At its octogenarian milestone, Carbone’s, one of Hartford’s most noteworthy landmark restaurants, shows no sign of slowing. The Franklin Avenue establishment remains a destination for fine Italian fare, a time-honored choice for birthdays, anniversaries and other special nights out. It’s attracted celebrities, politicians and generations of families alike, who’ve come to expect dinner and a show as Carbone’s displays its signature preparations, rolling out carts for intricate tableside cooking.

To commemorate its 80th year, Carbone’s is serving a Roman Dinner on weekdays from April 2 through June 29. Guests who opt for the celebratory seven-course menu ($65; $80 with wine pairings) will be treated to a tour of specialties: fig bruschetta with prosciutto di parma and housemade ricotta; ravioloni filled with sausage, spinach and mushroom; grilled diver scallops with shrimp and sunchokes; and a pepper-crusted petite filet with dolce gorgonzola and veal glace.
