    Wow! Lives up to HIGH expectations. Favs were spicy rigatoni (obvi) and lobster fra Diavlo. And be prepared to be serviced like royalty and pay for it!! 🍝🍷

    Reinvented classics soar, especially baked clams, rigatoni alla vodka, veal Parmesan, and chocolate layer cake. – Green Guide Editor

    Sit in the back. Be sure to order the veal parmagiana despite the outrageous price. And avoid the chicken dishes. Save room for the lemon cheesecake. Overall a superb dining experience.

    Traditional Italian restaurant that lives up to the hype. The linguini with clams was great and the meatballs are a must order

    Mozzarella (with the added flair) was special, everything else just seemed flat. Get better Italian elsewhere, without breaking the bank.

    The kind of place you go to for the scene, and the ambiance, which is terrific. It's a total throwback. The food is good, but not great. Try the Spicy Rigatoni Vodka & the Caesar Salad alla ZZ.

    Worth every pretty penny--the ribs, oxtail cavatelli, spicy rigatoni, and carrot cake are all standouts.

    Try the amazing scampi and the rigatoni alla vodka. Incredible space - looks like a classic Italian gangster joint from a bygone era.

    Tasting Table says: From the Torrisi and Parm guys... Expect the classics, done right: linguine and clams, veal Parmesan, chicken scarpariello and lobster fra diavolo.

    I have no clue how they make the rigatoni so good. To boot it's a nice, classic, unpretentious atmosphere

    The pricey ($54) veal parm is incredible, as are all the pastas, the meatballs, and the carrot cake. Great cocktail and wine list as well.

    Cliche but the spicy rigatoni is unbelievable. Tough to get a reservation but we’ll worth it.

    The food was worth the prices-get the beef carpaccio, the Caesar salad (made tableside), veal parm, and potatoes dogana. Tiramisu is skippable.

    The lasagna here is too die for. Only make a certain # per night or weekend. I don't remember which but it's limited.

    Grab a glass of wine and ask for their mozzarella. I have no idea what they soak it in, but it's mind-blowing.

    Honestly pretty overrated. We had 3 pastas (4 if you count the one we sent back). All well over-salted. Spicy rigatoni was pretty forgettable. Much better Italian food elsewhere (Pepolino, Lupa).

    For their ultra luxe version of veal parm, Carbone uses premium veal from Pat LaFrieda, plus house-made mozzarella and a bright, unfussy tomato sauce. It is the platonic ideal of a veal parm. Read more
