Being from Jersey, my wife had been dying to try Carbone for months. We were lucky enough to get an early reservation on a holiday weekend. Valet parking was available for 25 dollars (cash) or you could find parking nearby for cheaper. We did the valet due to the rain: When we arrived, the restaurant was just opening, so we sat at the bar for a quick drink. Cocktails were in the 20-25 dollar range and were great. After we finished our drinks, we were seated and quickly met our waitress. Food: 5 out of 5. After seeing videos on TikTok and photos on Yelp, we decided to order an appetizer, a pre-course pasta, and an entree to split. Originally I thought we would still be hungry, but this was MORE than enough food. As a pre-course the may bring out bread, cauliflower, freshly cut salami, and a chunk of Parmesan free of charge. We ordered the carpaccio, spicy rigatoni, and ribeye Diana. Holy smoke was it good. We ended up with leftovers, but highly recommend trying each. We ended with a cheesecake to split as well. It was extremely light and fluffy. We highly recommend anything on the menu. Vibes: 5 out of 5. This place gave goodfella vibes. Think godfather meets high end Italian restaurant. The restaurant has ample seating for small and larger tables as well as a good amount of space by the bar. Service: 5 out of 5. Our waitress and her team were great. They quickly came by to refill our waters and answer any questions we had about the menu. Note: This restaurant may come with sticker shock for some, but is in line with pricing in the Miami area for similar higher end restaurants. read more

Overall it's a vibe here. The staff were really nice and funny. The food was good as well. The cake menu was interesting and it had us convinced to get some. They have so much bread for you on the side as well. The pizza looking/tasting bread was so good. I'd say the food overall was good but a bit pricey but the service and vibe in there was top notch. read more

The vibes of this place are really cool and give old italian restaurant. The service was amazing, we had like 7 different staff come to our table and they were all very friendly. The food came out very fast. I got the spicy vodka rigatoni it was good but nothing outstanding. I don't think it's worth the price. One thing that helped with the prices is the different bread, pickled cauliflower, and meat and cheese it comes with. read more

Carbone - Spicy Spciy Rigtaoni Vodka - New American Near Me - Miami Beach, Florida

This review should really be a 3.5 star for the STAFF and AMBIANCE. The STAFF: Excellent customer service and ATTENTIVE. Its been awhile since I have experienced such service standards. They knew the menu well, could make recommendations, etc. The AMBIANCE: Its a very cool place. Mysterious and subdued. Definitely a place to BE SEEN! Drinks: Very good though some seemed as if they put much less liquor than what the drink really needed, i.e. various martinis we all questioned on the amount of alcohol in them. Food: First, its a very cool touch that they bring out salamis and some nice breads. Overall though we really were not impressed with the food. Calamari - Not very good. Everyone took one bite and left the rest. Pasta dishes - We ordered MANY different ones. The portion that comes out will not feed a child. One pasta was undercooked, one was over cooked and mushy. One was just OK. Fish Dish - over cooked unfortunately and this was the most expensive dish we had. Chicken - came out and was so rubbery. No one liked it. Desserts - They all looked good. Chocolate cake was the best. Banana flambe was fun to watch but the result was much less than stellar. Cost - This may just be the priciest Italian-esque restaurant that I have ever been to. Prepare to be shocked by the final bill while still being hungry. Will we go back? Probably but just for a drink at the bar. Definitely not the food. read more

What an incredible experience in Miami. Definitely go inside if you're seated outside so you can feel the vibe. They bring out to the table several different styles of bread (I will forever dream of that focaccia bread- it was amazing) and a cauliflower in oil and vinegar mixture. Our waiter suggested we share meals family style and it was a great idea. My favorite dishes were the tortellini and the spicy vodka pasta. The drinks from the bar were delicious (and string). We finished the night off with a hazelnut chocolate cake and it was heavenly. read more

This is definitely I will go back restaurant. Beautiful restaurant. The service is the star of the restaurant. Very good service and they layer it so you are always seen to. You are never looking for someone to see to you. They bring you a nice selection of breads, cheese and meats. The one thing is don't ask if the serving sizes are enough for two people because they aren't. . Get your own plate especially for one of the best pea pasta I've ever had. My Sister had the spicy pasta and she loved it. Don't skip on the steaks. My husband devoured his. He said it was cooked perfectly. They have an excellent wine menu and beautiful desserts. read more

