We had a group of 10 celebrating a birthday and originally tried another restaurant, but they had a two-hour wait. We called Carrabba's and were able to get on the list with about a 30-minute wait -- which was such a relief! When we arrived, the hostess was awesome and so welcoming. At first, we couldn't all sit together because there weren't enough chairs available, (they were having multiple large parties)but as soon as space opened up, they quickly rearranged things and got our entire group seated together. That meant a lot for a birthday celebration. The waitstaff was incredibly kind, accommodating, and attentive all night. They handled our large group with patience and genuine care. The food was delicious, and everything came out quickly and fresh. We ended up having a great night and were so glad we chose Carrabba's. We'll definitely be back for future celebrations! read more

Another wonderful experience. I went for a solo lunch and Ryan waited on me. OMG....his customer service is perfection! He could be a trainer. They are very lucky to have him. This time I did the mushrooms and they were delicious and the sauce.....mmmmmm......so good. I absolutely love the lunch deals and they are a deal. So much food for $11.99. You even get complimentary bread. I ordered the Creamy Parm Salad and the Chicken Soup and the Mushrooms. Everything was perfection. Huge portions, fresh, fast, delicious. It's a good thing I don't work near by or I would go a lot! Highly recommend and ask for Ryan. He is helpful, funny, attentive, informative, efficient and friendly. read more

Before I begin let me start off by saying that this review is based solely upon my personal experiences and my personal experiences alone, so with that being said let's start!. My wife and I were out running some errands in Virginia Beach so when we left the Lynnhaven Mall we decided to stop and grab something to eat. It was a Saturday afternoon around 3:00 so the restaurant was quite empty other than a few other people so we got a booth with no wait time and a waitress that was on her game!. She was very attentive throughout our visit. I would definitely return to this location and recommend you stop by if you're in this area!. read more

Terrible. They have two sides mashed potatoes and broccoli and after ordering they come back 35 minutes later with chicken dinner and no potatoes saying it will be another hour. Unacceptable read more

My Husband and I had date night, he seen the Dinner & Dolce deal for $45 soup or salad, per person , entree per person, & 1 dessert to share which was perfect for us! My husband stated the bread and oil is his favorite he a the whole loaf! Our waitress was very friendly and attentive. My husband ordered (ITALIAN SALAD & LASAGNA) my husband stated, the salad was fresh w/ great amount of dressing! The lasagna was just okay but hot & fresh! My order (HOUSE CREAMY PARMESAN SALAD& TUSCAN-GRILLED CHICKEN) which I loved every thing salad was fresh and grilled chicken was welled seasoned. We shared the dessert (SOGNO DI CIOCCOLATA "CHOCOLATE DREAM") which was too rich for me but very tasty and my husband enjoyed it! We definitely will be back soon! read more

I had a curbside order and I knew I was getting there about 15 minutes early, but I was already in the area. A young man immediately came out and I said no no that's fine. I know I was early and before I knew it he came out with my food. It was so nice of him. My meatballs were a little cold, but that's not a problem because I was bringing them home to heat them up anyway. The customer service far out weighed having meatballs that were a little chilly. read more

Food was amazing! We ordered the chicken carbonara and the Italian trio. Both were very large servings. Bread wan herb oil was very good too. Charles provided us with impeccable service! He was extremely helpful and friendly. I forgot my to go drink and he even brought it out to the parking lot! We'll definitely be back! read more

We visited Carrabba's to get some grilled salmon. Ryan waited on us. He is the BEST! His customer service was outstanding because he made sure our food was good and his personality is fun. The grilled salmon was delicious, and the seasoning for the bread was amazing. Customer service is important to me and I would highly recommend Ryan as your server. I also loved his hair! read more

I honestly have not had a bad meal here. Their bread dip is fabulous with just a tinge of salt. I had some Italian chicken soup that was spicy and fabulous! The carbonara is wonderful as well. I had a really great server. She was very attentive and friendly. Ambulance is cute and comfortable. read more

@carrabbas Family's Choice! Their House Salad was I could've eaten that as an Entree, no lie! & I also got the Rigatoni Martino which came with Sauteed Mushrooms, Sun- Dried Tomatoes, Parmesan & Romano Cheese, with Gluten Free Rigatoni Pasta tossed with a tomato cream sauce with scallions and ricotta salata! I also added Sauteed Spinach & Broccoli as well. Why not! ‍ #FamilyNight #Dinner #VegetarianOptions #VaBeach #EatYourGreens read more

When you enter, you are immediately greeted with the smell of dirty mop water. The hosts couldn't figure out how to seat 6 people. The booths are small. The servers and kitchen are off sync. Orders would go back and food would hit the table in a strange order. Out of 10 dishes, 3 were mediocre and 2 were good. Requested medium temp for the steak and it came out on a cold plate, well-done and almost impossible to chew. The kids meal came out dead last and by then we just packed up our food to leave. Do not go to the restroom unless you enjoy an overpowering odor of old, stale urine cakes. This is the most disappointing $200 we've spent. read more

Food is always so delicious!! We have tried several dishes in the last several months. Everyone has been a true mouth-watering treat!!

