"Carbone was one of the first big dominoes to get the NYC to Miami restaurant pipeline of 2021 flowing. And it's still just about the worst. We’ve yet to see any proof that it’s worth making a reservation here for 5pm or 11pm on a weekday—pretty much the only option if you're a civilian. This has been one of Miami's toughest reservations since it opened, but for all the effort it takes to eat here, you will only be rewarded with way-too-expensive Italian-American food ranging from average to above average. Dessert is the only part of the meal we'd call great. But food aside, Carbone really feels like a bad influence on this city's restaurant industry, enabling its most vain, clout-obsessed characteristics. And it's only getting bigger.
