This was our favorite restaurant while visiting Vegas.
We came here for our anniversary and although it was not acknowledged at all it was still excellent. The Cesar salad, the vodka pasta, and the chocolate cake were phenomenal! I can't wait to come back and have this again.
🙂
This place is pricy let's start there.
I would say if you're going to estimate price per person and are going to order appetizers, mains, and a cocktail you're looking at around $80 per person. However the food quality really is excellent. The ingredients are so fresh and the ambiance and service make this a place you have to try even if it's just once. We ordered a few things. I will say I was not impressed by the salmon it was not as flavorful as I'd hoped but everything else really was great. We ordered a couple of appetizers the Caesar salad and octopus which are both highly recommended. The stars of the show were the Ribeye Diana and the spicy rigatoni. These are two things I would say are a must try. I'm not a hog fan of sauce on steak as I like the beef to speak for itself. But this dish just works. The pasta was also very fresh and the sauce couldn't have been better not too heavy but defiantly pact with flavor. The highlights of the meal forsure. I'm fact they're were so good I didn't even get a photo before I ate them.
🤢
Food 4/5- spicy rigatoni is their signature menu item.
We were told that the portion size is going to be small before ordering it but it turned out to be much bigger than I thought.Service 1/5- the service was very interesting. Given we were in Vegas, there aren't much active things to do so I was not very hungry throughout the trip. So I wasn't feeling like ordering a lot. However, our waiter was very pushy. From the very beginning, he was not content about us not ordering drinks. Then he kept telling us that the food we order was not going to be enough- and it turned out to be more than enough. We didn't want dessert and even though we said no to dessert we were asked 3 times. During the whole time we spent at Carbone, our waiter never took "no" as a "no" at once but it took multiple tries. It was honestly quiet frustrating. Even when we were paying at the end, we were staying at Aria and he kept asking if we will charge to the room- which we had already said no and said will pay at the spot. I am not sure why communicating was so difficult. We were done eating so quickly because we were so uncomfortable and pressured. Also this place was not easy to get a reservation but there were many empty seats in the restaurant. If you are looking to eat and drink endlessly, it might not be a bad choice to dine here but if you just want a simple meal, I'd say stay away.

Was in town for a conference and attended a vendor dinner
Was in town for a conference and attended a vendor dinner here. It exceeded all the hype and high expectations. Standouts included the pasta with mushrooms, chicken scarpariello, salmon oreganata, and the lemon cheesecake. Will definitely return the next time I'm in town.

My husband and I were on our mini honeymoon this week and
My husband and I were on our mini honeymoon this week and after discovering there was a carbone here I was very excited because I've always wanted to try the one in New York and come for the famous spicy vodka pasta. We made reservations and came tonight for dinner on our last night. The ambiance is beautiful, feels like old Italy but also classy New York. We had a super cute little private booth that felt very romantic. The bread service and cheese and salami was delicious. The service was also great however they definitely give you the vibe that you feel pressured to order more. It felt a little uncomfortable because they're pretty pushy about it saying things like your food is gonna take a while to come out, you don't want any starters or a salad? And reminding you it's meant to be in courses. We truly felt pressured to add a side to our dinner because they seemed kind of annoyed when we were only gonna order two things, as we would anywhere else. It's not even about the fact that it's expensive, it's just the simple facts that for two people we don't need appetizers, salads, entrees and sides. I get full of bread. Aside from that though they are very nice and made our experience being on our honeymoon feel special as they congratulated us and checked on us often. And the fact they come and cut the rack of lamb in front of you then serve it was also pretty cool. The food:The lamb chops- these were market price and when we got our bill my husband was shocked they were $95 because he said they were not worth that at all. They were good but nothing amazing. They come with 3 sauces but other than that very simple. The spicy vodka pasta- I didn't taste even the slightest bit of spice. It was very tomatoey and honestly not really in a good way. And the pasta was too al dente in my opinion. Some of it was just plain hard. But the creaminess of it was good. The potato's cooked in duck fat were the start of the meal honestly. For my birthday and our honeymoon they brought us out these little cake things and that was sweet. The food was average, we ate it. Mostly because in my husbands family they don't waste food so that's now a trait I've picked up too and we're leaving tomorrow so we weren't gonna bother taking left overs but over all the portions are small and the food is average, and it's not worth the overpriced menu. the ambiance is cool and the service is a well oiled machine other than the pushiness of ordering more food and boosting your tab. It was not worth the hype I've been hearing about for years but aside from the food it was a cute romantic evening we were wanting so it wasn't all bad.
