My husband and I have been going to a lot of dinner spots in Dallas and have been underwhelmed by the service until we went to Carbone tonight. We are fasting for Ramadan and our waitress Brandy was so accommodating and made sure our food came out exactly on time and was so nice. Everyone was amazing and so professional and kind. The food was excellent! Would strongly recommend.

If I could give this more than 5 stars I absolutely would. Staff was beyond kind, they would fold the napkins every time you got up. The food was nothing short of amazing. The Grandma bread, spicy rigatoni, and lasagna were my favorites. Lastly, the atmosphere was gorgeous and fit for a king. ? ???
The food and service was outstanding! From the Grandma bread, to the lasagna, to the chocolate hazelnut cake…absolutely delicious! The waitstaff is was so very attentive-well done!
Excellent dinner with client! Great service and attention to detail!

Food was great as usual. Waiter service ruined the experience. Lacking in every aspect. No where to be found as soon as we placed our order. Had to ask other servers for assistance. Not what I have come to expect coming here.

Higher quality in food and service was expected. There’s absolutely zero views, no windows, 1950 music playing and the food is not special.Food portions are too large. There are only two bathrooms! Way too little for the amount of tables.Our waitress was fantastic- it made up for the rest. Absolutely not worth waiting a month to get into.

I want to start off saying that the bill was $300, so my standards were pretty high. I will be comparing this place to nick and Sam’s, Perry’s, etcThe atmosphere itself was pretty nice, I think this is one reason people come here. It’s a nice concept, however from the outside it looks like it’s in an abandoned warehouseThe service was good but nothing over the top. For what I paid, I’ve had better service at nick and Sam’s. Every restaurant I’ve been too in this price range theyve cleaned the breadcrumbs on the table when they picked up the first set of plates. This detail was missed here.This service was slightly better than say Olive Garden.The food: I didn’t like that the chicken was only offered on the bone. I love the chicken parmesan at drakes Hollywood and expected to get something similar here. ( I think they’re owned by the same company but I’m not sure ) I didn’t. I will say the chicken was really juicy.The spicy rigatoni was good, I do recommend. The salad was expensive for no reason. $36 or something. The bread they gave use was good but nothing special. I would choose the rolls at Texas Roadhouse over them any day. We ordered the meatballs, they were good too. They charged us for every refill for our soft drinks. You would think a restaurant like this, they wouldn’t have soda out of a can.Overall I’d give it a 6/10.Will I come back, maybe for the pizza next door but not for carbone itself

It is difficult to write a negative review for a restaurant I used to love, but I cannot help it. Carbone used to be my go-to restaurant for a special occasions or any feel good meal, but after my last experience I have a hard time imagining going back. At our latest midweek reservation we waited 45 minutes to be seated for our reservation. We were directed to wait at the lounge and escorted to a lovely lounge table for 5 with our party of 6. We sat and stood patiently for drink service for roughly 5-10 minutes before seeking drinks ourselves from the bartender. After inquiring twice about our table and visiting the bar, on our own, we were seated in the patio area which they now list as "inside" service. Prior to the seating I was patient with the understanding of their limited number of "indoor" tables. After we were seated I realized that there really was no excuse the delay. They had simply become like the commercial airline service, overbooking to maximize revenue. We tried to move past the delay and enjoy the meal, but when we ordered our usual appetizers including the baratta and caviar my father said "I don't know why I ever liked this dish," and my heart sank. Not only was the service subpar, the food was mediocre. Ultimately we asked for the remainder of the food to-go, paid the check, and left. In truth I am most sad for myself...another temporarily great restaurant that I loved, doomed to soon fail and close.
This review is long overdue. My bf booked a reservation for my birthday on a Tuesday night. When we got there, we were seated on the left-hand side of the restaurant (the more causal side.) After being seated, we asked the hostess if there were any tables available on the other side as we were celebrating my birthday. She didn’t even look to check, she just said no. I’m ngl, I was a little sad about this. Whole my bf went to the front to ask another hostess, the waiter asked how my night was going and I explained the situation to him. I spoke to the waiter and I just explained to him “it’s my birthday, we were trying to get seated on the right side. They told us that there wasn’t anything available” he says “I know the somebody on that side, let me go speak with her and I’ll be back.” It took some time but just as we were about to order, the assistant manager came over (I feel so bad that I forgot her name.) She called us by name and she said, I heard y’all looking for a table on the other side, follow me. We got this perfect secluded table in the back, it was just perfect for my birthday and she apologize for the confusion she sent us a welcome beverage. We also got a lemon cello for dessert on the house, and the service was exceptional. The only reason for the four stars is because the hostess was kind of rude. Even after I explained my story, she just kinda looked at us like “OK, what do you want me to do about it,” which I did not like. Other than that, the night was perfect, thank you to the assistant manager and to the waiters who helped me out to make sure that my birthday ended nicely.

People who say Carbone is expensive must not be eating at many restaurants in Dallas. It’s not cheap but it’s not near the $$$$$ tier stuff. We spent around $350 for two people before tip. No complaints. Didn’t pick this place to try to pinch a penny.Good food, good service. Waitress knew her stuff. For the price point, I would say it’s better than most. We will be back with a larger group next time.

Love Carbone! Amazing service, food and ambience! Cozy lounge area to wait for table. All courses served on time. Entrees cooked to perfect temp. Pasta nice and al dente. Unlike many Dallas restaurants, the noise level is minimal, so you can actually carry a conversation.

Everything top notch. No italian food compares in the Dallas area. As good as New York. That crunch on the veal chop milanese , the Cesar and those baked clams! Fantastic wine and ambiance too. The best.
