Carbone Miami - Miami Beach (FL)

5 /5 Dalit Rosenfeld: Carbone in Miami is unbelievable! The quality of the food is superb and the whole experience feels special from the moment you sit down. They bring out different types of hot breads (so yummy!) that are so delicious along with pickled cauliflower and even a piece of high quality Parmesan cheese. It was my first time after hearing so many recommendations and it definitely lived up to the hype. We had a late dinner and the place was full and vibrant with that classic Miami energy. The portions are big and everything was excellent. Even the making of the Caesar salad felt like a little show. Our service was on point and the food was incredible. We ordered the spicy rigatoni vodka, the fettuccine con funghi, the artichokes, and two amazing desserts. This is a place I will absolutely come back to. Totally recommended!

4 /5 Maina Khoja: Carbone is an upscale Italian-American restaurant featuring a beautiful interior and impeccable, entertaining service. While the quality of the food is great, the overall experience felt somewhat average. The presentation during serving was impressive, but the flavors didn’t quite meet my expectations. The portions are generous, and they serve a nice complementary bread basket with pickled cauliflower and salami, which was a delightful touch. We enjoyed the following dishes: calamari Marco, Caesar alla ZZ, caprese, fennel salad, and double lamb chops. However, both pastas we ordered—the fettuccini con funghi and the spicy rigatoni—were average. Needs reservation.

5 /5 Justin Yelda: For those who have dined or attempted to dine at Carbone, we know how reservations tend to book fairly quickly, and that it’s best to reserve a spot far in advance. I’d like to begin by tipping my hat to this unparalleled service Carbone has shown in getting me a same day reservation within a matter of hours. Carbone has a relationship with the American Express Centurion team, and they definitely went above and beyond to secure my reservation. I was not surprised because I had a similar experience with the Carbone in New York just last week. The service in this place is top notch. The team is very friendly, accommodating and take their time to explain the best recommendations they can provide. We arrived early so we started with drinks at the bar. Once seated, you can smell the delicious truffle lingering throughout the entire dining room. From the bread and salami to start, to the Ceasers salad with anchovies, we were already off to a great start. Next the tortellini, octopus and zucchini were phenomenal. Spicy rigatoni is a must and we also wanted to try the rib eye cooked medium, always impressed with this place. Can’t wait to be back to enjoy the ambiance this establishment has to offer!

5 /5 Jonilda Seitllari: Carbone Miami absolutely lived up to the hype! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was perfect—energetic, stylish, and inviting. The staff who served us, amazing! Our waiter, Nick, was truly the best. He made the experience even more memorable with his attention and personality. The food? Incredible. The spicy rigatoni was our absolute favorite—every bit as amazing as everyone says. We also loved the Caesar salad, which was freshly prepared right on spot. We finished the night with rainbow cookies, panettone (My favorite. It was exquisite) and the vanilla ice cream topped with olive oil and white truffle… chef’s kiss. Everything—from the atmosphere to the service to each dish—was outstanding. Totally recommend Carbone Miami! Will definitely be back.

5 /5 Andrew Lim: Carbone Miami delivers exactly what you’d hope for from one of the city’s most coveted reservations: big personality, big flavors, and a dining experience that feels equal parts nostalgic and glamorous. Bringing the New York red sauce supper club energy made famous by Major Food Group, this output blends nostalgic charm with Miami flair. The space features dim lighting, dark wood paneling, mirrors and chandeliers throughout, impeccably tailored waitstaff and a playlist that keeps the room buzzing. It’s lively, stylish, and intentionally over-the-top in all the best ways. Service here is fantastic and teams work tirelessly here to ensure constant coverage for guests. While there is a heavy element of theatrics, we found it to be charming and sincere. Servers here can also help guide you through the menu and provide helpful suggestions without being overbearing or pushy. As for the food, it’s as indulgent as the hype suggests. The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka remains the star of the show (a Carbone classic) and there are some Miami specific dishes such as the snapper as well as the coconut key lime pie that are must tries. Like the New York and Vegas locations, prices are high and would strongly budget $100/pp. Reservations are an absolute must (although they are easier to land compared to its NY sibling). Finally note that there is a dress code that is strictly enforced - shorts, jeans and sandals are not allowed inside and you are encouraged to dress for the occasion (this was a bit surprising, but not an unreasonable ask). For people driving in, note there is a large gravel carpark across the street with ample capacity.
