Just had a wonderful meal at a Carrabba's for the first time since visiting my son in Chicago, in 2023, and more than anything, our Server, "India," was absolutely amazing. Her kind temperament and enthusiasm made her a wonderful addition to our dining experience. Back in the last week of May, we suffered a leak in our kitchen that went undetected for months, with water filtering through the underlayment and subfloor, never showing within the kitchen, itself. We have been without a useable kitchen since then and have been eating dinners out, 4-5 nights a week, since then, while repairs have been slowly taking place. In all those nights, we have had few waitstaff to have been as kind. Carrabba's, you have a keeper! India... We will return for another meal, soon. Thank-you. Thank-you. Thank-you. read more

I thought it was alright at first, then the second time I stopped by, it was rather shoddy to say the least. The food is only mediocre, and the ambiance depends on how annoying the other patrons are. There is a clear view of the kitchen, which can either be a good thing or a VERY bad thing. The cook gets mad if you only order drinks. read more

Frequent here often, and I love the monthly pairing dinners. The owner proprietor Constantine is top-notch when it comes to hospitality and service. Every experience here has been nothing short of stellar. read more

New happy hour menu drops next week! Solid family hang out spot or just a place to grab a quick appetizer and drink. The $8 happy hour shrimp... omg. Best thing on the menu probably. Good food as usual. Bar service was okay, they seemed to be getting pretty busy since it was a Friday night. This place also has wine dinners! I think they're every month. These are so fun. read more

So we had just gone to Olive Garden the week prior and driving by Carrabba's, we decided to check it out. It is a different vibe and experience than the OG but we will definitely be back. It has more of a Italian restaurant experience than Olive Garden but I think OG's overall formula as a restaurant is better. When we came in the greeter had a seated, and then the waitress came by pretty quickly to get a drink orders and put in food. When you sit down and once you order, they will bring out some sourdough bread and the table has olive oil with spices. I was a fan of the bread and I thought it was pretty good. Again, this is a different vibe than the OG breadsticks - probably a little healthier. We got the Lunch trio with the four cheese and sausage stuffed mushrooms within an Italian salad. I always get the dressing on the side because a lot of places go pretty heavy with the dressing and this place is like that as well. I recommend ordering dressing on the side. We also got the Shrimp and Scallop alla Vodka with rigatoni pasta instead of linguine with a Caesar salad salad. All the food was pretty good but it was a little bit unusual because they did not offer to put cheese on all of our salads and dishes (again, comparing it to Olive Garden). I actually preferred that because I think the added cheese makes the food, a little saltier and less healthy, but that's just my preference. While we were there, there was some kind of incident where the fire department had to come into the building and everyone got evacuated, so the restaurant comped us all the food (read: gave us our meal for free), which was very generous and really good customer service. Even without our food, being comped, we will definitely be back to try more of the menu. I really enjoyed this other chain's take on Italian casual dining. read more

I have been meaning to come by for lunch and finally made it! I ordered the steak marsala sandwich with penne pomodoro for pick up. The food was ready as soon as i arrived and the carside employee handed me my bag with a smile and told me have a great day. Little things like that matter sometimes. On to the food, it was fresh, tasty, and portion size was just right (well for normal person, for me it's two meals). I couldn't have asked for anything to make my meal better. Unfortunately, i ate it all before i could take a picture lol. Next time, i'm getting the chicken parm sandwich! read more

Sat right away on a Friday evening. My daughter was craving Italian so we decided to come back. Really enjoy the olive oil and bread. This time as an appetizer we got the caprese salad with cherry tomatoes and was so perfect! Place was pretty clean and service was just fine. read more

This was VERY UNDERWHELMING. Probably my most underwhelming eating so far this hear. It IS Carrabba's so the expectations wasn't high. But the execution of this dish was wrong. You can tell that the dish itself and the recipe of the dish isn't bad. However it was the person cooking it. First off it the vodka wasn't cooked and reduced. If you KNOW, you can taste that they didn't reduce it, and toss the pasta in with it. Whoever cooked this definitely didn't do this. The linguine had NO flavor once so ever. This was definitely terrible. However it was edible and the service wasn't the worst. So I'll give it 2 stars instead of 1. read more

Visited on 5/13/26. Our server was Brandon T. who did an outstanding job. The food was to perfection! The reason for a 4 star instead of a 5 star review was because there was no toilet paper in the Handicapped Ladies Bathroom. read more

Food and service was great. Accommodated a table for eight people with no problem. 73d birthday be celebration.

