Spicy Rigatoni and TORTELLINI TARTUFO NERO
Nathan B.

Carbone was an amazing experience, and I would highly recommend everyone trying it out! It was an amazing vibe where it was casual but classy, and at the same time really high end service. Drinks were amazing and reasonably priced as well!

Not sure why the average rating for this place is so low. We came in with high expectations and had a wonderful experience. From the service, to the environment, and of course the star of the show, the food, everything was exceptional. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the entire menu, providing appropriate suggestions about what to order. The aperetivos were delicious and a perfect way to start the meal. Grandma's bread is a must. Of course, the viral spicy rigatoni lived up to the hype, but I did find myself reaching some palette fatigue towards the end of the meal. Overall, the experience plus the quality of the food is exceptional. A must visit for special occassions.

Complimentary bread

A pretty good spot for some Italian. They provide some really amazing complimentary bread, parm, salami, and cauliflower. Carbone is known for the spicy rigatoni which is good, but I think the lobster ravioli was better. Overall, really good service, but I think you can get better (and cheaper) Italian other places in Dallas. They have matchbooks if you're a collector!

We had really high hopes for Carbone in downtown Dallas--mostly because Drake is such a big fan of the place. And if there's one thing everybody knows about Drake...it's that he has impeccable taste in Italian food. (Kidding.) Walking in, the vibe is cool. Not traditional Italian, but definitely upscale. I can see why people pick it for a date night. The service was truly top-notch. They have a whole team of servers and support staff making sure your glasses stay full, plates get cleared immediately, and the table is always clean. That part felt very polished and professional. Unfortunately, that's where the "wow" factor ended. The food didn't match the ambiance--or the price. Everything is served family-style, so we all picked dishes together. We already knew we had to try two Carbone staples: the calamari and the spicy rigatoni vodka. Except...they didn't have calamari. Not sold out--just didn't have it that night. And we were one of the first tables of the evening. "Disappointed" is putting it lightly. So instead, we got the off-menu Hamachi appetizer (pretty good) and the prosciutto with mozzarella. The prosciutto was salty and delicious, but the mozzarella was surprisingly bland. Definitely not memorable. For mains, we ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, which was good...but just good. Not mind-blowing or worth the hype. The lobster ravioli was decent too, but again nothing special. Our protein was the Steak Diana, and while the steak itself was cooked well, the sauce didn't land for most of us--luckily it was served on the side. One person at the table liked it, so maybe it's just a preference thing. We also ordered the squash as a side, and it felt plain and under-seasoned. I hate to nitpick, but at these prices, you expect a little more than "just okay." For dessert, the tiramisu was actually fantastic--the ladyfingers were spot on. The carrot cake was also enjoyed by the table, though I'm not really a carrot cake guy. Overall, we probably won't be back. The service and ambiance were excellent, and our server really knew the menu. But the food just didn't deliver for us. In a city with some amazing Italian options, especially at this price point, we'll likely head somewhere else next time.

Spicy Rigatoni and Tortellini

My husband and I love coming here!!! The service is always amazing and the food and drinks are incredible. Plus the experience and vibe feels special! We have tried some of the newer restaurants in this area and they are more expensive with less quality food and smaller portions. Carbone is a consistent classic and we are always satisfied ! plus the welcome bread and hors d'oeuvres are such a great touch. Some of our favs are: Caesar salad, veal parm, spicy rigatoni, and tortellini

Carbone 3.5/5 Spicy Rigatoni definitely was the star. Chicken Massala was lackluster, not worth its price. One of the best calamari appetizers ive had to date. Great complimentary breads Great service, but as expected from an establishment that provides a "luxury experience." Valet parking available, although lots of spaces in the design district to self park. All in all, while the food is good, I believe certain dishes are overpriced. Great interior, lots of seating, comfortable, although majority of restaurant is dimly lit. Great for a date night

Spicy rigatoni

Beautiful dining experience in the Dallas area! My bf booked our reservation a month out and he was super excited to see what Carbone was about. The restaurant is stunning and takes you to a different era as soon as you walk in. We came on a busy weekend and the restaurant was packed! Our server was very knowledgeable and recommended great dishes but of course we tried the Caesar Salad, Spicy Rigatoni and Ravioli. Our starter bread was fantastic and can be filling so pace yourself. Our salad was delicious and I loved the option of having the anchovies on the side or mixed in. The rigatoni lived up to the hype with its flavor and overall presentation. The ravioli wasn't my fav but it was surprisingly good to my bf. The margarita was good but the cinnamon stick could've been left out in my opinion. Overall, the service was great and the food was pretty good! If you can snag a reservation, I definitely recommend building up an appetite to enjoy a dish from each course. We just weren't that hungry but still enjoyed the experience!

