Old-school Italian: The phrase conjures up images of 1950s and ’60s New York restaurants, peopled by glamorous stars, with attentive servers hovering nearby. And, indeed, that’s the feel you get at Carbone at Aria, where the “captains” take charge of your table, giving you personal attention and making you feel like you’re a celebrity.

Carbone in Las Vegas, like the New York original, actually was inspired by those old-school restaurants and the Italian-American food served there. Here, Carbone’s swanky interior is divided into two main dining areas: one surrounded by curtained alcoves and with glamorous golden booths in the center space, and a separate room adjacent to the wooden bar. The musical selections here are mainly that Sinatra-style, with some other eras woven in—perfect for the vibe of the room.
