Carbone’s Fine Fine Food and Wine to Close in January After Lawsuit | Eater Dallas

"The New York City export Carbone Dallas in the Design District prompted a trademark-infringement lawsuit from Barsotti this summer against Major Food Group, though the lawsuit was later withdrawn and the parties reached a resolution; Barsotti has said Carbone and Carbone’s are very different experientially but that the similarity of names was confusing. According to Barsotti's lawyer, Carbone Dallas and Major Food Group are 'assisting' Barsotti in opening his new Italian restaurant, and the companies' leaders have moved toward an amicable relationship after mediation." - Courtney E.
