Carbone Hong Kong

We arrived on time to our reservation. They said they need to clean up the table so we waited at the bar side. After 30mins we were still at the bar side while those who came after us were seated. We checked with them a few times but it seems no one took us seriously until it’s almost 45mins of waiting and one of my friends wanted to leave. Finally we got a table and ordered some very traditional dishes. Overall nothing impressive and even the pasta is not good. Not sure why it is so popular.

Carbone is a fantastic Italian restaurant that never disappoints! My group of 3 had a wonderful dinner experience here. The staff was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations on wine pairings and menu items. We started with the delicious Italian meatballs, then moved on to the flavorful rigatoni and scrumptious ravioli - all of which were generously portioned and an excellent value. A bustling, lively atmosphere on a Tuesday night, and the seating was very comfortable. Carbone has a wonderful energy that makes it perfect for a lively night out. I highly recommend this authentic Italian spot for its mouthwatering cuisine, welcoming service, and lively ambiance. It's a true gem in the neighborhood and I can't wait to return!

It was my first time at Carbone HK and it would definitely be the last. My brother and I ordered the carpaccio for starter, a spicy rigatoni, and the veal Parmesan, all of them were so mid. If you’re looking for some mind-blowing flavor, you should reconsider. Service wise ohhh don’t even get me started… The waitress who served us last night has the most passive aggressive attitude, took her 15 minutes to take our order, didn’t bother to introduce or explain anything, didn’t offered set menu and didn’t served us cheese. I observed that the only time the waiters were smiling is to their own colleagues. The overall experience is very poor, didn’t felt welcomed at all. I don’t mind spending money on fine food, but spending around 200€ for a horrible dining experience which the food doesn’t even taste special, I simply felt scammed.

As famous as Carbone already is, the restaurant deserves every bit of credit and praise it has been given. Coming for lunch was a great idea as we got more value for money. The famous Vodka Rigatoni lived up to the hype, and a personal favourite was the bass. If you're looking for a more upper end restaurant serving quality Italian-American, Carbone is for you.

Delicious food and fun vibe. All the dishes were tasty and the cocktails were on point. Got slightly crowded in the bar area with patrons towards the end of our dinner but added to the buzzy atmosphere. Will definitely be back next trip to Hing Kong.

Great service, but the food is average compared to a few years ago. Bread: the best bread we've had for months Octopus antipasti: very tender Lobster ravioli: generous fillings of lobster, wonderful Rigatoni: rich sauce, would be better with addition of a protein for textural contrast Chicken: pretty awful and unnecessary

Been wanting to come here for ages but never had an excuse. Came here for a friend's gathering and was blown away by the service and the food here. Service was impeccable as everyone was friendly and knowledgeable. In terms of food, the lobster ravioli is a must try, as well as their rigatoni. The beef carpaccio and the meatballs were also to die for. It was an amazing experience overall and I suggest anybody who's a fan of Italian food to come here at least once. Obviously it's a bit pricey and should be saved for a special occasion, but definitely make your way out here when you have a chance.

Carbone brings a taste of renowned New York Italian-American fare to Hong Kong, transporting diners back to the vibrant vibes of 1950s American diners. Within its nostalgia-rich interiors, generous portions of pasta, steak and signature dishes like meatballs and the chicken parmesan satisfy appetites. It’s no surprise that Carbone has swiftly become a favorite dining destination. 𝙏𝙪𝙣𝙖 𝘾𝙧𝙪𝙙𝙤 A fresh and vibrant start. Sliced tuna emanates a rich, aromatic grease lifted by pickled and charred eggplant, and mint leaves. Subtle textures blend seamlessly in each morsel. 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙘𝙮 𝙍𝙞𝙜𝙖𝙩𝙤𝙣𝙞 𝙑𝙤𝙙𝙠𝙖 (7.5/10) As a signature dish, it features a creamy, spicy, and bright tomato-based sauce made with vodka. The sauce gets its kick from the use of Calabrian chili peppers, which add a smoky, fruity, and slightly salty heat to the dish. Definitely a must try. 𝙒𝙝𝙤𝙡𝙚 𝘽𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙤 (7.5/10) Carbone nailed the whole branzino, with the flaky white fish just falling off the bone underneath a crackling crisp skin that needs nothing more than minimal seasoning. The helpful servers make short work of portioning the fish so everyone can easily dig in to it. 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙧𝙤𝙩 𝘾𝙖𝙠𝙚 (7/10) We enjoyed the moist and flavor-packed cake beneath velvety cream cheese frosting, accompanied by zesty ginger ice cream. Such a delightful medley of textures and flavors.
