I See You, Carrabba's!! Okay. OKAY. Let me tell you about Friday night. We drove an hour and a half. We crossed STATE LINES. Our swimmer needed carbs, and we needed a win. Carrabba's Savannah delivered both. Family of four, parked in the bar area, very hungry and very needy. Our bartender had blue and pink hair and was running the whole bar, the service well, AND us. She did not drop one single thing. I don't know her name, because she was hustling so hard she never told us, but she is a STAR (and I know because I was a bartender). Then she brought me this espresso martini with a little chocolate feather drawn on top. A FEATHER. On my DRINK. Are you kidding me?? Who does that?? While they're in the weeds (IYKYK). No one. I took more pictures of this martini than I took at the swim meet. My son ordered the Filet and Shrimp Toscana and then said "no mushrooms, no spinach, sub the garlic cream for alfredo please." He basically ordered steak on noodles. They made it perfect anyway and didn't even make a face. Heroes. Don't judge the picture. It was delicious. The Shrimp Linguine alla Vodka (no scallops) came in a giant red bowl, and after tasting it there was honestly some discussion about bathing in it. The Chicken Trio and Classic Trio were yummy, as always. We also got a Chicken Bryan to go for TEN DOLLARS. We were staying in a hotel. We had no microwave. We did not care. TEN DOLLARS, PEOPLE. And the Daou Pessimist was fancy wine for not-fancy money. Love that for me. But here's the best part. The next night we were back home in Beaufort, and my husband was watching football. During a commercial he looked at me, totally out of nowhere, and said: "Damn... how freakin' good was that Carrabba's last night?" This man was THINKING about the Carrabba's. During FOOTBALL. That's all you need to know. Bravo, Carrabba's Savannah. BRAVO! ‍ read more

Visited Carrabba's Italian Grill after not going for over 10 years while in town on business. We were craving Italian and wanted something a step above Olive Garden, so we decided to give it another try. The warm bread with olive oil and spices was a great start--fresh, flavorful, and definitely the highlight of the beginning. We ordered the Tomato Caprese with fresh burrata and were disappointed. I expected it to come with toast or something to pair it with, but it lacked flavor and wasn't worth the price. For entrées, I ordered the Pasta Weesie and my husband had the pistachio-crusted trout. I misunderstood and expected chicken, but it comes with shrimp--so that part was on me. Still, the dish was overly creamy, heavy on green onions, and lacking flavor. It needed lemon and pepper just to make it enjoyable. The trout lost its crunch under the butter sauce, and for a $30 dish, it was pretty underwhelming. We ended with the cannoli, which was the only item that truly felt worth it. Overall, a mixed experience--great bread and dessert, but the entrées didn't live up to expectations. read more

Boring and should have known better. Service was mind numbingly slow. Food came out all wrong. Server basically ghosted us in the middle of what I suppose you call dinner. One star since they only fixed one of the four incorrect entrees. Low effort management. Will not return. read more

We were greeted upon entry and decided to sit in the bar area for Social Hour! My cousin and I have been waiting to try the Social Hour Specials for awhile and our schedules finally connected. We ordered the Shrimp Focaccia Bites, Calamari and the Calabrian Wings.The bartender was very attentive throughout our experience! The wings were hard and overcooked. We do not recommend. The Shrimp Focaccia Bites were tasty and the Calamari was our favorite out of the three! We later ordered the Crab Cakes and they were pretty good just cooked a little hard. We plan to return. We had a overall good experience! read more

It's going to be a Y-E-S every month for the wine tasting dinner event. The service is attentive and quick considering the large groups of people that attend. The food is outstanding and especially chef-curated for the event for many items that cannot be found on the regular menu. The wine is superb as they delightfully match with each of the courses. Plus the pours are generous. It is a good time to socialize with strangers as you share your collective love of food and wine. Next month, I look forward to meeting you there! read more

I love the carrabba chain. Always a great tasting meal. We lve the take home meals. Glad I was traveling this time and could not take a to go, cause my usual the rigatoni left something to be desired. The flavor was off. In fact I left a part of it which I rarely do. They doctored the receipt or some change. Not the same rich taste. read more