Came in Wednesday around 2pm. Jamila our server was excellent. Everyone worked together in the restaurant to make it a pleasant experience. Whoever is managing this establishment keep up the good work. I definitely see an improvement in the food and service. Everything we had was good. Our table of 4 had the pasta weesie, chicken Marsala, chicken Carrabbas and chicken Bryan. I will definitely return again when I'm in town read more

On November 16th 2025, Time was 1235-1306, Me and my wife live coming here for the food, however the service is not there. We sat for 30 minutes patiently and were never served. No water no bread nothing. This has left a sour taste and as much as we come we will not be coming back. Fix your service read more

The food is always reliably good, and sometimes even great. The staff is pleasant, and we have never been disappointed by our servers. I recommend checking out the Events page on their website or mobile app. The have monthly wine pairing dinners (or other seasonal beverages besides wine a few times each year). These dinners run about $60-$80 per person, but they are full, 4 or 5 course meals with the beverages included, unless one orders something different than what is featured with that meal. We have been to four of these dinners, and they're always very nice. The N. Battlefield Blvd location in Chesapeake always staffs these events well, so kudos to the location management for making these events very nice. read more

My Aunt and I did the sangria dinner 10/10 would recommend! The food was absolutely delicious paired perfectly with the sangria! The service was outstanding and very accommodating!

A group of 8 dined here on 7/02/2025 in the evening. Brandon was our server. He did an amazing job. His personality, his knowledge, attention to detail were all spot on. He made sure we had drink refills, bread, and cheese. The food came out quickly and as ordered. I had spaghetti with meal sauce. It was some of the tastiest spaghetti I have eaten out. My only suggestion is to cut down on portions and lower the prices some. The hostess going in and leaving was friendly and welcoming. read more

I did curbside pickup at Carrabbas. We had chicken Marsala and the spaghetti with meat sauce. I have never had a bad meal here. The food is always tasty and filling. I could eat their sourdough bread with olive oil as a meal too. The food is really good and the prices are reasonable for the portions you receive. There is always enough left for lunch the following day. read more

This carrabas is less than a mile from my house it is quickly becoming a staple for me... food is Always good and quick, I've dined in alone, with a small group, and take out. The wait staff are always awesome, it's nice and always clean and the vibe is nice. The happy hour is top tier! Honestly it's the food for me... I tried 2 new items the other day the Bourbon Pork Chop ... yoooo it's 2 days worth of sassy goodness and the new meatball ravioli wow.. for me always a 10 out of 10. Ok wait twice they forgot something in my delivery order... it wasn't the Food...one time it was my Panni water and the other my soup...but they refunded me when I called. Over all I love this place! read more

You could start by improving the service then immediately go to the food!!! Extremely disappointed and will not be repeating this experience if I live to be 100, they should be ashamed to actually call themselves and Italian restaurant. If you hate Italian food come here, you will fit right in! Such a disappointment I'm actually embarrassed for them???? Go figure, I had to remind my waitress 2 times that I ordered wine and soup? Why? The soup was the sorriest excuse for minestrone, it was cut up cabbage with dish water! The trio chicken was not inedible but it did not come with what I asked for...I got a bunch of spinach? In what world does spinach equal fettuccine Alfredo? I don't know? Then they bring me a child size side dish of fettuccine like that would be acceptable? OMG so sad I can't even finish! Before I forget to mention the appetizer yes there version of calamari was an over peppered lightly fried version of what was shown on the menu. Dear god please help this restaurant or they are bound to go out of business. read more

I have loved Carrabba's for many years. But they keep changing the menu, and it's pretty disappointing. Everything is delicious for sure. I am certain the entrees like Picatta, Salmon, etc., used to either come with spaghetti, or it was available as a side. Now, the only side pasta option is Rigatoni. Who wants Rigatoni with a fish or other meat? And why is Spaghetti not a side option in an Italian restaurant?? Makes no sense, in my humble opinion. I got the Asparagus w/Veal Piccata entree, which came on a separate plate and 3 minutes after the veal. It was just disjointed. The $10 take home is a GREAT idea! With a dine-in entree, you can order a takeout entree of equal or lesser price to go for $10! Took advantage of that, yessiree. read more

