Found: A Rare American Wagyu And Tuscan Wine Pairing Menu At Carbone
Carbone Dallas
DALLAS
THE CLASSIC ITALIAN MECCA MADE FOR DALLAS
Carbone opened in the heart of the Dallas Design District in 2022. A classic Italian restaurant for the modern era, this glamorous and exciting destination features charismatic service captains sporting burgundy tuxedos, an intimate atmosphere designed by Ken Fulk, and a menu of world-renowned interpretations of Italian-American cuisine by Chef Mario Carbone.
CHEF MARIO CARBONE
Growing up in Queens, New York, Chef Mario Carbone was steeped in two approaches to Italian cuisine: the northern elegance preserved by his maternal grandparents and the Sicilian abbondanza that defined his father’s side of the family. His future path was always clear.
After graduating from the Culinary Institute of America, Carbone spent a year in Italy that deeply connected his connection to his roots—immersing himself in the flavors, techniques, and traditions that would inspire his cooking and his identity.
Carbone’s cooking remains rooted in the Italian classics of his childhood, emphasizing top-quality ingredients and honoring the traditions of a bygone era.
THE CLASSICS
The Carbone menu features classic Italian-American dishes prepared with exceptional ingredients and fine-dining techniques, preparations like Caesar Salad alla ZZ, Carpaccio Piemontese, Baked Clams, and Veal Parmesan, Ribeye Diana, and seasonal specials created by Chef Carbone as a love letter to his adopted city.
Everything is meant to be shared, from the moment the pre-dinner bounty of fresh chunks of parmigiano cheese, a bread basket overflowing with and a selection of cured meats are placed on the table to the moment the captain asks if you have room for the famous carrot cake.
THE EXPERIENCE
Carbone blends the signature elements that have made the brand beloved around the world with distinct Dallas sensibility. Here, the service captains are committed to the idea of “A Piacere”—providing you exactly what you want tonight—beginning with the way you’d like the bartender to fix your martini.
From there, every effort is made to ensure that each guest experiences the warmly hospitable and occasionally theatrical experience that proves a night at a fine-dining restaurant can indeed be a very good time.
DESIGN
Conceived by renowned designer Ken Fulk to bring old world glamour to the Dallas dining landscape, Carbone Dallas was crafted with big doses of high style, merging Venetian opulence and Italy’s finest traditions with Dallas’ steely confidence. With the grandeur of a palazzo layered with a heavy dose of midcentury swagger and unapologetic luxury, the exceptional service is the perfect match for a city that’s known for grand gestures.
