My wife and I went to this Carrabba's after not having been to one for several years. The food and service were excellent!!! We had the Calabrian Wings, Calamari, and the Buratta Mozarella and Tomato Caprese for appetizers. Our entrees were Beef Short Rib Marsala, and Shrimp and Scallops ala Vodka, with sides of Sausage and Lentil soup, and a Caesar salad. Desert was Tiramisu and an Espresso Martini. Everything was fresh and delicious!!! read more

They were all very friendly! Server Was good just very slow, it Took him Forever to get things. The wait time for a drink from the bar was ridiculous. Food all came out Correct. No manager rounded the table. read more

came here for mother's day and the wait to be seated was about 20-30 mins and it was packed, luckily me and my boyfriend only waited 5 mins to be seated which i was amazed about, our server was an older lady with glasses and she was lovely the entire time, made sure we got our food and drinks in a timely manner and was very attentive and patient with us, i would definitely come back, the food was fresh and flavorful, the free bread and oil dip they offer is insanely good my boyfriend even asked for some to go read more

Party of 5 on Christmas Eve, we came in around 7:00pm. We called ahead and waited under 10 minutes to be seated upon arrival which was nice. We knew to give the experience some grace since we were going out on Christmas Eve. It wasn't as busy as we were initially expecting. The calamari appetizer was good. The food in general was good enough, what you'd expect from an Italian chain restaurant. It was the service that was lacking. Between lack of knowledge and initiative on how the kitchen was functioning that evening (there was an "out of mashed potatoes" for 20 minutes issue), taking 4 out of 4 orders then coming back over 10 minutes later to finish taking entree orders. It was just an interesting experience overall. I'd go back again, and give it a shot when it's not holiday season but I don't think I'd become a regular. read more

Service is awesome and food is consistently delicious. I have been coming here for years and it does not disappoint.

We love steakhouse restaurants when we're in that mood. But in NY I learned Italian Restaurants have some of the best steaks. And Carrabba's has those steaks. Perfectly cut and cooked and a lot of side choices and soup or salad. For a side you can get a choice of pastas and broccoli and they are all crazy good. We had 2 dinners and two sangrias for $85 before tip. Next time you want a steak go Sopranos style. read more

My wife and I visited Carrabba's for our "Date Night Sunday." We ordered from their "Dinner & Dolce 3-Course Dinner For Two" for $49. I had the Soup of the Day, which was Italian Sausage Soup, and my wife had Mama Mandola's Sicilian Chicken Soup. Of course, we had the server load them up with fresh grated Romano cheese. Both were delishish. I tried her soup but my soup was too spicy for her. For our entrees, I had the Rigatoni Al Forno and my wife ordered the Chicken Marsala with the Garlic Mashed Potatoes. After sitting for a few, we indulged ourselves with the Sogno di Cioccolata (Chocolate Dream). Everything was fantastic and it could not have been a better Date Night. We've never had a subpar meal at Carrabba's and we'll be back in the future. Another great restaurant on our Date Night rotation! read more

We came in as a party of four and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. Our server, Chris, took about 20 minutes to greet us. When she finally did, we gave her our drink order, but she didn't return for another 10 minutes. She said she'd be back, but we waited again, and eventually she took our full order. After that, we waited roughly another 30 minutes and still never received our drinks. We ended up going to the bar ourselves to get them, and the restaurant wasn't even busy. Chris seems like a nice person, but she does not seem suited for the bar area. On top of that, our food arrived lukewarm. Overall, this experience makes me unsure if I would return. Not very happy!!! read more

Date of Visit: July 12, 2025 Location: Carrabba's (Exact Location Withheld) Yesterday, I traveled from Goodyear to this location to meet with friends who live nearby. We arrived around 3:50 p.m. The parking lot was nearly empty--only four vehicles, including mine. Upon entering the restaurant, we were immediately hit with a strong sewer odor. I mentioned it to both my friends and the hostess, who responded, "We'll burn wood." I bit my tongue, but my first thought was: how about fixing the issue instead? We were seated, and our waiter promptly came to take our drink orders. I chose the blood orange margarita. It was just okay--not much alcohol, and not particularly memorable. He then asked if we'd like bread, which caught me off guard. I thought, "Aren't we at Carrabba's?" It felt as odd as being at Olive Garden and being asked if you want breadsticks. I even commented, "Well, I'm not at the Port Charlotte, Florida Carrabba's." I ordered the calamari and asked if the tentacles could be removed. The waiter said they come prepackaged but that he would check. I also requested the creamy Parmesan dressing with the calamari. Shortly after, he brought us all salads. I was surprised--I hadn't ordered one, but assumed maybe it was included. I took two bites and immediately tasted a strong fishy flavor in the dressing. I've made Parmesan dressing myself with anchovy paste, but it has never tasted fishy like this. I let it go, only to see on the bill that I'd been charged $7.99 for the salad I didn't order. At that point, I chose not to raise the issue, as sometimes it's easier to just move on. I hate to say it--and I truly hope I'm wrong for the owner's sake--but this location seems to be struggling. I wouldn't be surprised if it's not open a year from now, especially given the increasingly sketchy area it's in. P.S. None of this reflects poorly on the waiter. He did the best he could under the circumstances. read more

