Carrabba's Italian Grill, Bradenton

Um I work for Carrabbas on Cortez as a hostess & know for a fact that NOTHING comes packaged and is heated upon order. Our kitchen staff starts out @ 9 in the morning to prepare the food when we don t even open til 3. I m sorry you had a bad experience at our restaurant but unless you know what your talking about just don t talk.

You have go to be kidding? Did you just get out of prison? When they say hand prepared that means someone had to take the warmed up pre packaged food and put it on a plate.....the last time I was there the calimari was so soggy you could not eat it.....the pasta dish was bland.....the prisoners would riot if you served this garbage

When I visit family in Bradenton, it is a given that we will go to Carrabba's! The mussels (cozze in bianco) are THE BEST ANYWHERE! Everything is delicious. Yes...its crowded and there are times when the wait was long, but it's so worth it. The ONLY thing I would change is the music.

Great food. I really love the whole wheat pasta option. Healthy but lets you think you a cheating. LOL

really? there's a carraba's everywhere, people! why not try for something that's run by a real mom and pop?? the wait is forever and there's a great italian restaurant that is right down the road that you never have to wait in line for-caragiulos is highly recommended in my book!!

I reccomend this spot for authentic Italian cuisine, polite service, and a cozy atmosphere. Chicken Marsala, bread, and Ceasar salad are delicious!

We live in the neighborhood & have been eating here for 5 years. Visit at least once a week, but I would eat dinner in this spot every night if I could. Have enjoyed excellent service & food every single time. Calamari is the best I've had anywhere. Enjoy!

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is excellent

Love the food, spicier than Olive Garden. Great service also! Chocolate martini is awesome!

My favorite chain Italian restaurant. I have to recommend the Filet Spedino which is not on the menu but they will make it for you. Its a filet mignon with 2 shrimp and scallops in a great sauce. It comes with 2 sides and makes a great meal. The olive oil for dipping the bread is also a great addition to the meal. They are usually very busy and tables are hard to come by. Try to call in your order and pick it up to go if you dont feel like waiting for a table.
