan-Grilled Pork Chop (2 chops) with Grilled Asparagus, Sautéed Broccoli, and Caesar Salad for pickup. The order was ready when we got there at the promised time. Staff was welcoming and friendly. The Pork Chop meal is definitely large enough to split in half and make another meal. The pork chops are of a generous size and were tender and juicy. The meal also came with bread. read more

Love Italian food and $8 cocktail happy hours? Look no further than Carrabba's Italian Grill 4pm-6pm Happy Hour Monday-Friday. The deals are at the bar only but why not when there is a great, friendly bar tender helping you and providing bread with oil and Italian seasonings to get you started. The ambiance is that of a typical Italian eatery and was nice and clean, really no complaints there. Plus with the delicious cocktails you will not worry about it anyways. I recommend this for a nice little change up and different place to Happy Hour. read more

We were seated at one of May's tables and lucked out on having the best server ever! May was warm, friendly, patient, helpful, and funny. The conversation with May was as good as our meal. From our beverages to appetizer to entrees, May was popping in to check on us quickly and deliver a smile. May knows how to engage with her customers, and when an exceptional server is paired with a strong kitchen, dining out becomes much more special. Thank you, May, for an incredible dining experience. And it's not because we bonded over California or the delight of seeing Daou wines on your menu. You are just a wonderful human. You have spoiled us for other servers. Thank you! read more

We walked in at 8:30 pm to a totally empty restaurant and bar. However, the service was somehow still bad. We sat at the empty bar and the brunette female bartender looked at us but said nothing. No "hello," no nothing. Then she disappeared for 10 minutes. This might be excusable in a very busy restaurant, but in an empty one? What's the justification? It was truly one of the most bizarre customer service experiences ever. Since we value our time, we left and went to Delmonicos nearby. There, the bartender warmly greeted us in 10 seconds despite it being very busy. Carrabbas lost out on a $100+ tab because their service stunk. Actions have consequences. Hopefully the proprietor will learn from this folly. read more

I am not a fan of Carrabba's happy hour charcuterie board but I love their classic starters like the lentil soup, Caprese salad and calamari. The charcuterie board is new for the happy hour menu. It really needs some citrus or something sweet or spicy. I guess my expectations for this type of meal is higher than it used to be. It seemed like not a lot of effort was put into the choice of ingredients. A couple kinds of salami not prosciutto wrapped around cheese. A bunch of Italian bread garlic toast, a ramekin of blue cheese, ramekins of some kind of flavorless white cheese and burrata. They were out of the small portion of olives so I asked for grape tomatoes. It was garnished with whole grain mustard. The lentil soup which is a slightly spicy sausage soup never disappoints unless they are out of it. The calamari was crisp hot and the breading was just right. I sat at the bar and had excellent service. Even though it was one server and she was also covering the tables in the bar, I never wanted for anything. read more

Service was excellent, our server was incredibly kind and attentive, which we really appreciated! Unfortunately, the food didn't quite live up to expectations. About a third of my steak was fatty and underdone, and the "steamed broccoli" looked pretty lifeless. The rosemary parmesan fries, which cost extra, felt like an afterthought, just some seasoning sprinkled on top. Nothing was outright bad, but for the price point, it just wasn't all that memorable. read more

I enjoy having Happy Hours here. Small clean place with friendly bartenders and waitress. I like the 8 dollar bites like chicken wings, calamari and frites. I enjoyed the old fashions. My favorite drink. Nice selections for happy hour. read more

Ate at Carrabba's for Father's Day. We saw a sign that they were giving bonus cards with purchase of gift cards. The hostess was kind enough to let us know that there was a special and you got double bonus cards on Father's Day only! So we used the gift cards on Father's Day and will be going back soon to use the bonus cards There were 7 of us and we all enjoyed our food. My brother and his wife had their food originally come out cold and asked to send it back. The server was apologetic and got them hot / fresh food without question. In addition, when we received our bill the server let us know that the manager was so sorry about the cold food that he took it off the bill. Shows how much they care about service. Everything was delicious, especially the meatballs. It's become a family joke now, as when my brother first bit into his meatball he burst out with " THYS IS A FLIPPIN' good meatball". And we all just kept repeating that through the mesl read more

It has been years since I visited Carrabba's, honestly, I didn't think they were still open...I think a lot of people might think that since it was very empty on the night we went. Overall, the food isn't anything spectacular, but there are a few things that are better than others. First, grab the meatball appetizer. It's not all that big, but the flavor is very good and it was an enjoyable bite or tow. However, skip the chicken soup - unless you like hot water, because it had no flavor. I didn't have a salad, but I would anticipate them to be a better choice. It's not news that the bread was fresh and the olive oil concoction was a great choice - bread for the win. But, skip the sauces, they aren't worth it. For an entree, I was pretty disappointed in my lasagna, it didn't look very good or taste very good. I hear that the short rib was good, but I didn't personally taste it. I can't say I'll be back soon, to try it for myself. read more

Don't get delivered! It took almost two hours! Unfortunately food was cold and it was too late to eat that much.

I hadn't been to a Carrabba's in years but had been given a gift card and decided to give it a try. I was truly impressed with the service and quality of the food. I had the Chicken Brian and it was amazing. Huge portion too. Our server was very attentive. The ambiance was pleasant as well. I definitely recommend this restaurant location. read more

Allison was an EXCELLENT SERVER! She was very attentive to our mealtime and we received the utmost care! She gave us top notch customer service. Because of the food, delicious!!

