going to Carbone tonight 🥹 what do I get
your friend who knows
OMG ok hold on let me put my emotions aside
📍 the place
Carbone
opened 2013 on the bones of the original Rocco's (literally there since 1922). the captains in maroon tuxedos? trained for months. it's theater — but the kind that still works.
⭐️ THE one
Spicy Rigatoni Vodka
vodka cooks down with cream + tomatoes for 90 min. that's the depth. pasta rolled fresh every morning. italian-americans argue with it — too sweet, too rich. order it. argue later.

also obsessed with these:
💗 fan fave
Veal Parmesan
they pound it thin, breading + sauce + cheese, then run it under the broiler in front of you. order for the table. share. always.
👨🍳 chef's pick
Caesar alla ZZ
tableside, anchovies pounded into the bowl, raw egg, lemon, parm. the captain narrates. it's a show.
🤫 off menu
"the bread service"
ask the captain by name. focaccia, sesame loaves, seeded crackers, soft butter, tapenade. not on any menu. regulars order it before the first cocktail.
reservations open 12:01 AM ET, exactly 30 days out. use Resy. fast wifi. can't get one? bar serves the full menu, walk-ins line up at 5:30. you're welcome 🤍
