What you should know about Carbone.
Carbone is best known for opening at ARIA Resort & Casino in 2018 through Major Food Group, the hospitality company founded by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick, expanding a restaurant that debuted in New York City's Greenwich Village in 2013 before earning international acclaim for reimagining classic Italian-American fine dining. Chef Mario Carbone, a James Beard Award winner for Best Chef: New York City and a former chef at Parm, developed the restaurant around meticulously refined versions of twentieth-century Italian-American standards, while Major Food Group expanded the concept to destinations including Hong Kong, Miami, Dallas, Riyadh, and Las Vegas. Signature menu favorites include the internationally recognized Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Caesar alla ZZ, Veal Parmesan, Lobster Fra Diavolo, Mario's Meatballs, Linguini Vongole, Octopus Pizzaiolo, Dover Sole Oreganata, New York Strip Pizzaiola, and Bananas Foster Sundae, complemented by an award-winning wine program and classic tableside preparations. Repeated recognition from the MICHELIN Guide, The New York Times, James Beard Foundation, Wine Spectator, and international dining publications, together with Major Food Group's continued global expansion, have established Carbone among the world's most influential contemporary Italian-American restaurants.
Slow-simmered San Marzano tomatoes, roasted garlic, fragrant basil, aged Parmigiano Reggiano, creamy burrata, rich olive oil, oregano, and freshly cracked black pepper establish a culinary theme rooted in elevated Italian-American classics.

Precise pasta cookery, disciplined sauce preparation, attentive butchery, careful seafood preparation, classical service, and meticulous hospitality preserve the integrity of every ingredient while allowing Mario Carbone's reinterpretation of mid-century Italian-American dining to remain the defining focus throughout the dining experience.