First of all, Grazie, our waitress, was great. Callbacks, suggestions for the really cool $10 meal special that we ordered to take home, and her sweet personality all added up to make her one great server. The food was absolutely amazing! The meatball and mozzarella appetizer delicious, a, of course, was the bread with the dipping herbs, and the salads. I love the creamy Parmesan cheese dressing! And now we'll move on to the entrees... the lasagna my granddaughter ordered was really, really tasty. Thankfully she shared a couple of bites with me. However, the showstopper was the Toscana filet and shrimp dish. It was truly one of the best dishes I've ever eaten. The filet, shrimp and pasta were cooked perfectly. And that sauce! Oh.My.Gosh!!! Fabulous! Our meal was finished off with their delicious Tiramisu. I wish the Carrabba's in Macon, GA, was a good as this one in Savannah. Kudos to the chefs and to the wait staff. We were there to celebrate my granddaughter passing her RN NCLEX, and we couldn't have wished for a better meal with which to celebrate! read more

Waiter was attentive but food was not good. I ordered the sirloin with mashed potatoes and broccoli. The mashed potatoes and broccoli was inedible. The steak was ok.

That was my last trip. read more

We tried this place years ago and found the performance to be OK at best. Underwhelming is perhaps, a more accurate characterization. After a hiatus of 10-years we thought we'd try it again. The service and food were again, underwhelming. Service: our waitress was busy trying to run around from table to table in between playing with her cell phone and socializing with other staff. Food: our entrees were cold in spots -- a dead giveaway they either sat under a heating lamp for a while or, they were microwaved unevenly. Regardless, our experience was negative. And to top it all off, we received a bill with the auto-calculation in the footer prompting us to leave a large tip. If I recall correctly, the tipping percentages began at 18%. Look, we all know the restaurant business is a tough grind for all employed. It's hard to be excellent across an entire staff of employees at a given location every hour of every day. The deficiencies I cite here are avoidable. These are work ethic issue that require management oversight. read more

Carrabba's is a restaurant that does not feel incredibly chain like. The food is always delicious. They have a great happy hour! It is from four to seven in the bar. You can get a variety of bites and charcuterie. Of course there is wine, draft beer, cocktails, and sangria pitchers too! My personal faves for the food here are the linguine positano and chicken bryan. The caesar dressing is homemade, it is yum. The bread is also made fresh daily. The tiramisu is my favorite dessert here. My husband loves the chocolate dream dessert. The family bundles are a good deal if you are having a party/gathering or a meal prepping. It all comes ready for you, just choose what you like. You can order online. The service can be spotty here. Sometimes it is excellent. At other times it can be lackluster. It truly depends on how busy they are I have found. Also if you are seated inside or picking up/carside. If you order ahead be prepared to have to walk inside or call to check on your order. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Reusable bag with meal - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

My Brother-in-law and I share the same birthday. We decided to get the whole family, nine of us, together for dinner to celebrate. I picked Carrabba's due to its proximity to all involved. I hadn't been there in years. To be honest, we all went in with expectations that while it probably won't be the best Italian meal, it would do for tonight. At the end of the night, I can tell you it far exceeded everyone's expectations. The food was very good! And the service was equally as good. The restaurant was very well staffed and they were very attentive. Everyone enjoyed their meal. Our entrees ranged from Chicken Bryan, Rigatoni Al Forino, Tuscan Grilled Steak, to Lasagna. My lasagna was outstanding, one of the best restaurant lasagnas I've had. And I have had that dish in many "upscale" Italian restaurants. Since we weren't expecting such a good meal, I didn't plan a review and didn't take any photos before we started. Once I realized how much I enjoyed it, I took a photo of what was left of a very big portion. If you're like me, and check a restaurant on Yelp before visiting, take my review as a sign to visit this place. read more

Party of six; four adults and two teens. We arrived at about 6:30 on a Tuesday we were and seated right away. The restaurant was clean and probably less than half the tables were filled. The food (calamari, chicken trio, mezzaluna, and fettuccine Carrabba) was delicious; the service was awful. Our server barely came around and when he did finally show up and asked if we wanted drink refills, he didn't return with our refills for over 25 minutes. As we were leaving, he asked us to give him a good review. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Calamari - yum! - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

