Felt like having Italian, and I saw many Italian places that quite frankly scared me with their entree prices. So my wife and I thought about going back to Carrabba's. We hadn't been there in years. We've done so many of the chain restaurants but the food really lacked taste. Carrabba's tonight was different. First, loved the fresh bread dipped in olive oil. We ordered zucchini frites - quite crunchy and tasty as our appetizer. She ordered the linguine postano with chicken (~ $20). She loved the sauce and quite a bit of chicken. Linguine was cooked just right and didn't clump together. Her only complaint - it was too much food and she couldn't finish it (we brought it home). I ordered the beef filet and shrimp toscana (~ $31). Loved my dinner entree. Beef was cooked medium and was flavorful and tender. The shrimp were seasoned well and tasted wonderfully. The linguine was cooked just right with a cheese sauce that wasn't thick and pasty. It wasn't too thin either - it was just right. I too couldn't finish my plate - just a lot of food on my plate. Took it home as well. Our server Ben was great - he and the manager checked on us several times and refilled our drinks. We were there around 5pm so we beat the dinner rush but the restaurant wasn't too busy or noisy at all. All together, a great date night out. Good food, great conversation, good value for the money. read more

Went on a Saturday evening for dinner. Concerned when there were three groups of people standing outside. We walked in and saw there were seats at the bar. Turns out the people had already eaten and had such a good time they were just hanging out and talking. Colin got Tony's quickly despite being slammed with orders. We were brought water and delicious bread while we looked over the drink menu. He had good suggestions for beverages and dinner. Food was excellent and we both ended up needing "to-go" containers. Those heat up the food for lunch the next day. Prices were reasonable, service was excellent and the food was delicious. What else do you need? read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Rigatoni Martino - Italian Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

We haven't had Carrrabba's in a long time and decided to stop for dinner. Party of 3, and we got seated in a booth right away. Waiter was a very nice young man. We got our drink orders and hot bread with olive oil and bread seasoning right away and orders placed. I got Chicken Piccata and you get 2 sides so I ordered sautéed spinach and angel hair pasta. Hubby got Shrimp and Scallop Linguini in Vodka sauce and our friend got Chicken Alfredo. All three of us loved our food. The flavor in the lemon butter sauce in the Piccata was delicious! Chicken was cooked perfectly as was the fresh spinach! My hubby said he would 100% get the Linguini again and my friend said her Alfredo was perfect. Not too thick but not too thin, good flavor and noodles had good chew. All in all, we were very happy. Good portion sizes, we got to go containers. Sometimes we forget just how good some of these older chains are but that's why they've lasted in the business. read more

Haven't been here in a long time. I came for the wine and dinner event . The food was really good and interesting in the wine paring . I thought the tickets were alittle high compared to some other events I been to . But we had a nice time . I had a heck of time finding the exit tho at night . They need a sign closer to the road. Really hard to see where the drive is read more

I wouldn't trust this place if you have a gluten allergy.The manager seemed to care less about customer service and never even acknowledged us. The waitress told us they didn't have any gluten free pasta and then told us they did, but would take another 10-15 minutes, which wasn't a problem. Unfortunately the pasta wasn't fully cooked and they acted like we were the issue. They charged us for the soft drinks and we left a $20. My wife and I both had stomach issues later that evening. We have eaten here many times before without issues. This will be the last time we will be dining here. read more

This may only be because I ordered curbside pickup because my normal experience in-store has always been positive. I ordered two orders of my favorite appetizer the crab and sausage stuffed mushrooms and always receive either 5 large or 6 average size mushrooms in-house but this order was 3 tiny mushrooms for each order with 2 containers of sauce each to dip in. Needless to say 3 of the sauces went unused. Also ordered the crab cakes(x2) and this supposed to be meals for me and a friend but either of us could have eaten the entire order by ourselves due to the tiny portions. I highly recommend you never order curbside, they do not treat you the same as if you sit down to eat. First time I can honestly say I was totally disappointed in my Carrabba's experience. read more

I came to Carrabba's during my time in Columbus because simply im obsessed with their restaurants. I have loved them for years, being my favorite Italian chain restaurant. The food and service are always great at a Carrabba's! This place is no exception! Enjoyed my spicy lentil soup, the shrimp scampi app, and of course my main course... it was a limited menu tomahawk chop...'omg so good!!!! Loved my time here but had a long drive to make back home... this gave me the strength to do it! read more

I really enjoyed my salad. The only downside was the loud music, which made it hard to talk.

