    veal parmesan, fettuccine con funghi, vodka pasta
    Araks K.

    Let me start by saying that everything began perfectly. The service was exceptional at first. They brought out the focaccia and cheese, and both were absolutely delicious, so we were genuinely excited to try the appetizers and main courses. Unfortunately, things went downhill from there, including the service. After taking our order, our server basically disappeared. We waited around 40 minutes for our pastas and veal Parmesan to arrive, and during that time no one really checked on us or even came by to refill our water. We ordered the beef carpaccio, and it honestly tasted like nothing--no salt, no seasoning, and basically no flavor at all. For the main dishes, we ordered the fettuccine con funghi, spicy vodka pasta, cheese tortellini, and the veal Parmesan. Without exaggerating, everything was terrible. The pastas were so bland and flavorless that we could barely eat them. The veal Parmesan, which costs $91 by the way, was just as disappointing--completely bland and lacking flavor. For a restaurant that receives this much hype, we were expecting a completely different experience. The beginning of the meal had us really excited, which made the rest of the dinner even more disappointing. Between the bland food, the long wait, and the service completely falling off after our order was taken, this was a very disappointing dinner experience. I genuinely do not understand how a place with food this flavorless receives so much praise.

    Been meaning to try carbone each time I've visited Vegas and at last I got the chance to. Arrived before opening and was able to snag a bar seat without a reservation. The decor inside was classic New York with lots of glam sprinkled throughout. Very upscale. Most importantly Drake was not lying. As simple as that pasta looks, it is packed with flavor (not spicy at all) but still amazing. The bar staff was great and even crafted me a delicious lemon drop, they really know what they are doing. They were so accommodating and really went above and beyond in providing a great experience. As for the dessert they bring a cart around which I think is a nice touch for those that need visuals. I kept it classic and chose the tiramisu, it was quite good but not the best I've had. Next time I'm in I'm excited to try more of what they have to offer, hopefully that's sooner rather than later!

    Visited Carbone in Vegas at Aria. We have been here several times and it never disappoints. From the minute we were seated for our reservation to the end it was nothing short of amazing. Our bartender Nick always does a great job of making us feel welcome, entertaining us throughout and providing superior service as usual. They offer complimentary bread that is so soft and delicious it practically melts in your mouth. They also serve pickled cauliflower as well as pepperoni to start you off. Both are excellent accompaniments before any items you order come out. We then ordered the octopus, carpaccio and the lobster raviolis. Octopus must be cooked perfect or it isn't good. This place always makes it perfectly. The carpaccio was so thin and tasted amazing. The ravioli is served with a serious amount of lobster both inside and out. This place provides a great environment for a fine dining experience that is both elegant and classy. We love coming here and will be back!

    Late night party of 1 please! I came Vegas for a girls trip and everyone told me I had to go to Carbone. It was hard to find a reservation but I decided to walk in as a party of one my last night there and it was worth it. They start you off with bread service and antipasto and pickled cauliflower. It was a diverse bread spread and the antipasto and cauliflower was a nice surprise. I was in and out this night and ordered the spicy rigatoni which was delicious. My server at the bar was very attentive. I will definitely be trying the Carbone in Miami soon.

    Orecchiette Vito (better than the rigatoni!)
    Alice W.

    This is easily one of my favorite restaurants in a long while! Shout out to Joey, our wonderful waiter, for his kindness, attentiveness, great recommendations, and cool personality! The meal comes first with cheese, three different types of bread, cauliflower, and salami slices. All delicious and all free. We had the caprese salad and the tomatoes were to die for. So good. If it's in season, def get this. It's large and perfect for sharing. We got the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and this was delicious... BUT My favorite was the Orecchiette Vito. I know everyone raves about the rigatoni but the orecchiette Vito was legit. Both pastas were perfectly al dente. The Vito was a tad bitter in taste but it was sooooo good. Wahh I still think about it! We got the Ribeye Diana and Funghi Trifolati. The ribeye was perfectly cooked and seasoned. The mushrooms were fleshy and a pretty large side. For three women, we finished everything ordered but were sooo stuffed. We'd probably been fine not getting the rigatoni.. lol! Def plan on coming back when in Vegas. It's a cute space and the perfect date spot. Def make a reservation in advance!!

