Carbone is an Italian-American restaurant on Collins Avenue in South Beach designed by renowned decorator Ken Fulk. The dining room features rich colors like terracotta and emerald green, along with malachite ceiling beams, damask walls, and glimmering Murano chandeliers that give the space a glamorous, theatrical feel. Service captains in burgundy tuxedos attend to guests with charismatic service.
Chef Mario Carbone's menu focuses on Italian-American classics made with fine-dining technique and high-quality ingredients. Signature dishes include the Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Carpaccio Piemontese, Baked Clams, and Veal Parmesan. The wine program welcomes guests to bring their own bottles for a corkage fee.
The restaurant includes a lush outdoor patio with rattan ceiling fans, eclectic furniture, and tropical greenery that draws inspiration from Havana. The patio seats around 50 people and offers al fresco dining with a laid-back feel that contrasts with the more formal interior. Reservations are recommended.
