Carbone New York

Italian RestaurantManhattan$$$$

Carbone New York is one of the best italian restaurant restaurants in New York for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Manhattan.

Carbone's tableside Caesar, prepared with the theatrical authority the Major Food Group operates at, is the right way to begin. The spicy rigatoni — vodka sauce, no shortcuts — has become one of New York's most imitated dishes. The veal parmesan is a half-portion city best. A decade on and still one of New York's most exciting rooms to walk into.