First time here but had a gift cert for bone fish and that menu isn't my fav. Service here was awesome and prompt. Lots of extra help when food was ready so everything was hot. Sat in the bar area and it's very welcoming and big. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit. It isn't just pasta it's great food. We both had a chicken dish great food with fresh veggies and the Italian salad was great. We'll come back again read more

Came in with my family during the busy holiday season, but was pleasantly surprised that we were seated almost immediately! Ordered the stuffed mushrooms & calamari as an appetizer and the flavors were incredible! Shout out to the back of house team for keeping flavors stellar despite how busy it was! Got the chicken Marsala as my main with pasta on the side, and it did not disappoint! Service was beyond amazing and the team were all super hospitable! Special shout out to our server Leslie for offering expert insight into the menu, and for making our evening just that little bit more special! read more

Should the bread be hotter than the soup? The first bowl was literally room temp. I sent it back and it came out warmer but not hot. Maybe the soup isn't supposed to be hot? I don't know but I wasn't sending it back again. Service was okay. I was really looking forward to this soup. And I was the only customer here. But it was 3pm. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Chicken soup - Italian Near Me - Virginia Beach, Virginia

Ordered thru Grubhub . The food was lukewarm warm at best . Ordered Johnny Trio . Very little sauce on the ravioli and Marsala sauce on the steak was almost nonexistent. Also ordered the chicken piccata and was very dry with once again hardly any of the lemon sauce . Would have returned the food but we had not eaten . Never had an issue with dining in but will not be ordering anything for delivery again . read more

Walked into the whole place smelt weird kind of stinky. Host looked at me strangely and when I asked for a booth instead of a table they made it a problem. There was plenty of booths available. Host seemed lost possibly high read more

We really enjoy going to this location for both lunch and dinner. We have gone as just a couple and in large groups - it makes no difference in the quality of the food and service. The portions are generous, and they are so accommodating with special requests! Our favorite waiter/bartender is Ryan. He is so attentive, pleasant and professional in the most friendly way! As a server, his timing is excellent, no matter how many tables/guests he is serving. Compliments to the rest of the serving and bar staff, as well. However, we do miss Ryan when we he is not working. read more

I really like their Parmesan, both the eggplant and the chicken. ordered both and were delicious- I really like how they're breaded - and the eggplant is not too thick like I have had at other restaurants, is cut thin and breaded. The servicers wonderful I really enjoyed our server. She was new and she went out of her way to make sure we enjoyed our meal. And the ceasar salad was great - everything was fresh. read more

The service there was so awesome. The waiters were very professional and polite. This one waiter by the name Ryan he works at the one by Lynnhaven Mall. His service I would recommend. I loved how he waited on me and my date. He smiled the entire time and he had a pleasant attitude. Ryan deserves a raise. read more

I think the 3 1/2 overall is probably pretty accurate. I ended up stopping in here a couple times recently because all the COVID restrictions made it so that Cooper's Hawk across the street was packed and had no seating for my group. Walked right in here with no reservation and was taken care of. Apparently they make everything in house for real, not like an Olive Garden. On my first visit I had a rigatoni dish with sausage that was quite tasty. It came with a side salad that was fresh and delicious. The second visit I tried the chicken ravioli, and that was okay, but sort of average. On my first visit, I had great service, on the second, it wasn't as good. So overall, it's average. I went with the four stars since I was able to get in easily each time and the food was pretty tasty. I'll definitely stop here again if I have a hankering for Italian and in the area. read more

Charles was our server, and he was fantastic. Service was great, food was delicious! We will be back!!!

Delicious meal! All food was fast and delicious. Service was fast and friendly. Unfortunately the store was close to empty as usual and I'm hoping that's not a bad sign because this is definitely a great place to come for a delicious meal. It's very relaxing with great lighting and atmosphere. Definitely one of our favorite places for some delicious Italian. read more

Today we had a group of 7 Ladies & 1 child. Friday 7/18/25. There was NO A/C. They should have told us they had no air. Give us a choice. We even had a reservation. Give us a fan. 1/2 of us were over 75. I got so heat exhausted I couldn't eat my food & I had to leave. The other ladies & the child were dripping in sweat. Very bad business not to tell us they had no air conditioning. Shame on you. read more

If you care about integrity and character in the businesses you support, you may want to look into who you're giving your money to. While the food may be fine, the behavior and values of the owner are a different story. I personally choose not to support people who disrespect families and relationships. Those who cheat on their husbands and ruin other relationships. If that matters to you, think twice before dining here. read more

