Carbone's has a history of good food and impeccable service. Emphasis on the word HISTORY!!!!
I believe our waitress was Hitlers sister. Abrasive, cold and impatient.
She said their signature ""product"" was their fettuccini carbonara. Well folks, pasta costs about 20cents a metric TON. So why would a restaurant charge you $22+ bucks for a cup (I kid you not) of macaroni with a sauce that is broken (cream separated and has become pure oil). And WHO ON EARTH puts sausage in their carbonara and no peas or bacon???
Bread was incredibly boring. Flavorless sun-dried tomato dipping oil. Way overdone and bitter breadsticks.
Ten dollars for tableside salad: one dollar worth of ingredients. Gorgonzola salad that leaves you wishing you had more than two crumbs of the cheese in your salad. I love salad, I am happy to pay $10 for a GREAT salad....not the case here folks.
Our dirty dishes sat in front of us for 25 minutes without being cleared off.
Lousy wine list with astronomical prices. Again, give me a delicious wine and money is no object.
We were so disappointed we were afraid to order dessert. Cappuccino came with biscotti which were ice cold thin slices of cookies (store-bought).
I assure you, if we had a wonderful dinner I would have written a shining review. $364.00 later; we vow never to return!
Pros: Nice Ambiance
Cons: LOUSY Service, Food Gone Way Down Hill
