No longer safe, sadly. The noodles have changed and I ended up very very sick; usually I have no problems after eating here.

Seemed knowledgeable, but... After letting my server know that I had Celiac and a dairy allergy, he acted as though he knew what to do. I had a very good GF pasta dish, but soon after I realized something was wrong. I'm sure it was cross contamination, but that doesn't help make me feel better. So for days. I'm swollen, have a migraine and the worst stomach pain you can imagine.

They do have there gluten free food clearly marked on menu. I was a little concerned cause I ordered a salad for an appetizer and said no croutons. It came with croutons. They exchanged it with no issues but that doesn't inspire alot of confidence. After eating my food I was okay. I would try this place again.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

I ordered one of their newer dishes with GF pasta. I also had the GF soup option which was really good and a sweet tea. When my pasta came out, it looked delicious. I mixed it up and took a couple bites and realized it didn't taste right. it was then my waiter came running back saying that they mixed up the pasta and that wasn't GF pasta. They did remake my meal with the GF pasta but that's not going to fix the fact that I ingested some of the regular pasta noodles. They didn't discount my meal or anything for their mix up. Don't think I'm going to risk going back even though they claim to take food allergies/sensitivities seriously. Edit: 05/02/16 I put in a complaint to the Carrabba's website and the owner promptly called me. He's going to figure out where the mix up occurred and find a way to prevent this from occuring again. He's also going to refund my meal back onto my debt card. He's also invited me back to speak directly with him or his assistant about the issue, how to prevent it, and provide a safe meal.

Celiac friendly?

No

Gluten free menu & understanding staff- food was delicious!

I came here 3 times, and was very pleased with the service, food, and gluten awareness. On my fourth visit I found a noodle on my plate after I had already eaten half of my food. The manager comped my meal, but as a celiac, it won't make up for the misery I expect tonight and the rest of the week. They claim to take food allergies "very seriously", but this experience leads me to believe otherwise. Again, great food, but maybe think twice if you are a true celiac or very sensitive.

dedicated gf menu and very knowledgeable staff

Celiac friendly?

I wanted GF pasta. It was pretty good, but the wait was extremely long.

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!

First time visiting Carrabba’s since going gluten free. GF items are marked on menu and there is a gluten free pasta substitute that you can ask the server about. Unfortunately I did not feel too safe with cross contamination. I asked the server how the GF pasta would be prepared and if anything is shared, and she said that it would be boiled in the same water used for the regular pasta but still assured that it is safe for me. I asked for it to be boiled in a separate pot, but I’m not sure if anything else was shared in preparation of the food.
