West Village's red-sauce Italian temple where the veal parmesan and spicy rigatoni have become the most talked-about dishes in NYC
Carbone opened in 2013 in a West Village townhouse and became one of the hardest reservations in New York almost immediately. Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone's red-sauce Italian cooking operates at a level of technical precision that the format rarely gets — the spicy rigatoni vodka has been copied at a hundred restaurants and none have matched it, the veal parmesan is a study in how much a classic can be elevated without being altered, and the tableside Caesar is prepared with ceremony that earns every second of theater. The room is dark, glamorous, and loud. The tuxedoed captains are part of the performance. Carbone is one of the most purely enjoyable restaurants in New York.