I loved almost everything about carbone. The ambiance is transformative, the service is impeccable, and the free appetizers are delicious. However it had to lose one star just based on one food item, the ribeye. I'll start with the salad. The table side Caesar may not be worth the price but it's a large portion and is delicious so I would definitely order again. Then the famous spicy vodka pasta was divine and absolutely loved up to the hype. However the ribeye Diane left much to be desired. The sauce it is bathed in is good not great while the sear on the steak and the seasoning on it was not present. Overall it was a solid steak but for $97 I would absolutely not recommend. That being said I still will absolutely be coming back to carbone to try more of the pastas and to try some of the seafood options!

Niki L.

Really enjoyed our visit to Carbone. Spicy rigatoni was definitely good but we've had better vodka pastas at other restaurants. The lemon cheesecake was the star of the show for us, it was delicious. I'd come back to try other menu items in the future! Server was very nice and the vibes in the restaurant were lively.

I really enjoyed my dinner here! Wasn't difficult to get a reservation. It was very spacious inside with lots of unique table settings and ambiences. I was sat in a more traditional dining area. I had a great server! I really enjoyed the complimentary bread basket and the meats and pickled cauliflower that came with it! For my entree, I went with the infamous vodka pasta and I see why it's so popular. It was creamy, had a slight kick, and was a pretty decent portion. I will be back just for the bread and pasta!

Caesar Salad
Presley J.

We dined at Carbone to celebrate a birthday while we were in Dallas. The reservation indicated it was a birthday and the host even said it several times. We loved the complimentary breads and the pickled cauliflower. The Caesar salad is made tableside with the dressing they toss in. Very good. They had the yellowtail so we got that while they had it. The spicy rigatoni was the star of the show of course. We got 3 portions. Although maybe it would've felt like more if they didn't put it all on one plate I'm not sure. The lighting was dark and ambient. Honestly at times I couldn't see without that little lamp haha. We had to tell the server we were celebrating a birthday but we thought we might do dessert elsewhere and he said no I have something to celebrate here. He brings out the cart of 4 cakes for us to choose from. We picked the carrot cake which was pretty good. But then we were charged $25 for it. Very misleading to make is seem like a treat on the house but then slap us with the bill with $25 for a slice of cake. That bothered me. But otherwise great meal.

Brought out cake for pictures as they wanted to charge $15 slice of our own cake?!!
Whitney B.

Might have been a hot spot when opened but we were very disappointed. Too much hype. I'm sure their are nights it's wonderful but for us it fell Short across the board. I'd go get a drink at the bar and maybe an appetizer but that's it! We came for a birthday and my wife made my daughters favorite cake. They wouldn't let us cut it unless we paid $15 for each plate wtf?? Won't be back.

Caesar salad
Sarah L.

Has Carbone lost its luster? This once buzzy restaurant and "hard to get reservation" feels a bit like it's losing steam in the Dallas location. Food: On this occasion, we had the Caesar salad, calamari, spicy rigatoni (never misses), and the mushroom fettuccine. The calamari is great - lightly fried and comes with a white wine beurre blanc sauce. The Caesar salad is made table side - croutons are divine and love the sardines for a classic touch. The fettuccini left much to be desired. No flavor. We also tried the tiramisu and lemon cheesecake for dessert - the cheesecake was delicious and outdid the tiramisu for sure. Service: just okay, it is not as sharp and polished as it used to be!

We started with the focaccia bread (5/5). Wow--this might be some of the best bread I've ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and the dip was delicious. I usually try not to fill up on bread before the entrées arrive, but we made sure to finish every bite. We also ordered the burrata salad (5/5), which was a very generous portion and absolutely delicious. I would definitely order it again. For our entrées, my friend and I shared the chicken piccata and the bolognese. The chicken piccata was a 5/5 for me, while the bolognese was a 4.5/5. Both dishes were excellent and I'd happily order either again. This visit was a completely different experience from my first one, and I'm glad I came back.
