The meal started with complimentary garlic bread, salami and cheese.

Garlic Bread, Salami and Cheese

Then, we ordered Carpaccio Piemontese, Octopus Pizzaiolo, Spicy Rigatoni Vodka and Lobster Ravioli.

Liked the Carpaccio Piemontese the most. With the black truffle winter dressing and mushrooms on top, the dish was delicately presented. Thinly sliced, the tenderloin tasted slightly salty and melted with other toppings.

Carpaccio Piemontese

The Octopus Pizzaiolo was a bit spicy because of the roasted pepper. The chewy Spanish octopus and soft fingerling potatoes created an interesting combination.

Octopus Pizzaiolo

The Spicy Rigatoni Vodka was their signature dish. The rigatoni had an al dente texture, and the sauce combined sweetness, saltiness and spiciness nicely.

The Lobster Ravioli had a rather thick skin and its interior was quite moist. Not that memorable compared to other dishes.

Lobster Ravioli

For dessert, noble got me Tiramisu as bday cake! With a small sponge cake on top, the tiramisu was layered and creamy with the mascarpone. Its rum flavour was quite strong, so ppl who love alcohol may love this dessert more.

.
The staff was very attentive and friendly, and gave us useful advice when we asked for recommendations. It was enthralling when they presented the dessert trolley too. It really made one struggle hard to choose the dessert.

This is a birthday celebration for my friend, we did not order the desserts as recommended by the service staff.

We brought our own cake for JOEY CAT!

All of the staff are very caring, they sing songs and shake the atmosphere up to the top of the moment.

Say love is too early, like it. 🤍

Carbone is a dashing choice for New York style Italian food. The menu is compact enough so that everything on it is what the house feels confident about presenting, but not so much that you feel that it severely limits your choice.

Carbone is a dashing choice for New York style Italian food. The menu is compact enough so that everything on it is what the house feels confident about presenting, but not so much that you feel that it severely limits your choice. The interior is classically designed with old school chandeliers and vintage floor tiles while seating is comfy and spacious. The enclosed restaurant lacks natural lighting and without being able to look outside of the restaurant, you could perhaps fool yourself that you’re in another city like, for instance, New York, where Italian restaurants like this one abound. Or, if you prefer, pretend that it’s an exclusive, private club of some sort. And of course you would always have Black Sheep hospitality to take care of you and your guests. Servers are a little less warm here than at some other Black Sheep places, perhaps because Carbone is more popular, but it’s still many times better here than the average restaurant in the area.

Yes, Carbone is on the pricier side, but only if you are a bit too eager and want to eat everything on the menu. Or, say, because you are having too much to drink. Otherwise, complimentary bread and cheese (refills on request) should get you going. Ordering too much would just get you filled up in an unpleasant way in any case, as the food here comes in relatively large portions and is incredibly rich (read: fatty and loaded with salt)—it’s New York style after all. I’d much rather order just enough every time, savor the food thoroughly and come back often.

On another note, if you’re up for New York-style Italian in a more casual setting, Mostaccioli Brothers beneath Elgin Street is a nice option with friendlier prices. There is outdoor seating there, too.

Food Rundown

Some nibbles to get you going. Parmesan cheese chunks, arancini, salami and garlic bread. I usually request for normal, unoiled bread (to save myself some tummy space for the mains) and if your server is nice that should be available.

Carpaccio Piemontese

Carpaccio Piemontese ($278) presents itself with paper thin wagyu beef slices, chopped walnut, funghi and some olive oil. It’s just slightly salty but we were still truly impressed with the meltingly delicate beef and the symphony of crunches and flavors orchestrated by the rest of the toppings. A must-order.

Octopus Pizzaiolo

Octopus Pizzaiolo ($268) comprised one tentacle of a Spanish octopus with some roasted pepper and fingerling potato. The sweet sauce paired with both crunchy and tender pepper was a great backdrop. All in all a hearty appetizer to start.

Lobster ravioli

Lobster ravioli ($328) with vermouth and fine herbs was excellent. The pasta dough was springy and moist and integrated seamlessly with its fillings and the savory sauce. Definitely get this if you like lobster.