😍
Fine dining with a hip vibe.
It will cost you a pretty penny but worth the investment. Service was top notch, ambiance hip yet not over the top, really busy, and food outstanding. We had our server help us order and she made excellent suggestions. I would definitely return when I can save a few dollars to dine there again. Only critique is that they could just turn the music down a tad. It's pretty up beat with the reataurant full and the tunes just made it a bit hard to socialize and hear. In summary a top notch Vegas dining experience.
🤢
The restaurant itself is beautiful.
. that's why the 2 stars but what is with the music? 50's oldies? So random. Anyway, our server was super pushy. We'd been there maybe 10 minutes, barely got our drink order and she tells us "you need to put your order in now because we have a lot of big parties tonight". I replied and let her know we weren't ready. She tells us again "ok but if you don't order now it's going to take a while".. why is a restaurant booking more large parties at the same time than they can handle?? Moving on.. we ordered apps for the table. The server practically insisted we order 2 of everything which we refused and thank God we did because it would have been way too much. When we ordered entrees family style, again she insisted we get two of everything which would have been a ridiculous amount of food. The octopus was rubbery, could barely cut it. We had to ask for plates to eat off of, and then ask that they please clear the dirty plates we were literally stacking for them. We had to ask multiple times for drink refills and utensils. My husbands chair was kicked multiple times by wait staff with carts. Our server was super knowledgeable about the food, I'll give her that.. and we are not super worried about spending money but when when someone orders items that show on the menu as "MP" you should probably let them know if that steak is $250! Yes that's right, the porterhouse is $250 and the server didn't tell us.. found out when we got the bill, and on top of that they overcooked it. We ordered it medium, it was definitely well done. And they served it to us sliced so they definitely knew and served it anyway. We barely ate any of it because of the overcook. In the end they took it off the bill after we complained so that's good. Our bill for 6 people was $1800. We were shocked. We felt the server was simply trying to turn our table faster and sell us way more than needed. For practically $300 per person I'd expect to be wow'd and it wasn't even close. I left feeling like I just wasted my money. We will not be back.

This restaurant looks like you rolled out of the 50's ,
This restaurant looks like you rolled out of the 50's , beautiful place and everyone that works here is fantastic .Make sure you book reservations way ahead of your trip if you want to go ... ok now to the food there was 6 of us and the server recommended doing family style which consisted of picking out a bunch of different dishes and sharing which was smart cause the prices on the food are on the spendy side . We got the vodka pasta , spaghetti, veal parmesan, Caesar salad , ribeye, ravioli. Honestly I've had better Italian food but it wasent terrible . Also if you order wine make sure you look at the prices if not you can order bottles of wine that are really expensive
🙂
We arrived 3 minutes past the reservation time.
I had texted that with traffic and one guest had an injured foot...we were running late. The hostesses explained that our table had been given away. When we asked her to help us find a solution, she said: "if you help me out I can make something work for you."One person from our party offered her some cash. When she saw the money she stated " it will take more than that". That's when I asked for the manager. The manager graciously helped find a solution unaware of the requested bribe.Not a great way to start what turned out to be a really nice and very delicious dinnerCarbone: Is this really the first impression you want your employees to make for your patrons?
🙂
Excellent High-Class Italian Restaurant
The food here is excellent and served in nice, large portions. It's authentic and absolutely delicious. It's also a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for and the servers are happy to do splits if you ask. They have a nice wine selection as well. There are two rooms - one is quiet and intimate and the other is vibrant and loud (with the bar).
My only complaint is that the pretentious little girl who seated us was dripping in bad attitude. Even though we had reservations and were dressed appropriately, it was clear that she loathed seating us (which made no sense) and then made an audible huff when we didn't want to accept our initial booth table assignment - preferring a table instead. I'm surprised that a high-class restaurant like this would keep somebody like her on staff. There was no visible manager present for a complaint.
