Carrabba's Italian Grill — Restaurant in Orlando

I anticipated an enjoyable meal during my first-ever visit to this location, but I received a totally superb 'dining experience', even as a solo customer seated at the bar. Bartender/server, Phillip, was on his game in every way imaginable, and truly was the highlight of the evening visit. The menu suggestions and response to questions was great, and I was made to feel very welcome throughout. Big kudos to the chefs who prepared several items to Perfection. It is VERY easy to recommend this restaurant, and I certainly will return. First visit was on a whim, but now I know I WANT to go. (December 2021 UPDATE) I continue to be very impressed with the restaurant. Great food and service. It can be a bit challenging to access restaurant from the main roads, but it is SO worth it once there. Thanks! (January 2025 Update) Five friends gathering on a Sunday afternoon with only two goals: Catch up on things after the holidays and have a tasty/relaxing meal while doing so. Both goals were easily accomplished with the second half of that provided by our wonderful server Michelle G. She was basically Perfection and we enjoyed the personality as well as the great menu tips. Our group can occasionally be high maintenance, and Michelle just went with it all. We each got different main meals, and my choice (with suggestion by Michelle as well) was the seasonal Rigatoni Al Forno w/ Sausage. That was A LOT of meal in the bowl and definitely matched the description of "cheesy". It was quite delicious. I'd hoped to save room for trying a dessert (which I normally skip) but that just wasn't gonna happen. The meal was extremely filling. I don't think anyone could/should complain about the portion size. Thanks, Carrabba's, and thanks again, Michelle, for a great dining experience. We will certainly be returning based to...

Review of Carrabba's Italian Grill - Server Noel at Vineland Road Location

Our recent dining experience at Carrabba's Italian Grill on Vineland Road was notably enhanced by the exceptional service we received from Server Noel. My wife Tashy, our friend Jasem and his mother, and I were immediately impressed by her warm and welcoming demeanor.

From the moment Noel seated us, her genuine smile and friendly approach set a positive tone for the evening. She demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the menu, confidently answering our questions and offering tailored recommendations based on our preferences. This personalized attention made us feel particularly valued as customers.

Noel's service was a perfect blend of efficiency and warmth. She took our orders promptly and ensured that our meals were served without delay, all while maintaining a high level of attentiveness to our needs. Our glasses were never empty, and we had everything we needed throughout our meal, yet her presence never felt intrusive.

What truly distinguished Noel's service was her affability and genuine kindness. She engaged with us in light-hearted conversation, showing interest in our evening without overstepping. This level of care and attention made our dining experience feel special and memorable.

In conclusion, Noel's outstanding service at Carrabba's on Vineland Road deserves high praise. Her ability to balance professionalism with a personal touch made our meal enjoyable and relaxing.

First and foremost I want to take a moment to thank Michelle. She usually works Monday and Tuesday but this week she worked Wednesday and Thursday which was perfect because I would have never had her as a waitress otherwise. She really took the time out to make sure that we were taken care of and that we got the best deal possible. She went above and beyond. That is to say the lease. The food could have been terrible with service like that and I would still come back 🤣 but Also don’t get me started on the food. It was very good as well. We got the “buy. One entrée and then take one entrée home for $10. If you do the math, this is literally unbeatable, especially for the quality of food that you’re getting. Nowhere else in the world, will let you take a steak with sides home for $10 period!! But somehow, this place has figured out a way to do it lol. This facility was very clean, and the service from everyone was outstanding. Multiple friends kept telling me to try Carrabba’s out and I’ve learned that they are also affiliated with another facility that I love that’s called outback steakhouse. I will definitely continue to support and eat at these Establishments. Thank you for the good service and good food! I 100% recommend and I will 100% be back!

P.s this just came to my mind, a lot of times when you go to an establishment within the hour of closing, they will treat you like they don’t want to deal with you, but that was not the case here. When I told her, I was sorry for coming in so late she said “do not worry about it. I will be here for a while. You take your time.” And that is something else that really shined out to me that I wanted...
