Media | CARBONE VINO

Coconut Grove is buzzing with excitement, thanks to a wave of new restaurant openings, real estate developments, and community enhancements. Among these, one restaurant stands out above the rest: CARBONE VINO. Since officially opening its doors in December, it has captured the spotlight and garnered widespread attention from major media outlets, solidifying its place as a standout in Miami’s vibrant dining scene.

The excitement surrounding CARBONE VINO continues to grow, with outlets like Bloomberg, Rolling Stone and World Red Eye sharing the news. Each publication has highlighted the allure of this new space, from its elevated design to the impeccable culinary experience it delivers.

As the younger sibling to the iconic CARBONE, this wine-centric concept offers a rich and immersive experience, blending timeless charm with modern sophistication. It also marks a milestone for Coconut Grove, further establishing the neighborhood as a destination for exceptional dining. Following the success of Sereia, which we proudly designed earlier this year, CARBONE VINO adds yet another layer to the culinary tapestry we’ve helped create in Miami.

From the moment its plans were announced, CARBONE VINO captured the attention of not just Miami locals but also food enthusiasts nationwide. As one of the cornerstone concepts in Major Food Group’s celebrated portfolio, the success and reputation of the CARBONE brand has only amplified the acclaim for this new venture, with media outlets spotlighting its ability to deliver something truly extraordinary.

So, what Makes CARBONE VINO Stand Out?

1. MFG: Major Food Group, founded by Mario Carbone, Rich Torrisi, and Jeff Zalaznick, has redefined world-class dining experiences for many years now. Starting with Torrisi Italian Specialties, a humble Italian-American eatery in New York City, which set the stage for their groundbreaking success. The opening of CARBONE in 2013 in Greenwich Village marked a pivotal moment, blending high-end dining with a bold, nostalgic aesthetic and setting a new standard for unforgettable hospitality.

2. An Exclusive Experience: With an expertly curated wine list featuring rare vintages and exceptional selections that perfectly complement the menu, the experience is both refined and indulgent. The opulent interiors, designed with meticulous attention to detail, create a space that exudes timeless sophistication, while the intimate atmosphere invites guests to savor every moment. 

3. 1. Design That Speaks Volumes

   A celebration of old-school Italian glamour with a Miami twist, CARBONE VINO’s interiors transport guests to a moody and romantic setting reminiscent of a bygone era. The venue features a variety of environments, including a main dining room, a lively lounge, and an intimate private dining room—each boasting unique elements. Among the highlights are works of art curated by renowned gallerist and Major Food Group collaborator Vito Schnabel, featuring pieces by artists such as Rene Ricard, Lola Montes, Francesco Clemente, and Julian Schnabel.

   The design expertly combines low, intimate ceilings, rich dark joinery, and vintage furniture to create a cozy yet sophisticated atmosphere. This interplay of exclusivity and warmth results in a space where timeless elegance meets modern charm.

Warm lighting and a carefully curated color palette, featuring signature fine wine and deep blue hues, add a refined touch. The main bar, with its burnished bronze accents and soft arch design, serves as a striking centerpiece that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding dining areas. Heavy velvet drapes, gold-accented wallpaper, and intricately crafted ceilings further enhance the venue’s sophisticated yet welcoming vibe.

Every detail has been thoughtfully executed, from custom-made leather-upholstered banquettes to meticulously sourced ceramic tiles, ensuring the space flows harmoniously while maintaining its energetic character. The result is a design that not only speaks volumes but invites guests to linger, savor, and immerse themselves in the experience.

Looking Ahead

The excitement surrounding CARBONE VINO continues to grow as it becomes a cherished destination for food and wine enthusiasts. Meanwhile, we’re thrilled to announce our partnership with Major Food Group on a second venture: bringing the original CARBONE to one of the world’s most luxurious destinations—The Royal Atlantis in Dubai.

This upcoming project promises to uphold the legacy of innovation and excellence that defines the CARBONE brand, and we’re honored to play a role in its journey.

Stay tuned for more updates and keep an eye on the press as CARBONE VINO’s story continues to unfold, and CARBONE Dubai prepares to break ground ahead of its grand debut in Q4 of 2025.
