Carrabba's Italian Grill

Had such a great experience at Carrabba’s today! I started with the Calabrian Shrimp Skewers and they were absolutely amazing — perfectly grilled with just the right amount of heat and flavor. For my entree, I had the Filet & Shrimp Toscana pasta and WOW. The steak was cooked perfectly and so tender, the shrimp were flavorful, and the creamy Toscana sauce tied everything together beautifully. Every bite was delicious. Trey, the bartender, made the whole experience even better. He was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything. Great service and great food — I’ll definitely be back!

Alleigh was amazing! She was very tentative. Diana was also very attentive to my needs. Both were friendly, lively, a true breathe of fresh air to my evening. In regards to the food I got the eggplant parm with broccoli and sautéed spinach. It was amazing. Ate every bite. I also got a $10 take home meal with the seasonal special which I will be trying later. Everything was absolutely perfect. Thank you so much!

Had a really great experience at Carrabba’s today. I ordered the Fettuccine Carrabba and it was so good — super creamy and flavorful, honestly one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a minute. Our server, Sierra, was amazing. She was really sweet, checked in at the perfect times, and just made the whole meal really comfortable and enjoyable. I also want to mention the manager, Erick — I didn’t even talk to him personally, but you can tell he runs the place well. The atmosphere felt relaxed and everyone seemed to be in a good mood, so I feel like that says a lot. Definitely coming back :) 🍝✨

We came to the Houston area today and decided in a rush to try this wonderful place and I'll say it is honestly some of the best Italian food I've had by far ! We were greeted by the wonderful hostess at the front who promptly took us to our table where we sat in a nice spacious booth and ordered the trio appetizer and it was delicious the calamari was cooked to perfection! And their tomato sauce was incredible. I had the tea with blackberry and it had such a nice flavor one of the best I've had. The bread and herb dip appetizer was lovely nice herby flavor. Every one of us had a wonderful entree and I can honestly say not a single thing on our table lacked flavor and the ability to astonish us 🤍 we had the lovely Alex as our waiter and he was so nice and informative he explained everything to us with it being our first time here he made the ability to pick an entree extremely easy and I'll say he nailed it! The manager Eric was incredible and very personable as well. I highly recommend coming here if you haven't 🤍 I would gladly drive all the way to Houston to eat here any chance I get ! Especially with the absolute killer of a deal with the $10 take home deal 🤝 amazing deal and you'd be a fool to pass that opportunity up!

Disappointing experience at Carrabba’s but in the end the manager did make it right. I placed a curbside pickup order with a confirmed pickup time and arrived a few minutes early. I called to check in and waited in my vehicle. After several minutes, I decided to walk inside so staff wouldn’t have to come out. It took seven minutes just to be acknowledged. When I was finally spoken to, I was told I was already checked in and someone would bring my food to my car. While waiting inside, I saw a bag placed on the bar counter at 6:03 p.m. — which I later discovered was my order. By 6:11 p.m., I still hadn’t received my food, so I went back inside. At that point, my order was already 20 minutes past the promised time. The hostess walked to the exact spot where the bag had been sitting and handed it to me. I mentioned that the bag had clearly been sitting there for at least 15 minutes, and she insisted it had just been placed there. I asked her to confirm that all items were included, and she assured me everything was in the bag. Unfortunately, when I got home, the main course — an entire steak dinner — was missing. I immediately called the restaurant and was hung up on (possibly accidentally). I called back and asked to speak to a manager, but was put on hold because he was “speaking to tables.” I was then disconnected again. After calling a third time and waiting on hold for seven more minutes, I was once again told the manager couldn’t come to the phone. It has now been over 30 minutes, and I still have not received a call back. The lack of organization, accountability, and basic customer service was incredibly frustrating. Mistakes can happen — but the way they are handled makes all the difference. **Update, I did receive a call back and was assured I would be refunded. I did see my refund completed. The manager made sure to take care of us when it was all said and done.

Most of my reviews are positive, this one is hard to post because I've had better experiences before... Long wait before server got to the table, dishes were dirty, soup was disgusting, etc. (Pictures are taken as items arrived to the table). I will be visiting again as Carrabas has been one of my favorite go to for Italian food. Hopping to come back motivated to remove this negative review.