I feel these other reviews must be paid for or from people who have never had better than mediocre Italian food. It was hard to get a reservation but we called back a couple times and managed to sneak in around 8pm, only to witness several people tip the hostess $20 for a table and everyone else who planned ahead got bumped and were noticeably frustrated having to wait 30-60 minutes past their reservation. Whatever, it's Vegas. While the dress is business casual, there were several highly intoxicated fools dressed like bums who had no issue being seated while their trashy dates screeched like drunk sluts with random fluids down their front sides. This should have been a big red flag!Moving on to the food, we were very excited and the dishes "look" amazing. The starters they bring you were "fine" but not up to par with the quality of nearby restaurants like Il Mulino. We tried several options like the Veal Parm, a tortellini special with black truffles, those duck fat potatoes, several pasta dishes, salads, sides, etc. The waiter sold us on everything, and was very good at his job. However, it was all bland and overall not well balanced. The veal parm especially was probably the worst I have ever had, and I think they charged around $80 for it; a bad cut of meat, way too much breading, and no real flavor. Then it hit me, this place is not about the food, it's about the experience. You're paying for the location in Vegas, feeling special to get a reservation, the highly trained staff, the loud music & atmosphere, etc. Everything except the food! By dessert time the waiter caught on and knew we were on to his ruse, so he was honest and said all the desserts were bad except maybe the cheesecake. I'm trying to think of a way to compare the food in a way that most people can relate. Have you every been to a nationwide chain like Carabbas, Maggianos, or Macaroni Grill? Yeah, those are all MUCH better than Carbone at a fraction of the price and level of frustration. If you're party is highly intoxicated and you want a great dining experience regardless of how the food tastes, then come here. Mario Carbone needs to get his restaurant in order.
😍
Incredible atmosphere and delicious food to match.
Reservations open 30 days in advance so set your alarms! Spots fill up quickly and restaurant is reservations only. Recommend the Veal Parmesan (what they're known for) and vodka rigatoni. For an app, try the meatballs (off menu!)
🙂
Carbone is a beautiful restaurant with fantastic service.
Started with complimentary bread service that included salami, fresh Parmesan, pickled cauliflower & of course multi options of bread. So good! Next was the Gorgonzola salad. Terrible! Overdressed pasty mess with absolutely no acid. We asked for balsamic & it made it 100% better. We were told the chef didn't think the vinegar went with the salad. Huh??? Spicy rigatoni was good but wasn't spicy at all for me. More tomato foward with a hint of guanciale flavor & tiny bit of spice. Cherry ribs were very tasty however they were on the tough side & were hard to pull away from the bone. Huge portion though! Overall the experience was good & I would return for another try.
🤢
Mediocre food with a side of horrible service.
Save yourself the wait time and expense. There are plenty of other options that offer better food and service. This has to be by far the worst service in Vegas. Just plain RUDE. Forgot the waiters name but he claimed to be for Mexico City.
😒
I'm sorry but I don't understand the hype around Carbone.
The food isn't spectacular, especially for the price you're paying!The classy old school service is the best part about this place (especially the crumb sweeping)I don't think I'll be back. Go to a David Chang restaurant instead
😍
Uh for any negative reviews, it's hard to fathom.
Every dish was amazing but the experience was phenomenal. Our party felt like we were the only ones there.... the servers were incredibly attentive. Advice: share a myriad of dishes. Don't omit the Diane steak- perfection!
Does it match the hype? Not quite in my opinion. The most popular dish, the spicy rigatoni, was fine but fell short of wow-ing me. I actually enjoyed the chicken massimo, shrimp su'modo, and the lobster ravioli more than the rigatoni. The menu is pricey as the ambience and service matches the "fine dining" feel but also be prepared for "fine dining" portion sizes. If you're up a couple bucks from the casino, this could be worth trying.
😍
OMG what a fantastic meal & an amazing experience! So
OMG what a fantastic meal & an amazing experience! So much food, such amazing cocktails, I can't believe all the times I have been to Vegas I have never been here! Extensive wine list & a great place to entertain a client, which we were doing! Desserts cannot be missed - and PLEASE try the bananas foster! Bonnie was, simply put, the most incredible server I have ever had, ANYWHERE! I cannot wait to get back to Vegas & dine here again!

