What people say, in short
Diners recommend Carbone in South Beach, with several pushing back on its reputation as overrated. One specifically praises the grandma bread, and another likes the spicy rigatoni enough to struggle with recreating it at home. Reservations and value are recurring caveats: two describe booking as a hassle, although one thinks it has become easier. One diner calls it expensive, another finds the food acceptable but overrated, and a separate commenter also considers it overhyped. The comments disagree more about value and reputation than about whether it has fans.
