10 out of 10, must try again! The service was amazing. Everyone was very welcoming, very happy and very wholesome and so helpful. The food was beyond the 10! Outstanding quality, presentation and taste! The drinks are super strong, which I love so much and the way they are set up and presented to you are excellent. There’s no way anyone can ever tell me that this is a bad place to go to. I enjoyed myself to the max and I most definitely will recommend this to all my friends and family.

I’ve been coming to Carbonara Trattoria for many years, and it continues to hold a very special place for me. The food is as delicious as ever—consistently flavorful, comforting, and beautifully prepared. Every visit reminds me why this restaurant has been a favorite for so long.
I also want to express sincere gratitude for Patrick’s professionalism and hospitality. He truly makes guests feel welcome and taken care of, and you can tell how much he cares about the restaurant and the people who walk through the door. It’s clear he’s putting a lot of heart into keeping Carbonara moving in a great direction.
It was also such a relief and genuine excitement to see Alex back working there. Alex has always been fantastic, and having her back adds so much to the warm atmosphere that longtime guests love.
As someone who has been coming here for years, I’ll admit I was patiently waiting for things to turn around a bit—and it really looks like that’s well underway. The energy feels positive again, and it’s wonderful to see.
I also want to say how much I miss seeing Rafik there. He built something truly special, and his presence has always meant a lot to longtime guests like me. I hope he’s enjoying some very well-deserved relaxation and time away, knowing the place he created continues to bring people together.
Carbonara is still a gem, and I’m excited to keep coming back.

We celebrated our 4th anniversary at this wonderful restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The food was absolutely amazing—each dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was equally enchanting, striking the perfect balance between cozy and vibrant, making our night feel truly special.
A huge shoutout to our waiter, who went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening. His attentive service and thoughtful suggestions made all the difference. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a milestone. We’re so glad we chose this gem for our anniversary! Highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience!

We have loved Carbonara and brought friends and met with family here. Twice now we have been seated on the “patio.” The service is absolutely the worst if you are seated there. You get one server who apparently has tables inside as well so you wait for EVERYTHING.
Last nights dinner for two before tip was $165. The steak was raw and sent back to the kitchen. When it returned it was still very undercooked. The server didn’t wait to have my bf check it for doneness and didn’t notice when boxing that it was the whole thing he was boxing up for him. Never saw a manager about the returned steak either. We waiting ridiculous time for drinks from the bar and my cappuccino with dessert was cool and bitter.
Utilizing the porch for a patio would be a great idea if they staffed it. The way you are treated however seems like they are just in it to get as much money as they can.
This was probably our last visit for a long time. Too expensive to be ignored.

I looked for a restaurant in the Dunwoody/ Sandy Springs area that was friendly, quaint, and had good food reviews – found it. This family run business really cares and it shows. Patrick assisted in reservations and communicated all options. The restaurant is lovely inside with intimated lighting and table cloths . The menu is diverse with a food choice for those with dietary preferences. Leisure dining allows you time to enjoy your courses, drinks, and company. We were a party of 5. We ordered a variety of food selection – Vegetarian eggplant parmigiana,, fish dishes -trout and salmon , side pasta, chicken Marsala , veal piccata , salads , mussels , and wine . No room for dessert this time . Needless to say we will be back. Olivia and Emma plus the other staff were available and seemed to know if we needed anything without having to ask. Please note they are busy on weekends so sit back , enjoy , and be patient .

Sadly this was a disappointing experience. This is a long post.
We went to Carbonara Trattoria on a Tuesday for my birthday. It was surprisingly busy so we sat in the bar area at a high top table. The bartender was our server and he was understandably busy. He provided pretty good service based on this. We ordered three courses and wine. Spoiler*
only two courses made it to our table.
The salad came out quick and was good. The second, carbonara pasta, took a good 30/40 minutes to come out and was honestly way too salty. All during this time one of the owners was interacting with ONE table or 3 ladies or behind the bar chatting with another set of customers.
After another 30/40 MINUTES, the bartender came over to ask if we would like dessert. We tokd him we ordered one more course, which seemed to take him by surprise. After going to the kitchen he came back and said it would be out shortly. Clearly he forgot to put it in (ok, mistakes happen). 10/15 min later my husband stood up btwn the table and bar waiting for the bartender. We couldn’t stay if it was not out very soon. At this point we had been there an hour and a half.
The owner was right there socializing.He looked up briefly at my husband but offered no assistance. Bartender finally came back and We let him know we could not wait. He kindly offered a dessert to go.
At the register the owner removed the entree that never came. We paid the bill he came out from behind the bar. I assumed he was coming over to our table. Nope. Went to the three ladies across from us with a bottle of wine and actually started having some with them.
To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I had been looking forward to this restaurant and it made for a terrible Birthday. $80 + a 20% tip.

One of the best hidden gems in Dunwoody! Great little family restaurant, which is always packed because the food is always great and Service is fantastic! By far one of the best fillets in town!
The daily specials are culinary delights and the Seafood, muscles,Bronzino, and Salmon are the best if you’re not in the mood for filet mignon, which is my favorite.

Came here Saturday night before the Super Bowl with my cousins in town from afar. The wait for a table was long- even with reservations- but the food was worth it. Service started strong but fell off toward the end, which meant we missed out on dessert we were excited to try. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, but they could tighten up the service to match the quality of the food.

It was a Friday night and the place was packed. People waiting in the lobby absolutely delicious meal. Great atmosphere got to spend a long time at the table, celebrating a friend’s birthday. We brought the cake and the restaurant provided plates. It was a delicious italian evening with good friends and great food!

Food here was exceptionally made, delectable and well portioned. Only thing not great was our appetizers of steamed mussels came with about 5-6 empty shells which is nearly a third of the portion. Wish they’d take the time to check this before sending it out to us, but we didn’t say anything.
I asked for a cocktail menu and was told that they had a full bar. As a person who doesn’t typically drink, it wasn’t helpful to not have a menu to choose from so I ended up not ordering anything.
Service was both exceptional and lacking at the same time for us. We had a waiter who was very attentive and even friendly to other tables. However, he was less attentive with us though we sat closest to the entry point of the outdoor space so he had to walk by us every time he came in and out. We had to ask multiple times for refills, more bread, our check and often times waited long enough to stare at an empty table until he notices us (long waits between our appetizers until our entrees arrived). The bus boys however, were great, super professional and honestly served us more than our waiter did.
Atmosphere-wise, I think if we sat inside it would’ve been nice. We were sat outside but not at the restaurant’s designated patio space which seemed like a nice setting. It would have been fine except the space we were put in definitely felt like a makeshift area in front of the next door’s sidewalk. Felt a little like sitting in someone’s driveway.