Down the street from where I live, Luigi, at this local
Down the street from where I live, Luigi, at this local Italian delicatessen serves up reliable Italian food starting from the Italian salads, pasta dishes and even some truffle infused items. He also has cans of caviar I can buy. This joint, an excellent establishment with snooty Maitre'd and good looking waiters who could appear as a thespians at one of the Vegas shows, make this place seem quite special and trendy. We ordered a lot of food that included Prosciutto, Foie Gras, Gorgonzola salad, Tortellini with truffles on top, caviar with mozzarella cheese, veal, porterhouse steak and a couple desert dishes. Basically enough to feed a small curling team. First dish - Parmesan Raggiano comes out to feed the appetite in the beginning. Good stuff but Luigi has that too.Gorgonzola salad was the second dish. Too oily. Luigi's is better.Prosciutto with truffle on top - Good. Luigi has the regular prosciutto but no truffle. it's very thin. Not sure that is good or bad.Foie gras. Acceptable. nothing special. Luigi has it too.Tortellini with truffles.--- Again Luigi has the same thing. You can ask for truffles. same as his. Caviar with mozzarella cheese - below average. At Luigi's you just buy the caviar. You know what you are getting. Good caviar separates once in your mouth or when you roll them out on bread. Also they need to start popping and start to let out egg juice when you bite. The not so good ones just become a mush in your mouth with no fish taste. At this joint, it was the latter.Porterhouse steak - below average. Granted it's hard to get the temps right due to the cut. But really nothing special here. Luigi doesn't have this but I'm not typically looking for it at an Italian place.Deserts were acceptable. Service - slow. Painfully slow. Budget a 3 hour ordeal just to eat here. Note to self - a longer meal does not equal nice meal.Wine selection is good - but Vegas over priced. Brunello selection is surprisingly thin. Sommelier's suggestions were OK but Luigi (an Italian man in his late 50's) could have done better.Cost - Aprox. $300 per person. At Luigi's (even assuming you got the top quality caviar, cheese, truffles yourself), you'd be crazy to spend $150 per person.
Our favorite in Las Vegas. We love Bernie behind the bar and always choose to sit at the bar. The food is amazing, the service is top notch, and the atmosphere is great!
We have never had a bad meal here and Bernie goes above and beyond to take care of us!
The bad: 1) What's the point of reservations when you don't honour the reservation time? We were seated 15min after our reservation time and had to stand outside the restaurant with other waiting guests. Some told us they waited over 25min2) The lady at the welcome desk was very unprofessional. She had an argument with other guests right in front of everybody. She was clearly agitated and, as a result rude to everyone else 3) Some waiters in vegas just love to sell, sell, sell. It's quite annoying. We already knew what we wanted to eat and told our waiter. He insisted to give us his whole spiel for 5min and was then disappointed that we didn't take his recommendations, saying "that's it???" when I gave him my order 4) Having said that, my pasta dish was underwhelming. I had the mushroom pasta. While the portion was massive, it wasn't what I expected at all. The good: The restaurant is beautiful 1) Other waitstaff was incredibly nice. We wish Ian would have been our waiter instead2) the ambiance is beautiful and I love that we sat in a booth - everything felt quite private 3) The veal masala was a generous portion and tasted delicious
😒
My boyfriend and I planned our trip to Vegas for several
My boyfriend and I planned our trip to Vegas for several months and after hearing so many rave reviews Carbone was a "must do" for both of us. We had a reservation for 7pm on a Tuesday, but we were shown to our table around 7:15. It took a while for our server to stop by and we immediately told him we had a show at another hotel at 9:30. He told us that wouldn't be a problem and he would time the courses out so we would have a nice meal. While the server and the assistant were both very nice they seemed to be either short staffed or not paying attention. Service was very slow. We waited 20 minutes for our drink order and then another 10 after we asked our server to check on them. The food courses had similar wait times. Our main entree finally came out around 8:50. As it was dropped off we asked for the check. We took a few bites and immediately had to ask to have it wrapped up. We did not have time to wait to speak with a manager as we needed to get to a show on the other end of the strip. Today I called Carbone and asked to speak with a manager about our experience. After waiting on hold for about 10 minutes I spoke with Nikki who listened to my feedback, but ultimately told me she could not refund any part of the bill or offer any other solution. Nikki stated a typical meal takes 2 hours which wouldn't have been an issue if we were seated and served on time. While the food was delicious as expected I likely would not recommend this location to others. Food recs: table side Caesar salad, secret menu meatballs, spicy rigatoni, veal parm
😍
A Great First Time at Carbone
Our party of six had a business meeting at this restaurant. The service was exceptional and made sure they came over to the table only when we were ready for the next course. The seafood appetizers were top notch, the entrees of seafood and steaks were perfect and the desert was a great end to the evening. Would highly recommend.
🤢
They play too many marketing games, they make 20 people
They play too many marketing games, they make 20 people stand out from after their reservation and you walk in and 1/2 the tables are empty. The food is average at best. I have been to the miami and Las Vegas restaurants and I cannot believe how the hype can create a business not the food. Lets see how long it can last?
