Love this place. The wine list, the food, etc. is always up to par and excellent. It was my favorite place in Chicago and now in the Kansas City area as well.

It was our first time at Carrabba's and we were impressed. Very good food and the service was pretty quick. Our waitress was friendly, very familiar with the menu and answered all our questions about the food. We enjoyed our meal and would definitely return when in the area.

Food was good, wine was even better! Nice selection of pastas wih all different sauces. You can add chicken, shrimp to anything as well. It's a nice date night place - except for the 2 screaming children in the booth behind us....

Carrabba's is a good place to get your fix of Italian food, a lot of great choices. It is not gourmet Italian but it is well above all the other fast food Italian places. The sea food is only so so , I would recommend to stick with chicken and pasta dishes. I come back here pretty often , I... More

They have dedicated parking places and a waiter that brings the excellent Italian cuisine to your car. A well varied choices with great salads, pasta and meat choices. I love their veal dishes because it is hard to find. Caesar dressing is to die for. They think of everything including olive oil and seasoning for bread dipping. You have to... More

This is our favorite restaurant! We have been there many times and never heard anyone complain about the food. We've taken family and friends with us, and all have been pleased. My husband always gets the pomegranate martini, and the blackberry Sangria is always good. The pasta, pizza, and grilled food are all tasty as well. Try the sausage and... More

We had a private Christmas party there, at a noon, on a day that they don't normally open for noon. We had a waitress and a waiter that were excellent, very attentive, and friendly and helpful. The salmon I had was also cooked "just right", and the portion was so large that I decided to take half of it home... More

We try travel over 100 miles to get to Independence every couple of months or so to enjoy Carrabba's Italian Grill. This establishment always meets our expectations. The service is usually very good and the servers are very accommodating. They let us make substitutions on the menu and seem happy to do so. Very good, authentic Pomodoro Sauce, Sausage Lentil...
