Only if
Famous for rejecting Justin Bieber after he showed up without a reservation, it’s safe to say Carbone is exclusive.
A restaurant · West Village · on three of my lists
Carbone.
Worth it, says Antonina. While savoring every bite of the spicy vodka rigatoni I knew there were countless others who couldn’t get reservations to the elegant Italian restaurant.

Smartly-dressed servers mill about the crammed restaurant, expertly gliding from one table to the next while clutching glistening plates of tortetini al ragu and fettuccine con funghi.

Smartly-dressed servers mill about the crammed restaurant, expertly gliding from one table to the next while clutching glistening plates of tortetini al ragu and fettuccine con funghi. It’s the quintessential New York City Italian joint most visitors have in mind when they ask about the best places to eat in the West Village.
Word to the wise, splitting the flaming bananas foster is the only way to properly cap the night.
My advice: be patient, reservations are available 30 days in advance.
What I wrote thereFold it away
I visited Carbone the week after the Biebers were denied entrance because they didn’t have a reservation. It felt nice knowing I’m not the only one struggling with hard to get reservations in New York City.
