High-end Italian red-sauce fare in retro-glam space
"Reimagining midcentury Italian-American red-sauce joints with fine-dining polish, Carbone (opened 2013) turned maximalist dining into an aspirational, glamorous experience—tableside Caesars, al dente rigatoni alla vodka, and over-the-top service helped spark a red-sauce renaissance and global brand expansion." - Eater Staff
"We visited Carbone London on opening night, Wednesday 17 September. We do not accept press invites or free meals. We got our Carbone booking the same way we get every other booking; with some old-fashioned refreshing. We’ll be back to try more of the menu, and give a fully rated review." - Jake Missing
"Carbone is secretly the best at lunch, and that’s also when it’s easiest to secure a table. (Not actually easy though—just slightly easier.) During the day the curtains are pulled back to let the daylight into this cult-famous Italian restaurant, nobody seems to care how long you stay, and it's something of a revelation to drink a Negroni surrounded by people who probably don't have to worry about a day job. Reservations are released online 30 days in advance at 10am. Walk-ins are not accepted. Best of luck." - willa moore, bryan kim, molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, sonal shah
"Verdict: Carbone is overhyped. It’s so overhyped that you’ll hear people claim that the food here isn’t even any good. That is untrue. The red sauce Italian food at Carbone is consistently delicious. This is just such a sceney restaurant, and there are so many other places where you can get excellent Italian food in this city. The only real reason to struggle for a table here is if you want to sit in a chair that Rihanna might have once occupied. Reservations are released online 30 days in advance at 10am. Walk-ins are not accepted. Best of luck." - bryan kim
"“Finally, while it’s situated a bit farther east in Greenwich Village proper, Carbone is another can’t-miss dining establishment you’ll want to tick off your New York bucket list while you’re in the area.”" - Sophie Mendel
