Italian dishes, cocktails, and wine in a buzzy setting
"Yes, Carbone is a transplant, but that’s sort of the appeal: in a city that often tries to be likeNew York, you can go full Manhattan caricature for a night at this Italian spot. Trendy-blazer, ripped-jeans clout chasers come here for a splurge, celebrating job promotions and anniversaries, when they’re probably just happier about being seen out drinking a martini. Even if you don’t care about being spotted, you’ll still have a dependable, upscale meal—the attentive service is quick to wipe away any misplaced parmesan and the tableside caesar salad and spicy rigatoni continue to be great." - Team Infatuation
"Italian. Done. Right. Jules Barsotti grabbed this corner space in the Shops at Highland Park and packaged this very light, deli / market look with killer tile, natural light, an open kitchen and let the cool ooze of Italian food / wine packaging fill in the blanks. But, as far as filling your stomach? Everything is really good. Killer meatball sammies. Delicious bruschetta. Incredible pastas. Fried raviolis. Light but wonderful salads. Wine? Yes. Glass or bottle? Your call." - Switch
"All the classic red sauce options are available at this Dallas outpost from Mario Carbone, but there are some adventurous options also. Try the trio of prosciutto with freshly-made mozzarella, the ink squid ravioli with lobster both inside the pasta and in the sauce, and save room for the lemony cheesecake. Lucky diners will find themselves in the opera booths that line one wall to eavesdrop on the tables in front of them (we strongly suggest requesting one on your reservation to up the drama of the night)." - Courtney E. Smith
"The South Beach location of the incredibly popular red-sauce-focused restaurant serves up the same high-end takes on classic Italian-American dishes that its New York City counterpart has since 2012, like its famous spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce, the Caesar salad “alla ZZ” that is prepared table-side; veal chop parmesan; and more — alongside some serious old school vibes, potent cocktails, and plenty of people watching." - Eater Staff
