Las Vegas Restaurant Carbone | The Hardest Reservation to Get! 🍝

I went to Carbone in Vegas with a friend who used to live in New York! The original location is in NYC and is famously impossible to get into—even after years of living there, they never managed to snag a table! Luckily, the Vegas location is a bit easier to book! 🎉 We started with complimentary aged cheese, bread, ham, and pickles. The cheese was an 18-month aged variety, super aromatic. I’m not a big cheese person, but everyone else loved it! The bread was perfectly crispy outside and soft inside, with just the right seasoning. If we hadn’t ordered so much food, I would’ve eaten way more! 🧀🍞 🍆 Eggplant & Zucchini Scapece A refreshing and appetizing starter! Great for sharing if you’re in a group. 🐙 Octopus Pizzaiolo One of the most tender grilled octopus dishes I’ve ever had! Served with flavorful mushrooms and pan-fried potatoes—so good! 🦑 Calamari Marco This was the dish my boyfriend and I couldn’t stop talking about! If you like fried calamari, you MUST order this! Lightly battered, crispy, and tender—absolutely perfect! 🥩 Porterhouse We pre-ordered this when making the reservation. It’s on the pricier side at $270+, but the portion is huge! Cooked perfectly, and paired with a tangy sauce—it was incredibly satisfying! 🍝 Spicy Rigatoni Vodka A signature dish! Though it’s a simple tomato-based pasta with no meat, the rich, slightly spicy sauce is unforgettable. The pasta was al dente, and each piece was coated in flavor. Tied with the calamari as my favorite! 😍 🍝 Linguini Vongole The other three people in our group preferred this clam pasta. The pasta was cooked perfectly, paired with tender clams and crispy fried garlic—a delicious combination! 🍰 For dessert, we tried the carrot cake (pretty good, not too sweet!). They also served complimentary petit fours after the meal (sweetness alert! 🚨). Overall, we left super full and happy! Since we tried almost everything we wanted, we probably won’t be back soon, but it was a great experience! After tax and tip, it came to about $150 per person. (Without the steak, it’s actually pretty reasonable!). Their appetizers are amazing—if you skip the steak, try more small plates for better value! Have you been to Carbone?