My family and I visited this Carrabba's while vacationing in Orlando. The food at Carrabba's always slaps: the bread was served warm and our dinner was nice and hot. We ordered the mozzarella sticks as an appetizer: they were hot and the cheese was nice and gooey, and the marinara sauce was chunky, sweet, and delicious. We also had a spicy Sicilian chicken soup: the noodles were perfectly al dente and the broth was flavorful. I had the mahi wulfe for dinner: my fish was cooked thoroughly but it was not as tender as I usually prefer. I had mashed potatoes and Alfredo pasta as my sides (the potatoes were savory and smooth, the Alfredo sauce on my pasta was a bit thicker than I prefer but it was still good). My eldest daughter ordered the spaghetti bolognese and she said she enjoyed it very much. My little one had chicken tenders and French fries (per usual) and ate every bite (that's not typical so they must've been great). The ambiance was family friendly (typical for Orlando, Florida). Our server (Jenice) was amazing. She was so sweet and attentive. At one point my daughter spilled water all over the booth seat and Jenice ran over with a towel and kindly offered a free dessert to my little one (she was crying after having endured water spillage on her dress). I'd definitely go back. read more

I do NOT recommend coming to this specific location, when ordering my food i had requested the Tomato basil soup & soup CAME WITH MY MEAL , I was informed by my server they do NOT have the Tomato Basil soup at this location due to the managers picking and choosing what they carry at this store. My server informed me they have the sausage lentil soup & the chicken soup. If you are a vegetarian wanting to come to this location and get soup , you should go elsewhere since they can NOT accommodate to that. Plenty of other locations carry the Tomato Basil soup so I will continue to go elsewhere. The meal i got comes with a soup & I was UNABLE to get it due to there options. Every single carrabba's I have personally been to have ALWAYS carried all of the soups. The managers need to do better. I also don't agree with allowing on managers 1-3 people at most to determine choosing what the majority of the population that comes here to eat. read more

Oh, my!!! Was outside, 5 hours before opening. Please read my story....... What I sent to my daughters Undercover Boss I drove to Orlando (90 min) for a first date with a pretty female from Facebook. She chose to meet at Carrabas (on Vineland Street), even though they weren't scheduled to open for 5 hours. I searched: Carrabas/Orlando/Vineland and landed on Vineland Avenue (not Vineland Street) by my own mistake (5 miles different). My Carrabas was opened, but no-show date. We found my mistake and I drove to the correct Carrabas, 5 miles away. We were getting to know each other outside of the closed Carrabas, when the manager comes outside and says to us (sitting on their bench). "We are 5 hours early for opening, but, you can come inside and order a full meal" We go inside and order. The manager comes over and says: "I think that you are Undercover Boss, because the county health inspector showed up at the same time as you" I then hold up an empty wine glass to the overhead lamp to look for spots .... he runs away and replaces the glasses. When he returns, I explain that we were just meeting at this location and not expecting an early opening, or any connection to Undercover Boss. They treated us like royalty, and everything was a pleasant experience. read more

My boyfriend and I were in search of food the night after the storm. We stopped at a few places with long wait times. Carrabba's had a 45 min wait. We decided to wait but it ended up to be about 30 mins. I had a peach sangria and he had an old fashioned. Both drinks were good. We shared some mussels with white wine sauce and a shrimp pasta. The pasta entree also came with soup. We choose the spicy sausage soup. Everything was good. Our server James was great. read more

I was very disappointed...in myself!! I haven't had Carrabbas in over a decade, and after this meal, I have NO CLUE as to why not! It was so very delicious. I am a pasta lover. The Fettuccine Carrabba is everything I want in a pasta: Alfredo sauce, mushrooms, peas, and the this moist grilled chicken that is seasoned to perfection. The entree came with a Caesar salad and a half loaf of bread. The Caesar dressing was one of a kind. So delicious. What I really loved about this to go order is how they provided the table side garlic and olive oil that accompanies the bread if I were dining in. I also, ordered a small spaghetti and meatball so I could taste that sauce as well. It was tasty too. I will be dining in next time. I called the restaurant to thank them for how great everything was and to thank the person who bagged my order for having everything I needed to enjoy it and for the sweet handwritten thank you on my receipt. New Carrabba's fan here! read more

The service, ambiance and food was good. Honestly, I hadn't been to Carrabba's in a while. It was nice to see the menu has changed to include more items.

I ordered this months ago when I was at a conference in the area. We ordered two pasta dishes and two salads. It was phenomenal.

Very friendly staff. COVID safety measures were in place and we felt very comfortable. Service was fabulous and attentive. I had the Linguine Pescatore and my wife had the Lasagna. Both were delicious. My only gripe is why a Chef would serve any shellfish fish that the shell didn't open while cooking. I had a couple of mussels that wasn't open. Overall a great meal. read more

We ordered Carrabba's To-Go, and from start to finish the experience was perfect. It was extremely easy to place the order, when I arrived the oder was being bagged and as soon as it was done, they brought it out to my car. There was no unnecessary waiting, no walking into the restaurant (this location has a To-Go door on the side with parking), and as always, extremely friendly and professional staff. This location is actually easier for us to get to, so we might just be making it our new go-to. Oh, and as always, the food tasted great! Even the leftovers the next day still tasted good. Keep up the great work! read more
