| - Crap. Indeed such crap it single handedly put me on a "Famous Chef" hiatus. My wife and I went to Carnevino just for a quick bite. We ordered of the Taverna menu as we didn't want the full "experience."
The menu came, dirty, stained, and torn; nasty. The server brought out "a complement from the chef" some cold, greasy, hush-puppy like dough ball. I asked if it were supposed to be warm and the server said "yes." Well, sorry to surprise you, it wasn't.
We ordered the arugula salad, tagliatelle with porcini, and the house made pastrami sandwich. The arugula salad was in a bath of white vinegar and nearly inedible. The tagliatelle was salty enough to choke a cow and cows lick pure salt! But worse, far worse, worst of all, was the pastrami sandwich; two massive slabs of dry, crumbly bread, more arugula, and the thinnest of thin slices of pastrami. I didn't see any pastrami so I opened the sandwich removed a slice to taste the pastrami. I still don't know what it tastes like! The horseradish mustard overpowered everything. I combined the two halves of the sandwich into one and it STILL had less pastrami than a sandwich you'd find in a vending machine at a train station yet just as appetizing!
From now on, If I don't SEE that damn famous chef in his/her restaurant, I'm not eating there. Never, ever again.
