Worst dinner I’ve ever had, the only good part was the bread. The minestrone soup made everyone at the table gag, the squid ink pasta was bad, the vodka pasta was nothing special. This place is NOT worth the price please don’t go here!

An icon in New York. Rumor has it getting a table at the original Carbone is impossible. I also here that a lot of the native New Yorkers come to Vegas to eat at Carbone because they can’t at home. So I was pretty impressed with the food. Must haves are the baked clams, meatballs, lobster ravioli. to name a few. The wine list was impressive, Great list of italian wines. The service was also great. Issue that stopped me from going to 5 stars. I got stuck at a table with a fake plant drooping over me. Did not like that much. I also found out after our dinner that there is a much nicer dinning room in the back. You have to ask to be sat there when you make your reservation. As far as italian restaurants go in Vegas this is a must visit. Just don’t forget to ask for the dining room. I will be back.

There’s already a billion Italian restaurants within walking distance of this one, serving basically the same food at price points of varying exorbitance, so why would you choose this one? Ambiance! The shtick here is over-the-top retro Dago chic: checkered linoleum floor, obnoxious doo-wop blaring, tacky gilt accents and a massive fountain of crystal jizz doubling as a chandelier, aggressively spooging an unimpeachably Hi-Class aesthetic over everything. Basically, it’s like being on the set of Goodfellas. Fabulous! Lest you think I’m being overly snarky, their advertising confirms that ambiance is their focus — «Every meal deserves a captain,» as in, this goombah lunk in a burgundy velour suit who schmoozes you, takes your order, takes your photo, tells you the specials and answers your questions about the menu. A separate«front waiter» actually brings you the food, and a back waiter(i.e. busser) comes around to crumb your table and refill your water glass and whatnot. Meanwhile there’s also a sommelier and a cheese guy who comes around spearing chunks off a giant wheel of parmigiano reggiano… because that’s how they used to do/still do in hi-class places. Even, apparently, places with linoleum floors and ear-splitting doo-wop. Even tho food isn’t the priority here, and even tho I’m not a fan of Italian, what I had was REALLY good: truffle beef carpaccio, Caesar salad, antipasti, assorted baked clams, penne alla vodka, veal parmigiana, cheesecake. Even the freaking bread basket was exceptional(thanks to the guy with the cheese wheel). Drinks were also above standard — I had a negroni and my friend had an old-fashioned, and both were fantastic. The sommelier paired wines for us with each dish, and those were all great, too.(No wonder I feel like shit today… I just realized how much I ate and drank last night. Ugh!) I should note that I wasn’t paying for any of this, so that probably made everything taste a LOT better… as the only dago joint on the Strip MY budget allows for is the Sbarro at Ballys. I didn’t even look at the prices of anything, but I’m assuming because it’s at the Aria they are probably exorbitant… so be warned. Anyway, I would definitely come here again, if only to sit in the fabulous bar area and sip a Campari — but next time, I would wear some kind of chiffon frock, with my hair sprayed black and teased into a beehive. Hit me up if you want to go – I’ve got a zoot suit and xtra-large jug of Dippity Do you can borrow; bonus points if there are blood spatters on your shoes. We can pretend it’s 1962, and that you just got out of jail and I’m about to embark on an uninterrupted 20-year span of pregnancies. The ambiance here is so legit, it’ll really feel like we fell thru some kind of wormhole. Until one of us has to hit the head — the fun stops jarringly and abruptly once you enter the bathroom, which has zero charm. I’ve seen better guinea shtick in the pissoir at Bucca di Beppo’s; step up your pishadu game, Carbone!

Was so sadly disappointed by Carbone. Pros: amazing staff, with exception to our server constantly trying to push octopus on us(nobody was interested in octopus). The handmade pasta is awesome. The sauces were good, nothing worth raving about, but the pasta itself was great. The bread is also sooo goood! Cool bar Inside Aria Cons: We were a party of 7 and waited 20 mins with reservations. Not a huge con but didnt exactly make us happy. The food overall is not up to Las Vegas or New York standards, especially for Italian food. Well its actually American Italian food. I will never eat at Carbone again for this reason: Vegas has so many great Italian restaurants and this one doesnt come close. Expensive!!! Especially for what you get.

