Carbone Vino

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The CARBONE Experience, Reimagined for Miami

Carbone Vino is the Coconut Grove expression of one of America's most celebrated Italian-American restaurant brands. Created by Major Food Group — the company co-founded by Chef Mario Carbone, Chef Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick — this Grand Avenue address carries the full weight of the CARBONE name while adding features conceived specifically for this location.

"We've tried to create something truly special for Coconut Grove," says Chef Mario Carbone. "A restaurant that delivers the quintessential CARBONE experience while sharing wonderful new recipes that draw on years of refinement and our ongoing love affair with Italian cuisine." The ambition is clear: a place you return to again and again, not just once for the occasion.

A Wine Program Worth the Trip Alone

The beverage program is the defining feature that sets Carbone Vino apart. A 3,000-bottle cellar underpins a list of over 600 selections, with an ever-changing by-the-glass menu drawn from rare and iconic bottles. That commitment to wine has earned the restaurant Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for 2025 — recognition that reflects genuine depth and curation, not just volume. Guests can also bring their own bottles under a clearly structured corkage policy.

Macaroni, Made Daily

The kitchen leans into Italian-American cuisine with a dedicated focus on fresh pasta. Chef Mario Carbone has added new macaroni selections to the repertoire: Pumpkin Agnolotti, Tortellini with Truffles, and Spaghettini Bambini — the latter an elevated take on the buttered noodles Italian children grow up eating, finished here with grass-fed butter and aged Parmigiano Reggiano. Every piece of pasta is crafted in-house daily.

The Bar and the Cannoli Sundae

A world-class bar serves the complete menu and welcomes walk-ins, making Carbone Vino genuinely accessible on a whim — rare for a restaurant of this caliber. The dress code signals that the room takes itself seriously, but the spirit is celebratory rather than stiff. Close the meal with the Cannoli Sundae: homemade cannoli-flavored soft serve topped with chopped pistachios, chocolate bits, and a fresh-fried cannoli shell — a signature detail that captures the restaurant's balance of refinement and pleasure.
