Carrabba's Italian Grill

Pros: food presentation
Cons: nothing

This is written on the one located on Mt. Zion Blvd. The bread is good, but they give you some kind of weird oil to dip it in, which you either hate or love. (I liked it because it was different than just plain old butter).

The menu actually...

Pros: The wine bottle door handles were cute.
Cons: Waitstaff, food, atmosphere

This is a sorry, sorry excuse for an Italian restaurant, even for a chain. I ate here during a very slow time when there was more than enough waitstaff around to attend to me, but I was still made to wait over ten minutes to be seated. That is...

Pros: great quality, big portions, affordable
Cons: always a long wait

Carrabbas has to be the best place to get Italian food in Atlanta. The menu has everything - pasta, chicken, veal, and a great selection of appetizers. You cannot come to Carrabbas without trying the marinara sauce - with the pasta or with an order of...

Pros: Consistently good food.
Cons: Occasionally long waits, tables very close together.

My wife and I have been to Carrabbas numerous times, and the the food is always excellent. Anything on the menu that ends with Marsala is definitely worth trying. We've also tried the house special (Pollo Rosa or something like that) and it was great....

Pros: Very tasty, reasonable, nice ambiance
Cons: overzealous waiters

Carrabba's is our favorite restaurant in town - no holds barred. We went so much that we sort of burnt out on it and have tapered off as of late. I always make a point to take out of town guests to Carrabba's - it's never failed to impress. The ...

Pros: Good service
Cons: Mediocre Food Selection

I have worked at Scalini's and Provino's as a busboy, salad prep. person and put in cook. I have eaten more than my share of differing Italian dishes.

Carrabba's was better than Olive Garden but lower than Macaroni Grill for me. The food...

Pros: Professionalism of manager
Cons: Poor tasting food. Bread was stale. Salad dressing was quite poor.

Quite an overpriced experience, considering the relatively poor taste of the delivered product. The "Italian Salad" had a horrible dressing. The bread was bordering on stale. The service was SLOW and our wait person never checked up on us.

The host didn't understand English. When asking for non-smoking, he placed us in the table next to smoking. We asked to be moved (plenty of seats were available), but he didn't understand our request.

The manager was very professional in his handling of our complaint, and asked us to return and call before our call. Thanks to the manager for making a horrible situation just poor.

Maybe my family just doesn't get "it", but we found Carrabba's to be a below-average overpriced experience.

Pros: Great menu and great atmosphere.
Cons: Food too heavily laced with salt, see above.

I have eaten at Carrabba's in Baltimore MD, Jacksonville FL and Chadd's Ford PA. The ONLY thing I noticed that really needs improvement is their sauces. I had the Chicken Marsala twice and both times it was so salty I had to send it back. In times when salt is not seen as a good thing for most people, it seems odd that the chefs would be so heavy-handed with the salt.
Don't get me wrong, I love salt but this was so bad it was inedible. My suggestion, let the customer add the salt if they want to and don't add it in the kitchen.
Otherwise, delightful restaurants in all three places.

Pros: Excellent homemade food and service.
Cons: A bit pricey but won't break your bank.

I go to Carrabba's frequently (in Fullerton, MD), and I've tried everything on their menu. I have to say that there was nothing that I didn't enjoy thoroughly. Everything is cooked over an open fire before your eyes, and is bursting with flavor the minute it hits your taste buds. Aside from Little Italy downtown Carrabba's is the place to find superior food quality and service as well as a "bambino" friendly environment. I highly recommend this to anyone who is as anal as I am about service and food quality!

Pros: Amount of food for price Price Atmosphere
Cons: Exactly what you expect, no more, no less

I personally love Carrabba's because you get alot for what you pay for. The bread and olive oil to start your meal is a nice touch and the wine selection is good but the treat is in the food. No matter what you order you will get alot. The Minestrone is very good and the salads are also ver hearty. I've enjoyed almost all the entres I have ordered as well. The atmoshere is good for dinner I wouldn't really recommend it for lunch. These places can get pretty crowded on the weekends so make sure you've alotted plenty of time. The only real con I can find is the total lack of originality. Everything is exactly what you expect. The Veal taste like veal the lasagna taste like lasagna. The food is good but for the most part ordinary with few suprises. This place does a good job as a standard first date spot although I took a date there once and the server absolutely would not leave us alone even though we made it obvious we were annoyed, but this was a one time event and I havent experienced it since.

Pros: Good Food, NO, GREAT food. Very helpful staff.
Cons: NONE

Hands down, this is my new favorite place, my college classmates took me to the Carrabbas in Jacksonville, Florida on Atlantic Blvd., to celebrate my birthday, I am a very picky eater and I love food that's  made fresh with fresh ingredients, I was impressed, and am going back again. 

Pros: No pros at this Carrabba's.
Cons: ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE MANAGEMENT AND NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.

We were informed that the bar area was on a "first come, first serve basis" for dinner. When we seated ourselves at an open bar booth, we were told that the bar booths were reserved for smokers on a waiting list and were told to leave. When I asked to speak to the manager, Mr. Tom Boettger, he told us the same thing and asked us to leave the restaurant. How's that for customer service?

Pros: Great service, Amazing food, Perfect atmosphere
Cons: None

We visited Carrabba's for the first time because we had received a gift card. It was a great experience! The service was first class. They gave us free dessert because it was our first visit and the food was incredible. On top of that, our bill was just over $25 and the waiter paid the difference so that our $25 gift would cover the entire bill. (We didn't ask him to do it). We will definitely be back!

Pros: Authentic feel and menu
Cons: Poor service, food somewhat overpriced.

So, anyway, we never tried this restaurant and so off we went, to celebrate our anniversary. When we arrived, the hostess provided us with a lackluster greeting, and by the way she looked about 15 years old. After we were seated, we were greeted by our server, and we were given some bread, which was not that tasty. We then ordered some champagne and water. At first glance the menu looked great, I ordered a wood fired pizza, and the wife ordered lasagna. I also was given a salad, the salad was ok, and not what I expected. The pizza, was unique, but not as great as I expected. The lasagna was quite tasty, but overall I felt like something was missing.
