"The cool kids might still go to Carbone in South Beach, but their parents have claimed Carbone Vino as the reservation to brag about during mid-aisle conversations at Milam’s. The back lounge is where Carlos and Inelis go to drink fine wine, eat arancini, and run into their daughter’s friend (whose date couldn’t get a reservation). In the main room, men living out Scorsese fantasies cheek-kiss, exchange grippy handshakes, and are grateful they can feel like they’re 25 again without having to cross the Causeways. A Rolex that needs more links A $14,000 DRC no one will ever order The lounge and bar are for walk-ins Reservations go live on Resy 30 days in advance at 10am. Weekday tables are easy to find. On Saturdays, it’s hard to find something that’s not 5pm or 10pm. Unlike the South Beach Carbone, you can try to walk in. While you wait, you can hang out in their back lounge, where you can drink a martini and eat arancini." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, julia malave