Excited to see a NYC staple in Las Vegas accessible to west coast peeps. Located in the aria, resembles Nyc vibe with a sexy vegas twist. The maitre d is so helpful, accommodating and friendly! Along with the entire staff from bus boy to waiter to bartender! Top of the line service. The complimentary goodies in the beginning are delish! Salami and breads. mmm the menu itself is a bit overpriced. I wanted the famous veal but wasn’t paying $ 70 when eating alone only if sharing. Opted for the famous penne with vodka sauce and one meatball. The penne was too rich for me. Looked beautiful! But very intense and overrated sadly. The meatball was okay. Next time I would try the veal parm and tortellini ragu instead. I think best to only come here if sharing and having a couple bites of each dish to avoid a tummy ache from how decadent it truly is.

Food: A NYC transplant, this was a very typical LV type restaurant in terms of overpriced. The pasta however was excellent! The rigatoni in a vodka cream sauce was succulent and it was one of the dishes that you kept wanting more. Linguine & clams was also good but not as a spectacular as the rigatoni. The spaghetti held its own and prepared aldente very simply in a tomato sauce. All the pasta were in the $ 28 range but as mentioned in Vegas that seems to be the going rate. For appetizers the waiter recommended the ahi sashimi style; it was nothing special. For the entrees the veal marsala was a generous cut on the bone and fork tender but the marsala was prepared in more traditional fashion so the flavor profile was different from your typical Americanized marsala. The Ribeye Diana was excellent, very juicy, and tender and the sauce complimented it really well. The Branzino which was another recommendation from the waiter, fell flat in flavor and texture; definitely not worth the $ 68. The dessert cart was impressive and the triple chocolate cake was more than enough to share among 4. The wine list was very overpriced and would recommend bringing your own bottle or drink in the casino before dining. It’s easy to load up on the bread as the selections of garlic; focaccia and ciabatta were all very good. Service: Service started good as the appetizers and the pasta came out quickly but there was a very long wait for the entrees which made it the dinner far longer than it had to be. Though the waiter was apologetic and said he would comp our appetizer and wine the manager did not approve it. Ambiance: Very cool décor and there are 2 rooms which are separated by the bar and styled differently which made the noise level acceptable for conversation. With high ceilings, great colors and no real windows it felt like you were not in a casino restaurant which made it unique.

Excellent food but seriously overpriced, in my opinion. They say that eating at Carbone’s is like eating at your Grandmas house, but I don’t remember Grandma hitting me up for $ 300 after dinner. LOL. We came to Carbone’s while staying at the Aria for New Years. After rejecting the first two crappy tables we were offered, we were seated in a really cool booth that reminded me of the Vegas rat-pack days. A quick review of the menu let me know that the evening was not going to be cheap or even reasonable, so I sucked it up and just figured I’d enjoy the meal regardless of the cost, but I’d save the steak eating for another night(because the bone in ribeye for 2 was over $ 200). After ordering a glass of wine we decided to share a salad and a the mozzarella appetizer. We both ordered the rigatoni for the main course. The watercress /blue cheese salad came first and was truly interesting in flavor, texture, and appearance but at almost $ 20 for a small salad, not a great value. The mozzarella and prosciutto appetizer was next, and it was truly excellent. Fresh mozzarella and prosciutto made for magnificent flavors and was enough for 2. I don’t recall the price but it was really worth having. Next was the rigatoni. Although the flavor was excellent(spicy!!), it was served on a small plate with almost no presentation and for $ 27 seemed a little underwhelming. It did taste amazing but for that price, it should have been a bit more impressive. Along with the rigatoni we ordered 3 meatballs which were truly excellent. Look Unilocalers the food here is truly very good, but I just feel like there are much better values for the money in Vegas and at the Aria(try fifty 5 for some pizza!!). The service was also top notch, but I would be insistent about getting a good table as they will cram you into a two seater by the kitchen if you let them. Overall, I really enjoyed the experience, the food, and the service but I thought the meal should have been about $ 100 cheaper. If money is no object, I think you’ll have a great time here but for $ 250-$ 300, I was left feeling a little jaded. Food — 5 Stars Service — 5 Stars Price — 2 Stars Overall 4 Stars. Manga!