Carbone is an absolute must-visit! Everything we ate tonight was absolutely incredible. If you want the full dining experience, make sure to dine inside the restaurant. The atmosphere has a vintage Italian American feel to it, and you'll feel like you've been transported to a little Italy with fine china and Frank Sinatra playing in the background. Not only is the atmosphere impressive, but the service is top-notch too. We were greeted by Roberto when we sat at our table, and we felt well taken care of. We started our meal with complimentary bread and pickled cabbage and onions. The calamari was the best calamari I've ever had. It was cooked to perfection and drizzled with a delicious pepper sauce. We also ordered the ribeye Diana, the spicy rigatoni, mushrooms, and potatoes. The ribeye was absolutely divine, the spicy rigatoni is worth the hype, and the sides made the meal one of the best I've ever had. We made sure to save room for dessert and decided to get the coconut lime cake with a hot tea and coffee. They serve you a giant slice of cake as expected at an Italian American restaurant. I had to take my time and savor every single bite. The coffee was absolutely amazing! It smelled incredible and tasted even better. Hats off to Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, Jeff Zalaznick, and the wonderful staff for making such delicious food and an amazing dining experience. Save me a table for next time please!! read more

This is 1 of our favorite restaurants to dine at because it has it all : beautiful ambience, great service & delicious food ! Everything is so delicious! The complimentary bread basket , cauliflower salad , salami & cheese are one of my favorite parts of dining here ! I mean, who doesn't love free food ?! I really enjoy their cauliflower starter because I would never choose to order cauliflower, so because it's gifted, I'm happy to eat it because it's so good for you and they make it tasty. Again, I would never choose to eat salami as I don't allow lunch meat in my diet, but I love eating a few pieces of salami and cheese here as it brings me back to my Italian ancestors, anti, pasta, platters growing up! We like to share their Caesar salad. Obviously the spicy rigatoni is a must, as that is what Carbone is known for. You cannot come to this restaurant and not get an order of it. It's perfect every time. This time instead of us both getting our own rigatoni, we decided to share that and the lobster ravioli. This was a great decision as they both were delicious and I would get them both again! Their desserts are outstanding, as well. You can't go wrong with any of them! read more

Visited here for my wedding anniversary and had an absolutely incredible time! From the ambiance at the entrance, the service, to the food, everything was top notch and so much better than NYC! For starters we ordered the Caesar salad, the eggplant and zucchini scapece, calamari, and of course their complementary bread/meat/pickled cauli. Not a single bad bite - but my favourite was hands down the scapece - loved the flavours and tang to the dish! So so good! For mains, we ordered the spicy rig, lobster ravioli, meatballs (off menu) and broccoli rabe - incredible! Meatballs were a table hot pick! For dessert we got the German chocolate pecan cake, so decadent and delish! HIGHLY recommend visiting for the experience, our captain Gio was incredible with our son and had us laughing all night, with another gentleman from NYC whose name I didn't catch. Incredible service, delicious food, immaculate vibes! Will be back! read more

WOW, as we walked in, we were greeted by the amazing staff. We started off the night with the classic Carbone bread and Salumi. It was super difficult not to just finish the basket. And of course, I ordered an espresso martini. It might've been the best espresso martini I've ever had. Their classic Caesar salad is amazing due to the fact that the croutons themselves are my favorite thing on earth. We ordered the spicy Rigatoni and a ribeye with some lobster pasta. It was absolutely amazing. I would 10 out of 10 come back. Such a great experience and the total restaurant setting was very much like a godfather film. I love it. read more

Book your reservation because it's worth the hype! I've heard people talk about Carbone for years and I thought it was just another Italian restaurant until I got to experience Carbone in Miami. Upon entrance, it's dark and cozy yet of scale at the same time. The noise level is moderate so it's not a candlelight romantic experience, but it's definitely something that is date worthy as well as a great place to visit with friends. The food portions are decent and everything. My party had was absolutely delicious. They do have some rotating menu options that I suggest you take advantage of. I suggest the valet parking as circling that part of Miami is not worth your time or hassle.. The customer service was outstanding and I cannot wait to go back. read more

We've been to Carbone twice now and it's one of our favorite restaurants in the states. The ambiance, interior, and service- you pay for the experience. The first time, we came on a busy weekend night and the food was so-so...grandma's bread was gummy and spicy vodka was soft and super sweet. The second time, we came on a weeknight dinner to celebrate my early 30th birthday and managed to be seated an hour before our reservation and the food was spectacular. On both occasions, we had the same waiter and had perfect service. We'll continue to keep coming back. Be prepared for a pricey bill, but come for a special and romantic dinner where you leave completely stuffed. Our favorites - complimentary apps: my boyfriend loves grandma's bread, but my favorite is the garlic bread. We both enjoy bites of the pickled cauliflower and parm throughout the meal. - spicy vodka rigatoni: perfectly al dente with the right savory/sweet balance. This is a must-order - lobster fra diavolo: so good- very flavorful. - veal parmesan: so tender and cooked perfectly. My boyfriend loved this as is, but I would order it without the marinara and mozz next time as just the cutlet and fried rib. - chocolate hazelnut cake with vanilla ice cream: a combination of my favorite flavors. The warm sauce combined with the moist cake and cold ice cream? Divine. - lemon curd cheesecake with strawberry ice cream: this was recommended by our waiter and is a must-order. Light, fluffy, and delicate. Good to try - caesar salad: the tableside service is fun, but the salad is nothing special outside of the large, buttery croutons. - lobster ravioli: this was actually my boyfriend's favorite, but something passable to me. I appreciate how much lobster was in the dish as whole pieces and stuffed in the ravioli, but it didn't have any robust flavors. - espresso martini read more

