Carbone Dallas Reviews
Can do better
Service was excellent, however the vegetarian options are limited. We only had 2 items to choose in the main entree. Quality was adequate and the eggplant appetizer was delicious. The house breads are excellent to start your evening out. Dessert was delicious as well but wouldn’t say that’s the best I have had. They ave really tried to pretty up the warehouse setting by adding greenery etc but would go to monarch to celebrate special occasion only for the $$$$ you spend here.
Missed the mark
So the atmosphere and service at Carbone's was great, but the food just did not measure up to the price point being charged. The prices here are what you would find in Vegas or at a really high end place like Monarch or The Mansion in Dallas. I do not mind spending $$$$ for a dinner, and do it all the time, but the food has to measure up. Here are a few specifics. 1. The Calamari was fine, nothing special, 2. The Jumbo Shrimp Scampi were just not good and at $32 per piece was just a bad deal all around. 3. The Lobster Ravioli was very firm and did not have a whole lot of taste, 3. The Dover Picatta was nicely de-boned table side, but the sauce was very bland leaving not much but a grilled fish. The wine list is great, especially if you are a Barolo lover, and I would say that was the best part of the meal. Perhaps it was just an off night in the kitchen, but we will not return.
Terrible experience
Extremely disappointed with the whole experience. Service was lacking, food was mediocre and it was absolutely terrible.
CARBONE DALLAS is HEARTLESS
CARBONE DALLAS is HEARTLESS - Carbone Dallas has a cancellation fee if you don't cancel the reservation 12+ hours prior. My family flew in for parents’ weekend to visit one of our kids who is in college. We needed to tell our kids sadly that one of their parents have cancer and did once we flew in. Needless to say, we ended up canceling our reservations for that evening with over an hour prior to our reservation time as our family didn't want to go out. We were unable to speak to someone but had to respond on RESY via text to cancel it. I received a $300 cancellation charge and I know the table didn't go empty as it's a big weekend for parents coming in to visit their kids. I tried emailing the restaurant 4 times. Asking if we can reschedule. NO RESPONSE. I also emailed the restaurant and corporate to explain. NEVER HEARD BACK. Life happens but I find how they handled our situation heartless. Also, I did eat here a previous visit and their lettuce on the Ceaser salad was so pink, which for their price point it should not be pink. So many other amazing restaurants in Dallas vs a company that is brutal with life happenings and don't respond.
Spectacular experience!
I have had a fantastic experience at Carbone's, thanks to the manager Mark Jodinskas. The service was flawless, the food and cocktails were spectacular. I recommend Carpaccio followed by the Spicy Vodka Rigatoni. Not that this was a deciding factor for me, but Kim Kardashian has said that the Rigatoni dish was her favorite pasta dish ever. I highly recommend this pampering experience!
One of my favorite restaurants in Dallas.
Cannot WAIT until they re-open under a different name. Classy atmosphere, good service, and one of the best Italian spots in Dallas. The garlic bread with ricotta and toasted ravioli are delicious. LOVE the chicken parm, shrimp scampi, and and totellini. The carrot cake is to die for! I need info on when they will re-open!! This is my first time not going for my birthday - so sad!
UPDATE: Carbone's is CLOSED!!! What happened???Im sure
UPDATE: Carbone's is CLOSED!!! What happened???Im sure there are other things on the menu are good, but I can't seem to stop ordering the Creste With Gravy...it's DELICIOUS! This is just a great little Italian place: definitely worth a visit! We've been here numerous times and have never been disappointed.
A delightful restaurant with a neighborhood feel.
Ventured here for lunch and had the lasagna with garlic bread and salad. The pasta was delicious, sauce was fragrant, and cheese was plentiful. I just heard they're closed and hope they come back because Dallas needs to hold on to its locally owned GOOD restaurants, not just the burger and bbq spots.
One of the best authentic Italian restaurants I have in
One of the best authentic Italian restaurants I have in Dallas. Fresh made pasta and ingredients! I have never been disappointed here. Always a delightful and delicious experience. Can't recommend this place enough.

We love this place!! We have tried almost everything on the menu and never had a bad dish. Customer service is always great and professional! 10/10 recommend!
Miserable
The patio area has dozens of outdoor heaters overhead and beside tables — stuffy, miserable atmosphere. Heat blasting at us from every angle. I asked if temperature could be reduced and was told No. My phone was on the table, and shut off because it overheated. I had to go outside several times just to get fresh air. People in line for the bathroom commented on the awful, burning heaters. The couple at the table next to us also expressed displeasure at the heating system. Food was decent, but climate ruined the evening.
The vodka tortellini is amazing! The spaghetti is ok but
The vodka tortellini is amazing! The spaghetti is ok but the meatballs are incredible! I have to add the portions are small but the sauces are heavy & filling. My favorite appetizer is the RICOTTA & bread!! It's delicious. The location, atmosphere are nice and dressy. I love getting a Togo from here when I'm feeling lazy! It's a must try dallas jewel!
My linguine with shrimp scampi really lacked flavor.
I don't know if it was because it was 30 minutes until close but it just really had no flavor. The wine was great and great atmosphere of people and vibes though. Will still give a second chance, might of just been an off night.
Delicious! Everything I ordered was hot fresh and well
Delicious! Everything I ordered was hot fresh and well worth the 35 min wait. Server was kind and efficient. Filled out water glasses without us needing to flag him down or ask. I don't have a picture of the Caesar salad but the lettuce as crisp, dressing tasted good, and the croutons were house made which was a huge plus! My family and I will definitely be back.
This place was incredible.
I love the intimate atmosphere. They lost a star because the lasagna was a little bland and overcooked. However the bruschetta, the vodka pasta and chicken Parmesan were all so incredible. They also have the most incredible carrot cake for dessert. It's moist and the frosting is not too sweet. It was the perfect way to end the meal
Literally incredible!! The Italian food here just tastes
Literally incredible!! The Italian food here just tastes fresh and homemade!! I truly enjoyed the eggplant parm and the ricotta with garlic bread (RGB)! The RGB is a perfect amount of crispy and soft. Get it!

Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Carbone Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Carbone Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Carbone Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Carbone Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
