Carbone is a celebrity-favorite red-sauce Italian restaurant in Greenwich Village/SoHo, known less for a walk-up sidewalk line and more for how hard it is to land a table at all — the restaurant does not accept walk-ins.
Reporting describes reservations as released online 30 days in advance at 10am and disappearing quickly, with the restaurant's three small dining rooms (about 72 seats total) staying consistently full across service. Practical guidance from what we found: plan around the 30-day booking window rather than expecting to walk in, and expect dinner service to be the hardest slot to secure.
Patterns as reported by press and regulars — not measured by damnlines.
damnlines doesn't have a live camera at Carbone yet, so we can't show a real-time line count. That said, reporting on the restaurant is consistent: walk-ins aren't accepted at all, so there typically isn't a walk-up sidewalk line to measure — the real bottleneck is the reservation, which is described as very hard to land.
No. Search results consistently describe Carbone as reservation-only, with no walk-in seating offered.
Reservations are reported to be released online 30 days in advance at 10am, and they're described as going quickly given the restaurant's small footprint (three dining rooms, about 72 seats total).
Reported hours are Monday 5:00pm–11:30pm, and Tuesday–Sunday 11:30am–2:00pm and 5:00pm–11:30pm. Always confirm current hours directly with the restaurant before visiting, since hours can change.
We don't have first-hand timing data, but reporting suggests booking right when the 30-day reservation window opens (10am) gives the best odds, since availability is described as scarce.
