| - This place is not for everyone and that is OK.
I really enjoyed my 100 day dry aged ribeye, and the other items I ordered.
I think this place gets unfairly knocked for the following reasons:
It's an Italian Steakhouse. They don't do 14 sauces or Emeril Laggase style spice rubs. They take amazing beef, season it with some restraint and cook it beautifully. Some people will not like beef as the star, they like more going on with their steaks and that's fine but that's not what Carnevino does. I see Carnevino's steaks as the margherita pizza of steaks, simple, beautiful, and tasty.
Secondly It's pricey, so if anything is not to someones personal liking they are more upset due to the price.
The last reason I think people knock this and other good steakhouses is because they offer some boring vegetable side dishes. Some people like fresh, simple veg with their steak. If that's not you don't order the broccoli. Order some cheesy or creamy side if you want rich and savory on top of rich and savory.
Service was top notch, friendly, and informative, not stuffy or intimidating.
If you have some extra coin, give it a try. I had an amazing meal there.
I hope this review turns some people away from going to Carnevino because it's not good for people to spend their money on something they don't care for and it's not good for Carnevino to get bad reviews from people who come to eat there wanting something that they don't offer.
