One of our favorite spots to have a date night, celebrate anything or just go get the best pasta. We come here a lot and have never been disappointed at all. Always great service and even better food.

The food is the best in Dallas. They bring a nice selection of breads as well as hand-cut parmesan and pickled cauliflower to start. We had the carpaccio which was oustanding. We then ordered the house specialty, spicy rigatoni Ala vodka which was delicious. The problem was that there was probably 1/4 # of pasta between to 2 of us for $34. I have no problem with paying for good food but my wife and I each had about 4 forkfuls of their best dishes. We then had the veal parmigiana which is always outstanding. It was a little loud in the atrium section of the restaurant. Overall it was a great meal, a little noisy and a little overpriced. They could add a little more pasta to the dish to make it more acceptable considering the price (And it was the best thing on the menu). We go 4-5x/year, typically for special occasions and we will go back, however, don't be so cheap on the pasta. You never want to leave a restaurant like that hungry or disappointed with the portion size.

Food was great. Service was disappointing - server straight up broke the glass on the floor in front of us which could easily have been a safety hazard. Very whatever attitude throughout whole service. Just overall very rude. The food was very high quality though, shame it was such a bad experience because of the service.

Great ambience! The starters were amazing. I wish there was more descriptions on the menu. I didn't want to ask our servers to tell what 75% of menu was. We went with her recommendation to do all the courses and get the steak. Market price was $300!! for just the steak, that was good but definitely not amazing. Would definitely order differently next time.

The experience was fantastic. The food and wine were amazing, and the service was over the top great. Will return.

The decor was intriguing, but the overall atmosphere felt more like dining in a warehouse dressed up as a movie set. Rather than feeling unique or inviting, the ambiance leaned toward corporate and impersonal. Service left much to be desired—our busboy was noticeably more attentive than our waiter, who seemed inexperienced and frequently absent unless prompted by other staff. As for the food, the carpaccio was overly complicated with unnecessary ingredients that detracted from the dish. However, the lobster ravioli was outstanding—rich, balanced, and beautifully prepared. It's unfortunate that the subpar ambiance and lackluster service diminished what could have been a memorable culinary experience.

I came here for my 30 birthday dinner with friends and the staff was simply not polite. When I walked in, no one greeted me. There was a crowd at the front, so I walked to check in for my reservation and the hostess, again didn't greet me, just said “they were in front of you” in a rude tone. When my guests were walking in, nobody greeted them and they had to search for where we were seated. After that, I began to take photos in the lobby with the flash on, and was told that I couldn't use flash because it could disturb the guest. That's understandable, so I stopped. Once we were seated, we were told we had to order everything at once because they portion and time everything out. They had the worst possible timing. The appetizers came out about 30 minutes after we ordered, normal. But the food didn't come out for 2 HOURS! Once the food came out. By then, we had somewhere else to be so I told the waitress to bring the check because we were now in a little bit of a rush because of how long everything took. It took her another 10 minutes to bring the check. Luckily, the food was really good. But if i'm going to pay for good food, I expect to be treated with decent customer service. There was ONE hostess who was very nice and I wish I got her name. She was a black girl with long hair straight brown highlights and she accommodated our request and moved us to better seating after the original hostess put us in the worst seats in the restaurant.

Delicious food. Loved the bread and cheese service to start the meal. Would travel back to Dallas just to order their spicy rigatoni again!
Aaron
Food was good - but very overpriced for what it was. Ambiance felt like you were eating in a warehouse
Absolutely love the food and the service is usually second to mone. This time was different. Its was Mother's Day and the restaurant was very crowded. We all felt very rushed to complete our meal.  it wasn't the usual laid-back, calm service we are accustomed to. This however, will not deter us from dining many more times at Carbone's!

Love Carbones from start to finish! Menu isn't large but that's ok, the food was spectacular.

Tried making reservations many times before but couldn't get a table. Finally went last weekend and was sorely disappointed. Music was a bit loud; asked for open booth, but was told it was reserved. Food was mediocre, but expensive. Waitress was not attentive. Ambience (outside of the sound) was quite nice. Doubt I will return.
Drew
The ambiance was sleek but very dark—almost too dim to fully enjoy the experience. I had high hopes for the famous Spicy Rigatoni, but unfortunately, it wasn't spicy at all, which was a letdown. Overall, the meal was okay, but I expected more based on the hype.

A win for date night. Amazing food and drinks. Highly recommend the pork chops personally.