The food was good. Cannoli cake was delicious. Service was good. Drinks were slow or I would have ordered more. And a take home meal deal, add an entree to take home for $10. read more

I had an appetizer of calamari. They tasted like they were frozen and then cooked a bit too long. Or maybe they had been frozen too long. Not sure but they were kind of hard. The sauce was good - marinara and a spicy cream sauce. Though I think they would be better to eliminate the creamy texture from the sauce and just make a hot and sweet sauce. I also had a side house salad with creamy parm dressing. It was unremarkable. And the mozzarella sticks are good - large plants of cheese breaded and fried. They taste homemade. Not greasy at all. The pomegranate martini was definitely the star. A bit sweet, a touch tart and lovely fruit taste. Service was ok. We had to ask a couple times for drink refills. The ambiance is more upscale chain. Nothing fancy but it's nice. read more

Sat at the bar to have dinner and drinks. Bartender was very attentive to our needs. Great Italian atmosphere and the best italian food.

Ordered food for lunch hour yesterday . Service was great, worst Italian I've ever had. The salad was the best part. Alfredo sauce was the consistency of milk. Lasagna was from the day before reheated with COLD sauce put on it. The chicken parm was good. Over all super disappointed but had a new hire with me who I was taking out to lunch. I didn't wanna make a scene. So I figured I would write a review. Never been disappointed before with Carrabbas, I don't write many reviews. But this was so disappointing I had too. I won't be back I'll go to Olive Garden or fazolies over this place. read more

My lasagna and house salad we're both outstanding! The portions are always very generous and the quality of the food is consistently superb.

Kaylin was a fantastic server tonight at Carrabba's Italian Grill in Hilliard. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we sat down. My husband and I both had the Chicken Bryan, and our son had the kids' shrimp, and everything was excellent. You can tell Kaylin genuinely cares about taking great care of her guests. Restaurant work can be stressful, but she handled everything with such a positive attitude. Hope management sees this -- she did a wonderful job! read more

Really enjoyed the experience here. A step or two up from your local OG restaurant. Warm bread served with an oil and spice 'dip' while you wait. Tuscan grilled sirloin was very good. Fettuccine Weesie was delicious. The Alfredo sauce was exactly what it should be. Chicken Parm with penne pomodoro was also top notch. Interior was warm and inviting. read more

I think Carrabba's is one of the most underrated restaurants in the Polaris area. Every time I dine there it is always fantastic. I usually get the Tuscan pork chop with Marsala sauce and it never disappoints. I also love their Alfredo sauce with linguine as a side. Their service is usually very good and the restaurant is very neat and clean. Iwill definitely be back. read more

We sat at the bar. Quill, the bartender took excellent care of us. We decided to enjoy the happy hour and that is exactly what we did. Quill explained the happy hour offerers and then we ordered. We had delicious specialized drinks ( pomegranate, martini & an Italian, old-fashioned ) and appetizers. The bar itself was full of fun people that added to the happy hour experience. Quill kept the food and drinks coming. We will be back. read more

This is one of our anniversary celebration places. It's always consistently awesome. The servers are awesome. The food is awesome. We always get the same thing because it's our favorite and we can't get it just anywhere. I always get the Veal Marsala. Omg it's amazing. So tender. So flavorful. Ugh. So delish. My husband always gets the Pollo Rosa Maria. He loves it. Always so tender and flavorful as well. And the bread. And the herb dipping oil. SO. GOOD. read more

For a $30 meal i expected a slightly better cut of steak. It was tough and grisly. But our server, McCain was fantastic. She went above to correct the fact that the salad and soup didn't come out before dinner. It's been awhile but the lentil soup always brings me back. read more

Well, the curbside lady she was amazing. I haven't eaten my food yet, but she was on top of everything. She was working really hard so I wanted to give her five stars. I wish I knew her name. read more

This location is MUCH better than the one at Polaris in pretty much every way. On my most recent visit I had great service and the food was also excellent. One thing I would highly suggest they do is gut out their booths and add new ones. My party requested a booth and quickly had to move to a table because the booths are only big enough for kids to sit in them. During the course of my meal I saw 4 other parties who were sat at booths ask to move to tables. On to the food. I got the chicken piccata with fettuccine alfredo and I must say it was exceptionally good today. Great lemon flavor on the chicken and super cheesy alfredo sauce. Only things that were meh today were the chicken soup that came with my meal (barely any chicken or noodles) and the coke was a bit flat. But neither one was atrocious. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Chicken Piccata with Fettuccine Alfredo - Italian Near Me - Hilliard, Ohio

