Carbone, the Italian-American restaurant that’s become a global celebrity favourite, is making its debut in Dubai on October 6, 2025. The new place will be located on the ground floor of Atlantis The Royal. If you’ve heard the name in rap songs — like Drake’s mention in “Spin Bout U” — you already know this is a spot where you’ll need a reservation. And just like that song, getting a table here might feel just as exclusive as it sounds.

The design of Carbone will immediately transport guests to the golden age of glamour, featuring dazzling chandeliers, art collections, velvet seating in rich jewel tones, and a sleek bar in the heart of the room. The dining experience is all about theatrical moments, with attentive service to match. For those wanting something a little more private, there’s a semi-private dining room that can accommodate up to 40 guests.

The menu draws inspiration from 1950s New York City dining rooms, with a menu packed with the signature dishes that made Carbone famous: Caesar alla ZZ, Spicy Rigatoni, Linguini Vongole, Veal Parmesan, and more.

Wine lovers will enjoy a list of over 450 labels, including rare vintages and exclusive selections, perfect for pairing with these elevated Italian-American dishes.

Carbone Dubai will be the tenth branch of the iconic spot, with locations already in cities like New York, London, Doha, and Riyadh. The restaurant has attracted big names like Adele, Barack Obama, Jennifer Lopez, and the Kardashians, making it clear that the Dubai outpost will quickly become another hotspot for A-list visitors.