I went to Carrabba's restaurant in The Woodlands and sat at the bar for dinner last night to watch the college football games. The two young ladies serving the bar area were very customer friendly and did a great job! They took care of everything in a pleasant and timely manner. I ordered the Ribeye steak cooked medium with angel hair pasta in butter, with a side of asparagus and a caesar salad accompanied with a glass of Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio wine. The Ribeye steak was cooked perfectly and is probably one of the best Ribeye steaks that I've had at a restaurant in years! I topped off dinner with A slice of Cheesecake drizzled in chocolate which was Awesome! I highly recommend the Ribeye steak and the awasome Cheesecake for desert! Great job Carrabba's!

This was our first time coming in. We had 5 adults and 2 kids and we were seated right away. Our server Alex was great. He was fast and attentive. All the food came in fast. We throughly enjoyed our first fisit.

i had dinner today at Carrabbas , and my waitress was perfect , polite , helpful and made me feel she was family . gave me great menu options. I was tired from work and she liFred up my day with her personality hahah. I now call her MARY WITH THE BUN .. I hope she don't mind . (her hair is up in a bun) it's feels so great to have a server that can turn your day around and to make your dinner spectacular . THANK YOU MARY WITH THE BUN ..

Love dining here! Alex V. Is always so attentive and gives us the absolute best service! The food taste great and is always made to our liking. Overall a wonderful experience everytime we dine here.

Good unbeatable Service is on point Have been going to Carrabas for over 15 years. Never had a bad experience

Delicious food, my choice of sandwich and soup accompanied with extra fresh baked bread and a sachet of olive oil. All well packed, well organized and delivery on time!

Carrabba's is a go-to restaurant when we're craving Italian and needing a quick fix. We've never received bad service at this location. All the servers have always been so kind, helpful, quick and knowledgeable. My husband has even made friends with a couple of them. No matter how large our party size, when we come here we are always seated quickly. The food is tasty. Of course, the bread and oil is a good start but highly recommend getting any of their appetizers. We always order the mussels, calamari and/or fried mozzarella. You can always get their combo app which has three appetizer options. Our favorite entrees include the veal marsala, fettuccine weesie, and any pastas. I was disappointed during a time when they got rid of my favorite dessert but so happy to say now that it is back and there to stay: John Cole!

The food was over seasoned Prices are high for the quality Lights are turned up .. no ambiance The Woodlands location cannot compare to the Katy location which rates a 5 star.

Only Carrabba's Original on Woodway at Voss! Rosie's place-- We think it is the best!! Everything from eggplant parmigiana to service to big comfortable chairs and tables! Whether dining inside or out, the waiters are exceptional - attentive and helpful! They never disappear into thin air. They never hand you a box if you are taking something home--they take your leftovers and pack them with rolls carefully! Every meal here is an adventure in great taste and service! This location never disappoints - you will always want to return!!

Another place i had been wanting to try and let's just say that it did not disappoint. We were quickly seated the waiter was attentive and had some great recommendations that we ended up trying. The bread with the oil and seasonings were a nice compliment to the dish.

This was my first time at Carrabba's. Customer service at this location was superb! Food was delicious and restaurant was lovely. However, the menu(for my taste) didn't have enough options. I love tortellini and it is not on the menu also no chicken fettuccine another of my favs. Will definitely stop in again just not in a hurry.

I went to the Dad and daughter date 09/30/25. They had a set menu. Ok. Im fine with that. Well my daughter and me ordered that lasagna. Worst lasagna I've ever had. It was out of a box. And I got a side of fettuccine. Dry. Little sauce. Noddles look like they been sitting for awhile. Never again will I go back. The service of the waiter, was the best part.

Excellent Italian food! Genuine and authentic wood fired plates coming from Mrs. Rosie and the veteran kitchen staff! Front of the house service lead by the Spritely Mr.Russel Ms. Arissa and Mr. Eric highlight on attentiveness,minimal order wait times and customer service in an ambient and intimate setting!. Lead server Mr. Alex will bring a warm smile and a passion in service to the table with his food and wine knowledge! His expertise in plate recommendations along with his conversation make the dining experience an exceptional and tantalizing joy!. Johnny and Mama Carrabba would be more than proud to know that they have such a high quality team in place in the Woodlands location!! Excellent!. Excellent! Excellent!. I highly recommend the Toscana pasta!!Exquisite taste!

