Score
Carrabba's Italian Grill has been inspected 10 times since 2022. The latest inspection on file is from Mar 4, 2026. A medium risk score generally means inspectors found things to fix, though most weren't urgent.
There hasn't been much movement either way: counts have stayed near six violations per visit across recent inspections.
When inspectors have written things up, “multiple cutting boards have cut marks” has been the most frequent reason, cited five times.
That's lower than the typical Florida restaurant, which scores around 72. Nothing in the record is alarming, but there's room to improve.
