Normally I would go to Jean-Georges Prime Steakhouse at the Bellagio, Jean Georges at the Aria or Bazaar Meats by Jose Andres, but I stayed at the Palazzo this first half of this CES trip. It's impossible to go across the strip during CES, almost 180,000 attendees all try to get to restaurants and parties. Complete madness here, so I have my team stayed in the same resort for dinner.
Booked a large group here for my CES event, 18 of us, so I got to order just about everything on the menu.
Chef Mario Batali & Joe Bastianich's swanky Palazzo Hotel kitchen known for dry-aged steaks & fine wines. They are 1 of the best Italian steakhouses in Las Vegas, if not the country.
Besides flavorful cuts of steak, modern Italian dishes, Carnevino offers great cocktails, impressive wine list, and also delicious dessert.
Appetizers:
- Grilled Octopus - pickled vegetables and limoncello
- Carne Cruda Alla Piemontese - chopped to order steak tartare with raw mushrooms
- Fried Calamari - marinara and cherry peppers
Pasta:
- Tagliatelle Bolognese
- Pappardelle beef short rib ragu
- Spaghetti ai Frutti di Mare - slightly spicy with clams, shrimp, lobster and calamari.
Entrée: they source natural and antibiotic free meats. They rub all of their beef with sea salt, black pepper and fresh rosemary to get a delicious and slightly charred crust.
- Scaloppine caper berries and preserved lemon, this veal was so good.
- La Fiorentina - classic Florentine porterhouse, perception.
- Rib Eye is always a perfect cut here.
- Lamb Chops 'Scottadita' 3 Double Chops - perfectly cooked.
- Pork "Osso Buco' - saffron orzo and gremolata
- Tuscan Seafood Stew herbs, tomato and shellfish brodo was quite good.
They also offer a Theater Dinner: $65 ($57 with show tickets) Available before 6:30PM and after 9:30PM.
They have the Beef Tasting of $150, but you have to order for the entire table.
Dessert: Sweet tooth friends, save room for Gelati too ok.
- Pear Budino - whiskey butterscotch & poached pears
- Bomboloni - fresh bananas & huckleberry reduction
- Chocolate Bacon Cake - caramel buttercream & candied bacon
And don't forget to take the picture with that bodacious bull too! 1 of my new favorite steakhouses on Vegas strip!