I couldn't decide what I wanted so I had to try both soups. My friend had salmon with a side of pasta on the side and also have the Caesar salad and she said they, all of it was delicious. Thank you Brandon and Mandy for taking such great care of us today we really appreciate you. I WOULD RECOMMEND read more

Food was okay. I had the shrimp and scallop linguine alla vodka and the pasta was over cooked. Same texture as the noodles in canned chicken noodle. The bathroom was not great and was imo dirty and not very clean. The bread was crunchy as a crouton and not great. Same level as an Olive Garden or a chilis read more

I found this place on Uber Eats one night and was immediately hooked!!! Great food,sweet staff (I spoke with the SWEETEST blonde girl and she brought me my food to my car). If you're looking for good Italian, try them!! read more

It has been a while since I have been to a Carrabba's Italian Grill. I remember them being quite a spectacular place to eat. We ate at the one off of Bell Road out in Glendale. The food was good. We were pressed for time and the waitress was extremely accommodating. They had our main course out before we were able to finish our bread and salad appetizers. My wife loves chicken and loves a lemon sauce, so we got her the chicken piccata. I also enjoyed that sauce so I had them make me a shrimp piccata. Not quite the scale of a Maggiano's, but it was close by and it worked well for us. read more

Drinks were great. Food was good. Service was excellent by Sierra. Restaurant was decorated for Christmas.

Today was a head to head match between their rib eye and filet... and given the choice, the clear winner for taste is the rib eye. I recommend the marsala sauce (contains mushrooms) for an additional $4. We went with a Cabernet Sauvignon, but the Pinot might have been a better way to go. The cannoli cake was good, but the end that was rolled in chocolate chips was a detractor, in our opinion. read more

We stopped in for dinner last night with our daughter. It has been many years since we have been to a Carrabba's and it will not be our last. I did try to get on the waitlist online but it was not showing when we arrived, however the host was able to seat us right away. Our waitress was very attentive and answered all our questions. We opted to try the Calamari to start and share. Then my daughter got the chicken Parmesan with Alfredo noodles, my husband got the Linguine Pescatore and I opted for the chicken trio. Everything was delicious and I walked away definitely being part of the clean plate club. We will definitely be back. read more

I have never had anything I didn't like, the food is Very tasty! Portion size is good and service is good also..

I advise not to get takeout from the Avondale store. Substandard for sure. Order had not even been prepared when we arrived. The side of spaghetti had less than 1/4c of sauce. Chicken trio was dry. Dessert was shoved in a container. For spending $57 I expected more. read more

I ordered Linguine Positano at the Surprise location, it was awful. The linguine was well overcooked. The entire dish was very oily. The shrimp was overcooked and very salty. This was not eatable. This restaurant in Surprise use to be good. Off my list. read more

It had been 5 years to the day since I was last in a Carabbas. The Chicken Bryan was cooked nicely and not dry at all. The goat cheese and sundried tomatoes add a nice sweet tang that I love. The side Caesar salad was nicely dressed and the lettuce and croutons were fresh. Good service and nicely balanced drinks. read more

Hubby wanted to mark his birthday with enjoying his most favorite cuisine, Italian, from the comforts of home. We live nearby and Carrabba's menu was appealing to us. Ordering online was very easy for the most part and I love how they allow different payment options. There are 3: pay right away online, pay at the restaurant, or pay by Carrabba's gift card(s). I haven't seen the different payment methods ever offered anywhere else so I greatly appreciate this. During the online ordering, we encountered an issue with their fries where you could not add either a side of fries or entrees that came with fries to your cart. For those entrees, you would be forced to select a different side in order to continue. I did bring this up to the server when I arrived at the restaurant and was able to order a side of fries in person. Our order was ready shortly after the original quoted ready time and everything was neatly packed with nothing missing. It also appears that staff has a system in place to double check the order is correct before sending it out as I notice markings on the order ticket. Definitely appreciate this as well as it makes me feel like they do care for their guests. Our meals were a big hit and hubby and I have plenty of leftovers. Our kiddos enjoyed their meals as well as they managed to finish it all. My other critique after the online ordering issue for the one item is that there are no obvious signage to direct where to go to get your pick-up order. I walked to the front entrance first and there was a sign posted to the door directing people to go to the back to get their pick-ups. I walked around back and there was no one inside at first, leaving me confused. My server did show up shortly after I arrived and everything was smooth sailing afterwards. I did bring up my confusion and he agreed that there was no obvious signage and wished that there was. Overall, I would love to order again from here or come back to dine in-person. read more

Nice menu, good food,!staff was great. Prices are average to what is going on. This location was very busy and got everyone taken care of.

