"Verdict: Carbone is not really a restaurant. It's a pasta theme park for the social media generation. And like so many tourist attractions, it's overpriced, needlessly difficult to book, and prioritizes appearance over everything else. Still, the red sauce performance here has its charm, and if you're simply dying to see it for yourself (and OK with eating at an odd weekday hour) go for it. Just manage your expectations.
