Editorial Review for Carbone's Restaurant – by Ben Williams
The Scene
Thirty-something singles dress up for the crowded weekend bar scene, while the dark, leather-padded dining room plays host to business meetings, birthday celebrations, romantic dinners and the kind of patrons who've been coming back for decades. Culinary award plaques, review clippings and signed photographs testify to the restaurant's history; the Carbones have been keeping it in the family for over 60 years.
The Food
Traditional northern Italian cuisine, rich in texture with hearty sauces. A touch of showmanship is provided by the waiters, who stop beside the tables to set entrees aflame, or mix caesar salad dressing. Don't expect too much pasta, though what there is is excellent (especially fettucine alfredo). Veal comes stuffed with prosciutto in a cream and sherry sauce, while fried calimari is interspersed with red and green peppers and drizzled with sun-dried tomato aoli.

I went there with a big group of people one night, and sometimes waiters or waitresses don't like to handle big groups, but the service was great, and the food was superior, i would recommend Carbone's to anyone!!! Great place to have a fantastic meal.

Wow!! That's all I can say. The service from when I walked in the door to when they made me feel like a family member on the way out was impecable! With me, five others, a table of 6 all together. The restaurant was pretty full and the hostess lead us to visit the most entertaining bartend outside of NYC. We ordered one drink and before we could finish it the hostess lead us to a table (they carried our drinks for us). The service was unbelieve, with table side preparation of flamming salads and desserts. Entrees were great, and the owner came out to thank us for dinning even thought he didin't know who we were. Great food, great service.
Pros: Great food, great service!
Cons: Pricey, but great portions...good left overs
