Came for their lunch special. It was a magical experience. I got the house red and enjoyed my lunch outdoors. The service was amazing. Lunch was quiet but honestly their deal is worth coming in during lunch hours. I can see myself with my girlfriends laughing over lunch in the future. The servers were great. Love this place read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Lunch Special - Italian Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Went for Sunday after church We had 2 different waiters one would refill our drinks and bread and the other took the ordered and checked on the food Service was decent enough she made sure there was drinks and bread , when the food came out she only came once to check which was okay as food came exactly how we ordered it. We had the shrimp and take pasta with stake well done We also had the shrimp Caesar salad I like this restaurant because it was clean and had so many different options of food. It's like you couldn't go wrong. read more

We have not been to a Carrabba's in many years but had a gift card that we wanted to use. Kayla, our server was lovely. The ambience could use a big overhaul. I'd be embarrassed if I were the manager of this restaurant. The booth seating all looked like this photo and we were seated at one. I took a sip of a drink and happened to look up at the ceiling and there were three vents above us that were absolutely filthy. Had I seen him before we ate i would've probably lost my appetite. Also visited the ladies restroom and it was dated and unclean. And we had just arrived at 11 AM when it opened. Will not be returning. read more

Terrible! All the food tasted like mush with no flavor! I would never order food from this Carrabba's again!

It's been a while since I ate at Carrabba's and it's worth noticing their new flooring and interior ambiance. They also have the happy hour offering with a good menu starting at $5 from 4-6 pm. I ordered their Spinach Arancini ($5), the Calamari ($9), and the Lasagne Dip ($7). All were excellently prepared! Hands down, Carrabba's has the best calamari!!! Service was excellent as well! read more

This place is nice, the waiters are nice with the ambiance of other Carranza's restaurants. The food, well not so sold. It seemed like the cook liked to over pepper the food and we had to return several plates including chicken noodle soup.. The chicken parm was very skimpy and the sauce and cheese were very little in quantity. The bread was good. Not my first choice. read more

Service was good, We went for happy hour drink prices are better then food prices. Food prices are ok, but VERY SMALL PORTIONS. We got the zucchini sticks (soggy) calamari good but very tiny portion. Meatball sliders were my favorite, but again for three slices of meatball $9 . Thought that was a little high... We would go back read more

Not as good as it used to be, imagine a restaurant today not really offering much on non-alcoholic beer they offer a single brand of a non-alcoholic beer which has the least good reviews it's okay though I can go elsewhere where I can have at least something that I am able to drink that tastegood. When I asked management why they don't sell a highly rated or good NA beer and they simply said that corporate doesn't feel that non-alcoholic beers sell, however non-alcoholic beer is one of the fastest growing categories in the entire beer industry I guess their corporate doesn't keep up to date. As far as the food the food is good however the portions and quality to me don't seem as good as they used to be. read more

I came here for a friend's birthday celebration. We were a party of 13 but it was a Saturday at 3pm. The restaurant was not busy at all. They seemed to have plenty of staff and yet it took literally ONE HOUR for them to come and take our order. We got our drinks right away but they forgot about us from there and we watched as the few others that were in the restaurant got their food and we still haven't even given our orders yet. Finally we complained and someone came to take the orders. We just did not feel that the service was kind or welcoming and it was really unfortunate because I personally enjoy Carrabba's but this experience was not very good at all. It was overall disappointing. The food finally came out and it tasted good but the bad experience just sort of ruined it already. This location is just not one I would visit again. read more

Had a delivery no problem with that service was excellent Order was for lemon garlic pasta. What I got was garlic pasta not even a hint of lemon. I have had this before and it was delicious this was not. Gave me a stomach ache So disappointed in this order from Carrabas read more

The service was ok but the food definitely not but the manager did take it off the bill and gave USA dessert to share. They had no steak sauce for the steak and it also wasn't cooked right, as well as alot of the meal taste like I could make it better at home. The ambience was nice read more

Food, service & quite big nice place - all was very good. Enjoyed dinner. Very disappointing they add tax with their tip suggestions. Who does the extra money go to, the restaurant or the waiter? Business should not do this to the customers being makes it look like you didn't give and have you feel you gave the full 20% tip. read more

New 3-course menu at $15 or $20. Soup or salad, entree and dessert. Service was mediocre. Our entrees came out before we even got our salad. The manger did comp one of our meals. We took the salad home. The food (chicken parmesan) was tasty but slightly dry. The John Cole dessert was just the right amount to end the meal on a positive note. read more

Great happy hour! Delicious drinks, food and friendly attentive staff. Check it out ! i like the sangria

Alex has to be one of the best servers around. On the ball the entire time with our orders, very attentive, and genuinely did everything perfect. 10/10 experience. read more

Josh our server earned a star. This is a hard one. Some things, very good. Others? Sorta good. The place is clean, bright and welcoming, as said Josh was super friendly and accommodating, it's a nice spot convenient to my home. Food had some really nice elements (salad, the bread) but my wife had two pieces of pink chicken in her dish (ew) and my parm was very average. I'm still trying to understand a $23 drink during Happy Hour. We'll go back, just not running. read more