Carrabba's contacted me and we returned for another visit and the service was top notch and will continue dining there.

Dinner at Carrabbas is always good! Dependable flavors and our server Alex was great! Very attentive and we had 2 birthdays to celebrate and he was so thoughtful to bring 2 deserts on the house! You can actually have conversations at your table without yelling. Nice ambiance.

10/10 would do again. Carrabba's has really improved over the last couple of months. Cleaner service. Food presentation has improved as well as the quality. Managers really have stepped up their game with communicating towards the customers and fixing issues on the spot. We saw all of the managers rely on each other and execute a busy night. Our server Sierra was amazing. She really went out of her way that night to assure us that she was still on top of our food coming out and our drinks being refilled. Without her we could have never had a good time. She brought charisma, laughs, and great service. 10/10 would do again just for her .

Today, October 27, 2025, was one of the most disappointing early-dinner dining experiences I've had in a very long time. The issues began before we even arrived--when I called to reserve a table for three, I had to repeat the time, occasion, and party size multiple times, yet the hostess still recorded the reservation incorrectly. Unfortunately, things only worsened upon arrival. Service was disorganized and concerning: our server openly stated that he was sick, yet continued handling and delivering drinks. Other staff members had unsecured long hair while serving food, and one waitress appeared visibly overheated and sweating as she brought dishes to tables. Our assigned waiter disappeared entirely during the meal and never once checked on us. The food quality was also noticeably subpar, especially when compared to the consistently better experience at the Carrabba's Champion Forest location. This was my first and will be my last visit to the Woodlands location. I would not recommend it to others.

The food was okay. Nothing that really blew us away. The meatballs and ricotta came out cold. Our server seemed a little annoyed and we felt rushed every time we he came to take talk to us. Would love to try this place at a later day.

Great portion size and DELICIOUS. Would recommended coming here to anyone. Service is awesome. Our server, Sienna is so personable and very attentive. Music selection was amazing, found myself singing along.

Brought the family here and had a great time. Waitstaff was quick and friendly. Fresh bread and olive oil was excellent. The herbs they use with the olive oil really enhance the flavor. I tried two soups the Italian sausage and lentil soup and my wife had the tomato soup and both were flavorful. Italian sausage and lentil soup with very hardy. It was almost a meal by itself. Mom had a salad which was basic but good. Main courses were excellent as well. Seafood was good and the scallops were not chewy, which is a plus for scallops. Big portions with lots of leftovers that were enough for a meal the next day. Highly recommend this place.

I did curbside the other day and it was so nice to be greeted outside by a smiling face. Crimson was a pleasure to deal with ! I love being able to take my dog to go out grab food with me. Crimson was So sweet to both of us. The food was good but the service was Outstanding! Baby and I will definitely be back!

If a customer orders the house chardonnay during happy hour and the restaurant is out of the house chardonnay, tell the customer that you're out. Don't bring them a bill that charges about $17.00, and then tell them that you were out. I was told my Dine Rewards was credited. I'll be checking for that, and I'll be back about this concern if it is not credited.

Had a great lunch with my mom at Carrabba's! Service is amazing and the place is quite spacious and clean. The tuscan grilled chicken was juicy and had a great charred/smoky flavor. Also loved the shrimp and scallops linguini! Very fresh and cooked to perfection.

Taylor, Maryland and Alex were extremely helpful and accommodating. I ordered To-go meatballs and sausages that were no longer being served since the Lunch menu was closed. Taylor and the staff figured out to complete my order so that I left happy. The bread at Carrabba's is soooo delicious! The iced tea is always strong and good. They exceeded my expectations! Eat there soon!!

Alex and Eric provided a great experience for my family and I. The food was great and we will certainly be back!

Alex is our amazing waiter! Caraba's has gone above and beyond with their new take on classic Italian dishes. The tiny cheese plate on top of my wine glass is my favorite! See you again soon Alex!

Cain provided excellent customer service! We will be back. He was very tentative to our request.

Food was Great! Got the bone in Tuscan Grilled pork chop and didn't disappoint, Alex provided great service with recommendations and taking care of the table.

Day and Brian are amazing bartenders! Great service and the food is always excellent!

