We come here about once every two months. We've always had a good experience. Good food and good service.

[[HIGHLIGHT]]I came in on Father's Day for a good meal and it was pretty crowded.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I came back the following Sunday to see if I would get the same great meal that I had the previous week. I used the join the wait list on the Yelp app and that saved a great deal of time. Father's Day visit Once I was seated, my server greeted me and told me about the new items for the summer. She gave me a few minutes and brought me some hot delicious bread. I ordered the fettuccine pasta weezie with shrimp and it was delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly, it had plenty of sauce and the noodles were just right. This made me want to come back for another treat. Past Sunday [[HIGHLIGHT]]Came in and it was almost empty. There were about 9 tables occupied and we were seated in the bar area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server came over and greeted us and asked for our drink order. We then ordered our food. This time I had the lentil and sausage soup instead of salad and that was a great choice. Our entrees on the other hand, were not like the previous week. We ordered the lobster ravioli and the shrimp and scallop linguine. The ravioli was ok and was just normal. The shrimp and scallop linguine needed a lot of help. The shrimp were over cooked, the pasta was stuck together and the dish lacked sauce! I had to ask for more sauce. It took over 10 minutes just to get sauce. It helped a little but after waiting, the thrill was gone! I didn't understand why with less people in the restaurant, service was worse than when it was full! I hope this gets fixed. read more

First time at this location but have been to Carrabba's many times other places. Never had any complaints before. But.... [[HIGHLIGHT]]This location was not too busy when we were there. It was actually still lunch, but you could order dinner as well[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. They change the specials all the time, I enjoyed going for Happy hour before. Not only is there drink specials but appetizers discounted we were too early for that. They had some smaller portion meals for lunch. I tried the sausage stuffed mushrooms in a sauce. I wasn't a big fan , you only get 4, they aren't too big and the filling gets a bit sickening after eating a couple. My Mom ordered Spaghetti & meatballs. Now I thought they are high on Spaghetti, it was the dinner price no lunch spaghetti, . Pasta is cheap but here they are very expensive!! $19.99 for Spaghetti with meatballs. When it came out it looked like they put a dab of sauce on top. My Mom asked for more since it was so dry. (At this point should have asked to see a Manager to show them and see if this was normal but we didn't) If this is the way they serve it they should put it on the menu lightly topped because for $19.99 it wasn't enough for what they charge they had to add over $3.00 more for some more! So after tax and all your talking $25.00 just for a bowl of spaghetti that was ridiculous!! Whoever manages the kitchen should be told unless they are cutting corners for higher profit and people will not go back, I don't like when a restaurant does this. I felt bad for my Mom, she didn't want to say anything but she was having a hard time eating it . She definitely will not want go back , she enjoys their competition Olive Garden they don't charge for extra sauce if needed. So Carabbas I'm sure you will lose more customers by doing this . Very disappointed! read more

The pollo Rosa Maria is superb. The calamari is excellent with the Ricardo sauce. I love red sauce but when I'm here I get 2 Ricardo sauces instead of one red & one Ricardo. The waitress was very nice and attentive. read more

We have been to this location twice now. We loved our Carrabba's in TX so going here feels like home. Our server was a young lady and she knew menu and was very helpful. Of course they always start with the Crack Bread (yes I ate some) I can't refuse it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is welcoming and the restaurant was clean & organized.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our food was delivered and I don't think we spoke much. We always look forward to eat at Carrabba's.

My wife and I decided to attend their Caymus Wine dinner. We are very happy that we did. We ended up sitting at a table of eight and had so much in common with everybody there. Besides great wine, there was great food and great companionship! Our meal opened with a marsala meatball that was paired with a Caymus "The Walking Fool" red blend. Delicious! For the second course, we had a salad with pistachio crusted goat cheese paired with a Mer Soleil Chardonnay. The third course was a Fontana and mushroom risotto with short rib. Huge portion! Had to take half of it home, paired with a Vintnor Cabernet Sauvignon. The main course was a Filet with Gorgonzola and shrimp paired with a Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon. The dessert was a chocolate hazelnut torte paired with conundrum red blend. All of the dishes and wines were excellent superbly presented and absolutely delicious! We ended up taking home some wine and are all of our leftovers! Absolutely terrific value and experience! Looking forward to our next visit. read more

It's okay overall, but every dish is extremely salty. The portions are huge, and the servers are very nice. However, the saltiness of the food makes those otherwise beautiful dishes almost inedible. read more

My go to meal is veal Marsala, with garlic mashed potatoes and a house salad with house dressing...all freshly made and always delicious!!

