Carbone is an Italian restaurant with locations in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of Manhattan and elsewhere. The original restaurant opened in 2013, and replaced another Italian establishment, the 90-year-old Rocco Restaurant. Founders Mario Carbone and Rich Torrisi deliberately modeled the menu, decor, and atmosphere on mid-century Italian restaurants popular in New York City. The Rocco sign in front of the restaurant has never been removed.

History[]

The restaurant's founders had previously opened a deli, Torrisi Italian Specialties, and a sandwich shop, Parm.[1] Before opening Carbone, the founders conducted research by visiting Italian restaurants throughout New York City.[2]

In 2015, a second Carbone opened in Las Vegas,[3] located within the Aria Resort and Casino.[4] The restaurant's New York City location began offering take-out during the COVID-19 pandemic,[5] which led to crowding outside the restaurant as delivery workers and customers waited to pick up orders.[5] By April 2021 the restaurant had stopped offering food for pick-up or delivery.[6] The New York location added a weatherproofed structure for outdoor eating in late 2020, featuring the same floor tile and tin ceiling as the restaurant's interior.[7] A Miami location opened in January of 2021.[8] Carbone also has a location in Hong Kong.[9]

Reputation and ratings[]

The New York Times food and restaurant critic Pete Wells first reviewed Carbone in 2013, giving it three out of four possible stars.[10] The restaurant first received a Michelin star in 2013, when it was added to the 2014 edition of the Michelin Guide to New York City.[11]
