Carbonara Reviews
Great visit for a first timer! Beautiful restaurant, fantastic food and amazing service!
Thanks for a great lunch. Amazing food! Awesome table side experience with the chicken parm and desserts. We will be back!
I cannot recommend this place enough! The atmosphere is fantastic, the food is delicious and the staff is superb. Our entire experience was something special. My father had the table side carbonara, my husband had the braised short rib lasagna and I had the famous chicken parmigiana ala vodka. The staff paid attention to our every need and made this dining experience so enjoyable. Next time we are in the area we will be sure to come back.

Carbonara, an Arlington, VA restaurant, offers a delightful dining experience with a wide range of delicious dishes. The menu boasts favorites such as chicken piccata, gnocchi with bolognese sauce, and chicken parmesan, all beautifully presented and bursting with flavors. The restaurant's warm atmosphere, elegant decor, and exceptional service create a memorable experience for guests. Many visitors praise the homemade pasta and the special veal parmigiana, pan grilled in a small skillet with olive oil and served sizzling straight from the oven, adding a unique touch to classic dishes. Despite some busy nights and slightly cramped bar seating, the excellent food, friendly service, and inviting ambiance make Carbonara a favorite spot. Guests often return, eager to try more dishes and enjoy the cozy decor both inside and outside during warm months.
The restaurant has received positive reviews, with customers praising the knowledgeable and attentive servers, such as Taylor and Sharron, who provide great menu suggestions and ensure prompt service. The live music is also mentioned as creating a nice ambiance for date nights. Customers have particularly enjoyed the arancini, beef tortellini, and lava cake, although one customer was slightly disappointed with the mushy spaghetti that accompanied the chicken parmesan.