We've been going to this restaurant occasionally for many years and the food quality has really gone down hill. My wife and I went a couple of days ago on a spur-of-the moment. It was early so got right in. Food was very slow to come out. The excuse was "they are pushing out a catering order." What about the customers IN the restaurant??? Obviously not a priority. Salad greens, when we finally got them, we're wilted and soggy. My wife canceled her order because of frustration. When my order came out (shrimp and scallops a la vodka), it had a foul smell, like old sea food. Didn't eat it, actually couldn't stand it in front of me! Wife smelled it across the table Sorry Caraba's Pensacola, won't be back. Actually have eaten at Caraba's in other cities, they've gone down too. read more

Awful food.. was such a disappointment- cold pasta. And tasteless chicken. Steak was ok.. Soup too salty, but our waitress so very very nice. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice place , comfortable[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] But won't be back. read more

We hadn't dined at Carrabba's in years, after today's visit I'll be back very soon indeed. We found ourselves here after being denied accommodations for a stroller, or even just a car seat, by the bartender at Maria's restaurant called Olde East Hill Grill (or something like that) earlier this afternoon. Our host, whoever that sweet young guy was deserves recognition and I wish I knew his name. He went out of the way to make room for my babies stroller at a booth out of the way. Jackie, our server, promptly greeted us and turned what could have been a frustrating afternoon into an absolute delight. He was prompt, had perfect timing with every dish and was on top of refills. Our food was amazing too! For a chain, this place still slaps. Def worth visiting! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]We were having dinner at Carrabba's sat at a table booth towards he kitchen area and a family of four came in with a big poodle dog and the hostess set them right beside us. Totally unacceptable![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]I didn't realize Carrabba's allowed dogs to eat with people?[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Therefore, the next time we decided to enjoy a casual evening at Carrabba's and a dog family sits next to us, It'll be my last time dining at this Carrabba location. read more

Carabbas has stepped up their game. We had dinner there last night. I ordered a lemon drop martini and it was delicious. My friend ordered a glass of wine that was served with a mini charcuterrie. I had Lamb Chops (a seasonal special) and my friend had the Filet Mignon. The Lamb Chop came with a mint/au jus and was exceptional My friend's filet was tender and cooked perfectly. The entre comes with a choice of soup or salad, and two sides. The salads were cold and crisp. My asparagus and mashed potatoes were seasoned perfectly. Good service as well. read more

Service is absolutely phenomenal. We came on a Monday afternoon at about 1:30 pm Our servers name was Ryan and he didn't miss a beat. Super friendly with great meal recommendations. Brought extra of things that we didn't even ask for just in case we might have needed it. The food is so good! We couldn't be happier. read more

Excellent curbside experience. Friendly girl brought out order, everything was in the bag , hot and fresh!

I took two friends to Carrabba's for Happy Hour. It was an excellent choice as I had researched happy hours among local restaurants. They had a varied selection of cocktails and wines as well as a number of small bites. Two of us had refreshing cocktails. We shared four different bites, including calamari, and all were generous servings as well as very tasty. They even cut our appetizers into three equal portions which made our shares easy. We had two excellent servers, Amaree and Manuela. They were customer-friendly, professional and checked in on us without being overbearing. I notified the owner, Brian Ephron, who is a local, was on-site and was extremely receptive to my compliments. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance was lovely and I will bring others to try their regular menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a delightful experience and my new go to spot. What a great discovery! Jan O.

