It takes great inspiration from history. Both the time the Seagram Building was built and the midtown restaurants that existed at that time. It is the precursor to the New York Steakhouse, when things were still intricate and elegant. It celebrates all the animals of the land and some of our favorites from the sea. There is extensive table side preparation and service. THE GRILL is the name of the restaurant, the style of restaurant, and the piece of equipment we use in the kitchen for many of our signature preparations.

Carbone occupies the space that once housed the legendary Rocco Restaurant, which was one of the most historic Italian-American eateries in Manhattan. Built on the great bones that were already there, Carbone pays homage to the Italian-American restaurants of the mid-20th century in New York, where delicious, exceptionally well-prepared food was served in settings that were simultaneously elegant, comfortable and unpretentious. The food nods to that same history, but takes its culinary cues from the great talents and techniques of the present and of the future. Familiar dishes like Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Lobster Fra Diavola, Chicken Scarpariello and Veal Parmesan are elevated to a new level.
