The Table

Where you dine defines your weekend. Standout reservations across Miami include:

Carbone Miami
A cultural icon of Italian-American dining and one of the most coveted tables in the city. One of the most recognizable names in modern culinary history, CARBONE pays homage to the iconic Italian restaurants that pulsed with life throughout New York City in the 1950s and 60s. The original location debuted in Manhattan’s Greenwich Village in 2012 and was hailed as the restaurant that elevated New York-style Italian cuisine to unprecedented heights while giving the fine dining landscape a much-needed jolt of energy, soul, and fun. In the years since, CARBONE has become something even greater than a collection of revered restaurants in Las Vegas, London, Hong Kong, Miami Beach, Dallas, Doha, Riyadh, and Dubai. It is a cultural sensation and, very proudly, the standard bearer of an essential American heritage

Carbone Vino
A more relaxed extension offering rare wines and signature dishes. A member of the CARBONE family, CARBONE VINO presents all of the legendary restaurant’s signature dishes, a collection of extraordinary new additions to the repertoire, and a dynamic beverage program that gives guests the opportunity to enjoy fine and rare wines by the glass. A world-class bar serves the complete menu and welcomes walk-ins, making CARBONE VINO the kind of restaurant that diners can visit time and time again for everything from a milestone celebration to an impromptu meal orchestrated to perfection.