Food - noodles were overcooked and sticky, which made mixing it with the sauce look inedible. Service - having served before, I know it's not an easy job. But at least show your customers some respect. Every time I walk into this restaurant, someone is complaining about how terrible the experience was. Ambiance - depressing to be in. Mind you, I got this meal for free...but I will never spend a dime at this location. Absolutely appalling experience, and I wish I could give -5 stars. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill - Fettuccine Weesie - disgusting. - Italian Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

We made a online reservation, when we got there we was told our name was not list, so we had to wait a additional 20 mins. I have been to other Carrabba's and never had this problem before. The atmosphere of the restaurant is the same as all the other ones, very clean, and average noise. Our waitress V was great. She explained everything in detail. Hope we get her the next time we come. The food was really good also. The raspberry lemonade.is very very sweet. Check out the wine nights of you have never been. Definitely will be back. read more

I ordered curbside and I was very pleased with the packaging and the fact that they didn't forget anything. Someone else picked my order up and I called to let curbside know that they were waiting but she claimed she couldn't find my order. So I call back and the manager answers and magically he finds it with ease and it was already ready and waiting. I felt like the curbside woman didn't actually look for my order or else she would've found it as well. The salad was fresh and the bread as well. I always order the fettuccine weesie but this time it was a bit dry and almost flavorless. I've never had to put 3 packets of salt in my food so that kind of bothered me but I made it work. read more

No wait on a Saturday... woohoo! My husband and I lucked out! The hostess was very friendly. Our server was very attentive! We use to dine at Carrabba's often, but they seemed to have a time period when things went downhill. GREAT NEWS - they're back to being awesome. The zucchini frites were delish. You can tell they just got out of the frier and to our table in minutes. We both ordered the chicken marsala with linguine pasta. The pasta was very fresh! The chicken was tender and smothered with the perfect amount of sauce. Five stars all around! read more

Delicious, hot and packaged with care. When you need good comfort food, this is a great option!

Now I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but there's something about Carrabba's that just feels like comfort. I'm always greeted as soon as I walk in and I typically go straight for the bar. On this visit I was accompanied by one other person so we went to the bar as the restaurant was pretty empty and we didn't plan on being too long. We were immediately greeted by Chris, the bartender. He brought out hot & fresh bread with Italian seasoning and olive oil. Shortly afterwards he brought out two glasses of water without us having to ask. After browsing the menu we decided on our meal. My date ordered the fettuccini weesi with the chicken soup as a side and I ordered the linguini pescatore. Both dishes were delicious & perfectly cooked. I've never had mussels before and I really enjoyed them. I also ordered a drink since we happened to come during happy hour. I asked for the sangria-rita but unfortunately they were out of the BlackBerry debris so I opted for the peach instead. Absolutely delicious. Definitely my new go to drink there. Overall our visit was great. I'm still not a big fan of chain restaurants but Carrabba's treated us right on our visit and I would not be opposed to coming back. read more