    We scored a last-minute reservation for 8 people on a Friday night, which was such a pleasant surprise! The service was great--our server was attentive, friendly, and kept checking in to make sure we had everything we needed without being overbearing. I ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka pasta, and it was absolutely delicious. I don't handle super spicy food well, but this had the perfect amount of heat and so much flavor. The Caesar salad is a must! They prepare it tableside, and it's honestly the best Caesar salad I've ever had. We'll definitely be back.

    One of my favorite dining experiences. Made a reservation as soon as they opened, a month in advance, to ensure we got in here. Beautiful restaurant and ambiance. The food was amazing and so was the level of care by the staff. Joey, our server, was incredible! So kind and charismatic, and made our experience in Vegas so memorable. The spicy rigatoni is as good as everyone says. We also ordered cocktails and the caesar salad. I was so impressed by the bread, cheese, salami, and cauliflower that they give you as a starter, and the cookies they give for dessert. Just an impeccable place. Can't wait to go back!

    My friends and I planned a Vegas trip, and for the birthday dinner, we decided on the iconic Carbone! I highly recommend making a reservation well in advance because they get super busy. We booked ours three weeks ahead and only got lucky because someone had canceled their booking. Once we were seated, I noticed how they have different rooms and sections with plenty of seating, giving the restaurant a really cool atmosphere. We sat by the bar and started off with some great drinks. They also provided complimentary appetizers, which were amazing, especially the cheese! I highly recommend getting the calamari as it was very light yet flavorful. We also ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, which is their infamous pasta and genuinely made for an amazing meal. The lobster ravioli was also very good, featuring a generous amount of lobster. However, we liked the salmon but we just heavily preferred the other dishes we received. As for dessert, we ended our meal with the tiramisu, which was very good and the perfect way to wrap up our dinner. I will say that as much as I enjoyed the food, I wasn't particularly happy with the service. Our bartender completely forgot about us for a bit and even took one of our plates before we were finished or able to say anything, which was quite disappointing. Still, a memorable birthday dinner spot!

    We dined at Carbone for my birthday, and because even after all these years reservations are hard to come by, ours was for 9pm and we were seated closer to 9:25. The restaurant is much larger than meets the eye and we were seated in the small back room with the additional bar. There were quite a few tables open. Service was attentive and professional. We ordered a bottle of wine which they kept chilled and always made sure to refill our glasses as needed. I was a huge fan of the complimentary starters and to be honest I think they were my favorite part of the meal. A member of the staff comes to your table to serve a chunk of parmesan cheese cut right off the block. You also receive a bowl of pickled cauliflower, a beautifully presented salami rose plate, and a basket of 3 types of fresh bread. Our waiter informed us that everything was served family style and meant to be shared, so I found it interesting that they split our order of Spicy Rigatoni Vodka for us. It's one of their most well-known dishes and we really enjoyed it. The Octopus Pizzaiolo was delicious, especially with the inclusion of the crispy potatoes. The thick piece of fish on the Salmon Oreganata was beautiful but the salmon itself lacked a bit of seasoning. They bring around a dessert cart but we opted out as nothing caught our eye and we were pretty full. They brought out a small birthday dessert with a candle, which was delicious and always appreciated.

    Lovely place for a date night or dinner with the gals. Ambiance is dim lit and intimate, but can be a little loud. I loved the decor, it gave speakeasy vibes. Staff was attentive, welcoming, charismatic which added to my first time dining here. Overall id totally come back. I find it overpriced but its vegas and at least I know itll be tasty food (ex: how is one meatball $10 excluding tax + tip) Free Bread (5/5): Loved the toasted garlic bread!!! Cauliflower & salami came out too but I didnt try it Spicy Rigatoni Vodka + Meatball add-on (4.5/5): Both were delicious. No option to add chicken so i ordered a side of meatballs which is not on the menu ($10 per meatball). For $36, the vodka pasta should come with a protein. Tortellini Ragu (3/5): Loved the ragu sauce & meat, I felt the tortellini was a little too rich but I think thats personal preference. Couldve came with more meat for $38. I wouldnt order again Tiramisu (5/5): Soooo good, definitely recommend. its enough for two people Tip: Make reservations in advance as its very popular. If you dont, you may get lucky and snag a spot at one of the two bars inside like we did!