I love their food....it's always very good and consistent. I normally sit at the bar and always have great service. I feel like it's a neighborly atmosphere, everyone is friendly! read more

Food is good and service is excellent. The restaurant could use a little refreshing, however it's clean and welcoming. read more

Went to Carrabba's and it smelt like shit as usual but the food never disappoints. I got the Tucson Grilled Sirloin with a side of spinach. My steak was cooked perfectly medium rare like i asked and paired wonderfully with the spinach. I'd also like to add that the service was great! read more

Food is above average for a chain services. Very good decor is OK. Would go there two times a month so not too bad. Missed the happy hour.

I said I wanted for my party of two to be seated wherever in the restaurant was most quiet -- not a tall order on a Thursday, the place was pretty empty. The hostess kept asking me what area I wanted, I kept repeating that I wanted us wherever is quietest. Then we were seated next to the bar, in a booth adjacent to 3 loud jerks. Another guy at the bar was laughing like an unbridled donkey. The waitress forgot to write down part of the order and came back and asked what we wanted again. The food itself was fine, but I felt disrespected by the staff. read more

One of the more disappointing dining experiences at a Carrabba's. There were three items on the menu we were told were unavailable after we had ordered and waited. The quality of food was barely mediocre. If this was my only Carrabba's experience I would never eat at another again. read more

Got a gift card years ago on my birthday, I had never been in before. One night I just felt like not cooking I decided to cure my craving, why not? Great take out service! Craving lasagna, made a call and walked out with my dinner beyond happy! Craving conquered! Quick & easy takeout! Tasted fantastic! Thank you for great service! read more

The food is delicious! The veal marsala is very good and i think that the lentil soup is the best. The prices have increased as have other venues. The service is great. Waitresses are very attentive. However, unless you are a fan of ice? Don't order a mixed drink! 2/3 of the drink is ice. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Bloody mary - Italian Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

Always enjoyed taking my family here but had a bad experience on my last visit . Took my grown children out to celebrate and said it's on me, get whatever you want ! Server brings the check, comes back and announces that my credit card had been declined. She ran it three times . I was pretty embarrassed but my son grabbed the check and I was able to Apple Pay the money to him . Called my bank to find out why my card had been declined and they said the server swiped the card instead of inserting the chip . I called the restaurant and asked if they could let the servers know ( without naming the server) so that it didn't happen to someone else . Apparently they don't have machines for chips and only swipe . They also don't have Apple Pay so I'm not sure what I would have done if my son wasn't with me as the server didn't seem to have any idea why this happened and just said I hope everything turns out to be ok when I said I'd call the bank. Unfortunately I won't be back . read more

I felt 120% like the only good part of this meal was the Curbside Service. She was quick, Extra polite and IN-AND-OUT-WITH food in car in under 3 minutes... Calamari was oddly off... Wife had almost a palm of Tenticles, and I HAD NONE. Had to trade when normally they ate plentiful. Ceaser Salad looked like they ran low on chilled light crispy parts and was mostly Dark Green And not light and crispy. And The Meatballs....wow...wife liked and did not like the taste of the Ricotta. Saving grace was the Pistachio Canolies Felt like I should have returned Receipt for partial refund. I was do dissatisfied... read more

great date night! first - if you sign up online for their rewards program you get a free order of calamari which is a $15 value. we enjoyed the free app along with a rose sangria that was delicious (trust me- get the 9 oz option!) hubby got the Chicken Bryan which is his go to. I opted for simplicity - just Spaghetti with vodka sauce and it didn't disappoint! service was terrific - Veronica was friendly and efficient. read more

It's time for an update review by me. This Carrabba's only serves dinners for sit down dining. It is still a favorite with family living in town. My 5-Star rating is for the consistently good food preparation and service, even with few waiters in these covid times. Three of us had Mahi Wulfe, one had Veal Piccata, and I had the Linguine Positano, a delicious al dente linguine with crushed tomatoes, garlic, basil, and olive oil topped with a tender grilled chicken breast. All of our dishes were very good, as were several salads and cups of Sicilian Chicken Soup, the soup of the day. This place gets very busy, so your larger party may have a wait. The food is worth a try if you are in the mood for an Italian/American dinner. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Linguine Positano topped with grilled chicken breast. Lots of Romano cheese added at the table. Delish! - Italian Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

We were a huge group! We were welcomed in and shown to the area reserved for us. It was a whole lot of tables set up in a line. One side was on a booth-like bench seat which required a whole lot of scooting to get in and out if you were seated in the middle! And conversation was limited to those immediately near to you. Our waiter...yup, one server!...actually did a great job! But he certainly could have used help. Our food orders came from the kitchen in a pretty good arrangement. We mostly all got our food near the same time...amazing for so many orders!! read more