I have been coming to this specific Carrabba's location since I was a kid and we have never had service as courteous, hospitable, and professional as Estevan has provided tonight! Estevan! Estevan! Estevan! Thank you for an impressive experience of dining and serving excellence! The food was great as always; mezzaluna, chicken bryan and classic chicken parm are our favorites.

I called a few days before to make a reservation for the Valentine day meal for 2 for 6:30 pm. The person confirmed my reservation. Well it came as a surprise when my wife, child, and I showed up on time, just to be told we were being put on a waiting list and had to wait over an hour to be seated. Unfortunately we could not wait and had to leave. If it was a waitlist, why they confirm the 6:30 appointment?

Good food, I was feeling under the weather but the overall flavor was pretty decent. I opted for a soup instead of a salad... and BOY HAVE I BEEN MISSING OUT!! The Mama's chicken soup -(unofficial name) was so flavorful and surprisingly delicious! Highly recommend!

Food was amazing! Chicken Trio did not disappoint... We sat at the bar because there was a 20-30min wait for a table. Bar service was a bit slow/chaotic but overall it was a good experience!

Food is great, got full fast again. Service is magnificent. The ambiance is just a bar and windows. It's very calming.

The food here is amazing and waiters are super friendly and helpful! Also the overall atmosphere is wonderful here! Definitely recommend!!

The food here is amazing and the waiters are super friendly and helpful! Also the lighting and overall atmosphere is wonderful here!!

Amazing food and service!! Really accommodating to my daughter's picky needs. Even when it's busy they take the time to take care of you and very fast at everything

Excellent service!! Excellent Food!! The waiter's and waitresses were all quick to respond to and to help out with anything!

It is really sad that you have changed your phone. Now when you call if someone is already on the phone all you receive is a message saying if you're here to order do it online otherwise call back later. After six times calling and getting that message, I called somewhere else.

Good food and good service. Alex was our server and he was great. Food came out quickly as well.

Everything was perfect and delicious. Total attention to detail with condiments and utensils. Food was excellent. So nice to enjoy!

I was seated and NEVER approached by a server the past 2 times I was there. Both times were during the slow time between lunch and dinner. Each time I walked out after waiting about 15 minutes.

Carrabba's is a Houston institution that spread its self a bit thin while growing. Tonight was just an example of the decline. We were seated quickly and given the option of a pre fixe 4 course menu or the regular menu. We opted for the latter. The menu has been redesigned and branded making a more generic appeal rather than the unique family recipes. We placed our order and again were approached with another special...for an additional $10 take another meal home and avoid cooking. Sounded great but we waited for our food before committing. The food however, did not inspire. My veal Marsala featured veal cutlets that weren't well pounded making for tough chews interwoven between the more tender and adequately treated pieces. The Marsala sauce itself was broken but tasty. More attention to the recipes and less attention to the gimmicks is in order.

I do not know how to feel about this place. Yes, service was as good as possible while short staffed. A sign is clearly posted on the front doors letting you know as such. Yes, they have several lunch specials with lunch sized portions to tantalize your taste buds. All in all, I did not have a negative experience by any means, but left feeling hollow. I didn't feel as though the food was made with any love whatsoever. Maybe I need to come at lunch time... Maybe I needed noodles in my shrimp scampi... Maybe I need to be pointed to the right dishes. All in all, an enjoyable environment with almost decent pricing. Stop by and make your own judgement call on the place.

great service by Alex and the food was quick and well made. always love coming here. chicken Brian delicious as always

Love the Italian food here, I like everything there and have never had a bad experience, the service is excellent and its ambience is good.

the car side to go service was excellent. Crimson took my order in the phone and made sure i got my food just the way I wanted it. I order triple breads for my soups and extra cheese on my eggplant parm. The eggplant was really great.

Carside service was Great!! Thank YOU so Much! Crimson did a great job! Recommend Highly

We went to Carrabbas tonight. The food was amazing - Chicken Marsala, Lentil soup, Fettuccine Alfredo, truffle fries. The service by Kain was wonderful. He really added to the great experience. We highly recommend this restaurant.

The shrimp was fresh, the cilantro rice was dead on and the black beans are amazing. I sat at the bar and it was great service.

Great soup. Just like my Grandmother used to make. Good size serving. Bread as always was delicious.
