Best Italian I've had in a long time. Incredibly fresh/sweet tomatoes in the caprese. Would highly recommend the tortellini ragu and an order of their meatballs.

Wow! Lives up to HIGH expectations. Favs were spicy rigatoni (obvi) and lobster fra Diavlo. And be prepared to be serviced like royalty and pay for it!! 🍝🍷
Chad HornerJuly 3, 2017
ideal for a special occasion of any kind; make sure to get the veal parm and the spicy rigatoni vodka

Reinvented classics soar, especially baked clams, rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and chocolate layer cake. – Green Guide Editor
Jason BrewApril 15, 2016
Traditional Italian restaurant that lives up to the hype. The linguini with clams was great and the meatballs are a must order
Will ArnoneJuly 6, 2013
Sit in the back. Be sure to order the veal parmagiana despite the outrageous price. And avoid the chicken dishes. Save room for the lemon cheesecake. Overall a superb dining experience.
DanJanuary 26, 2020
Homemade mozzarella, spicy rigatoni, meatballs, and veal parm are all excellent. A top Italian restaurant in the city
SolDecember 31, 2018
Mozzarella (with the added flair) was special, everything else just seemed flat. Get better Italian elsewhere, without breaking the bank.
Sam PezzulloSeptember 27, 2013
The kind of place you go to for the scene, and the ambiance, which is terrific. It's a total throwback. The food is good, but not great. Try the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka & the Caesar Salad alla ZZ.
AlexisAugust 6, 2013
The pastas are off the hook, for two definitely order two!!!!! Finish your meal with amaro to get that warm fuzzy feeling...
Helen LinMarch 15, 2013
Service here from the Torrisi duo is impeccable! Old Hollywood feel and cocktails will transport u. Every pasta perfectly cooked.
Madison EarlyOctober 21, 2019
100% lived up to the hype. Incredible food. Incredible service.
EvieApril 4, 2014
Worth every pretty penny--the ribs, oxtail cavatelli, spicy rigatoni, and carrot cake are all standouts.
Erika DjerfJuly 14, 2016
Let them order for you, they know the drill or order: carpaccio, meatballs, veal parm & spicy rigatoni
Cristian GonzalezAugust 9, 2014
Try the amazing scampi and the rigatoni alla vodka. Incredible space - looks like a classic Italian gangster joint from a bygone era.

Tasting Table says: From the Torrisi and Parm guys... Expect the classics, done right: linguine and clams, veal Parmesan, chicken scarpariello and lobster fra diavolo.
Amy RobertsonMay 22, 2015
I have no clue how they make the rigatoni so good. To boot it's a nice, classic, unpretentious atmosphere
Sam K TheoNovember 25, 2013
The pricey ($54) veal parm is incredible, as are all the pastas, the meatballs, and the carrot cake. Great cocktail and wine list as well.
Ilia POctober 24, 2015
Everything is incredible--seafood tower, steak, mushrooms, pasta, squash. A totally unique experience. Well worth a visit.
Michael AnthonySeptember 17, 2020
Cliche but the spicy rigatoni is unbelievable. Tough to get a reservation but we’ll worth it.
Ronald CattrysseFebruary 27, 2017
Everything they say is true. Perfect place to experience the old Italian-American vibe with excellent food.
Sarah JohnsonDecember 9, 2016
Wonderful place for a date. Can't go wrong with the spicy rigatoni

Carbone offers a unique take on the classic tiramisu, preparing a sliced wedge that layers mascarpone between Marsala sponge cake. Read more
Kayleigh HarringtonAugust 28, 2017
The hype is real. The vodka pasta, meatballs, carrot cake are all delightful.
Megan VarroneMarch 23, 2017
Cesar salad, meatballs, spicy rigatoni, tortellini, veal Parmesan, Dover sole, artichoke hearts, carrot cake
Alexis MichalakisJuly 6, 2013
The food was worth the prices-get the beef carpaccio, the Caesar salad (made tableside), veal parm, and potatoes dogana. Tiramisu is skippable.
ZoozJanuary 21, 2020
Absolutely lovely ... So delicious and great for dates. I personally loved the Chicken Parm
Jen MMarch 3, 2015
The spicy rigatoni and veal parm is as good as everyone says! Also try the eggplant app. Great place.
Mike ShermanJuly 16, 2017
The escarole may be the best thing on the menu. You wouldn't expect it, but trust me.
Jonathan Wagner Jr.September 1, 2017
The lasagna here is too die for. Only make a certain # per night or weekend. I don't remember which but it's limited.
RossFebruary 20, 2015
Do not miss the veal parm, spicy rigatoni, or meatballs. Italian cooking at its finest.
Nicole RocchioMay 15, 2021
Spicy rigatoni needs to be ordered everyday
Ashley RudolphJanuary 27, 2015
Order family style and sample what the waiter recommends. The service is spectacular here. Awesome for groups.

Spicy rigatoni and veal parmigiana - believe the hype. Scallop appetizer was buttery fresh. Generous Four Top in the playlist.
Sherie SwerdlowJanuary 20, 2014
Anything, everything. It's all delicious. Veal Parmesan amazing.
Jarel HillJuly 27, 2022
Spicy rigatoni/ tortellini were incredible. All Bread also amazing. Cheesecake phewww
Justine BloomeNovember 25, 2015
Grab a glass of wine and ask for their mozzarella. I have no idea what they soak it in, but it's mind-blowing.

"Best new addition 2013" according to Bloomberg restaurant critic Ryan Sutton, who recommends the Spicy rigatoni alla vodka.
Jessica LeanneMay 31, 2016
Fantastic restaurant!! Great service and amazing food. The mozzarella is to die for.
RJWDecember 9, 2017
Honestly pretty overrated. We had 3 pastas (4 if you count the one we sent back). All well over-salted. Spicy rigatoni was pretty forgettable. Much better Italian food elsewhere (Pepolino, Lupa).
The New Yorker ManagerMay 20, 2013
"The portions and the prices are as formidable as the pretense and the patter." The Caesar salad is "excellent," the garlic bread "good." Read more

For their ultra luxe version of veal parm, Carbone uses premium veal from Pat LaFrieda, plus house-made mozzarella and a bright, unfussy tomato sauce. It is the platonic ideal of a veal parm. Read more
Layla RafaelApril 22, 2014
Octopus for appetizer and definitely the spicy rigatoni vodka. Chris Cobb is an amazing waiter!
New York PRDecember 22, 2018
Get the tuna special appetizer. Also chicken parm ($40) is available if you request in advance.
ShahMay 17, 2015
Everything here is incredible, but their mozzarella is probably the best cheese I've ever had.
Maha AlrasheedFebruary 18, 2023
