Carbone's

Probably the most expensive restaurant in Dallas. It is obscenely expensive. Cocktails start at $20 each. We had the meatballs, the rigatoni and the meatballs were the best meatballs I've ever ever had in my life. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was amazing and the chocolate cake which I thought was OK. For two people with two cocktails, one appetizer two entrées and two desserts it was almost $300 and we had the least expensive entrées you could get. They're more expensive than any steakhouse you'd ever go to in Texas. New York prices in Texas. They want $31 for a Caesar salad and $95 for a ribeye and $120 for Veal Marsala?

Went for the first time for Thanksgiving dinner. Got to sit in the gold booth which was an extra treat. Restaurant is beautiful! Service was fantastic. The whole team worked well together to make sure we had a great meal. Bread and snacks were delicious! Table side Caesar salad was great. Rigatoni was as good as I had read.

My expectations were on the lower side as I had been told by several people that the food was salty. This was far from the truth. Everything that we had was amazing. The best part of the meal was the service though. Brandi and Brittany were some of the best serving staff I have experienced. I will return for the service and old fashion. The pasta was also great but I expected nothing less.

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.

Carbone is not over hype in my opinion. I love their spicy rigatoni and Caesar salad and the free bread that they give you with the tomato sauce baked on top. There were other items we order there too like oysters, sashimi, steak and lasagna but the first items I mentioned are my favorites! Go with a big group so you can try more stuff!
