| - I always hear about Carnevino and we finally got a chance to try it. Hostess was great, adjusted our table and sat us right away. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. A huge window towards the back to overlook the strip. In the middle of the room is a large wine table.
For appetizers we ordered:
**CARNE CRUDA ALLA PIEMONTESE
chopped to order Steak Tartare with raw mushrooms.
--My friend LOVES this dish, for me, it was ok. I don't eat raw beef that often unless I'm in Canada, but this was ok. Not too memorable for me.
**GRILLED OCTOPUS
pickled vegetables and limoncello
--This dish was my favorite. The minute you bite into it there's a shot of flavor that goes into your mouth.
**FRIED CALAMARI
marinara and pickled hot peppers
--You can never go wrong with fried calamari
For the Entrees we ordered:
**BLACK FETTUCINE
crab, jalapenos, and shallots
--I've never seen black fettucine and I tried a bit from my friend's plate. It was very flavorful. I definitely want to go back and try a full plate
**TORTELLONI
lobster and tarragon
--This was a delicious dish as well. This and the black fettucine itself would be a reason for me to come back
**DRY AGED BONE IN RIBEYE (Medium Rare)
--This thing is huge. They first show you as a whole, and then cut it table side. They put the bone on the side and explain that it's the meat is very sweet on the bone
**FILET MIGNON
--You're typical filet mignon
For our sides we ordered:
**ROASTED BEETS WITH PISTACHIOS AND GORGONZOLA
**SAUTEED BRUSSELS SPROUTS WITH PANCETTA
**ROASTED SHIITAKES WITH ACETO BALSAMICO
**ITALIAN BROCCOLI WITH HOUSE SMOKED PORK
All the sides were delicious and complimented what we ordered.
Dessert:
**SORBETTI: QUINCE, BLOOD ORANGE, PEAR
--I loved all 3 flavors. Quince tasted a little like apple sauce, blood orange and pear was just refreshing after a heavy meal
So overall the food was great, service.....well that could've used some improvement. We had to wave down the server a few times, which didn't make me happy. When he first approached our table to take our order, one of my friends asked him a question and he excused himself and didn't come back for a while. Later on, when we asked for our bill (after waving him down again) my friends brought it to his attention that they had made it clear it was my birthday when they made the reservations. We also noticed that one of my friends didn't get the 'VANILLA BEAN AFFOGATO' he ordered. Instead it appeared the waiter ordered an americano. The waiter tried to rectify the situation by bringing out a DARK CHOCOLATE CAKE w/ vanilla huckleberries + a candle. The dessert was delicious, but sort of ruined my refreshing dessert I had ordered previously.
As my friend Duke says, bad service I can tolerate, but I can't tolerate bad food. So Carnevino, you're lucky your food is oh so good lol. I will be returning to try the black fettucine + tortellini.