Service is 10/10 - this may be the sole reason I come back (okay and maybe the croutons in that table side caesar salad!) Carbone has been on my list, then off my list then back on when I saw that I would be in Miami. Sure, I could've tried it in Vegas, but here we are. My captain was this lovely woman (so sorry on forgetting your name!) but she was helpful and kind :) I was a solo diner as I was heading out to the airport right after my dinner lol and the team understood the assignment! I ordered the caesar salad, spicy rigatoni, veal parmesan, and the coconut lime cake. To reiterate - I would come back just for those croutons, like WHAT?! Perfectly warm, crunchy, yet soft. The halved sardines were also a nice touch. Spicy rigatoni... Ah, world famous... Too al dente for me. Similar vibes to Jon & Vinny's spicy fusilli, which I actually prefer way more. (Also when I reheated the spicy rigatoni next day, I felt like it was too salty for me.) Veal parmesan - yup. Worth $91? Maybe, maybe not. But it was delicious. Coconut lime cake... I wish it was more coconut and creamy forward, but I tasted more of a tart and citrus leaning cake. Not bad, just not what I envisioned it to be when it was initially described, but I didn't hate it :) All in all, worth giving Carbone a try if you were able to snag reservations! read more

I came here with a friend and unfortunately had a very uncomfortable experience with our server, Nick. The bill already included a 20% tip. Nick followed me to the bathroom, and I asked whether the tip was already included. I felt pressured and harassed, so I ended up giving an additional tip even though I did not feel comfortable doing so. Later, I wasn't feeling well and simply wanted to sit for a moment and have some water after finishing dinner and dessert with my friend. I was told I could not sit there, which I found very disappointing and lacking in basic customer service. I have never experienced anything like this at a restaurant before. Unfortunately, because of this experience, I cannot recommend Nick as a waiter. The way I was treated made what should have been an enjoyable evening very uncomfortable. read more

This place is smoooooth... exuding old school class. I sat on the patio, which was cool, intimate, and period music playing. Gio, my culinary Sherpa for the evening, was very knowledgeable and quietly charming; together we built a perfect menu. The white wine from Alto Adige was a splendid choice. Complementary starter included - pickled cauliflower - delicate pickle with chilis and lemon zest and perfectly cooked. - a beautiful bouquet of salami, very flavorful. - their famous bread basket. Pillowy tomato focaccia, garlic bread nicely slicked with oil, and a rustic white with sesame. - a lovely chunk of Parmesan. Wonderfully creamy, not a crystal to be found. Shortly thereafter my appetizer arrived. A mosaic of beef carpaccio. Perfectly sliced, whispers of mushrooms, and meltingly tender. The dressing and nuts send it over the top. It was hard not to inhale, but I did sop up the dressing. A masterpiece. Main course - snapper Alison. Beautiful presentation, finished table side by plating, drizzling with olive oil and a pinch of sea salt. Delicate, piping hot, perfect. The fish was accompanied by thinly sliced potato and fennel and a little garnish of pesto made with basil, mint, and parsley. Great supporting cast to the snapper. The thin slices of fresh chili was an unexpected , but delightful, twist. To complete the meal, I ordered an espresso. In true Carbone style a little surprise showed up as well. Rainbow colored almond cake slices - spumoni-like flavor and perfect with the espresso. This was a meal and experience which makes memories. I will be back. read more

