Carbone

Given how difficult it is to even obtain a table, how the bill will probably exceed your next vehicle payment, and the fact that everyone raves about it, you could go to Carbone with the expectation that you won't enjoy it. However, after beginning at the opulently furnished bar with a martini that is just short of exquisite and being shown to your seat by a wait staff that has perfected politeness, you realize this place truly is something exceptional. Big platters of ribs and peppers, linguine and mussels, and their signature dish—a spicy vodka sauce that adhered to wonderfully al dente rigatoni—are all equally delicious. Yes, this location is a scene, but all of a sudden you'll want to join in.

One of the most renowned Italian eateries in the past ten years is Carbone, which was founded by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick. Most likely the best way to put it is as described by The New York Times: "It is a fancy red-sauce joint as directed by Quentin Tarantino, bringing back the punch-in-the-guts thrills of a genre that everyone else sees as uncultured and a little embarrassing, while exposing the sophistication that was always lurking there. A lot of other restaurants appear like sincere, uninspired drones in comparison to the restaurant's technological prowess and sense for pure fun.

The companies Major Food Group is owned by Zalaznick, Torrisi, and Carbone. They are also the minds behind such well-known ideas as THE GRILL, Sadelle's, ZZ's Clam Bar, Parm, and Dirty French.
