Carbone Dallas

"All the classic red sauce options are available at this Dallas outpost from Mario Carbone, but there are some adventurous options also. Try the trio of prosciutto with freshly-made mozzarella, the ink squid ravioli with lobster both inside the pasta and in the sauce, and save room for the lemony cheesecake. Lucky diners will find themselves in the opera booths that line one wall, and allow them to eavesdrop on the tables in front of them (we strongly suggest requesting one on your reservation to up the drama of the night)." - Courtney E. Smith

"The South Beach location of the incredibly popular red-sauce-focused restaurant serves up the same high-end takes on classic Italian-American dishes that its New York City counterpart has since 2012, like its famous spicy rigatoni in a vodka sauce, the Caesar salad “alla ZZ” that is prepared table-side; veal chop parmesan; and more — alongside some serious old school vibes, potent cocktails, and plenty of people watching." - Eater Staff

"Among the few who haven’t yet had Carbone’s famous spicy rigatoni vodka? Make the holiday your chance to splurge and try it, along with Dover piccata, ribeye Diana, and a slice of that heavenly lemon cheesecake." - Courtney E. Smith

"For those who don’t care about turkey, Carbone will be open for reservations with its regular Italian menu on Thanksgiving — as will Vino next door. Make reservations from 1 to 9 p.m. (or until 8 at Vino) and dive into courses and courses of bites, including its famous  spicy rigatoni vodka." - Courtney E. Smith
