Carrabba’s

Stayed at the Marriott and came here one night for pizza (the inside restaurant). We sat at the bar. It was delicious, sauce tasted great and had a thin, crispy crust. They also had happy hour and half off appetizers from 4 – 7! Appetizers were great and good portions. Best deal in town that we found! Came here again the next day for apps and drinks (after we found out that prices were higher and the half off app deal isn’t offered at the outside/​beach side part)

As my coworkers and I are traveling a lot, we have our hotel in miami beach.
Every Evening after a hard day of work we go to Carrabba’s Pool Bar to have some Bear or Wine and nice Fingerfood. (Happy Hour)
The Staff is always very carring and knows already our needs. Especially for us europeans.
I cant write anything about the regular Restaurant, as we always stay at the pool as we like to see the sea while having a drink.
To Eat u get a lot of finger foods and Salads at the Poolbar. I always eat the Chickenwings. They are nice spice and the dip is delicious too. My coworker tried the other dishes and there was nothing to complain about the taste or the quality.
Would always come back again.

Carrabba’s use to be amazing when it first started. Presently the foods quality has dropped and became way over priced.

Staying at the Marriott where the Carraba’s was located, so we decided to check it out after a long first day.
Note: Noise
The spot was relatively noisy for a place that wasn’t fully attended. The chef and his cooking staff were quite boisterous and even in the back where we decided to sit, we noticed that the noise carried quite well. I didn’t mind that much, but for some people it might throw off the dinner experience.
Note: Food
Wasn’t sure what to make of my food at Carrabba’s — it was tasty and simple. They definitely didn’t pack the plate as expected, but I can’t complain about my Tuscan-​Grilled Chicken. Having six individual pieces of grilled asparagus left much to be desired from a side though!

The waiter was great. Food is always delish. Got the italian classic. Very good size and price is awesome… Cant go wrong here

Everything was absolutely delicious. However main course did take a while to come out. «Italian Classic» is a must try!

This was right across from our hotel — and not being too hungry, we decided to stop by carabas for a quick dinner. We were promptly seated in a booth near the bar. Our waiter quickly greeted us and took our drink order. He was nice and helpful when asked about customizing dishes. We ordered wine, which tasted like it was a open for a few days, peach sangria, which my girlfriend loved, the Italian chicken wings, which didn’t have much meat but lots of amazing flavor!, and split a chicken parm with salad and fettuccini Alfredo. Our waiter had the kitchen equally split our entire order so as the salad and main entrees came out, they were already split for us which was a nice touch. The chicken parm was a little burned but ok flavor. Same with the pasta. Nothing to really write home about. The service was good and the food wasn’t bad at all. Would go back for a quick meal.

We had a great expierence at the Miami Beach Carrabbas on collins street. We have ate at several when in Florida and this was the best. Walked right in and was seated right away Sunday night. Our server Tony was very friendly and made us laugh and was very helpful with choosing a wine and our meal selections. Thanks Tony for recommending the lobster raviolii! Tony was very attentive to our needs and checked on us at just the right times to see if we needed anything. I would recommend eating here if you are in the area. Very nice and friendly people who really seem to enjoy their jobs and treat people with love and kindness. This is a rare thing these days.

We had lost some faith in them after a bad experience but wanted to try again, boy am I happy we did!
Our waiter was a young man I believe Stefan and he was amazing! So helpful attentive and our drinks were never empty.
Food was great as well they have changed around the menu and for someone indecisive like myself it was a great option to have combo choices.
We left there feeling happy and full, can’t wait to go again!

This one is like any other. The food is just OK. Nothing great.
You know what the food is like before you enter.
This place was close to our hotel and it is affordable.
The service was unique. Our waiter tried…

Hello fellow Unilocalers, after a long day at the beach we decided to eat at Carabbas on the beach, like we usually do. Well, I can tell you this is the second time in a row that Ive gone and we had an issue with the service and food. Ill make a list to make it easier to swallow.
1. Service was slow.
2. Food took a long time
3. Order was wrong, food was just ok
4. Not enough food was served
5. Place smelled dingy
Yes they corrected the damage but regardless it leaves a bad taste in your mouth, literally! Obviously this has become a tourist trap where UN-​dersized portions, which at an Italian restaurant is unheard of, has become the norm. Plus, they add the gratuity to the bill, which in a way I can understand when dealing with tourist, but still, not in good taste. Anyways, if you’re a local stay away. Find another Carabba’s. Don’t waste your time. Take Care.

