Carrabba's in the early afternoon on Sunday..awesome..not crowded..which gave our server Cody more time to just be there and do all he could to make our meal enjoyable and was great about checking in us without being overbearing... food started with my favorite the bread and olive oil with seasoning..delicious" hot fresh..and came out quickly..drinks ordered and easy to place..( The bar didn't have a couple simple liquors but no fault of our server and what we had was still tasty. .. rum & coke and a White Russian. Tasty.. we started with a couple apps. The medley mix.." stuffed mushrooms *yum" the mozzarella sticks with marinara and calamari with marinara. All delicious...2nd app was the caprese salad..mozzarella with baby tomatoes: fresh basil and a drizzle ( which I could had enjoyed more of..very tasty) then after that we enjoyed along with out bread delicious salads. Mine a Ceasar Salad. The 2nd a regular salad with ranch Parmisian dressing..I thought tasted great..and then lastly our delicious entre.. lobster ravioli..delicious " what made it better. Was nothing was rushed and sitting at the table all done at once. Thank you to the kitchen and definitely our server Cody..also a great perk was having a DINE account" which is for the sibling restaurants as well..an opportunity to earn freebies or money off. I had the nice privilege of having a $10 dollar off meal coupon.. that was nice and earned more for out next dinner out... the bathrooms were clean " stocked and it was a nice quiet repreve from moat visits where it's loud and can be hectic... service A+ ..food great..and account opportunities nice..as well as having plenty to take back and enjoy later..which I did.. thank you for a nice experience I'll definitely be back ..and to the server..it was made nice because of the great service.. I'd highly recommend checking them out and go when it's not so busy..you'll thank yourself and enjoy...
Read moreOkay so I have to say that the hubs & I had one of the absolute best dining experiences we've EVER HAD all due to an incredible young man named Caiden Raphael Fernando aka Caiden Fernando Raphael OR CFR aka CRF hahaha when you ask for him make sure to ask for him by this name & you'll be sure to not only get a great big smile but I bechya dollar's to donuts he'll give you even better service than he gave us (if this is possible😁😉)! And the food was great too!! Honestly this is not your Carrabas from 20yrs ago! Ok I ordered the scrimp and scallop alla vodka linguine dish extra meat & the hubs ordered now I actually don't know, it was scallops in a lemon garlic sauce w/pepper and angel hair pasta (I know I'm butchering this however I'm unable to ask the hubs what he had sorry). He loved what he order and of course I did too. We also had the towering breadsticks & this was because the bread they gave was not that good (this is our only real complaint)... the breadsticks are yummy yum yummerz!! At the end we wanted to tell manager Stephen about Caiden Raphael Fernando & even he was very nice, very informative, & overall super friendly. We are full timers here & to have such a great experience like this will definitely keep bringing us back, & I hope after reading this review you'll check this location out. REMEMBER TO ASK FOR CAIDEN FERNANDO RAPHAEL 😁😅🤣😂 I think he said he works Wednesday Friday's and Saturdays but call to make sure😊 tnx for reading this & many blessings... oh the reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere was bcuz of music... there would be this really great appropriate jazz and then a really out of place Eurythmics or Adele song came on that straight up ruined vibe just a...
Read moreCarabbas on Bonita Beach Road in Bonita is amazing and open till 11PM. The food was fantastic as was the service! It’s absolutely a place to add to your short list rotation, as service and food quality were top notch!
I ordered the Veal Marsala, paired with a side-salad with house-made creamy Parmesan dressing on the side which was excellent. The fettuccini tasted very fresh, hand tossed generously with Alfredo sauce and was very good. My husband had the lasagna, which was also very fresh and house-made with a very generous portion. We didn’t have dessert, but from the looks of it they’ve added some new options.
We went late tonight to avoid seasonal waiting, but I must say the service was impeccable, although every place lately is short staffed. We were pleasantly greeted by Steven which promptly seated us with enthusiasm and very welcoming. I was impressed, because he was the manager and in the trenches waiting tables and delivering food. Caiden was our waiter, his pacing was flawless, as was his service start to finish. This location is well managed and just recently changed hands. The dining-room just got major upgrades, as they removed the carpet, modernized the booths, upgraded the partitions and changed out the tables/chairs. It’s clean and the new floors look amazing, certainly not at all dark like it was before. ALSO—-for those that may need it - We also learned they have a private dining room that can accommodate a party of 50 - perfect for parties or larger gatherings. Definitely will recommend for anniversary gatherings, graduations or birthdays! There seems to be a shortage of party spaces in the area, so this may certainly a...
