Carboni’s (Paris): Contemporary Italian Elegance in the Marais
Tucked away in the heart of the Marais, Carboni’s is a love letter to modern Italy, imagined by the talented duo Sabrina Goldin and Stéphane Abby. Rising from the ashes of their previous venture, this restaurant blends sophistication and conviviality within a setting that feels both authentic and inviting.
Ambience & Décor
Step inside and you’re greeted by raw-textured walls, marble-topped tables, and camel-toned banquettes that strike the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Hanging greenery breathes life into the space, while angled mirrors catch the daylight by day and the soft candle glow by night, creating a mood that shifts beautifully with time.
Cuisine, Wines & Hidden Pleasures
The menu pays homage to Italian culinary tradition while embracing a chef-driven creativity:
- Vitello tonnato, finely chopped and richly flavored
- Cacio e pepe crafted with handmade pici pasta — silky, textured, and indulgent
- Comforting lasagna and a crispy veal schnitzel Milanese-style
- For dessert: the kombu-infused almond affogato or a classic affogato for a timeless finale
Downstairs, a secret awaits: BAR SOTTO, an intimate speakeasy where inventive cocktails, natural wines, and vinyl beats come together to prolong the evening in style.
