Ritzy West Village red sauce joint Carbone is serving up more than just $50 linguine and clams — the high-end eatery’s offerings also include flies and contamination, according to its latest city health inspection, which found continued sanitary violationsThe perennially-buzzy white tablecloth spot — which has also been hiding the “B” letter grade it has had since 2023 — was cited in a September probe for additional health violations like flies and food not sufficiently protected from contamination, according to Department of Health records.

Inspectors also concluded the eatery was “not free of harborage or conditions conducive to rodents, insects or other pests.”NJ teacher accused of having sex with student in classroom showed off hubby in sappy social media pic House GOP rejects Senate-passed DHS funding bill — but Trump will pay TSA separately to stop airport chaos Carbone’s latest inspection, which racked up 22 violation points from health inspectors, came just two months after a July 16 inspection resulted in 17 points – for food left above safe temperatures and deficient dishwashing equipment, but no evidence of pests. A Post reporter’s recent visit to the Thompson Street site – where the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Rihanna and the Kardashians have grazed on the likes of $100 veal parmesan and $50 chicken Scarpariello since it opened in 2012 — also found the restaurant still hasn’t been posting its letter grade for passersby to see, despite a city law requiring it.Kendall Jenner goes to dinner with Joan Smalls and Gigi Hadid at Carbone on November 19, 2019 in New York City.A rep for Carbone declined to comment on the new health violations or absence of the mandatory 8 x 10 letter grade sign. “When you’re going somewhere that’s so hyped and also expensive, you expect a certain standard across the board, including cleanliness and food safety,” fumed 24-year-old Carbone diner Anna Panayiotou to The Post. “Especially for such a well-known restaurant that’s been around for a long time, I would have expected a much better health rating.”Halsey and boyfriend Avan Jogia seen out for dinner at Carbone restaurant on September 06, 2024 in New York City.“Honestly, I’m not shocked,” chimed in 32-year-old food reviewer Bianca, who visited the restaurant for the first time last month. “I think there are a lot ofStill, Bianca called the below-A rating “definitely disappointing. “For a restaurant like Carbone that’s positioned as upscale and has such a strong reputation, you’d expect them to take something like seriously and correct it right away.”ASAP Rocky and Rihanna are seen at Carbone to celebrate ASAP Rocky’s birthday on October 04, 2023 in New York City.Carbone was first scolded by inspectors in May 2013, when a visit found several holes in the ceiling and liquid waste “leaking directly onto floor under culinary sink,” according to inspection notes obtained by The Post. Inspectors have since found dozens of issues over the years — including octopus being cooked in “non-food grade” zip-lock bags, black mildew buildup on an ice machine, a fruit fly infestation, “65 fresh mice excreta” on the floor and an equipment storage shelf placed under an exposed sewer line.“Especially for such a well-known restaurant that’s been around for a long time, I would have expected a much better health rating,” one diner said.“I do think Carbone is intentionally not displaying it, and that alone feels unacceptable and untrustworthy,” Bianca said. “The health grade system exists for transparency, so customers can make informed decisions before walking in.”“Personally, I think a ‘B’ grade is still generally safe,” said Massachusetts resident Nicole, who visited Carbone earlier this month. “I didn’t notice whether the grade was displayed, and it likely wouldn’t have changed my decision to dine there,” the 25-year-old said.NJ teacher accused of having sex with student in classroom showed off hubby in sappy social media pic Disgraced Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes just caught a break in court — and prosecutors aren’t happy Exactly how much money it takes to be rich in every US state — and for some it's more than sevenfold the median incomeLI woman suing Instagram over eating disorder says 'old man' Mark Zuckerberg doesn't understand 'experiences of young girls' Dr. Barbara Sturm added an under-$100 peptide serum to her celeb-approved skincare line — and we tried itTaylor Frankie Paul’s mom addressed granddaughter’s condition after 2023 arrestFlorida Rep. found guilty on 25 counts by House Ethics CommitteeKendall Jenner goes to dinner with Joan Smalls and Gigi Hadid at Carbone on November 19, 2019 in New York City.Halsey and boyfriend Avan Jogia seen out for dinner at Carbone restaurant on September 06, 2024 in New York City.ASAP Rocky and Rihanna are seen at Carbone to celebrate ASAP Rocky's birthday on October 04, 2023 in New York City."Especially for such a well-known restaurant that’s been around for a long time, I would have expected a much better health rating," one diner said.Stream It Or Skip It: 'Jo Nesbø's Detective Hole' On Netflix, Where A Troubled Detective Tracks Down A Serial Killer Who Is Terrorizing Oslo