    This was a different experience, mostly good but with some deficiencies based largely on food preparation preferences. For example, for Veal Marsala I greatly prefer well-pounded scallops of veal rather than veal off the bone. So, I opted for Veal Parmesan instead, which was good but still served with a bone. Said a server to me, "Aren't you going to eat the bone?" and I answered, "Why? Do I look like a dog?" "No," he replied. "Meat on the bone is the best part." So, I gnawed on the bone a little bit, and I concede that the meat I encountered was indeed tasty. But Diane reported that her Fettuccine Alfredo was slightly overcooked. Far more impressive than our entrees were the free preliminaries that were brought en masse to our table at the outset of our meal: a Bread Basket with Sesame Seed Bread and Tomato Focaccia, delicious Italian Salami, chunks of Parmesan, and Pickled Cauliflower, followed by light and golden Calamari Marco. Tortellini in Brodo Soup filled with Swiss Chard and Foie Gras was good but too salty. A Caesar Salad prepared tableside was very fresh with finely grated Parmesan Cheese spilled over the Romaine leaves like snow. A fine side was Potatoes Louie, soft and tender sauteed potatoes. We were warned by an assistant server that we were probably ordering too much dessert, and he was right. But we thought we were ordering individual desserts. It turned out that each of them could have easily served three or four diners. The four of us did ultimately each try different desserts in the end. They were Chocolate Cherry Blackout Cake, Vanilla Ice Cream, Carrot Cake, and Lemon Cheesecake. Each was an excellent example of the type of dessert it represented. Service was excellent. Our captain just forgot to bring requested Marinara Sauce for the Calamari besides the spicy aioli that was tasty enough that I no longer wanted any other sauce. Our dining room with a black and white checkered floor was crowded but still classy, and table seating was comfortable. Yet the noise level was so loud that it was difficult to carry on an easily understood conversation at our table.

    First time here. Got my reservations like a month in advance. They give you complementary Parmesan cheese, bread and salami and some pickled veggies. Everything was delicious! Reminded abit of a charcuterie board. We got 2 pastas. The vodka pasta. It was yummy. Probably my favorite vodka pasta I ever had. The other pasta we got is tortellini Al ragu. It was yummy! For dessert they give you complementary rainbow cookies(they were okay). The server was funny.

    Does the chicken parm need to be ordered in advance?

    Not that I'm aware of from our dining experience in LV

    Is there a dress code for ladies?

    No, but dress to impress 💕

    I see all of the other Carbone locations have a pre-set menu for Thanksgiving Day on their website, will Carbone Las Vegas be doing the same or will it just be the regular menu?

    Yes, they will have a preset Thanksgiving dinner menu.

    Which entrance is closer to Carbone, the main or the North entrance?

    the North Entrance

    Do they take walk ins?

    You can try, however not likely.

    Wine list please?

    How do I find the prices ???

    Are pants required?

    You can go in shorts they frown on flip flops. It's a nice high end spot

    Does the bar accept walk-ins, and is the full menu offered?

    Yes and yes

    How do I make reservations?

    You could call a month in advance and if you're lucky you will get in

    How much is the corkage fee?

    $85, 2 max, not on their list

    Is there a bar area where I can eat by myself? I'm in town for a weekend next month and can't find a reservation.

    They do have a bar, and I have eaten at the bar, though I did have a reservation via sky suites concierge. I believe they may take walk-ins at the bar, but I'm not 100% on that. What I've discovered is that they don't advertise any availability… 

    Do they offer anything special for birthdays?

    How far in advance do they book reservations?

    I'm not sure I would call!

    How long do you hold a reservation for?

    I'm not sure our friends made reservations for that restaurant way in advance

    Can I bring my kids?

    Children under six are not permitted.

    Does Carbone accept walk-ins or is it reservation only?

    Reservation only, including the bar.

    Is their anything close on the menu to a classic chicken alfrado? What is the best chicken pasta dish?

    They have don't a chicken pasta, but they have chicken dishes and you can get pasta. No creamy pastas on the menu, but the spicy rigatoni has cream in it.

    Is there bread service?

    Yes! Really good variety and good quality, don't get too full on it!

