    Service was a bit lacking on this occasion. Had to flag down the waiter a couple times. Due to medical issues, we could not have sugar sweetened drinks, and they had NO type of artificial sweeteners available. My Rigatoni Martoni was cooked well, but the sauce really was lacking in flavor. Not what we are used to at Carrabba's

    Me and my partner recently went to a cafe bad in Broward and we by far one of the best service and dining experiences we’ve had recently so good in fact we planed the next week to go again, closer to our home this time. After a long day of work we just wanted that same feeling and that feeling was taken away from us quickly. As soon as we arrived, the atmosphere was disorganized. Our server did not get to us until 15 minutes after we sat down. While we were going to order our food once he finally got to us, he kept repeatedly interrupting while we tried to speak our order and accepted our order of combo appetizer when all the items weren’t even available. Out server every 5 minutes kept talking about hose stressed he was and how sorry he was, which we were very understanding of at first, until he started making us feel stressed and took away the joy of our day. He kept forgetting what we ordered asking us the same question every couple of minutes about the order we had just spoken about. Would never come back to this location even tho we love the broward location. This was very disappointing as this is our closest location to home something we were looking forward to the whole week and was ruined and taken away from us the second we walked in the door.

    If I could have Ledy at every restaurant I would go to just in service it would always be a 5 star restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was cooked perfectly and with Leydi she made all of our drinks to perfection. My husband always asks for a Lemoncello and today he asked for 2 of them because they were delicious. Go during happy hour and the same great food but for a little less. Thank you Leydi!!

    I recently dined at Carrabba’s Italian Grill and had an excellent experience from start to finish. The moment we arrived, the warm and welcoming atmosphere made us feel like we were catching up with old friends—not just going out for dinner. The rustic decor and open kitchen added a cozy, authentic touch. The food was consistently delicious. We started with the shrimp scampi—succulent shrimp in a garlic and lemon-butter sauce that was flavorful without being overpowering. For the main course, I had the signature Chicken Bryan, and it did not disappoint: perfectly grilled, topped with tangy sun-dried tomatoes and creamy goat cheese, all balanced with a bright lemon-basil butter sauce. My dining partner opted for pasta, and the house-made sauce tasted rich and genuinely fresh. Dessert was the perfect ending: the tiramisu was light, airy, and satisfying without being too sweet. The wine selection and cocktails also complemented the meal beautifully. Service was another standout: our server was friendly, knew the menu well, and offered thoughtful recommendations. The pacing of the courses felt comfortable and well-timed. Overall, Carrabba’s delivered an authentic Italian-American dining experience with real heart. It’s a great spot for a cozy date night, a family dinner, or just when you’re craving reliable, home-style Italian food. Highly recommend and definitely returning!

    What used to be my go-to spot on the weekends is sadly losing its touch. First the one on flagler and now Miami Lakes. I came in to eat dinner on a Sunday night (10/26). I ordered the Filet Mingon with 2 sides of fettuccine alfredo and a cesar salad. The salad is great, they used to give a bigger portion but reasonable by today’s standards. The filet they gave me had more of a consistency of a meat loaf than a quality filet mingon. I ordered it medium rare and it came medium well. These I was able to overlook, what I could not accept was how small that steak was. Just a year ago I ordered this steak and it was huge it really looked like it was 9 oz. The steak they gave me looked like it was 6 oz. Not sure what changed from last year to now but you can’t skimp long term clients like this. It’s unacceptable to give such bad quality on one of your most expensive menu items. You are going to lose clients like this. I also miss when the sides of pasta was a plate of pasta, not a small petri dish of pasta. Shrinkflation at its finest. Cost goes up while portions and quality go down. If you want to keep clients and raise prices, at least raise the quality. I’m very disappointed with my last visit, and I’ll probably give this franchise one more chance before I decide to never return. This happened months ago with the Flagler location and I attribute it to the change of management there. I’m not sure what’s going on with Miami Lakes or if I just went on a bad day. I really hope it’s the second one. I was not going to leave this review but after thinking about it I don’t want to see Carrabba’s leave Miami like Romano’s Macaroni Grill did. I hope they see this feedback along with others and start working on it. If not, and this continues, I see Carrabba’s suffering the same fate Macaroni Grill did. Please improve - regular client for 15 years.
