Carbone's Place Reviews

One of the best pasta I ever had. Absolutely perfect.

Great pizza, but there's no point in saying your open until 10pm when you close the kitchen at 9. Lots of people like to get late night pizza and your shop is one of the few good ones that only open a couple days a week.

Great ambience, service and location. Went for dinner on Friday night to celebrate our anniversary. As we sat we got some slices of bread with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. We ordered the egg plant chips which was a healthy serving of finger slices of eggplant in a lovely crumb which was not oily served with sour cream and sweet chilli sauce. Our mains were slow braised pork belly which was a good serving with salad and home made potato chunky chips. The pork belly was melt in your mouth succulent. The other main was the best ever salt and pepper calamari also served with salad and chips. I could have done with a few more calamari. Natalie was our waitress who kept checking on us right through the evening. We were very impressed with her service and also the other members on the team who were working very well. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Carbones and plan to have a birthday celebration in the near future. Din't know about this hidden gem down the road from where we live.

Great pizzas, reasonably priced and friendly service.

What a funky place, it reminds me of the cafes in Italy.
A definite recommendation if you enjoy traditional Italian cooking.
I highly give it the thumbs up coming from a real fussy eater.

Dined here tonight with my family. 1 star is being generous. The service was terrible it took two attempts to order a glass of white wine that when it arrived was warm. The calamari was of the frozen variety, the $28+ Paella came luke warm, closed mussels, frozen seafood, my daughter s chicken snitzel was burnt and inedible! When l asked to speak to the Manager she was too busy to listen to my feedback. No discredit to the waitress as she was the only one who appeared to be working and was lovely. Hardly any customers in the restaurant and all up our experience took 2 hours for 5 meals. Will not be back and definitely do not recommend anyone else try either.

Best place in the area love the pizza and pasta keep it up

Pizza was so good! Had a gathering with family and friends and waiter was Terrific! would definitely come back again

Pizza was very yummy but customer service was very slow that night

Food was reasonably good although the customer service ruined the whole experience. Could hear owner yelling at workers and our food was brought out at different times, felt uncomfortable eating here wouldn't recommend.

Unfortunately had to wait over an hour for my dinner. Because of a large delivery order.

There is always something not quite right. You order a spicy pizza one week and the next week the spicy sausage used previously isn't available and so the pizza isn't spicy. Your not told until you've tasted and it isn't spicy like last week. Service is a little hit or miss. In general the food is tasty but not all ingredients are available week in week out. A shorter menu that changes based off seasonality would be better. Being close to a park keeps the kids entertained.

Lovely coffees and lunch was very nice. Service quick and friendly. All round good place to come

Best Parma I've ever had!
Pizzas & pasta are always delicious too

A nice little restaurant which serves a great chicken parma. Absolutely love the parma they serve.

Best gluten free in the area. Good food and service. Pleasant.

Not much else around. Doesn't have a lot to compare with or beat. Stock standard Italian menu

Just got a parma delivered and it was 10/10 will Deffo be getting another! Cheers

Pasta and pizzas were good. Outdoor courtyard with heaters was comfortable.

Serving sizes good, pasta was... Ok.
Recommend the pizza instead.

Great place with sensational food and atmosphere. The owners really look after you. A real family vibe in a comfortable setting....highly recommend it.

This place is wonderful, the staff are lovely and the food is absolutely delicious.

Great small place good food tucked away at the back of Mont Park had a very nice gnocchi Boscaiola. Would highly recommend it for the guy's and gals at MSN

You won't find fresher ingredients or tastier pizza than Carbone's Place. Authentic Italian at a great price

Pizza took 90 minutes and arrived stone cold. Although, I received a full refund.

Very disappointing. Charging upwards of $19 for a pizza of this standard is unacceptable.
I feel this place would be accepted as the only convenient place within walking distance for a lot of people, however the price tag is way too high.
The ingredients were fresh although the base tasted like a salada biscuit.
good if you like saladas.

