"Almost everybody that's grown up in the United States can relate to the experience of the mid-century style American Italian restaurant. Red and white checkered tablecloths, breadsticks, etc. We wanted to do that idea - but actually do it really well." [07:00]

"My job at Carbone is to finish the night. Every single customer gets free limoncello and infused grappa." [13:00]
