Carbone Dallas

Classic Italian for the Modern Era

What makes it fun

Carbone Dallas is where glam romance meets mid-century Italian-American flair. Housed in the heart of the Design District since 2022, this sultry outpost brings old-world New York charm to Dallas with theatrical décor, intimate lighting, and charismatic "captain" service in burgundy tuxedos that feel like a romantic show. Carbone’s menu reads like a declaration of love to classic Italian-American cuisine and features dishes like Spicy Rigatoni alla Vodka (a fan-favorite), Lobster Fra Diavolo, and Veal Chop Parmesan made for sharing. A date at Carbone is almost too saucy to handle.

Perfect for Business dinners, special occasions, and the best date night spot in D! Food is awesome, felt like I was in Manhattan, but service was the best. Spicy Rigatoni, Caesar, Carpaccio were awesome per usual, sleepers on the menu are the crudos, baked clams, orechettie, and the Dover Picatta. Dry Aged Wagyu Cowboy Ribeye, grilled perfectly. Lemon cheesecake and coconut sorbet with the rum cart is the best for dessert. Carrot cake is awesome too, with the Ginger gelato and cream cheese icing was delicious. Julia was our captain for this particular dinner, service and support team was flawless. From the front door, Sommelier, and server assistant. Drinks from the bar were brilliant. Aperol spritz, espresso martinis were perfect. The Negroni *ordered mine with mezcal was my favorite.

It was an 11 out of 10!!! Couldnt of been more perfect. EXCEPTIONAL service by Johnathan. The food is just amazing. We had a white truffle special Dover Sole for our entree. White truffle fresh from Italy flown in that day! Couldnt resist it. Bones perfectly removed tableside along with generous truffle shaving. Homerun! Lemon cheesecake was absolutely perfection. We cant wait to go back. Worth EVERY penny and then some. The amviance is everything you want for a dpecial night out. We sat in one of the viral booths you see so much on instagram amd it was perfect. You HAVE to try Carbone Dallas if you havent. Pricey but so worth it!!

Carbone in downtown Dallas is an absolute gem! The atmosphere is nothing short of amazing, with an authentic 1920s Italian theme that is impeccably done. Nestled in the vibrant heart of downtown, the location adds to the overall charm and excitement of the experience. The food is simply delicious. I had the spicy rigatoni vodka, which is now my personal favorite and a must-try recommendation. Don't miss out on the bread for the table; it comes with a delightful assortment of different breads served with parmesan cheese--perfect for sharing. I also enjoyed the mocktail Shirley Temple, which was surprisingly good. To top it all off, the cheesecake dessert was the highlight of the meal. From the lively location to the exquisite food and themed ambiance, Carbone offers a dining experience that is both memorable and satisfying. Highly recommended!

Service was amazing, nice place. If you’re wondering attire is a must but a lot of people were dressed casual. Our waiters were exceptional. Food was really good!

Honestly… this was really delicious. I admit, I am one of the people who for sure considered Carbone overhyped and couldn’t ever see myself going. However, my mom was in town and treated us to dinner and it was really phenomenal. The service was exceptional, and every detail was taken into account from the changing of plates between courses, to the honest food recommendations by the staff. Extremely expensive? Absolutely. But amazingly delicious? Yes. The dishes are meant to be shared because they are LARGE! We ordered 1 starter / salad, 2 pastas, 1 main dish, 1 side, and 1 desert for 3 people, which was honestly a lot of food and we ended up taking plenty home. The cocktails were a hit, and I really enjoyed the extensive list of grappa they had to offer. One word of advice - the atmosphere varies WILDLY between the “outside” warehouse space, and the “inside” cozy low lit atmosphere. It’s hard to explain, but there are almost 2 different versions of Carbone, and I’m not sure what determines where you sit. We sat on the “inside” which had lovely light fixtures, table lamps, built in booths in the walls, and a gorgeous bar. The “outside” had white air ducts hanging down from the ceiling , with fluorescent lighting until about 9 pm, which kind of feels like a pop up experience.

What a beautiful place! Outstanding decor! Our server and support staff were simply impeccable in their execution. We had the meatballs and spicy rigatoni pasta. The meatballs were spectacular, especially with a bit of the fresh parm they brought tableside. The pasta was just OK. I'm very familiar with fresh pasta and this was not fresh. It was also not rigatoni. The flavor was wonderful though. The Cocktails and wine by the glass were very good but we couldn't order a bottle because there werent any selections under $100.....with most several hundred to well over $14k. Impressive but not for a Thursday nice dinner. Put at least 10 choices of reds and whites in a fair price range. Overall a beautiful place well executed but those wine prices and market price for some choices is extravagant.
