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.

Service is impeccable! We've been to the restaurant several times and love it. This time we found the main dishes - the chicken and the pork - not as well prepared as the fish we've had before. But the appetizers - surf and turf and brisket, the refried lentils and okra with shishitos, ALL of the handmade masas, the Mexican chocolate ganache, and the Jamaica margaritas were all extraordinary! We look forward to our next venture in.

We celebrated my husband's birthday at Swank. I really loved this restaurant; it's a quaint restaurant housed in a restored home. The food (the whipped ricotta for an appetizer and lamb chops, and sea bass as entrees) was great, the service was excellent. I will definitely return when in the area.