Mario’s Meatball

Not enough meat? Not to worry. Mario’s Meatball ($278 each) has got you covered. The meatball is made with pork only. It holds tightly together and the mouthfeel is super soft. It’s definitely a bit on the fattier side and probably included minced pancetta and bread crumbs, making for an incredibly juicy and satiating bomb with countless pockets of moisture. The tomato marinara is delightful, too. But I do think half melted (or at least a fluffier) parmesan would go better with this than dry bits with no piping hot sauce to melt on.

New York Bone-in Strip

New York Bone-in Strip

New York Bone-in Strip ($608) is sourced from Chicago’s Meats by Linz and while this was no doubt a decent steak, it wasn’t the best for us. The strip steak was relatively straight so we had quite an even texture throughout and the meat had good marbling. There are no complaints about the grilling (which was frankly quite perfect) either. But the beef itself just didn’t quite have the nuanced, more complex flavor profile and richness of our favorite steaks. So I wouldn’t come here just for the bone-in strip as it isn’t their best show.

Chicken Parmigiana

Chicken Parmigiana ($328) is an all-time classic, a quintessential Italian-American dish that celebrates the abundance of meat in the land of the free. Instead of drowning in marinara this is served almost in the form of a margherita pizza which I thought was interesting and, of course, appealing. The chicken was beaten and flattened to its thinnest, and with the breading it was deep-fried to a firm crunchiness. I thought the dish was made to a good standard, and I especially liked that neither the marinara nor the cheese was overboard.

Lemon Cheesecake

Lemon Cheesecake ($215) was a little less cheesy and more of an ultra smooth, milky vanilla-y kind. It almost tastes like ice cream as it was also very cold. A little too sweet if you ask me.

Rainbow cookie to end, in true Italian style.

Both hot and iced coffee were good. The second wave kind in terms of flavor—more smokey and roasty and bold.

An Italian restaurant who’s been making New Yorker’s feeling very happy has recently launched in Hong Kong!

An Italian restaurant who’s been making New Yorker’s feeling very happy has recently launched in Hong Kong! The Black Sheep Group (the awesome people who brought us other hearty restaurants like Motorino (post) and La Vache (post) has now opened the contemporary and old school eatery: Carbone! I love the feel of the place. All the staff are dressed up and I love the classic Frank Sinatra songs blasting throughout the restaurants. Plush leather seats, colourful decor and delicious Italian fare lights up this restaurant.
So one busy day….I was looking forward to the feast I would be eating at night!

CARBONE!

Cheesy Garlic bread

Fresh delicious homemade Cheesy Garlic bread. Its a hearty delicious cut…I really wanted more! But we over-ordered and had a huge meal coming!

Prosciutto for the table!

Carpaccio Piemontese

Carpaccio Piemontese $168 which I LOVED! I really liked the texture actually. It’s different…a bit more on the chewy side, but I really liked the arugula leaves and thinly sliced mushrooms that came with it! Beware…its a big serving!

Octopus Pizzaiolo

Octopus Pizzaiolo $188 This was really good! The octopus was crunchy and perfectly flavoured. I really liked all the accompanying parts of this dish!

Mario's Meatball

Mario’s Meatballs $168 The meatballs were one of their signatures and it was pretty good! The meat was soft, tender and flavourful! But by this point- I was pretty full!
But we had SO much more food to come! The side portion is HUGE. Its really American-sized….and the main is just as big!

Charred Broccoli

Sides: Charred Broccoli $78..mmmm! So sad because we barely touched the sides and the main-we asked to to-go it, but ended up not taking it by accident! But honestly…its cause our food wasn’t packed or brought out! So, not entirely our fault we didn’t bring it back..sigh.

Sides: Funghi Trifolati $78…sooo good! Drenched in olive oil..Nice.

Double Lamb Chops

Carni: Double Lamb Chops $428 They’re ginormous!!