BTw this was taken on an iPhone 10 which has an amazing camera.

Small family business, which they take a lot of pride in. Hard-working staff; absolutely delicious and authentic Italian food. Great value for money. Cozy place. Gluten-Free options available, but sometimes sold out. They love sourcing the best hand-made products such as pizza bases and ice creams.

A great spot to and a great breakfast to start my day!

Absolute rubbish. Ordered a Hawaiian / Aussie. Couldn't see the pizza slices so cut it myself, all the topping fell off when I picked up a slice and the base was like spaghetti. Lost me as a customer

Booked it out for a 40th birthday and was not let down - hosts Anthony & Giovanna ensured a beautiful night with delicious food and a cosy, intimate atmosphere. Thanks guys!

Very bad experience no drinks menu entree came 15 mins apart, the wrong meal was served had to ask for cutlery and very bad smells coming from their rubbish bins
I don't like giving bad reviews but this time it was so bad

Great food, coffee and wine. More importantly the friendly service.

Pizza was just the way it should be, thin base, fresh, good quality ingredients and plenty of topping. We look forward to going back again

Great place, Pizza is excellent. Made proper just like a real Italian pizza.

Absolute Lovely place for Valentine's day~
Thanks again for the best service provided from the new girl(I forgot to ask her name lol).

Absolutely great, amazing food with an intermit atmosphere!

Absolutely delicious food and Gr8 service, will definitely be back again

Fresh, delicious, competitively priced and diverse menu. After 3 sittings i can safely say,
IMPRESSIVE!

Didn't want to honor website pricing. Will never go back!

Cosy place for family and groups gathering! Pet friendly.
The eggplant chips are so good so crunchy and match well with the plain yogurt and Thai Chili sauce. Vegetarian pizza beyond expectations! Who would imagine pumpkin and potato can be pizza toppings?!

I use to like this place as everyday coffee place. Sit and enjoy coffee with work mates. Lately the lady there is been rude and wingy, which is annoying to see first thing in the morning. I expect to come back happy from a cafe.

So no more carbones for me.

Great food service and atmosphere! Will go back! :)

This places has a great cosy atmosphere, has a lovely layout, and the greatest pizza I've ever put in my mouth! Nothing but fresh home-made ingredients here.

Awsome food, great service and a family business to boot.

Nice cosy place. Reasonable prices. Good food. Staff could be friendlier ..

After going to Carbone's on New Years eve, the experience was dissapointing. The Calamari was overcooked and chewy, the Parma was burnt and we had to ask multiple times for simple things such as a sauce with the calamari etc. To top it off, the waitress scraped the plates at our table, so unprofessional... Don't reccomend.

Extremely disappointed, I ordered a pizza at 8.17pm I just received it now 10.02pm, Pizza it's cold small for a family pizza, pffffff. never again

Regularly attend with some rather questionable characters, however, despite the company the cuisine shines brightly through. Quite possibly the best Parma in Melbourne! Keep up the good work team

We tried eggplant chips for the first time there. It was amazing. Always good to try something different in your own backyard!
Lovely staff.

Absolutely disgusting. Food took two hours to arrive, despite us calling twice and being told it s on its way . When it finally arrived, the driver phoned us from the car, and asked us to go down the driveway to collect the food from him while he sat in the car.
Drinks that we paid for were missing, the pasta container was squashed and open, the pizza was cold and inedible. No resolution offered by the restaurant when we called to tell them. Appalling service, terrible food, and unscrupulous operators.

Amazing food and great service. Would highly recommend.

This place was recommended by a friend (we re new to the area). Very very happy with our dinner experience on Sunday! Tried the antipasto entree, and two pizzas (marinara and meat lovers). Delicious toasty warm pizza base, and refreshing beer on tap. Service was great, food was spot on.

We were able to take leftovers home and will surely be ordering delivered pizza during the lockdown!!
