Carbone Dallas, the Italian-American restaurant created by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi and Jeff Zalaznick, which opened to great fanfare in March, 2022 and delighted patrons with its famous Spicy Rigatoni Vodka, Seafood Salad, Linguini Vongole, Lobster Fra Diavola, Chicken Scarpariello and Veal Parmesan, has elevated to new heights in its Design District location.
This summer, Chef Mario Carbone curates his first seasonal menu for Carbone Dallas, inspired by the freshest tomatoes, only available through the end of August. Two of the dishes, Veal Milanese and Scallops Riserva, are new to Carbone and exclusive to CarboneDallas, offering guests a chance to discover the lighter dishes on the famed menu.
Each menu item captures the fresh essence of the season, delivering Chef Carbone’s blend of tradition and contemporary culinary artistry. About the tomato, Chef Carbone says, “This is the most important ingredient.”
