My family went for Mother’s Day and 3 people in our party have celiac. Gluten free items are marked on the menu. Server was knowledgeable if we had questions. All we said was we had a severe gluten allergy and to please make a note of it. We ordered Pollo Rosa Maria, Jonny rocca, and pork chop with mashed potatoes and broccoli. We also got a Caesar salad no croutons and house salad. No one got sick!! Will definitely be returning!

I’ve never had a problem with cross contamination at this location. Always mention that it is for a legitimate allergy.

Terrible experience despite gluten-free menu. Waitress joked about it as if it were no big deal. I was barely out the door when I realized that my meal had been cross contaminated. Manager offered me a free meal, but I requested that she retrain her staff. Will never go back.

I typically give the benefit of the doubt but three chances are too much. I've eaten at 3 carrabbas in three different states and each messed up our order. 1st time they forgot a gf entree and put croutons only wife's gf salad. You can't just share when they forget the one thing you can eat. 2nd time croutons on salad and put shrimp instead of chicken in our entree (shell fish allergy in addition to celiac). Each time the receipt stated gf and no shrimp, but was still wrong. Last night we tried again using the gift cards we got from the first two mistakes. I clearly stated we needed gf and that we were using gift cards from mistakes with previous orders. My wife's order of gf Alfredo had regular Alfredo noodles. We thought it looked different and luckily my wife didn't eat any before we called and checked. Again they apologized and offered to remove the charge. That's all well and good, but my issue is with carrabbas apparent indifference to food allergies. If you advertise a gf menu, you have to be willing to provide safe meals. Carrabbas obviously has a very poor training program for food allergies and a lack of accountability by their management. Eat at your own peril, but we've given up.

We go here almost weekly. They have really upped their game! Lots of gluten free options marked on the regular menu and they can sub gluten free pasta for most of the sauces. The chicken pollo rosa maria with mashed potatoes is my favorite! I tell the server I am Celiac and have gluten allergies and I have never gotten sick here. One word of caution is if you order a cappuccino, make sure you remind them no biscotti. Everything else was perfect every time! Go give it a try!
