My work was rewarding the staff by taking us out for dinner. First the waiter had a hard time getting drinks & starters to our table of four. Served over top of us & was not very good. Then my soup arrived and on the second spoonful I felt like I had cheese in my mouth. It turned out to... More

Service was terrific. No french fries - my 7 yr old wanted to leave. The server gave her alternatives and worked with her until they found something she liked. Food was excellent. Restaurant was clean. Priced fair for the portions. More

this particular one is not very good and the portions are unusually small. I think it might have to do with the fact that it is in such a touristy location. More

Our first time to Carrabba's. Our waitress gave us a little history of how the meals are prepared, only fresh products are used. The meal was excellent and just the right size. Not like other restaurants where your plates are over flowing. Highly recommend if you are in the Williamsburg area! More

My sons and I went here for lunch after shopping at the Yankee Candle shoppe next door. We shared pizza and salads and it was delicious. Brick oven pizza with a very authentic Italian taste. We also had some very tasty Mojitos...yummy! We will definitely return. More

We chose this restaurant because of the large number of people inside (figured it was good) and didn't realize it was a restaurant chain. We don't have Carrabba's on the West Coast. The wait was almost an hour, but we got our buzzer and went next door to the candle store. The time passed quickly. What a pleasant surprise we... More

The food is really good here. As a New Yorker who has been to a let of really good Italian restaurants, this was a pleasant surprise. I tried Carrabba's a couple years ago in Orlando with my family and it was good. My daughters remembered it and when we saw it in Williamsburg, they wanted to check it out. Definitely... More

We eat dinner at this restaurant 10 times a year when visiting Williamsburg. This is a formula/franchise restaurant but it feels like a family owned grill. The food and staff are exceptional and they go out of their way to make sure you're happy. I like the chicken dishes and my wife normally get's Pasta Weesy. My children gravitate to... More

One of the better Italian chains in Williamsburg. There are a number of other good local options for Italian, but if you want a good stand by (or are on that side of town), then is a fine choice. More

Although I love Italian food, I haven't found any good Italian food in chain restaurants. However, I really liked the Pasta Carabba - a nice tagliatelli with a light alfredo sauce with grilled chicken and peas and mushrooms. The pasta tasted homemade and the sauce was very good - not that thick pasty alfredo sauce I've had in other places.... More
