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.

The Charles never disappoints! They always take incredible care of us, and last night was no exception. Our waiter (I wish I could remember his name!) was hands down the best server I’ve ever had in Dallas—so attentive, charming, and genuinely delightful. He made our experience unforgettable. As for the food, it’s perfection every time. The spicy shrimp pasta has to be my favorite dish in Dallas—bold flavors, perfectly cooked, and just the right amount of heat. I could eat it every day! The Charles has mastered the art of creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere while delivering top-notch service and food. We’ll be back again and again!