I’ve said before, fine dining is generally not my thing, however, on special occasions I have to «man-up» and go to an Italian restaurant fancier than the Olive Garden or Bucca di Beppo. New Year’s day was one of those days. Put on the shiny shoes, fill the wallet with crisp Benjamins and off we go to Carbone in the Aria. We got seated in a cozy red velvet booth. This is the kind of booth the waiter has to tuck you in with by pushing the table around. I planned on having adult beverages later in the evening, so I didn’t want to make myself comatose with food(or carbone-load). Fortunately, Carbone has plates, which aren’t filled with a pile of food. This was fine with me. We dined on the following food components: House salad — very good(Italian dressing) Beets Siciliana — very good(good as a plate to share) Spicy Rigatoni Vodka — very tasty(with a tiny amount of heat /medium size dish) Tortellini Ragu — tasty(cheese filling, the ragu is creamy — a relatively small dish) Bread basket — good(a mix of breads /gratis) Parmesan cheese chunks — For cheese lovers(gratis) Sliced salami — very good(gratis) White wine and a fancy wheat beer(with a name I can’t remember) — as expected(and necessary) Overall, the restaurant operated with a high level of precision. The wait staff was great. The head waiter(or possibly the Captain who was named Chris) was knowledgeable and very serious about his business. Our waiter, Keith, was serious until you broke him down a little. Underneath, he proved to be a regular guy who completely understood the need to delicately balance food intake with the need to leave room for after dinner adult beverages. Everyone treated us well. Everyone bid us farewell. I’d certainly go back(maybe just having a couple of small plates at the counter bar along with the salami and bread). Our bill for two(including tip) was about $ 150.

To get 5 stars from me is hard. For 5 stars you need to meet: great atmosphere, great staff, great music, great food, cleanliness, and the place must«flow.» Carbone meets them all. It begins with the hostess, continues to the wait staff, and goes all the way to the bus boy. They all go out of their way to make sure your evening is going well. The GM even stopped by the table to make sure everything tasted good. The atmosphere, music, and the flow was on point. Food: ~Caesar alla ZZ — made table side to your liking and is amazing ~Spicy Rigatoni Vodka — if you want a little kick to your pasta, order this. One word AMAZING!!! It’s a MUST ~Market Price NY Strip Steak — cooked to a «T» ~Potatoes Louis — Little crispy on the outside and soft in the middle ~Carrot Cake — Big slice and big flavors. This place is perfect for any occasion, whether you’re celebrating something or just going to dinner. *side note I would even go to the bar, order a glass of wine, and eat Spicy Rigatoni Vodka! LOL. Again so good!

We have a lot of Italian and«Italian» restaurants in Vegas. Some specializing in meatballs, ravioli, pizza, etc. Some are overpriced and some are reasonably priced. What makes Carbone stand out? The restaurant is nice and cozy. We were served a small chunk of Parmigiano Reggiano and a warm and delicious basket of bread including garlic bread, sesame and pizza. Chicken Massimo: Tender and juicy half of a chicken. The skin is nice, crisp and full of flavor. 4⁄5 Tortellini al Ragu: Soft pillows of pasta filled with ricotta on a bed of creamy tomato sauce. The flavors were delicate. 4⁄5 Cherry Pepper Ribs: I’m not crazy over ribs. But these are glorious. The first bite, you taste sweetness… then, things get really hot. Kind of like the beginning of a relationship… or porn if you’re single. 5⁄5 Lobster Ravioli: These were ok. I’ve had better lobster ravioli else where to be quite honest. The lobster was chopped into tiny pieces — I don’t like that. 3⁄5 Nutella Tiramisu: I was very disappointed. If you name something by the ingredient used, you should be able to taste it, right? All I tasted was lemon and maybe a hint of coffee. Where’s the Nutella??? 1⁄5 Bananas Foster: Bananas, ice cream, amaretto cookies with freshly made caramel sauce. It’s a show as your server flambés your bananas. Hot + cold, soft + crunchy = delicious fun times! 4⁄5 At the end of the meal, you get limoncello and rainbow cookies. They’re good rainbow cookies!

