" Had high hopes for Carbone's based on many recommendations, but sadly it was underwhelming. The pasta was overcooked and lacked seasoning, and it felt more like a typical chain restaurant than an upscale eatery. The price didn't help either. My server was absent for long stretches which didn't help my overall experience. The ambiance seemed nice, but it can’t save the meal. I probably won’t return. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carbone's is truly my favorite place for Italian cuisine here! The eggplant parmesan blew me away; it was crispy and bursting with flavor. The warm bread with dipping oil was a perfect starter. The atmosphere felt classic, echoing the richness of Italian tradition. I could feel the authenticity in every bite. Our drinks were timely and well-made. I can't wait to come back for more wonderful meals! " (*Curated Review*)

" We chose Carbone's for our date night, excited for a lovely evening. The decor is charming and made for a romantic setting. The food was lovely too! I ordered the veal saltimbocca, and it was cooked to perfection with the flavors of sage shining through. Portions were reasonable, but the prices did add up, especially with drinks. Our server was delightful and made the experience even more special. I'd recommend it for a special night out! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Carbone's is charming and reminiscent of an old-world Italian restaurant. I enjoyed my meal overall—the chicken parm was tasty and perfectly cooked. However, the portion was smaller than I expected for the price. Service was friendly and attentive, which I appreciated. If you want a classic Italian dining experience with some delicious traditional dishes, Carbone's is a solid choice! " (*Curated Review*)

" Been to Carbone's several times and always had a great experience. The garlic bread is the perfect opener, and I particularly love their signature seafood pasta. It's flavorful and generous on seafood without being overpowering. Service is always friendly and attentive. Ambiance-wise, it's a unique blend of cozy and lively. The prices are reflective of the quality, so if you want an authentic Italian meal, this should be at the top of your list! " (*Curated Review*)

" Though my last experience at Carbone's was mediocre, I decided to give it another try due to its reputation. Unfortunately, the quality didn’t improve. My penne alla vodka lacked flavor, and the portion was underwhelming compared to the price. The decor is lovely, but I can’t overlook the critical aspect, which is the food. Service was friendly but didn’t reflect a fine dining experience. Disappointed once again. " (*Curated Review*)

" Carbone's remains a classic spot! After attending there for the past three years, I can confidently say they've maintained their commitment to authenticity. The pasta dishes are fresh, and my favorite is the fettuccine alfredo—rich, creamy, and truly indulgent! The ambiance is relaxed, making it ideal for family dinners. Every meal I've had shows that the chef is experienced and understands Italian cuisine. Highly recommend if you want a comforting Italian experience. " (*Curated Review*)