I know it's a chain... I know.. BUT IT WAS GREAT! The food was great! Everything! Comfortable atmosphere. What made the experience even better was an exceptional waitstaff! Our waiter, Brandon, was worth the trip by himself. Personable, attentive. As someone who spent their life in Boston, I can tell you that a good waiter can make or break an experience. He made it! Yes... we're going back! read more

Came for dinner with a group of friends. We had a party of eight which they were able to accommodate. One of my friends asked for fresh cheese and balsamic vinegar to go with the olive oil and bread and our waitress brought it out with no issue. . When I asked about the sparkling water they served the waitress stated they were able to add syrup to it. I added peach syrup which was very good!! I got the polo Maria and the chicken was great!! The Alfredo looked a little stale and could've used more sauce. Some of my other friends got the salmon which they really liked. I tried the asparagus and spinach sides also which were good. I haven't been to a carrabbas in years! Definitely won't wait that long to come back!! read more

My sister and I had lunch at Carrabba's in Chesapeake, VA yesterday. It was a very nice experience from start to finish. I arrived before my sister.

Service was prompt and the food was very good. I had the Johnny Rocco salad, which was fresh and tasty. Tonya took great care of us, and we appreciated the outstanding customer service. We'll be back! read more

We ordered takeout and the pasta was overcooked and greasy on the fettuccine. My sister's chicken pasta with sauce was not much better.

The food came out quickly, it was all hot and fresh. We particularly enjoyed the chicken parm, the fettuccine Alfredo, and the rosemary fries. My vegan daughter in law specifically enjoyed the minestrone soup and Positano pasta. Our server, Tessa, was courteous, attentive and very kind. She brought us many refills and extra bread without us even asking. The restaurant was quick moving and had many people come by and help assist us. Great service and great food! read more

I felt skeptical about the dinner when we arrived and I saw we were going to be sitting elbow to elbow however it worked out! Had wonderful conversation with the people we were seated by. This was the first sangria dinner and my first time eating at Carrabba's in person -had it once to go. The restaurant was clean and dimly lit. Our host/manager Constantine and staff did an excellent job. Everyone was very accommodating and attentive. Although the dinner kept moving I didn't feel rushed. The wood fired seafood is so flavorful and tender. The sangrias were all delish except the classic red - the cinnamon was overkill. My favorite was the chicken Bordeaux. I love goat cheese and the asparagus was extremely fresh and cooked perfectly. They also offered discounts to go dinners. I had the shrimp and scallop linguine - YUM! Large portion and reheated well. Highly recommend attending one of these dinners or just stopping by for a bite to eat. read more

The day we went in, it was the hottest day in 2025. I am not able to say what the food tasted like as I had to leave. They had no air conditioning & failed to tell us. We figured it out, but they let us order 1st. I got sick, as I'm pretty old. So I left. Shame on you, Carrabbas management & wait staff. Shame on you. read more

Less than stellar. Incorrect food was brought to our table 3 different times. All of our broccoli was soggy, my kids chicken tenders were burnt, WAAAY too mu ch sauce on the pasta. And to top it off, my husband looked into the kitchen and saw one of the cooks with a 8" beard without a hair net/beard net. read more

Food: was great, mostly...I personally don't care for my pasta as ALDENTE as offered....but I'm sure it will be great in the reheat... the salmon was perfect sauce even better and I enjoyed my salad. My companion felt the seasoning in the sauce could have been a bit heavier, his dish spaghetti with meatballs ( oregano, basil, or garlic would have been a welcome addition) Aside from the meal Ambiance was nice as is expected at carrabba's love the smooth groves and temp was just right. Service: we were cared for by Suhiyr.... A beautify woman and awesome services she made us feel welcome and appreciated. Very timely in her checking for our service, provided drinks That We're On Point and offered awesome meal recommendations that I will be pleased to Continue at home. read more