We had: A bottle of red The octopus appetizer The linguini fungi And the scallop entrée (plus the complimentary bread to start and lemonchello to end) Bottom line: no way the prices reflect the quality of the food. Linguini fungi bland and sad. Scallops way over salted(this coming from a salt lover, mind you). Wine list astronomically expensive. Small props to the grilled octopus app, which was very nicely done. The service was just ok. App came out way too early. we just barely got our bread served before the app was plunked on our table. Bottom line… we would not go back. And this experience would dissuade us from trying any of their restaurants back east. .

Living on he strip I am no stranger to the price that comes along with dining on the Strip. Normally the price mirrors the quality of the food, not in this case. Not only was it over priced for its quality(which was mediocre) it was also taken over by very large amounts of garlic. So much garlic on the Ceasar salad that everyone who ate it at the table immediately said«Whoa, there is a lot of garlic in this!», all you tasted was garlic. Garlic, garlic, and then some more garlic. There is so much more to Italian cuisine than garlic but that was forgotten about at this restaurant. Food– eh, I’ve had better, actually way better. Bread-Good. Service-Spotty. Atmosphere-Depressing. Music was nauseating and very loud.

Well… New favorite restaurant in Vegas. After a lackluster lunch(and crappy service) at Milos over at the Cosmo yesterday, my wife and I celebrated her 3rd annual 29th birthday with dinner at Carbone. From start to finish, this was possibly the best dining service we’ve ever had. We started with drinks obviously, and my wife, being the Ryan Gosseling fan that she is, ordered an Old Fashioned, which Carbone makes with an Apple Brandy. Perfectly balanced sweetness that she was looking for. Before our appetizers arrived, they brought out several types of garlic bread with fresh chunks of the best parmesean you’ll probably ever find, along with salami and cauliflower. I had the lobster fra DiaVolo, which may have been the best Lobster I’ve had outside of New England where I grew up. Pulled out of the shell by the captain at our table, and topped with a tomato sauce that was just enough spice to heat it up, and stop perfectly as you begin to taste the lobster with each bite. My wife had the scallops, mostly because she loves them, but I also think we were just a little full from all the free alcohol in the casino. The scallops are massive, and of course perfect. Side of the most bomb mushrooms ever, followed by banana flambé, and we were eve brought Italian cookies and house made lemon cello that was incredible. In all, the bill was nowhere near as big as we expected, which is always a bonus, but of course that’s not to say it was cheap. The service, and entire experience just made it feel like we owed much more than we were asked by Carbone. And that’s why we’ll be making this a must for every trip we make from here on.

Love this place! The staff was friendly, personable, attentive, yet didn’t take over the evening. Everything we ordered was great, but I highly recommend the meat balls, the beet salad, the fettuccine, and the roast chicken. Great place for a fancy group dinner in Vegas; not cheap, but totally worth the visit. Cocktails and wine selection are over-the-top! If you want it, they’ll have it. We commented to our server several times about how great the music was. She mentioned that guests either love it or hate it; we loved it. Lots of classics from different decades, but everyone in our group loved it. Don’t expect a quiet, intimate dinner here, Carbone is a fun, vibrant place that you’ll definitely remember. One thing I liked best about Carbone is that it’s on the 2nd Floor of Aria, away from the casino, so it’s a lot quieter outside the restaurant. Even though it’s in the hotel this place feels far-removed from the noise of the casino downstairs.