Good service. Good food. Nice and clean and a very enjoyable dinner. First course: the shrimp scampi with garlic toast. Our appetizer had 10 16-20 size shrimp and 8 garlic toasts with a large ramekin of melted garlic butter. Very nice start. Our main course: we enjoyed the Chicken 3-way with caesar salad & garlic smashed potatoes + bone-in grilled Pork Chop + house salad. Well prepared and very filling. We took at least half our orders home as leftovers along with a courtesy loaf of bread. Final course: limoncello bread pudding was the star of the night. Delightful. Our bill without alcohol was under $100. Both of us agreed dinner was great. We're planning a dessert-only visit for more of the delicious bread pudding. read more

I've been at that location 5-6 times and it's about the same each time. Food is ok. Over rated! Service is pretty good most of the time. Not a place i recommend to others. read more

I went to Carrabba's tonight for a Pollo Rosa Maria chicken dinner. I'm not kidding as we measured, the two chicken breasts were 3 1/2 inches long. I have never seen such small chicken in my life at $26 a plate. I will never return there again. biggest joke I have ever seen at a restaurant in my life. Left hungry. Avoid at all costs! Also posted on a local board, seems like I'm not the only one this happened too as portions have shrunk to ridiculous sizes. read more

I love this restaurant so much! The food and service is always top tier! My favorite is the mezzaluna pasta. The ambiance is always very satisfying. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Caesar Salad - Italian Near Me - Sanford, Florida

Nice comfortable place. Nice staff. Food ehhh Bread was good Lentil soup with sausage was the right recipe except the salt took over. Otherwise this should've been one of the better soups I've ever had, including homemade. Stuffed mushroom recipe was good. The sauce wasn't so good. Fried calamari should've been golden brown, it was not; but I'm glad that they served all parts of it, including the tentacles. The concept of this place is Italian, but it's really not Italian cooking. It's a play on Italian ingredients and names. It was my first time and perhaps my last. If they lose the salt and move to a traditional Italian simple style of cooking. They would do so much better in my opinion. read more

I ordered the shrimp and crabmeat topped salmon. Not a single shrimp on my plate. I was told it is a blend of breading, crab and shrimp. What is a blend. For $29 I expect shrimp on my plate. Carrabbas was never great but it has gotten ridiculous. My wife's chicken Bryan was two very small medallions of chicken breast for $25. It used to be a nice chicken breast. Haven't been in years and definitely will not be coming back. Too many good real Italian restaurants around to waste my money on food of this caliber. Our server was fantastic and very friendly and attentive. She belongs at a better restaurant. read more

My huband and I just went here for dinner on Wednesday for dinner. Josh our waiter was excellent. He was so professional, attentive, friendly and could not have been better. My scallops were great and my husband's winter special was very good. We will definitely be back soon!!!!! read more

The food is good. No complaints. Not how it was back in the day where I'm from. Deserts are the best part....not while I'm eating the store. Recently we were in there and I felt bad for one of the employees the way this manager was talking to her. If he's willing to talk like that to employees in earshot of customers I wonder how he talks when customers can't hear. I knew he was a manager because I asked our waitress who the Asian guy was and she said a manager. read more

First time at Carrabba's after passing it so many times in the neighborhood. We made reservations online, but when we got to the restaurant - they told us they were only seating one side of the restaurant until a certain hour. Told them I made rsvps at 5pm but that didn't matter. We had to wait for a table to free up and didn't sit down until 5:15pm. Our server was really nice, though. She grabbed us our waters with lemon immediately. We ordered the trio and spaghetti. The bread was served, and the food came out 30-35 mins later. The bread was hot and came with spices you mix with the olive oil. The pasta was okay, nothing too special. Spent $60 for two pastas. read more

awesome experience and food. Andrew was amazing! will definitely do again when offered

Love everything about this restaurant! Food, Service! The atmosphere is top notch! We have gone there for birthdays, anniversary's and holidays. read more

An absolutely perfect meal. I must admit I was surprised to have such a delight for lunch. Everything was cooked beyond perfectly so much so that I was moved to tell the kitchen staff how great it was and you cannot beat the take-home meal deal good portion of any meal that's of lesser value than what you bought or same value I guess it was absolutely a great day for my son's birthday and a great meal to celebrate. read more

Good experience... We sat outside in a nice area. Wasn't too hot outside...the hostess along with our server were good especially being if we had to send a couple items back. Our food was good read more

$150 for nasty food and poor service. Still recovering from stomach ache ( entire family)

Food took a very long time I'd say about an hour definitely needs to improve the service

I love this place! I had an issue with a delivery order from DoorDash so I called and spoke with the manager. He was very understanding and assured that the next time I came in he would rectify it. Went in for dinner tonight and they most certainly did! Mezzaluna was AMAZING along with stellar service from Emma! One of my favorite restaurants! read more
