Other restaurants (ex: Carbone) had every dinner slot snapped up literally within 2-3 minutes.
Skipping Carbone should be considered a win. The ultimate Emperor's New Clothes restaurant. It's typical red sauce italian fare, granted SLIGHTLY better than you'd find at a normal red sauce Italian but at like 10x the price. Oh $125 for veal parm! Sweet! $40 for 3 meatballs? What a steal!
