| - Okay - I hate to do this - but I can only give Carnevino a three star rating. Now, maybe I just had an off day, since everyone and their mother loves this place, but I did not love my meal.
We first started off with fried calamari and potato gnocchi bolognese to share. The calamari was good (not out of this world) and the gnocchis were a bit on the hard side. Not what I expected. I am sure they were homemade, however they needed to be cooked just a tad bit more.
For my meal, I had the filet mignon and our table shared a number of different sides. As far as the filet is concerned, I asked for it to be medium rare and it was just plain old rare. So rare that I couldn't really eat it. I should have sent it back to be cooked a bit longer (my fault), however I didn't want to be "that" girl at the table.
As far as the sides are concerned, the butternut squash dish was delicious. The spinach was a bit on the salty side. The mushrooms were a bit overcooked, they were just a little bit too crispy.
The dessert however was very good. We had the lemon cheesecake, assorted cookies, butter cream crepes and something else that I can't remember. My favorite would have to be the assorted cookies.
As far as the staff is concerned, everyone was extremely friendly and attentive.