Great, friendly service! The lamb chops were MASSIVE…

Beautifully cooked! I’m not the biggest fan of lamb..but these babies were nicely done. Absolutely tender, succulent and juicy. The lamb meat were nicely seasoned and quite lean with just the right amount of fat. But soooo sad….we wasted it!! :/ We asked for it to be packed…but I don’t know- they forgot to bring it out, and we forgot to ask them for it again!
Dessert Wine! Overall I really enjoyed it. Service was friendly and nice. Food was hearty and good…its a nice spot for some good ol’ hearty Italian cooking…and its in the heart of LKF…perfect way to kick off a night of drinking and partying! ;)

Let's get it straight first. Carbone offers American-Italian food straight from the likes of Little Italy complete with a Godfather-like setting with the red leather seats and brass decors. The food is not going to be fine or delicate but meant to be more like comfort food with heavy flavors. I found the restaurant accommodating from the start as I had to make several last minute reservation changes and they tried their best to fulfill my requests.

Let's get it straight first. Carbone offers American-Italian food straight from the likes of Little Italy complete with a Godfather-like setting with the red leather seats and brass decors. The food is not going to be fine or delicate but meant to be more like comfort food with heavy flavors. I found the restaurant accommodating from the start as I had to make several last minute reservation changes and they tried their best to fulfill my requests.

The meal got off to a great start with complimentary garlic bread, prosciutto and cheese!

prosciutto and cheese

Baked Clams ($198) - the baked clams were amazing with 3 kinds of flavor: oreganata with breadcrumbs, casino with bacon and pepper and fantasia with sea urchin. I loved all of the different pairings but I have to say that my favorite was the casino with bacon and pepper. [4.5/5]

Octopus Pizzaiolo ($188) - loved the octopus in this dish as it had been caramelized so you get a slightly crunchy sensation with a mildly sweet taste as you bite into it. One of the best way to eat an octopus for sure! [4.5/5]

Octopus Pizzaiolo

Spicy Rigatoni Vodka ($198) - hands down the best dish of the night! It was rich and hearty to eat with a perfectly spicy kick in flavors. I would go back to Carbone just to eat this pasta. [5/5]

Spicy Rigatoni Vodka

Lobster Ravioli ($248) - a solid pasta with chopped up lobsters but the flavors weren't memorable at all in comparison to the spicy rigatoni vodka. [3.5/5]

Lobster Ravioli

Mario's Meatballs ($168) - the meatballs were huge and tender as they were easy to pull apart, but it was the rich tomato sauce that made this dish IMO. [4/5]

Mario's Meatballs

Double Lamb Chops ($428) - the lamb chops were carved in front of us but the portion was rather small for the hefty price. They had recommended medium rare for the lambs which turned out to be wonderful as the meat was plump and juicy with natural and subtle flavors. I would have preferred just a bit more flavors so I'd probably go for the Veal Parmesan next time. [4/5]

Double Lamb Chops

Dessert time!!! A tray with all 4 of their dessert offerings were displayed to [taunt?] us and being the sweets addicts that we were, we couldn't resist and ended up ordering everything!

Lemon Cheesecake ($108) - this was my favorite dessert of the night! Deliciously rich and creamy while topped with a layer of tangy lemon mousse which balanced the flavors perfectly. [5/5]

Lemon Cheesecake

Tiramisu ($108) - um...the ladyfinger was huge! Too bad our tiramisu was quite dry with a lot more cake than mascarpone while the ladyfinger was dense and sticky to eat. [3/5]

Carrot Cake ($108) - while the accompanying ginger ice cream was yummy, the carrot cake lacked flavors of carrot (of all things) while the cake was dry and dense as well. Didn't taste like a carrot cake actually. [2.5/5]

Banana Flambe ($128) - finally the show we were all waiting for! The bananas were prepared in front of us with a flaming show and all. The result? A not so photogenic dessert actually with a melting pot of almond ice cream, chocolate cake and bananas. So simple and yet so good. I would probably only order this for the show but skip this in lieu of the cheesecake if you have to choose though. [4/5]

Lastly, our parting gift of the night was a shot of limoncello. Too bad it was pretty watered down so it just tasted like lemon water.

Verdict - solid food with high price tags that would prevent us from dropping by this restaurant more often than we'd like. It's great for big groups since the American-sized portions are perfect for sharing. Bring a jacket though as the AC was on full blast and we left with popsicles as arms.
