Carbone was fine, but not worth the money in my opinion. Atmosphere was lovely, but the music was much too loud as several other posters have mentioned. The food was acceptable, the beet salad being my favorite item. Patrons were appropriately dressed, which I appreciated. Service seemed very rushed, especially when we were first seated. Something just seemed to be missing...
As a local, I will continue to refers out-of-towners to Vintner or the Italian American Club.