Can't review the food because well left due to the extremely poor customer service at the bar. Used to be a go to but never again One star only because I have to. read more

Food is always amazing and service in on point. The staff is friendly and helpful. I love the specials at lunch. The Berry Sangria is wonderful. read more

Stopped by for a weeknight family dinner, upon entering the restaurant I noticed everything looked super clean! Our server did an amazing job, kept out drinks full and brought bread twice. I ordered shrimp and scallops linguine a la vodka and it did not dissapoint. Shrimp and scallops were very flavorful. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My husband had the linguine positano with shrimp. One kid ordered penne mac n cheese and the other one grilled chicken breast with fries. Everything was cooked to perfection. Definitely we will be returning. read more

From the moment we were seated, our waitress, Leslie treated us great! She was very friendly, and attentive, but not overly so. The food was amazing, and even in the midst of a tornado, service was fantastic. We will definitely return! read more

Fei-Lin was an amazing server. We came in for happy hour and it was a lovely time for us ladies.

The Veal Marsala with mushrooms and spinach was wonderful and tasty. My Granddaughter ordered the Fettuccine Carrabba and Wow, it did not disappoint. I Ordered the Rigatoni Campagnolo to take home to my son and he was very pleased. We still have leftovers for tomorrow. Our waiter, Marcellus was fabulous. He was personable and professional. He was spot on with our needs. Even took our picture when our meals came to our table. We loved the music. Very pleasant and relaxing atmosphere for dining in. Thank you for this wonderful experience. read more

First, thank you Regina for taking care of us and helping us celebrate our granddaughter's birthday. We stopped by for a late lunch. Order: Calamari appetizer, which was very tasty. Kid chicken fingers Chicken Carbonara Pasta Pork chop w/ spinach Lasagne A very nice lunch stop. Worth the stop read more

Came in on memorial day for the first time and each of the servers were amazing! Great service, and awesome management. The food was top tier for a low price! read more

Undercooked chicken. It's really all you need to know. I had the Chicken Parmigiana and one of the pieces was undercooked, light pink in the middle and very hard. I reported it and the "manager" (not sure) was very unapologetic and acted like it was a common occurrence. They offered to recook but I had kind of lost my appetite. The service was slow the whole time, which was weird because there were tons of servers and the restaurant was MAYBE half full. We had to wait up front and literally stare at a bunch of empty tables and booths. Soup was good. Appetizers were good. But this experience would probably have us avoid this location moving forward. What a shame. read more

This appetizer(s) was really good, but I must say that the 4 cheese & sausage stuffed mushrooms were pricey for 4 tiny mushrooms. They tasted so good though! It's a relatively new item on their menu. The meatball and ricotta isn't as pictured on their menu. The meatballs are tasty, but the ricotta and sauce were like a soup when I received it! read more

Went on an off night, Tuesday. Two tables had patrons. Party of 18 due later. Management couldn't seat us? Not in the bar or the restaurant proper? Tried to sit in a booth with my handicapped mother, didn't work. We left. Management here super sucks. However, 3 stars because the food is always, always good. Perfect steak, marsala, soup, etc. We won't be back. Will travel to my sisters carabbas in great bridge. She tells me they rock!! Dont come to Lynnhaven....boo...hiss...​ read more

We visited recently it wasn't our first time though Food was excellent , great service a little bit of wait but worth it . Will definitely keep coming in the future ! The stuffed mushrooms are amazing read more

We love Carrabba's! My husband and I have been coming to this location the last few months and every time we've been so blessed to have Trinitee as our server. She is absolutely incredible and always has the same 5 star service as the time before and even better food recommendations. We ordered the mozzarella marinara as the appetizer along with Carrabba's famous bread and olive oil, balsamic and herb dip with the house raspberry lemonade and all of it was so delicious. The mozzarella sticks were gooey and the cheese pull was great! For mains we got the mezzanine and the fettuccine weenie and they both were so good and fresh. Their house soup is super amazing, it doesn't need any extra seasoning which is rare. Their location is always clean, will be back again read more

My mother and I went to Carrabba's for lunch recently and I never thought I would say this but I'm never going back. The lunch menu has changed to sandwiches and when my mom ordered a sandwich that was supposed to be cold as per the menu, it came out hot. I told the waitress and she said that the bread had to be heated in order for it to be cooked all the way. My mom ended up eating nothing. I got a Chicken Bryan which had always been a favorite. It tasted like it was heated up in a microwave. It was half the size of what it used to be. I don't like to give bad reviews but this was definitely not the Carrabbas it used to be. read more

We always visit Carrabbas on vacation. Did not disappoint ! Bread and oilSalad, love the dressings! Pasta dishes were delicious and for a first tried the Tuscan chicken. It was done just right! Wish we had one close to home . read more
