Carbone is Chef Mario Carbone’s homage to the great Italian American restaurants of mid-20th century in New York, where delicious, exceptionally well-prepared food was served in settings that were simultaneously elegant, comfortable and unpretentious. His food captures the essence of that history but takes its culinary cues from the kitchens of his childhood, the great talents with whom he worked throughout his early career and incorporates his signature techniques that blend familiar and bold flavors to create the most craveable dishes. We call this Carbone Italian.

    Our first time here and we will blown away by the beauty of the space. We enjoyed hearing from our server, Shayla about the history and details of the owner and his concept behind the architecture. It really added to the experience. The cocktails were amazing, the crab cakes were some of the best we've had, and the Texas Akaushi Steak was phenomenal. Scallops and okra were great. Lobster bisque was a bit too salty for all of us but still tasty. Our server, Shayla however, made our night. She was engaged, thoughtful, patient, and we had so much fun with her. She definitely made my birthday dinner extra special. Huge asset to Nuri!

    Everything Duro Hospitality does is a hit, and The Charles is no exception! The service was impeccable, the drinks were top notch, and the food was delectable! We had a large party and showed up to the back bar an hour before for pre dinner drinks and they were so accommodating to take care of us and always kept us informed of the table. They treated the birthday guest to an amazing glass of champagne, and made the whole experience amazing. Charles was our server and he was great! Nate the Manager on duty as well as his whole staff was absolutely amazing. We will be back so many more times, and I am so happy that Duro has this gem in their repertoire!

    The dining experience was wonderful. Having cocktails in the cozy bar before dinner was great service. Then dining was the best service and food.

    From the time we walked in until the time we left it was a great experience. The food was a 10/10. I have been to the Carbone in New York but this was my first time visiting the Dallas location and I must say the experience exceeded NYC. The waiters were amazing as well!

    While still a good dining experience, I was expecting much more. I felt it was vastly overpriced and their signature dishes (Chicken Parmesan and Pasta Vodka) left a lot to be desired. Service was extremely courteous, but excruciatingly slow. It’s good to go and check off the box, but I won’t be frequenting.