The new happy hour special is awesome. A friend and I sat at the bar and were promptly greeted by the awesome bartender. He explained all of the offerings of the new menu and told us his takes on what he thought was good according to what our likes are. My friend and I got a few things off the happy hour menu to share and they were all fresh and delicious. To no fault of the restaurant, we went on carb overload and quickly got stuffed due to us also getting drinks. The drinks were tasty but not that strong which is not unexpected for a chain restaurant and on top of that it was discounted for happy hour. This deal is great for those of you looking to get some good bites on a budget. read more

During the pandemic we ordered many times from what has become our favorite Italian restaurant. Recently we have returned many timesand have always been happy with our meals. I am a sucker for Chicken Piccata and it's regurlay on their menu. The service staff is always wonderful and quick. Love the atmosphere...and we still do pickup. read more

Ordered delivery. Bag was secured shut and everything was packed with care and was still hot upon delivery. I would have given 5 stars but everything was very salty. You need water constantly flowing in order to get through it. If it was only one thing overly salty then easily would've been at least four stars because there was really nothing else wrong with the food. Portion size for both meals were great, salads were fresh, bread was fresh and tasty (that was the only thing we could eat in addition to the salads). Please whoever is in charge of seasoning the food......back away from the salt! Far, far away! read more

I cannot even give an accurate rating because we didn't make it that far. Waitress was too preoccupied with the table behind us to even bring our drinks to the table. Was seated for 20 minutes and did not attempt to bring us anything. Needless to say we left. Worst service I have ever had anywhere. The app makes you give at least on star but I would not even give it a half star. read more

I'll start by saying it feels like chain Italian is a dying breed. Hard to find good Italian at a reasonable price .Service was commendable here. My delicate red was brought out quick along with some bread n butter. It was clean, kind of dim, bar appeared inviting . Good tv in the middle. Food wasn't bad wasn't noteworthy. Sauce lacked the gusto I remembered growing up in Italy. Needed a little pizazz . read more

I'm tired of delivery orders missing items. One entree missed the pasta side and one trio only had 2 of the three items. I'm sorry. You don't allow for any special directions on delivery orders so how hard can it be to put the right items in the right box and the right bags. read more

polite & helpful service. Food is fresh & properly prepared. my only complaint on delivery is when I order extra dressing it's seldomly included. read more

We ordered a starter of zucchini fritte, which are basically fried. The dipping sauce was really good. I got the shrimp and scallop linguine alla vodka for my meal and a Caesar salad. I mistakenly ordered a side of broccoli thinking my dish came with a side, but the pastas don't. I didn't really like the broccoli, so I was even more disappointed to find out it was extra. Oh well. None of the other side dishes really appealed to me. It seems like a weak point in their menu. This would probably be a three star review except that the service was above and beyond exceptional. read more

What a great location!! I loved everything from the minute I sat down until I left! The waiter was great giving us a list of specials. He let us know it was happy hour, which was amazing. They had all different flavors of sangrias available . I tried the peach and blackberry. Highly recommend both of these! The appetizer came in a timely manner and wow was it delicious!! I love mussels but this sauce with them set them above and beyond! Lightly salted with white wine and lots of garlic flavor. I ordered the lobster ravioli for my main course.. pasta was so fresh! Large amounts of lobster and the cream sauce just was so creamy and delicious. I can't wait to go back here! Highly recommend this location and the staff ! So friendly and very good service!! Thank you !! read more

I came back here after an amazing event with Yelp Elite squad. This time my husband and I enjoyed a full meal with their new menu they rolled out. We started off with the mussels, they had a special creamy butter. The waiter of course also brought out the dangerously tasty bread and olive oil they are known for. My husband clearly enjoyed it. From there we ordered our main dinner entrees. I got this seafood combination with scallops and shrimp with their famous garlic mashed potatoes. The dish was good, it had citrus tones of flavor. Thanks to the manager in training for recommending that dish. My husband also enjoyed his three chicken combination dish with of course three different kinds of chicken. The chicken marsala and chicken Bryan are the only ones I remember clearly since he wouldn't stop raving about them as well. Carrabas clearly knew how to meet and exceed our expectations for dinner. We will definitely be back soon. Cannot wait to dine again! read more

Carrarabas Italian grill serves Americanized Italian food. We got the Linguini in vodka sauce and the chicken Parmesan. Both dishes were just okay but the service was outstanding. The server was a young kid who was extremely hard working and polite. And took the time to explain parts of the menu and was very helpful in taking one of the dishes back because it didn't come with the right substitution. read more
