What a wonderful experience here. We’d wanted to come to Carbone for a while and finally got the chance this weekend while we visited Dallas. The service was exceptional and the food was delicious. The spicy rigatoni was as good as advertised. We will definitely visit again.
I recently dined at Carbone Dallas, and while the experience was good, it fell just short of being great. Initially, the ambiance was off… it looked like we were in a warehouse with cheap decor… once we were sat in the dining room… the ambiance completely changed… it did classic and inviting, with a charming old-world charm.
The food was good, but again not great. The flavors were rich and comforting, but I couldn't help but feel it lacked a certain finesse that would have elevated it to the next level. Similarly, the service was attentive but lacked a personal touch that could have made the dining experience truly exceptional.
The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the hazelnut cake. If there's one thing to indulge in, it's this delectable dessert paired with a glass of Cabernet. The combination is truly extraordinary.

Having been here multiple times in Dallas as well as LV and NY, will tell you that you can never ever go wrong with their main dish Spicy Vodka Rigatoni and my personal favorite Veal Parmesan! Do be sure to order as much as you can the first time as it may be hard to request more after. 4-5 dishes is recommended for 3 grown Texan men outside their lovely Parmesan/bread samples.
Gorgeous restaurant. NYC location is nearly impossible to get reservations at but thankfully this location is slightly under the radar. Worth the hype to come & have dinner. Screams Frank Sinatra vibes inside the dining area, very classy, old Italian vibes. Service is tremendously professional. You have to order everything all at once, which we don’t typically like to do at restaurants but I will say, the courses were perfectly timed apart. They give complimentary salami, pickled cauliflower and bread (tomato, garlic and sesame bread) all of which was very tasty and filling! Of course, we got the spicy rigatoni. It was so creamy and perfectly Al dente. Slightly salty but still very good- highly recommend. My husband & I shared the Ribeye Diana with potatoes Louis. It came with a beautiful brown sauce with fried shallots on top. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We were too full for dessert but they were so kind to give us the iconic Italian rainbow cookies- delish! My husband never had it before and he loved it.
Fine dining, good food but the atmosphere was lacking. Beautiful to look at but the terrace was hot! The fans in the corner did nothing to help. Felt bad for the poor waiters in suits... would recommend you book far in advance and sit inside if you're going in the summer...
Came to dinner here because a relative of mine said it was worth a try. I thought this restaurant would be high end quality from top to bottom. However, this restaurant is one of those restaurants were people talk about the hype, but the food doesn’t live up to that hype at all. My waiter did a great job of explaining everything and were nice and friendly. The menu is unnecessarily huge and it was giving 3rd grade science project bifold poster board. The menu had like 15-25 items on it. I had the Fettuccine Funghi and they don’t let you add meat to the dish. It didn’t fill me up at all. The portion was very small. I tried the carrot cake and it tasted very sweet. The decor is super nice, but I don’t understand why there’s fans everywhere and no AC? Seems odd for an elegant dining restaurant to only have fans, but no AC, so I felt hot the whole time. There were only two things I like from the restaurant: the wine and the bread. Other than that, I don’t recommend coming here.
I’d like to compare Carbone to the likes of Saison in SF or Nick and Sam’s in Dallas given the prestige this place has. However, the food and experience here was just good and unfortunately not great. I also did not like being charged $9 a glass for water.
As for the food:
- the dessert looked great and tasted ~good~.
- the spicy rigatoni was good, but nothing immensely special.
- Lobster ravioli was good.
- The bread was top-tier and absolutely fantastic. So was the cheese. That was certainly the highlight of the evening.
- I also enjoyed the hamachi carpaccio.

This is a location to enjoy the experience, and they truly delivered. The food was delicious; the must-try is exceptionally the macaroni spicy rigatoni vodka, octopus pizzaiolo, Cesar a la ZZ, and carrot cake. Our waiter was just fantastic; praises to Luis and Amber. The dinner setting feels excellent. I suggest reserving a table outside around 7 pm, as the sun sets and night ambiance makes the experience finer for you. The drinks are delicious as well. Overall a great dining experience.
