Specialty of the House, Part IX:
Special Occasions

We have a number of special occasions at Carbone’s. Some, like our chef-side dining, are ongoing, some take place once or twice a year.

Here’s a calendar. Call us for information if you’re interested in any or all of them.

Chef-Side Dining. Every Thursday and Friday, head chef Paul Rafala or owner Vincent Carbone will come up to your table and tell you about that night’s specials. If you order one, they’ll come to your table and prepare it for you. (Of course, salads and some desserts are prepared tableside all the time.)

Wine Dinners. An opportunity to go with the flow, in a manner of speaking — fine wines (ours or yours) for each course. Twice a year.

Wine Bins. You can keep your favorite fine wines in one of our bins. It’s a very convenient arrangement. What’s more, you can even buy your wine through the restaurant and save money.

Cigar Parties. Sinful, but so much fun. Once a year. Outdoors, under the stars.

Roman Dinners. This is an Italian style sampler. Our chef prepares a four-to-six-course meal — taking dishes from our menu and preparing them in smaller portions. The chef will talk with you and your guests about what they want him to make.

Valentine’s Day. Why not spend the most romantic day of the year at the most romantic restaurant in town? But please, make your reservations far in advance. Love lasts forever, but reservations go quickly.

New Year’s Eve. Make a resolution to bring in the new year in style. Again, make your reservations far in advance.

Theme parties. From Mardi Gras celebrations to Parrot Head parties,
Carbone’s is where the fun is.