I am glad we got a reservation at Carbone Miami as getting a reservation at Carbone NYC feels nearly impossible. The interior is warm and classy. The menus are huge which is comical, we had fun with it. We were served a complimentary chunk of parmesan cheese which was really good and got some protein macros in. We were also served pickled cauliflower which was really good. The cauliflower had a bite to it. The bread basket IS THE BEST BREAD BASKET I HAVE EVER HAD. There were these tomato pie sticks which was so moist. There were slices of sesame sourdough bread which was so good I wish I could take a loaf home. The garlic bread was a bit oily but well seasoned. Calamari - 2/5 writing about this first as most of the food we had was great but we found the calamari very underwhelming and under seasoned, it needed fresh lemon on the side or a splash of acidity Caesar salad - 3/5 it was nice to see it built but I found it had too much parmesan on it, loved the whole piece anchovies Artichoke hearts -5/5 this was something new I have never had, it was very hearty, the texture is like undercooked baked potato, I would highly recommend and the accompanying sauce was used to dip the bread from the bread basket Pasta in general was very al dente - reviews makes me think the restaurant just cooks the pasta in this manner and that it wasn't because of rushing the food out of the kitchen Orecchiette Vito - 4/5 got it without the Vito, the broccoli rabe is bitter but there was something nostalgic about it Fettuccine con Funghi - 5/5 I liked the big slices of mushroom in it Spicy Rigatoni Vodka -5/5 this was excellent and worth the hype but the portion seems smaller than the other pastas Desserts - they had 4 options on display for the evening Carrot Cake - 5/5 best carrot cake I have ever had, the ginger ice cream was so elevated, the frosting wasn't too sweet, I wish I took some home with me Chocolate Cake with Hazelnut Sauce - 4/5 this was good and a safe dessert Would go back and have the lemon coconut dessert! Complimentary Italian rainbow cookies were very authentic and one of the better ones I have had in my lifetime. Dropping a star because as we entered, a staff member rudely called us out for taking flash photography in the waiting area. I did not see a sign big enough and it was unclear where in the restaurant flash photography was not allowed. The table behind us was taking flash photography throughout the entire evening and not once was told not to. Secondly, a couple minutes after our check was processed, management asked us to get up as another party was waiting and had increased their party size and needed our table. We were offered to finish our conversation in the lounge area but this kind of rubbed me the wrong way. Thirdly, they allowed people with jeans, j-orts and leggings on...not sure what rules and regulations they are enforcing. Overall, found the food elevated and of high quality. read more

I would return and only get the bread service and spicy rigatoni because I feel like that was the best of what we got. The lobster ravioli was good too but not better than the vodka pasta.

Carbone 100% lives up to the hype. The interior is stunning, an upscale Italian theme with moody ambiance. Service is excellent, explains the menu well. I started with one of the best espresso martinis I have ever had, great coffee flavor with a hint of chocolate and creaminess. The complimentary appetizers are delicious - i loved the picked cauliflower and onions which were sour with a nice crunch, the salami is soft and savory, and the bread basket variety is perfection (LOVED the tomato bread and garlic). I had to try the famous spicy rigatoni and was so pleased. The pasta is al dente and the sauce is scrumptious - creamy and does have a bit of a kick! You end with a little yummy Italian cookie. Would absolutely recommend this spot. read more

A lot of restaurants st this price point aren't worth it, but this one is! The food is amazing and the service is top notch. We had the hamachi crudo, Caesar salad, spicy vodka rigatoni, and chocolate hazelnut dessert. It was all incredible. The portions were a nice size and everything was delicious. The Caesar salad is made tableside with the dressing made from scratch right in front of you - so good! There are 1-3 people attending to your every need so a glass never goes empty and nothing is missed. The restaurant also does not nickel and dime you or skimp on portions, which I appreciate when you're paying this much. Before you even order anything they bring you a bread basket with 3 different types of bread, gardeniera, cheese, and salami - all on the house! I highly recommend Carbone Miami! read more

We snagged reservations for a birthday about a month in advance. We got there right on time and were seated promptly. Seating is a bit tight as some tables are close together, so be prepared for an intimate setting. The ambiance gave upscale, overall it gave a different vibe than typical Miami scenes. Service was interesting. It started off well, but once we declined drinks or appetizers, it sort of fell off. We tried the the Caesar salad, lobster rigatoni, and the infamous spicy rigatoni. The salad was the best part. It was made and served table-side, and the croutons were absolutely delicious. Both of the pasta dishes were very chewy. I understand al dente, but the texture was quite surprising. Also, when we looked around, pretty much everyone had the spicy rigatoni and we could literally see steam coming from their plates. Ours absolutely was not that hot. We didn't complain, but it was very noticeable. Both dishes were flavorful at least, and my friend said the rigatoni was better the next day heated up. You also receive complimentary pickled cauliflower, salami, and a bread basket. Besides the bread basket, the other two were very interesting choices. Perhaps it's just part of the culture. I can say we tried and went for the experience. Overall, we just felt a little out of place. I think everyone should try and formulate their own opinion. read more

My first visit was nothing short of amazing! We had a late reservation and we were seating within 20 minutes which makes perfect sense considering the location and popularity of this restaurant. Walk-in g in felt like being in an old Italian movie with the dim lighting, beautiful furniture, rustic tile and artwork. We got started at the bar while we waited for our table. Once seated, our amazing server Anthony came over and explained the menu options and made great recommendations. He was so attentive and friendly and truly added to our experience being as awesome as e as it was. And then the food started coming and man! Before our actual dishes came out they brought us a delicious bread basket, fresh salami and a Vegetable Giardineria to enjoy, all were delicious. We also tried their most popular Spicy Rigatoni and the flavor was so layered, we were in heaven. We didn't have room for dessert this time but on my next visit I'll make sure to check it out. read more
