"Carbone’s reputation precedes itself. It's one of the most divisive restaurants in NYC (and also one of the hardest to get into). Should you give up your first-born to get a table here? Definitely not. But if the opportunity arises, go to Carbone. And since that might be your one and only opportunity, here's your exact order: the daily crudo, baked clams, a chopped salad, the famous spicy rigatoni, and the ravioli al ragu. Plus whatever piques your interest off the dessert cart. Lunch is slightly easier to reserve (slightly), and we actually like it here better during the day. It's somewhat of a revelation to drink a Negroni in a room full of people who don't have to worry about a day job. " - willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja, arden shore