    Do they have live music?

    No they do not

    If they don't have space for reservations can they take you as a walk in if someone cancels?

    They do take reservations but probably needs to be well in advance. I tipped hostess $100 & got in immediately. Guess that's old school. Worth it though. We had spectacular evening.

We decided to split the agnolotti, and WOW, this was the standout dish of the night. The pasta, the sauce, everything about it was absolutely superb. We literally licked the plate clean!

    Absolutely loved our experience at Ferraro's! The Margherita pizza was incredible--perfectly cooked…read morewith a delicious crust, fresh ingredients, and just the right balance of flavors. Simple, authentic, and done exceptionally well. I paired it with a glass of white wine, and it was the perfect combination. Everything felt fresh, elevated, and exactly what you want from a great Italian meal. Ferraro's continues to deliver such a wonderful dining experience, from the food and wine to the atmosphere and service. Definitely a Las Vegas favorite and a place I'll happily come back to again and again. Highly recommend!

    We enjoyed dinner at the bar and were very well taken care of by Jeremy and Lauren. Impeccable,…read morefriendly and knowledgeable service. Jeremy made our delicious Espresso Martini's and Lauren guided us through the menu. They both were entertaining and we even know some of the same people. Small world. First course we had the fresh Yellowtail Crudo and the Tenderloin Tartar with Osetra Caviar. Outstanding! For our main courses we went with the Lobster Risotto with shaved black truffle and their Seafood Pappardelle pasta with scallops, lobster and asparagus. Incredible flavor and extremely fresh. For dessert we had to try the Tiramisu with a scoop of espresso gelato. Pure heaven. Thank you for a memorable and pleasant experience. Looking forward to returning to try your Beef Cheek Ravioli. The decor feels very upscale Manhattan with their beautiful dark woods and the lighting fixtures, very Venetian. I recommend you hurrying over and giving this restaurant a try, you won't be disappointed. I've lived in Las Vegas for 26 years and this was the first time here. It will not be my last!

    You can't do a Vegas restaurant query on any search engine without coming upon Esther's Kitchen,…read morethe award-winning spot in the burgeoning Arts District -- but this is not because of paid ads, it's because this restaurant is just flat-out fantastic, and should not be missed. Esther's is equally admired for brunch and dinner, but I came in for an evening meal and was seated in a good spot at the bar. The decor is a mix of homeyness and industrial chic, with calm lighting, lively music, and very comfortable seating. It's a fairly big place with a lot of tables, but everything has been well-spaced, so the busyness of the restaurant creates a festive mood without feeling crowded. The staff is moving fast, but they always greet you with a smile and a friendly demeanor, so you really feel comfortable settling in for the evening. My bartender/server was Tyler, who is 100% on his game mixing drinks, taking food orders, and chatting up the customers. Another very good egg in a town with lots of great servers. He whipped up a very tasty martini with blue cheese olives, and made sure to make menu suggestions to this first-timer. I began with an order of the Baked Mussels in Nduja Butter, topped with breadcrumbs. I'd seen photos online, and I was very excited to try this -- but my imagination couldn't hold a candle to the reality of this dish. The mussels themselves were plump and briny and fresh as can be, while the nduja-infused butter was savory and spicy and altogether crave-inducing. It would be easy to eat plate after plate after plate of these mussels all day long. Just wonderful. For my main I went with the Calabrian Pork Sausage, served atop lentils that have been stewed with onions and tomatoes. The large ring of sausage (I'm told the serving averages out at a full pound) is expertly chargrilled and boasts a complex flavor profile combining herbs, spice and just the right amount of fat. The accompanying lentils are a hoot -- quite wonderfully cooked to mimic campfire baked beans, their sweet, tomatoey taste profile being the perfect foil for the charred sausage, evoking the most upscale expression imaginable of franks & beans. This is just a winner, though the portion is enormous and really should be shared. I very much wanted dessert, as I imagine their Basque Cheesecake or Butterscotch Budino would be fantastic, but I just didn't have room for another bite. That said, I will be back, and I will be trying other things (including that dessert), and right now I'm multi-tasking: Yelping while searching flights to come back soon for dinner, or brunch, or both with a nap in-between. Don't miss this place. And definitely get the mussels!!!
