Carbone Brings NYC's Theatrical Italian Dining to Mayfair

When Mario Carbone and Jeff Zalaznick speak of creating 'somewhere we dreamed of eating at,' they've certainly delivered beyond mere aspiration. The duo's theatrical approach to Italian-American cuisine has made Carbone a New York institution, and now Mayfair benefits from their particular brand of culinary theatre. What sets this venture apart isn't simply the transport of recipes across the Atlantic, but rather the meticulous attention to atmosphere that has made the original such a phenomenon. The restaurant's blend of vintage glamour and contemporary sophistication feels perfectly suited to Mayfair's discerning palate. For a neighbourhood that has witnessed countless restaurant openings, Carbone arrives with genuine pedigree and a proven formula. The question isn't whether it will succeed, but how quickly reservations will become the stuff of legend. This is decidedly worth experiencing – if you can secure a table.
