What diners say — our read

The recurring subject in this corpus is the staff, not the food in general. Reviewers who mention front-of-house rate this place 4.8 on average — it is working in the restaurant’s favour.

The single most common rating left here is 5 stars (20 of 21). Of the 21 rated reviews, 20 sit at four stars or better and 0 at two or below. No one in this corpus comments on value for money at all.

On the inspection side the picture is cleaner: DBPR graded this kitchen an A (95/100), with 5 basic violations. Whatever the reviews argue about, sanitation is not the weak point. The visit behind that grade was March 3, 2026. Its inspection trajectory is downward over the records we hold. On health score it sits safer than 63% of the Seminole County restaurants we grade. For specifics, the last inspection cited floors, walls, ceilings clean & maintained.

With both signals pointing the same way, there is little to argue about on this listing. The reviews themselves follow, unedited and newest first.

    Eating here today was like being at a movie theater. The server hit the table with ads and upsells before even asking what we wanted to drink. After upsells we already declined she continued to ask throughout the meal if we had changed our minds. I want to come out to eat without so much advertising. A wine bottle ad A buy one take one home ad Another wine ad Good lord. I just need some iced tea and pasta.

    We recently celebrated our courthouse wedding with a dinner at Carrabba’s Italian Grill, and it could not have been a more perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcomed, but our server, Rick, truly made the evening unforgettable. He went above and beyond to help us celebrate such a special milestone in our lives. His kindness, attentiveness, and genuine excitement for us made the dinner feel much more than just a meal—it felt like a celebration surrounded by people who genuinely cared. Rick was exceptional throughout the entire evening, ensuring our friends and family were taken care of and helping create an atmosphere that was warm, joyful, and memorable. The food was wonderful, the service was outstanding, and the entire team helped make our wedding day even more special. Thank you to Rick and everyone at Carrabba’s for helping us celebrate our marriage and our love. We will always remember this dinner as an important part of our wedding day and are so grateful for the amazing experience. Highly recommend!

    Carrabas is one of the best Italian restaurants in Orlando. I love going to the Carrabas in Red Bug...service is great. The food is amazing. I truly enjoy the sangria and all the options they have available

    Came for an early dinner and our server, Khilel, was amazing! Very attentive, quick and helpful. My water was never empty, or sodas were refilled throughout the table and we always had bread to snack on while we waiting for our meal. The food was your standard fare. My husband’s steak was on the rare side when he asked for a medium. Khilel was quick to get to back and cooked to the right temp. On our next visit, we’re asking for him! Hands down. Great service.

    We came in with a large party and had incredible food and service. Shea and Kayli were fantastic and truly went out of their way to ensure everyone was taken care of. Thanks to everyone for a great dining experience.

    Okay, so, I've been coming to these wine tastings for at least 6 months now every month and I put these as priority on my schedule. I absolutely love the food and the service. Patrick and Michelle put a show and we are enchanted. They do raffle giveaways throughout and even though I haven’t won just yet I’m sure I will soon enough. Our servers are so nice and on top of providing the best service where we keep coming back and keep inviting our friends to join us. Shea has been outstanding along with Kaylee, Kaylianna, Hailee and Delaney. Thank you for hosting this and making it the most amazing wine dinner experience for us who love wine and bourbon