Carrabba's Italian Grill (CIG) has always been one of our go-tos in our extended family, as far as corporate chain restaurants go. My MIL is a super picky eater, but she enjoys CIG and it's seems to stay consistent. My husband and I happened to be in the area shopping, so we decided to pop in for a quick lunch while the kids were in school. - Parking - Private lot with ample space. - Vibe - I find this location to be quite large. To the right, there is a full bar, some high top tables and some booth seats by the windows. The kitchen is an open concept toward the very back of the restaurant, so you see all the action. There's a more intimate section to the left separated by a wall. Great for large groups. - Service - Chris took care of us and he's so nice, attentive and so polite. He checked on us often and we had everything we needed from start to finish. The proprietor of the restaurant was doing his rounds, stopping by each table. Most of the customers seemed like regulars. It's always nice that the owner is out on the floor showing his appreciation for the customer's business. A nice personal touch when chains are usually more known for a mechanical interaction. - Eats/Refreshments - Right after we ordered, Chris brought us hot, fresh bread with a plate of EVOO and herbs. I love when restaurants go that extra step and warm up the bread. Dangerous though, because I think my husband and I had a basket of bread each. So addicting! Eggplant Parmesan - I love eggplant (I love the Japanese eggplant even more), but always reluctant to order it in restaurants. It's such a peculiar vegetable, especially the regular, larger variety with a deep purple color. When cooked properly, it is so delicious, but if cooked wrong, it can turn a person off of it for life and how sad is that?! I took a risk ordering the Eggplant Parmesan, but I was craving it after I saw it on the menu. Glad to report, it was well prepared! There were about 5 eggplant slices which was lightly battered and each piece was soft and not spongey, with a good helping of sauce with melted cheese on top. I didn't realize that the entree also came with soup/salad as well as one side, so I chose Penne Pomodoro. The penne was al dente and was great. Once I found out that the soup and penne came with it, it was a better value than I thought. Pizza - my husband ordered this and he thought it was good. Sogno di Ciocolatta "Chocolate Dream" - I have been craving this dessert since the last time I had it which was back in October, so, yes, that's a long time! I would go to CIG just for this dessert alone. It's a fudge brownie (but I think it's more of a dense cake consistency) with some type of real whipped cream layer drizzled with chocolate sauce. I don't know what it is about this dessert that is so different from any other chocolate dessert, but it is SO GOOD! It's a generous piece. My husband said a few people could have shared it but I don't know what planet he's on, he's just lucky I shared LOL. - Kiddos - Pretty sure they have a kids menu, but I didn't check because, no kids on this visit. -Heads Up - Not sure how long this promo is going on for, but if you get an entree when dining in, you get any other entree to take home for $10. That's a . pretty good deal considering the portions. I think the promo is called Take Homemade. All in all, this location is consistent to the CIG brand and I'll definitely be back for that Chocolate Dessert and next time, no sharing! LOL read more

Food is good.spedino del mare is fantastic! Lunch specials are always great during the week.

I had to update my review. They have really revamped the place. The staff is amazing. They were all so friendly and accommodating. And the food was soooo great. My daughter and I sat at the bar. The bartender was very nice. They have Peroni on draft and for happy hour it's only $3. What a great deal! And happy hour that last until 6:30. You just don't see that everyday. We look forward to visiting again. Old review: It had been years since we had visited a Carrabba's. We were so disappointed. The prices are high and the food was okay. The bread was really good. I Ordered a salad with balsamic and a pasta dish with tomato, basil and garlic. The salad dressing and the pasta was just okay. My husband ordered a fried shrimp dish. read more

First and last time there. Started off with my husband feeling things crawling on his legs when we sat down. Then we ordered mozzarella sticks that were very soggy and greasy. Our salads were completely flavorless. Tasted like water. We ordered the lobster ravioli for $25 and there was only 7 on the plate... it wasn't even well sauced. We also ordered linguine florentine chicken which is supposed to have grilled chicken but it looked colorless and bland. The chicken looked boiled. The chief did come out to apologize and said a lot of people complain about the lobster ravioli. read more

Just ate dinner here. The building was very clean and we were sat promptly. The server was very attentive and quick. The mozzarella sticks were good and had HUGE cheese pulls (extra stringy). The fettuccini Alfredo was decent, nothing extraordinary. The Veal Marsala was ok. I thought the Marsala sauce would be a Demi-glaze reduction but it came out to be more of a gravy texture and was just ok. The mushrooms overpowered the whole thing, but luckily I like mushrooms. read more

Carrabba's is always hosting a fun dinner event or offering a dinner special. They are better than their competitor, Olive Garden. The drink list is a good size and prices reasonable. The atmosphere is a bit more upscale than Olive Garden but still a very relaxed restaurant. Overall I found the food to be average. The complimentary bread was a light weight frozen bread dough with much flavor, except too much salt. FAVORITES - Calamari appetizer. It's always tender, and the tomatoes sauce is really good. - Chicken Bryan was good. Topped with goat cheese and lemon butter. TIPS - Take advantage of the wine dinners which happen about twice a month (two opportunities for same dinner). Includes different wine with each meal course. Normally great food and reasonably priced. - Review daily specials - Sangria Sunday's - endless glasses of blackberry, peach or red sangria! AVERAGE - Rigatoni with sausage was good. Be warned it is a heavy dish. - Fettuccini Alfredo sauce was a bit too watery, needed more cheesy richness - Lasagna wasn't bad but needed more ricotta and roasted tomato flavors read more