Heartbreakingly crappy slow service in an uncrowded restaurant serving crappy chain food.

my wife and I had another wonderful dinner at Carrabbas for our 16^th wedding anniversary, the server was great. His name was Anthony
Anthony made our night. I could not believe he was the new staff. He had knowledge of the menu and the best recommendation for us. He made it wonderful. Be blessed Anthony Carrabbas is blessed you to have you as an employee.

Came here for takeout and didn’t realize that the person that took our order placed a tip of 15% tip without our permission. Got our order, they said everything was in there, realized that they actually forgot to place the ravioli my husband ordered. They also didn’t mention they didn’t provide us spoons. They said they ran out of spoons on a Saturday night!
Hate to admit that their spaghetti was actually pretty good– but I will never ever return here on principle.

The restaurant was right next to our hotel so we walked into a strong odor of parmesan cheese place. It was around 9.30pm and the service was extremely slow, our drinks came after 30 mins even though we saw them ready by the bar. Food was okay, we got butter pasta, ravioli and fish. i enjoyed my peach sangria very much.

A good happy hour if you sit at the bar! A very relaxed environment in this chain restaurant that is located in the heart of Miami Beach. It feels a bit corporate but you can’t go wrong with the dishes. The service is really on point and ready to serve.
Try the mussels on the appetizer menu — You will not be disappointed.

Cardápio simples mas atende bem quando se quer lanches ou apenas um tira gosto à beira mar .
Ótimo para um happy hour.

I’ve been coming to this carrabas for quite sometime now whenever I’m in the beach area. I had to deal with a bit of a discrepancy with one of the employees but the manager Jason dealt with us in a very professional manner and knew exactly what to say and do to take care of the issue. I felt he deserved an honorary mention. The food is always tasty here so I will be returning.

OMG, a little slice of heaven. This was my first time at any Carrabba’s. The aroma in the air puts a smile on your face. The service was exceptional and the food was mmmmm mmmm gooood. I had the Shrimp Diavolo for my appetizer. Oh my God I could have licked that plate clean. It was sooo good. I give it 8.5 stars. (The Bang Bang Shrimp at Bonefish Grill gets 10 stars). Then I had the Lobster Mac & Cheese for my appetizer. Jesus take the wheel! The combination of those two dishes. smh…my my my… if I wasn’t so full I would have left doing cartwheels.
My hubby ordered the mozarella sticks for his appetizer and the Chicken Parmesean for his Entrée. Both amazingly delicious; cooked to perfection. No complaints. Everything was perfect. We look forward to visiting again.

I always see commercials for Carrabba’s and get so sad because there isn’t one in Pittsburgh, so I had to visit while I was in Miami!
I was only going to give 3 stars, but the customer service of Rafael was superb! From the moment we sat down until the moment we left he made us feel like we were old friends. He was extremely attentive and helpful!
As far as our food and drinks… I had the Toast of Tuscany which was light and refreshing and at $ 5 a glass it was a no brainer.
I ordered a salad and lobster mac and cheese. I wanted ranch instead of Caesar dressing — but no ranch, at all, in the restaurant. Okay… My friend wanted the Tomatoes Caprese, but they were all out. But they could make the Margherita pizza, which is essentially the same thing. So we were very confused as to why they were «out» of the appetizer. The actual food though was amazing! The lobster mac and cheese was the best. It wasn’t a traditional Mac and cheese which I loved. It had large chunks of lobster and huge gobs of cheese. So. Delicious!
The only thing I realized after is that we didn’t get bread and oil like many of the other reviews stated were complimentary. Maybe they were «out» of that too. Hopefully they come to Pittsburgh so I can taste this bread!

Located on the first floor of the Marriott Courtyard, this location was convenient for us to walk to. We ordered two entrees, husband got the Pollo La Scala with fettuccine alfredo ($ 1.50 extra for the Alfredo pasta) and I got the Pollo Rosa Maria with garlic mashed potatoes. We sat inside not knowing that we could have sat outside by the pool area (what a bummer!!) but sat next to the window facing the pool area. Our server Eric was good and brought is a basket of warm bread and olive oil with herbs, which was delish.
Our entrees took around 20 minutes to arrive and we were not disappointed. Husband finished his entrée but my entrée was fairly big and I could not finish mine. While we waited for the check I was browsing the internet for carraba’s deals and came across a $ 8 off entire order, if 2 entrees are ordered (
). We asked Eric and he said we could use the coupon. Score! We have seen in Miami that a 15% tip is added when the check is brought out. We added some more since Eric honored the coupon and we enjoyed our meals.
All in all an enjoyable experience and we’ll definitely try this chain again.
