There are many steakhouses in Vegas and they're mostly backed by famed chefs or come with history so you can't really go wrong. I've tried a couple and I've to give props to Carnevino for being a uniquely Italian Steakhouse. What this means is that you get a lot of other great Italian dishes besides just steak.
I've tried Batali's other venture, B&B which was an all Italian restaurant which was pretty spectacular. Carnevino is able to deliver part of that refine italian cuisine and yet let you end of with that hearty unpretentious piece of meat you enjoy.
We had an excellent server who was funny and knew his Menu very well. Definitely made our experience with at Carnevino even better.
The wine list read like a yellow page...it was so comprehensive we didn't know where to begin. So if you like Italian, Steak and Wine then you've come to the right place.
As this is a delayed review I can't remember all the names of the dishes very well. I can say for sure that the Grilled Octopus is a must try, Beef Cheek Ravioli (not on Menu) was good, Truffle Pasta (seasonal) was so so..I find the truffle lacking flavor although their homemade pasta was superb. Then it was the steak, we ordered two Dry Aged Bone-in a Ribeye to share and it had great marbling which was definitely rock star of the evening.
I would consider this steakhouse my top 3 favorite steakhouses. Will be back for more.
