Carbone is Chef Mario Carbone’s homage to the great Italian American restaurants of mid-20th century in New York, where delicious, exceptionally well-prepared food was served in settings that were simultaneously elegant, comfortable and unpretentious. His food captures the essence of that history but takes its culinary cues from the kitchens of his childhood, the great talents with whom he worked throughout his early career and incorporates his signature techniques that blend familiar and bold flavors to create the most craveable dishes. We call this Carbone Italian.

I’m sure this place gets really loud at night, but our girls club meeting needed a place where we could share conversation and talk and drinks (they pour heavy!!) and so this was perfect. Brunch was very good, my partners -in-crime mostly had lunch and liked it too. For drinks and a meal, it was reasonably priced.

This sparkling young restaurant is still finding is footing. A mix of fine dining with late night dance party vibe. Menu selection is unique to our area. The kitchen team put together great flavors with a bit of clunkiness to the service timing. Check the website for menu specials as it changes week to weekend to be sure you choose the dining experience that best suits your taste.
