    What I respect the most about UA as a reviewer is that he is HONEST. I subscribe to tons of food reviewers (on other platforms) and after a while I unsubscribe as most always say the same thing: EVERYTHING IS SOOOO DELICIOUS, OMMMGGGG…
    Honesty is the difference between a real reviewer and an “influencer” posing as one.

    Carbone is very overrated. Was lucky to get a 9 PM seating. Service was terrible as they did not seem interested in selling cocktails. They pushed some overprice wine. After being seated they finally brought our coccktails just as the food hit the table. Veal Parm was ok. When they figured out that we were not ordering expensive wine they rushed us out. 4 short poured cocktails, 2 over priced appetizers and 2 Veal Parm came to $400 with tax and tip. Not a thank you Not a goodnight. Never again

    I just discovered your channel, love it!!! Great reviews and down to earth!
    I was born and raised in Europe and am of multiethnic background. My mother was Croatian-German-Hungarian and her cooking reflected her ethnic background, mostly Austrian-Hungarian Dishes.
    We lived in the Italian part of Switzerland, thus her cooking was influenced by that style as well.
    She was a home-cook and baker, but very good at it and a real food fanatic. We were what you Americans call "foodies",
    but we were lacking money and could rarely afford choicer cuts of meat and fish,
    just for Sundays and the Holidays
    she would try to procure a chicken or some roast.
    We ate mostly starches and veggies and locally grown fruit.
    I didn't know what kivis or mangos were, until I first encountered them later in life, after I had come to Chicago.
    Many of the foods, I grew up eating, were not available in the USA or difficult to come by and only could be found in Metropolitan areas and ethnic neighborhoods.
    I lived in a small town about 2 hours away from Chicago-land were the local markets only carried American foods.
    Just a couple times a year I'd drive to Chicago to ethnic markets, Polish, Hungarian, German, Italian etc. to get European type groceries.
    That was back in the seventies, now even in smaller towns imported international foods have become more widely available.
    At home, I try to prepare the dishes that I grew up with, and that my mother taught me to cook, from the ingredients available here.
    I still bake bread, once or twice a week
    and always have some nice home made pastries in the fridge or freezer, ready in case someone stops by for a visit.
    I cannot afford this type of high class specialty restaurants that you are reviewing with my very limited financial resources,
    but, thanks to youtube and people like you,
    I am able to visit these places and get an idea how they are.
    And, most of the time, I get the impression that I am not missing anything,
    and that my home cooked food probably is way better than what they have to offer.

    At Woodbury Commons, there's a restaurant "Parm" that I think is related to Carbone, although I'm not 100% sure.

I also had the meatball parm, and I also noticed that it seems like the meatballs have sausage in them. But I didn't care for the sausage texture in the meatballs at all.

The other dishes (pasta with sauces) ...you could do them better at home or get them in a cheaper restaurant. 👍

    Before Carbone, it was Il Mulino churning out decent enough Italian-American food but at preposterous prices. Carbone is basically Il Mulino for a younger crowd. Torrisi, one of their other places in the restaurant group, is a much better restaurant. Outside of the group, there are old school spots like Michael's in Brooklyn, Rubirosa in Little Italy, or something more recent like Don Angie, which is a more modern take on Italian-American cuisine.

    I am always very worried when the food comes out too fast. It’s been reheated 😮 also the meatball looked completely raw - i.e. probably microwaved. I rather am disappointed that the mushroom fettuccine was not made with porcini mushrooms. At least the garlic bread was decent 😂

    Final thoughts sounds like it is actually far below average considering the prices paid for each dish and the quality subpar at best aside from the mozz. Meatball is good, but should be good from an "Italian" restaurant in NYC. I would skip it all together by the sound of it. Any place in little Italy probably puts it to shame.

    1) box pasta can be amazing quality pasta. Its not lesser. to fresh, its different. 2) canned tomatoes can be amazing if you're using a good quality tomato that's canned at the peek of freshness.

    • @mrfro2000
      @mrfro2000 9 месяцев назад

      Agree- too many people (like commenters here) think "fresh pasta" > "dried pasta". They are 2 different things and typically used w/ different sauces. Although I heard that Carbone uses "fresh" pasta for their rigatoni, for a vodka sauce (which is relatively rich) they probably shouldn't. BTW that mushroom pasta looks like its fresh (not dried).

    I've only been to the one in Las Vegas, but I enjoyed it. Definitely not the best Italian I've had but not nearly as bad as many here make it out to be (the menu is pretty much the same as NYC). I do find it a little frustrating when people respond to a meal or dish with "well I've had better X at Y, therefore this food isn't very good". I dont go into every meal expecting it to be the best I've ever had. I'd rather judge a place on its own merits rather than whether other places are better, or assuming a restaurant is amazing because of hype.
    Diaclaimer: I don't live in NYC and this don't have access to world-class Italian on every block. :)
    Love the vids, though; just subscribed yesterday.

  • @Edmontonoilers4life1
    @Edmontonoilers4life1 Год назад +7

    You said the sauce was runny and not thick, but in your video the sauce consistency of the rigatoni looks perfect. Not runny at all and clinging perfectly to the pasta. I'm sure the place is overrated for the price, but most of your feedback seems manufactured and forced. Saying they used boxed dry pasta for a rigatoni and taking points off, when that dish, and a lot of pasta dishes, are supposed to be made with dry pasta, is also dumb and forced.

  • @joelashadali

    I'm sorry but even before you finished/ rated it ....these places are getting out of their minds with prices on pasta dishes. Same with the price for two meatballs.
    Fyi sugar is adding to balance out the acidity and is often added to freshly made sauce,not just canned sauce.

    I have eaten at Carbone twice. The first time was a lucky walk-in. They had just received a cancellation. At that time they still had their 1 Star. We both thought it was OK but just so. The menu was uninspired.
    The second time we ate there we were given a friend’s reservation. By this time Carbone had lost their single Star. At this dining experience the food and service were worse.
    This is a highly overrated pompous place. Even the decor appears worn and frayed.
    It reminds me of the current iteration of the Russian Tea Room. Once great and now a low quality tourist attraction.

    @t0rnt0pieces Год назад +1

    I've been to Carbone a couple times. I agree with your overall assessment that it's way overhyped and the food is mostly pretty average. However, there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY they are using boxed pasta. I 100% guarantee you that it is all made in-house, including the dried/extruded stuff like the rigatoni. The one dish there that I think is awesome is the rigatoni vodka, so I'll disagree with you on that one. I actually don't think the meatballs are anything special.

  • @Ira88881

    You have to up your culinary knowledge:
    How the heck could it be fresh mozzarella imported from ITALY!?
    Also, anyone with ANY culinary cooking interest at all can make pasta at home as good or better than ANY Italian restaurant…in addition to MEATBALLS! You don’t go to a restaurant to OVERPAY for this stuff!
    Veal, fish, eggplant, certain steak dishes…dishes harder to make at home…maybe. But still wouldn’t overpay.
    To order those simple pasta dishes that you did, to pay those ridiculous prices, well, it’s a free country.