Another fantastic restaurant in Las Vegas. New at the Aria hotel, there is much buzz about this place as this NYC restaurant has seen much success since its conception. This place reminds you of old school NY — elegant, cozy, and inviting. Excellent wait staff that really knows the food and will let you know if you are ordering the right amount of food for the table. The wine list is extensive and the cocktail menu is old fashion in a good way(think Manhattan and Old Fashioned). You really can judge any restaurant by the quality of its bread basket and this place offered some delicious variety of bread such as the YUMMY focaccia bread, garlic bread, and just simple sour dough bread. Also they shaved some complimentary parmigiano reggiano and bought pickled cauliflower to the table. FRESHOYSTERS /SPICY RIGATONI: We ordered fresh oysters to start — the oysters were fresh from Long Island, which at first I was like«Oh, really… hoping for a mix of some from the west coast given that we were in Vegas» but it absolutely did not disappoint… it was sweet and had a nice kick to it from the pepper condiment atop… and plus I’m a bigger fan of the East Coast oysters anyways. We also shared the Spicy Rigatoni pasta which they conveniently split the order for the table and this was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had… perfectly al dente, simple, creamy, and delicious. I was in heaven. GRILLEDSCALLOPS /CHERRY PEPPERRIBS: For the entrée I ordered the Scallops. At this point, I was super full(must be all that bread). The scallops were cooked perfectly and had nice grill marks so you really taste the light char but still have the inherit sweetness and saltiness from the scallops. The dish was accompanied with shaved zucchini which I don’t think did much for the dish(perhaps shaved picked cucumber would’ve been a better choice). Think what really threw me off was the cilantro, mint, and basil all together in a dish. Definitely had better scallop dishes in other restaurants, but nonetheless, still great and no real complaints… although don’t think I would order it again next time. Perhaps will go for the dover sole. My boyfriend ordered the Cherry Pepper Ribs as recommended by our waiter which looked absolutely mouth-watering delish. He was only able to eat two of the three ribs since they were massive. NUTELLATIRAMISU: OMG. This was like so good on every level. So after you’re done with your meal. They bring over the dessert cart of all their special desserts and I really can’t fit any more food in my body but once they said TIRAMISU and NUTELLA all in one sentence, we had to order one and ITWASAMAZING. LIKESOAMAZING that I’d have to order this every single time. Upon receiving your bill, you get some complimentary rainbow cookies and limoncello. Wasn’t a fan of either. The rainbow cookies were very disappointing(maybe because I just had the nutella tiramisu… or maybe because I’m from Brooklyn) and the limoncello was too sweet. All in all, very happy to have tried this place and definitely will be visiting the NY location soon.

Items Selected: Semolina Bread Garlic Bread and Pizza Focaccia Spicy Pepperoni Marinated Cauliflower Peccorino Baked Clams Foie Gras Veneziana Caesar alla ZZ Tagliatelle with Shaved White Truffles Spicy Rigatoni Vodka Spaghetti Julian Fettuccine con Funghi Off-Menu Meatballs Lasagna Verde Veal Parmesan Chicken Scarpariello Carrot Cake with Ginger Icing Bananas Flambee Rainbow Cookies Limoncello Having watched Carbone open to gratuitous fanfare from more than a dozen writers and industry folks the New York import had knowingly comped, it was not until I was able to gather a group large enough to properly sample the pricy Aria restaurant that I hazard to make a reservation, the results of a nearly three-hour meal with six friends far less impressive than any of the ‘media’ will openly pronounce. No doubt a splashy space, the original channeled for much of the lavish design and showy tableside service from Captains shining in red, Carbone is the brainchild of Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone and famous for high prices for traditional«red sauce» classics the Las Vegas iteration raises the stakes even higher than the Manhattan original, a $ 64 Veal Parm and $ 75 Lasagna a mere tip of the iceberg on a menu with prices not displayed out front. Clearly trying to evoke an dining environment rare to be found in Las Vegas in the year 2015, entrance to Carbone begins at a podium of smiling young faces in front of a painting of Christopher Walken and with Rat Pack classics playing a bit too loudly overhead those with reservations are quickly whisked through an elegant lounge to one of three large rooms, the center featuring circular enclaves and several large tables with a central chandelier that speaks volumes about the restaurants intentions and unrepentant opulence. Championing the slogan«every table deserves a captain,» a concept is inherently flawed by tableside shows preventing him from appropriate steering the backstaff flow of traffic, it was nearly forty-five minutes holding enormous menus close like blankets that passed before orders were finally taken, and somehow avoiding to topple unused wine glasses while reaching for a complimentary selection of antipasti the first bites of the meal would actually prove to be some of the best and most interesting, the acid-splashed cauliflower simple yet refreshing while cured meat alongside three breads were all quite delicious, the saucy focaccia particularly quite addictive. Breaking the menu down into four-courses, though presentations of five plates requiring a show saw things slightly more staggered, round one included nine baked clams in 3×3 preparation alongside two steaks of foie gras amidst onions plus sauteed peppers and although the former proved a bit unwieldy for sharing while the liver was unctuous and well portioned, all attention was drawn to the tableside preparation of ZZ’s Caesar’s, a $ 42 double-order highlighted by the buttery croutons and sardines that was otherwise quite standard. Taking macaroni recommendations from a Public Relations executive and adding in personal preferences plus the anecdotal experience of others, course two featured four different pastas along with seven off-menu meatballs, only the $ 150 White Truffle Tagliatelle proving appropriately cooked al dente as thinner noodles bordered on ‘mushy,’ the meatballs no better or worse than would be expected for six dollars each… and certainly not enough to compensate for the uni-tinged Julian’s great flavor being marred by such a failure in execution. Onward to entrees, the Chicken Scarpariello suggested by a local Italian restauanteur undoubtedly performing the best of any savory as spicy sausage provided a decadent nest for the juicy half-bird, those enticed by the famous fried Veal Chop will be happy to know that the $ 64 tab is mostly justified by both size and virtually perfect execution, the same not to be said of a $ 75 loaf of lasagna far too heavy handed with green peppers beneath a top that was actually too bitter to be enjoyable as a result of being burned. Enjoying the company and conversation far more than the food as the clock inched toward ten it was finally with the dessert cart parked tableside that a concluding duo was selected and treated to fudgey Rainbow Cookies and complimentary Limoncello as we watched bananas flambeed tableside it was with good fortune that both the boozy fruit over ice cteam and curl of carrot cake succeeded where other plates had failed, each textbook in execution and large enough to share at comparative bargain of just fifteen dollars. ** Admittedly early in its Las Vegas lifespan and no doubt a place that will drum up tourist dollars and praise from the press to whom prices and service are tilted to please, Carbone offers a unique dinning experience compared to anything else currently on The Strip, yet failing in several basics of execution from kitchen to captain it simply is not nearly as great as it currently seems to believe.

