Carbone Hong Kong

This is clearly the place to be. Jack is a Hong Kong legend and has created an amazing vibe here at this fantastic Italian restaurant in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong. If you can get a reservation, Jack personally greets you when you get off the elevator and escorts you to your table. A rather eclectic mix of music blasts through the loudspeakers frequently interrupted by birthday or anniversary songs for the groups of patrons celebrating their special events here. The food is off the charts good - but the scene really is what will have you wanting to come back. The Argentinian bartender was friendly, knowledgeable and talented bearing an awesome vibe from the get go. Jackcello caps off the evening with a delectable sweet and tart finish. Hope to come back!

The restaurant has a very classic European style and feels very intimate because the staff are friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely amazing, and it totally exceeds expectations. I tried the tempting jumbo prawns with Aglio e Olio spaghetti, and it was absolutely delicious! The fresh prawns are cooked to perfection, making them sweet and juicy. You won't leave a single bite on your plate! With such a long list of reservations, you'll be very lucky if you finally manage to secure a table with someone special.

The atmosphere here is really lovely, and the people are friendly and enjoying themselves! However, I was a bit let down by one of the dishes. It didn’t quite match my expectations for the price—the meat was tough, and the cheese didn’t blend well with it. Overall, though, I’m still having a nice time!

Carbone Hong Kong was incredibly disappointing. The moment we walked in, the smell was awful, like sewage covered with perfume to mask it. We ordered the burrata with prosciutto, and the prosciutto was extremely low quality. We asked for a Caesar salad with very little garlic, but our server didn’t even seem to know what garlic was, and the dressing turned out to be premade. The meatballs were cold and mostly bread. We asked for pasta cooked al dente, and again, our server didn’t know what that meant. The only good dish was the spicy rigatoni — the sauce was genuinely great. If that dish hadn’t been good, the entire meal would have been a complete disaster. It’s sad to see such an iconic brand decline. In New York, the service is exceptional with highly trained staff, so you expect something similar in Hong Kong. The sommelier however was fantastic !

Overall a pretty unpleasant experience. Food was okay but some dishes were slightly too salty. The atmosphere was definitely a let down. They jam packed the restaurant, so had people and staff bumping into my chair the entire meal. Food also had random very long gaps. Probably many better places to go in Hong Kong , especially for this price.

Love the attention to detail that Black Sheep put into every one of their places! A 1960’s Italian nyc vibe. The Caesar salad is a performance, the food is sublime and the staff are fantastic! Extra shout out to Valentina who was our server and just lovely!

Sadly a disappointment compared to New York. Overly dark, very slow service and salmon was over cooked/dry. To add insult to injury they forgot my order and then rushed it out after everyone else at the table was almost done. No sorry, but they did remember to put the second spaghetti dish on the bill. They also advised about being a smart casual establishment, yet majority of patrons were in T-shirts and shorts. Would not recommend.

Lovely family dinner! Highlights: incredible spicy rigatoni vodka and potato Sergio. Coconut chocolate cake was an absolutely perfect dessert to end our dinner. Service was immaculate. Staff made us feel very welcomed and took great care of us. Highly recommend Carbone and will definitely keep coming back.
