""With nostalgia at the forefront, Carbone is plain gorgeous. While this big and bold ode to Italian-Americana comes alive at dinnertime, lunch sees a crowd of crisp suits and Valentino-donning divas. A sense of history pervades the space, highlighting banquettes, ceramics, and chandeliers. Was the tiled-floor inspired by a certain scene in The Godfather? Indeed. Mid-century classics are what this menu is about, but exalted ingredients and presentations will excite even the most cynical. Servers work the floor cradling loaves of garlic bread with fresh mozzarella. Spaghetti alla gricia is a must; and chicken scarpariello is dolled-up with a chunky pepper- and mushroom-sauce Prices are sky-high, but all is forgiven with the arrival of the six-layer blackout cake. ONE STAR." If Rao’s is the toughest reservation to get in New York City, Carbone is a close second. The Spicy Rigatoni from this A-lister Italian landmark needs no introduction. It’s an absolute bloodbath when Carbone releases their dinner reservations seven days in advance. Resy is guaranteed to go into absolute shock, but hopefully, you will too once you secure this nearly impossible table! If you’re lucky enough to get in, you absolutely need to order the off-the-menu meatballs and add them to your pasta."

No paparazzi currently lurk outside in the more restrained Boston – or at least they weren’t when I was there for a Tuesday reservation – but the views are equally Insta-worthy. The food here is much more northern Italy than Italian American. Think meatballs in mustard and cream sauce ($20) rather than olive oil and tomato, or chicken sostanza ($39) cooked to a Florentine recipe and washed down with the restaurant’s signature drink, the $18 Garibaldi (Campari with blood oranges freshly juiced so that the pectin on top resembles a head of Guinness).

@sophiaschott2021

"Carbone is an Italian-American restaurant created by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick. The restaurant pays homage to the essence of 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. The food nods to that same history, but takes its culinary cues from the great talents and techniques of the present and of the future. Familiar dishes like Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Lobster Fra Diavola, Chicken Scarpariello and Veal Parmesan elevated to a new level."