Super disappointed with the food and service. To start we got sat at 5pm and ordered soon after, but our food didn't come out till 6:15. We were about to leave but it came so we sat and ate. My sisters ordered the kids Mac and cheese and I order an Alfredo pasta couldn't even finish our food because it had a weird smell coming from it, so we got togo boxes. Even though the waitress was super nice we still left pretty disappointed. My other sister ordered a pasta dish and half of it was water??!! We were so confused and she barely touched it. read more

Excellent service, good food, and overall great experience! We had a large group and called ahead, upon arrival we were seated within a few minutes. The server was very attentive, made great recommendations & ensured our orders & checks were accurate. Food portions were very large and overall a good value, however I wish they had some smaller & diverse options! The chicken parmigiana was good with 2 large thin portions of meat. I had 2 pastas as my sides & skipped the soup/salad option & had plenty to take home! Restaurant was clean, very accommodating for a larger group, and staff were all friendly! read more

It's been a minute...but stopped in for dinner...had the Calamari and Mussels.....Calamari was hot and crusted perfect. Just a bit too much pepper. Mussels had too much fresh garlic....need to cook a min or two more...raw garlic is not always best. The Rigatoni and Chix Rosa Maria were perfect though. Chix grilled nicely and juicy. Sat at the bar for quicker service as we arrived at rush hour.....still a good experience. read more

Always a decent lunch or inexpensive dinner and happy hour prices are great! The wait staff was polite and friendly

Fast, excellent service by Emilie, and wonderful lamb chops, what else can anyone ask for.

Our experience at Carrabbas was absolutely fabulous! . Ryan was our server. He was friendly, kind, completely attentive and a great guy! My husband had a house salad, steak (done perfectly the first time), garlic mashed potatoes, broccoli and we shared our dessert. I, of course, had a wonderful time, from Caesar salad, to chicken piccata with angel hair pasta and tiramisu for dessert. Everything was so good, so well prepared, and so well presented, with Ryan being the perfect server. A+ in our book! read more

Manager Bryant King did an excellent job setting up catering for 30 people for Easter dinner at our facility. The food was excellent and the service was top notch. Will do it again soon! read more

Ahh I wasn't to impressed with this. We received a catering order and the the pasta was lacking flavor at least the chicken was juicy. The salad was okay. Not sure what was in the dressing or it is the oil for the bread but I had a allergic reaction to it and but sure if either had tree nuts in it or not. But I won't be trying any of this again . read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Grilled chicken pasta and salad - Italian Near Me - Pensacola, Florida

The service, waitress, can't speak, can't move , can't anticipate the need for water refill, lemons, paper napkins, bread, sweeteners, spoon... asked for lemons 3 times, water 3 times, sweeteners 2 times, bread twice... This girl can't get with it. Slow. Dirty hair, hair in her eyes. Just disgusting. Previous visit I asked for minced/chopped garlic- she said "we don't have that", I explained you do have it- eating it for 21 years- o ok. She brings it out and it's cooked garlic! What an idiot. They send it out again - it's not minced garlic it's quartered ! Unbelievable!! read more

Ordered 2 Spaghetti w/ meatball entrees to go yesterday. The only good item was the bread it came with. Noodles were mushy and overcooked, sauce was very watery, and the meatballs had poor quality meat, similar to a fast food burger. It was edible, but barely. Granted it was a $14 plate of spaghetti, so maybe we should have expected this. Carrabba's should charge a few more dollars and improve their ingredients and process. read more

Another Friday, another instructor lunch!! This was the spot we choose this week and I have to say that I wasn't impressed. The food was ok but the service was terrible. It took 10mins after being seated to get water. we all had salads to start and the salads literally sat on the counter ready to be served for another 10 mins until we flagged down the waiter and ask him to bring the salads to the table. My food was lukewarm. We had to flag the waiter down for drink refills multiple times. Not a good dinning experience. And now the instructor that choose this spot is suspended on restaurant picking for a month!!! So definitely a first and last time I'll eat there. read more
