I have been to Carnevino several times, and I have never been disappointed. I love walking through the shops at the Palazzo before dinner. The atmosphere is relaxed and inviting, and they always do a great job accomodating those who eat gluten free. On my last visit, two of my friends were gluten free, and they were able to eat almost everything due to the variety of gluten free options.
On this visit, I started with Zach's chopped salad with salumi and parmigiano. Delicious!! Our table shared a few pasta dishes. The most notable were the orechiette with sweet sausage and brocolli rabe and the bucatini with amatriciana sauce. I loved the way the orechiette soaked up the sausage bits. Yum! The pancetta in the bucatini dish was fabulous as well.
One friend and I had the florentine porterhouse for 2 and it was outstanding. They carve the meat tableside, and it is a really fun experience. The beef was perfectly cooked, it was just unfortunate that I was already full by this point. The italian brocolli we had on the side was garlicky and scrumptious.
We were beyond stuffed by this point, so we passed on dessert, but every option on the menu looked delicious. Carnevino also had a vast selection of Italian wines, and the staff is incredibly helpful in aiding in pairings and such. I can't wait to go back!
