Came to Carnevino during a recent stay at the Palazzo for a guys trip. It was an early Friday evening for a "light" dinner before going out.
On the positive side, great service, quickly seated with reservation, attractive old school looking dining rooms, informative wait staff, extensive wine/cocktail menu. Generally the food was average to above average but nothing fantastic especially given the price. The steaks were obviously the highlight.
Apps: grilled octopus was the best (so tender and flavorful). The duck egg was completely overpriced and overrated. The gnocchi was good too but super small portion size
Steaks: we got the Porterhouse for 2 and Ribeye for 2. Medium Rare. We were told they were dry-aged for 90-120 days. We preferred the porterhouse over the ribeye. Good not great. Not to die for
Sides: mushrooms were awesome and the crowd favorite. The highly recommended mash with pouched egg and bacon looked better than it taste. The asparagus was meh at best.
Desserts: tiramisu was the best of the bunch
Cocktail: the negroni was bad ass. Circle ice added a sophisticated touch.
Highlights were the octopus, porterhouse, mushrooms and tiramisu .. and the negroni
