Carnevino.... Oh how I wanted to like you but you fell flat on your face.
The good: The ambience was nice.
The bad:
1) Supposedly the "best ribeye in Vegas". I am not sure how this came to be. The ribeye I shared apparently had been visited by a flavor vampire that sucked all of the taste out of the meat.
2) We asked for medium and were told they cook a touch rare - that's ok thanks for the heads up. So we asked to make it more toward a traditional medium. Instead we get rare - borderline cold.
3) Dessert - a chocolate/peanut butter combination that was void of flavor.
4) Wine - I am a wine snob. I know there are markups. But I am not kidding when I saw some 250-500% markups. For a comparisons I drank a bottle of a 2004 Burgundy premier Cru at Joel Robuchon for 195.00. At Carnevino I found a comparable 2012 for 395.00.
5) They attempt to cover up the lack of flavor with their meats by pouring olive oil on the meat.
The ugly:
1) An expensive tasteless meal with an overpriced wine selection.
The disgusting:
1) My lady and I shared the ribeye and we each came down with a wicked case of food poising. There is zero doubt that Carnevino was the culprit as we had identical symptoms and they occurred nearly simultaneously.
Zero stars if possible.