I joined six friends to try this new restaurant in Aria. We ordered: Double order of Caesar salad Assorted baked clams Foie gras Fettuccini con funghi Spicy rigatoni vodka Spaghetti Julien Meatballs Veal parmesan Chicken Scarpariello Lasagna verde Bananas flambée Carrot cake We were started with two types of bread and each got a piece of parmigiano-reggiano. We were given menus and then we waited. It was approximately 45 minutes from sitting down and getting menus until our order was taken. The captain was busy with other tables and other things and we just waited. After ordering, it was not long until the first items came out. The good items of the meal were the Caesar salad, the foie gras, the spaghetti Julien, and the carrot cake. The Julien had a very good mixture of flavors that was interesting and quite tasty. However, there was not one pasta that was cooked anywhere near al dente. Everything was overcooked something I wouldn’t expect from a neighborhood Italian restaurant let alone one in a major Strip hotel. The poorest example for a dish was the lasagna verde at $ 75. It is a large container. It’s cut and served by the captain. The dish, however, was ruined by the burnt top. Evidently it was put under a broiler to brown the top but someone blackened part of the top and it permeated every taste I took of my share. As soon as I tasted the lasagna I said, «This doesn’t taste good.» When our group doesn’t finish everything on every serving plate – and the last piece of lasagna was not finished – you know something is wrong. We finish dishes. Not burnt ones, however. The room was quite loud. It was very crowded and the noise from conversations filled the room. The music was great. It was from my era – basically from 1955 to 1965. From the 45 minute wait, one can tell that service was a little lacking. One thing that hit me wrong in the beginning happened when the captain was going over the specials. He held a box with two large white truffles and he waved one of Carbone’s rather large menus over the truffles so we could get the rich smell of the truffles. I thought it was very patronizing. Two of us at my side of our round table had a blast of cold air coming down on us throughout the meal. We both wore our jackets for much of the meal. Having spent $ 100 including tip, I felt more than a bit disappointed. There are so many very good Italian restaurants on and off the Strip that are doing better cooking than this and charging less. Fool me once!

Wow! Stunning dining room! Warm welcome and attentive service! Every dish, their foie gras, octopus, Cesar, fish stew, veal Marsala, and banana flambé, shined with their own unique bursting flavors! Be prepared to be dazzled with the additional touches of Parmesan from the wheel; bread basket with salami; limoncello and marzipan! Will be coming here for years to come! Grazie Carbone!