😒
$85 corkage fee?? The linguini vongole had way too much
$85 corkage fee?? The linguini vongole had way too much jalepeño / red pepper flakes and about 6 small clams. The spicy rigatoni was just ok but way overrated given all the hype. The waiter also seemed annoyed that we only ordered 4 items off the menu and was visibly bothered that we brought our own bottle wine. One and done and won't be returning.
🙂
The bread and salad was probably my favorite part here.
The pasta was a bit too Al dente for me, but good flavor. I also would say the portions are great for sharing and would say you can easily over order.The dessert presentation was amazing and also the banana foster was delicious!
😒
I really thought I was going to love this place.
It was a recommendation from a good friend of mine and I made a reservation to eat here on my Vegas trip because of that. It was actually pretty easy to make a rez last minute, but that's probably because I went on a Monday night.Carbone was visually pleasing. Old school Italian style with comfortable seating. My dad and I were given a table where you kind of sit side-by-side in a little semi-circular nook with the table pushed it. It would have been a romantic vibe had I been with my boyfriend. Lol! But it was a very nice table.The service was top notch. Our waiter was very knowledgable, polite and present at the right times. The courses came out on a good click and the drinks we had were very good! Even the music was awesome - lots of Motown and old school hits - something to shake your shoulders to while eating.So, why the 3 stars? Everything was amazing except the food! I was expecting really amazing and fresh Italian food. I'm from Boston and both of those things (Italian food and seafood - together and separately) are things we do well. Especially at this price point and in Las Vegas? So disappointing. We started with the $33 octopus appetizer. I love octopus, but this was very rubbery and had no flavor. For my main, I went with the the supposedly famous spicy rigatoni vodka. Spicy? No. Fresh tasting pasta? No. I'm no chef, but I felt like I could have made that with some store-bought pasta sauce and rigatoni with a little paprika or something. It was not mind blowing. I've actually had HelloFresh pasta meals that were better. I'm not gonna lie - I don't know whether my dad got eggplant parm or veal parm, but I think it was veal. $69. It was "fine". All in all - this restaurant was pretty with great service and music. I'm not sure if it was an off night or if they make bank on people from places that don't have good seafood or Italian food. Boston has both, so I know better. And Carbone had neither. 3 stars for overall experience, but the food was definitely a letdown. I won't return on my next Vegas trip.
😍
Good was delicious! With very great service! We celebrated
5/5 by
Me R. on 02/14/2022
Good was delicious! With very great service! We celebrated our anniversary here with my husband and had a really great time. We will come back again.
😍
So here I am eating at Carbone.
I decided to write this review during my dinner as to not fall into a food coma later and forget. My entire experience eating up at the bar was amazing. First off hands off to the bar staff. These guys work their butts off right in front of me, but never too busy to check on me or a little banter here and there. The bread service alone is worth coming here. The tomato focaccia bread is amazing by itself, but being served with spicy salami and cuts from a block of aged Parmesan only made it better. The baked clams were good, but not special. However the veal parm WAS special. I was afraid it wasn't going to be filling....no more concern there. It was easily plenty for a hearty appetite. Drinks were also spectacular! Overall this is really a 5 star Italian place without a doubt. Just make sure to make reservations as this place was packed on a Tuesday night in mid February
😍
Came here with my friend and the food and service were next
Came here with my friend and the food and service were next level! We sat in cute little booth in the second dining room to enjoy our dinner. We started with the Octopus Pizzaiolo appetizer was perfectly cooked and had great flavors! I would highly recommend! We also got the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was soooo delicious, I still crave it! Lastly we spilt the TORTELLINI AL RAGU also very good!! I highly recommend trying Carbone! It's worth the $$$.
We have been going to this restaurant for years as a family. We go there for special occasions for big events! However this last Friday night we were there, a gentleman walked in was seated with his group at a table right next to ours. The patron was smoking a cigar and he asked if he could continue smoking, and the hostess proceeded to tell him that he could not it was a non-smoking establishment. He continued to smoke a cigar, we asked him to please put it out because we had two of our family members who have asthma and it was beginning to bother them. When we did that he decided to antagonize us and try to start some thing. There was a little altercation staff came over, and did nothing to stop the situation move the other party and explain to him he could not smoke a cigar. At that point we were flabbergasted that nothing was going to be done, and in fact the manager was extremely rude told us to please leave and was trying to escort us out. I’m a little confused we were not the ones doing something wrong we nicely asked about the cigar being put out, but I guess that doesn’t matter. We will continue to let everybody know about this establishment we have a lot of local friends that we suggest go there for a nice dinner lots of family and friends are coming to Vegas and we will not solicit them again!

It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!
