Really not much to brag about. The food was mediocre at best. The service…meh. The waitress decided to argue with her fellow employee over whose table it was. Something that could have definitely been solved elsewhere. The manager delivered our food and was very nice. The hostesses were too busy chatting instead of cleaning up the floor directly in front of them We will probably go back to Short Pump even though this one is closer. Sorry, clean up your act!

I ordered the sirloin to go. It was a quick turnaround, but it was the chewiest, toughest steak I’ve had in a while. Couldn’t finish it. Would not recommend for $27.

Carrabba 's is one of my favorite restaurants, but this visit was disappointing. We ordered the calamari for the appetizer. It was delivered quickly, however the Ricardo sauce had skin on top...tells me that it 's unlikely that was freshly made. We had to ask for plates for the bread, and the person who brought them to us basically palmed them, which I found to be unsanitary...sorry, but I don 't want your palm touching the plate I 'm about to put my food on. Fettuccine Weezie is my favorite dish, but this time it was bland and the mushrooms were cold. This was my first, and most likely last, visit to this Carrabba 's location.

One of my favorite spots in fredercksburg. The facility is clean, staff is polite and efficient. They make me feel important, which in my mind is very important. Our server Venaia was perfect! Couldn't have asked for better service. The manager Ava stopped by our table to ask how things were. That was also impressive.

I took my dad there for his 85th birthday. This place didn't disappointment. The food and the atmosphere were great. I have got to mention our server her name is Jenaia. She was excellent to the point that she is the best server that I've had in a long long time. Jenaia took great care of us and made my dad's birthday special. I will definitely be back.

Carrabba's presents a culinary experience marked by both highs and lows. While some patrons rave about the exceptional service and authentic homemade pasta, others find fault with certain dishes, noting tough calamari and chewy steaks that did not meet expectations. The atmosphere is inviting, with a pleasant ambiance reminiscent of Little Italy. However, portion sizes and pricing spark mixed reactions. Signature items, like the Chicken Trio and garlic mashed potatoes, receive accolades, while inconsistency in seasoning leaves some diners unsatisfied. Overall, Carrabba's offers a varied dining experience that may delight some and disappoint others.

Excellent service and eat! they use homemade pasta that makes eating so much more authentic. also the presentation of the food was great. sangria was very good and not watered. hot fresh bread with oil and seasoning is served when they sit. the opportunity to go online and wait for the 6 of us got us a table in less than 10 minutes when there was a waiting zone full of people.

My family and I came out to Carrabba's earlier this week and had Kristy as our bartender/server. We can't say enough how great of service she provided from the time we sat down until the time we left. We were pleased by how great our food was- it came out hot in a timely manner. We will definitely be coming back!!

Worth water! we said there was a 45-minute waiting time. but there were only 23 minutes that gave us time to sit and enjoy a cocktail and watch over the menu. kevin and kristy were our server and they could not have been more polite and accommodating! our highest compliments to the kitchen staff, since everything we ordered was delicious! what a great staff in the carrabba in fredericksburg! we visited new jersey and we will be back to this restaurant for specific!

I have been here twice. I have had better Italian food elsewhere, so it’s nothing super extraordinary here. But service was super! Our server, Kevin, came to check-in with us multiple times. I think it was kind of pricey for 3 people to pay $100 for a meal.

We got dinner at Carrabba's here in Fredericksburg; pasta is my hubby's favorite dish! And we were celebrating his birthday! We used to frequently dine at the Carrabba's in Fairfax, when we lived in Northern Virginia, but this was our first time at this location. Naturally we rarely eat pasta anymore, with it only (normally) being on special occasions. My husband ordered the Spaghetti Carbonara with no shrimp, but double chicken. He got the sausage lentil soup with his entree. I ordered the Pollo Rosa Maria, which is wood grilled chicken, stuffed with fontina cheese and prosciutto, topped with mushrooms, and a lemon basil butter sauce with a side of fettuccine Alfredo. I also got a garden salad with balsamic vinaigrette. For dessert we ordered a pumpkin spice bread pudding to split. It was pumpkin custard-soaked brioche bread, topped with vanilla ice cream, and drizzled with salted caramel sauce. Everything was amazing! The bread was hot, the soup was hot, the vegetables in the salad were fresh. My Pollo Rosa Maria was heavenly. Restaurant was clean. And our service from Mackenzie was terrific! We have so much leftover! We got a second Pollo Rosa Maria to go for just $10! So dinner here tomorrow; possibly enough for the next day too! Next time we won't wait so long to go back.

This place has been one of my favorite places in Fredericksburg so when I spend $8.49 on fettuccine Alfredo and get enough to fill a Dixie cup I 'm shocked. I wish that I 'd have gotten a picture of the rest of our food. The meatballs and ricotta consisted of two tiny meatballs. The Mezzulana was $23. and it wasn 't enough to feed a toddler like five pieces of pasta. The Chocolate Dream cake was 1/4 the normal sized piece. I just don 't get it. I usually love this restaurant.

Hubby and I went for a late lunch. Split the lasagna so we could have dessert . Shoutout to our server Jayla G!!!!! She was the best server ever! So polite, friendly and knowledgeable! Definitely an asset to Carrabba's!

I like the lighting in here. It's spacious inside and smells like little Italy. Our waitress was soooo good! She was cheery, helpful and just the right amount of check-ins. Food was great and served very warm.

We came in on a Saturday night for dinner. My husband had shrimp and scallop al last vodka. I had Steak Marcella. My steak came out over done and without the Marcella sauce. MacKenzie our waitress was phenomenal. She had the manager come out, they made a new plate and she brought it out and with all the fixings. Bread and seasoning and was thoughtful enough to bring out mashed potatoes instead of fries (I had mentioned it earlier) because it would heat up better. Can't ask for any thing more than this.

The Short Rib Marsala is back! It was cooked perfectly and had plenty of meat. It was definitely worth the price. The Meatballs Ricotta were also really delicious.

The Calamari was tough and served cold, while the Sauteed Spinach portion was disappointingly small given the price of $5.99. Overall, I was very unsatisfied with my experience at this restaurant.

No silverware. Forget an extra side. Alfredo sauce is thinner then water. 10/10 do not recommend.

I absolutely loved the Fettuccine Weesie! As someone who is very particular about food, this dish was exactly what I was looking for. The bread served was also delicious. I was a bit hesitant about the bread dippers, though. The cheese dipper was great, but the others didn't quite hit the mark for me.

Absolutely amazing as always! Chicken Trio is a must. Garlic mashed potatoes are always the bomb. Kids Chicken Fingers are literally the best and they are super happy. I order here all the time and its always so good

Fantastic place! Never had a bad dish, have only had one bad experience but the manager made up for it by buying our meal and adding appetizers AND dessert. We've been going for years and will continue to keep going back.

We’ve been coming to Carrabba’s since it opened years ago and have never had a bad meal. We are always greeted promptly, the wait staff is always on point. Neil is our favorite server. He makes my Grey Goose Martini perfectly every time! The food is always brought out piping hot (as it should be) and their pizzas are the best when you want something light. Keep up the great work!
