Carbone

New York

Italian Restaurant

$$$$

With all due respect to Italian grandmothers everywhere, Carbone -- under the leadership of Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick -- <em>may</em> just have the best red sauce, ever. It's not a surprise that this Greenwich Village restaurant requires a reservation a month in advance. If you <em>can</em> get in, be sure to order the outstanding spicy rigatoni vodka. You can believe the Instagram hype.
