When we moved to Gainesville, we were desperately trying to find a place with wine tastings with menu pairing. We finally found it super close to home, at Carrabba’s. I recommend the experience to everybody, amazing food and wine. Even if you are by yourself, you get to sit with other people and have a good time.

Located off Archer in the Enson plaza, this Carrabba’s was a pleasant surprise for happy hour. Happy hour is daily from 4-7 and it says at the bar only but we were able to sit where we wanted. The happy hour drinks were tasty and strong and at $8 each that’s a bargain. The fennel sausage arancini was fried crispy perfection. The Mezzaluna fritte was fried nicely but could use some more filling. Meatball sliders were tender and savory. Last the caprese with fresh burrata was so fresh and refreshing. Our server was friendly and attentive. Restaurant is large but can still seem intimate. Also side note, the music is such a vibe there!! Will definitely be back when in the area looking for Italian.

Food was made to our request.
Left overs were enjoyable too.
Take a look at these pics.
Lost 1 star in atmosphere since I’m looking for a handless exit to restrooms.
I also noticed that the location of the papertowl dispenser is blocked if there is a person using the right wash sink. Could be better spaced.

Entirely WAY too long for our appetizers & food. Literally! My calamari was definitely overcooked, hated it. My entree was really good! Thank God! I had the short rib, I love short rib.. So I was happy about that, the chicken fettuccine Alfredo was delicious as well

Carrabba’s Wine Dinners are the perfect girl’s night out! I’ve been to several now, and each one is a delicious varied menu with great pairings. The $10 tar home meal is always the best surprise for my husband!

This was my husband’s and my first visit to Carrabba’s, and unfortunately, the experience did not meet expectations. The wait to be seated was longer than expected, and once at our table, the service was lacking. Our server, Emily, did not communicate effectively about delays in the kitchen, and it took multiple requests to receive a lemonade refill. We also did not receive any refills on water, despite noticing our server waiting nearby. While the food itself was enjoyable, the overall service and lack of communication were disappointing. With better attentiveness and clearer communication, the dining experience could have been much better.

We had the Valentine’s Day special at Carrabba’s Italian Grill last night and it was so delicious! But if anything could have topped the food, it would have been our server, Matt. He was attentive and kind and didn’t miss a beat. We will definitely be back soon and hopefully Matt will be there for us again. We also spoke to the manager Paula, and she was so friendly and encouraging. We chatted with her because we were so impressed with the entire evening. Also grateful for the economic take home meals. They are as good tonight as our food was last night. Great job, Carrabba’s and crew. See you soon!

I wrote a review about a year or year and half ago about the bad experience my family and our track team had. The service was horrible and chatoic, and the food was just okay. Not the level you would expect from Carrabba’s standards. We visited this location again with our teammate and her family on Saturday, Jan. 31 at around 6/7:30.This was the BEST experience we have ever had at Carrabba’s! The food was hot, fresh and delicious! Our server Shannon C was AMAZING! She was very sweet and efficient. She kept checking on us to refill our drinks and if we needed anything. This is the Carrabba’s we know and love! Job well done!!!

This was our first time here. Food was amazing and prices were very reasonable my opinion 100% better than Olive Garden staff and servers were very friendly. And we got the Tiramisu for dessert omg it was the best better than any other. We will definitely be back planning to have my birthday dinner there in the next month. We’ve definitely found our go to place for lunch and dinner

Went here for a romantic dinner with my beautiful girlfriend. The food was fantastic and our waiter was never sleeping on the bread. Unfortunately the lights were really bright in the section of the restaurant we were in so the ambiance was a bit off but it allowed me to see more of my beautiful girlfriend’s face. I liked that we could see into the kitchen from the dining room, made me feel like I was part of the action.
