CARNEVINO: DISAPPOINTED! I ordered filet mingnon. They brought out a thin piece of meat which was overcooked and dry. I try to cut through but it was tough. They they took it back and offer me another piece. it came out cooked better however both times the filet was not the quality that I expected and paid for.
I've been eating in many fine steak houses in NYC and places I traveled to, I did not mind to pay more money for a great meal but this time was a big disapointment!!!

There were four of us. my friend piece of filet mignon was better but under cook. My boy friend piece was chewy and also under cook. In our table only one person get a good cut. They might ran out of meat and got supply from a supermarket?

The service was fine but I went there to expect both FOOD & SERVICE. I will never go back again and will not recomend to other poeple.

First let me say that I am a big fan of Mario Batali having watched him on the Food Network for years and that is why I went to Carnevino with great expectations. I have eaten in several great steak houses and fine restaurants throughout the West Coast, including many in Las Vegas. I found the atmosphere to be excellent, the service to be adequate and the food greatly disappointing. The steak I ordered was the bone-in New York Strip with two sides, Italian Broccoli and Mixed Mushrooms. The broccoli was way overcooked - steamed or boiled until it was unseasoned, limp and tasteless. The mixed mushrooms while seasoned properly were served cold. The biggest disappointment was the steak. It was an unremarkable piece of meat which was neither seasoned nor prepared with any distinction. The quality of the meat itself while supposedly aged for 65 days had no better flavor than that served at a local Denny's. Needless to say, after spending over $100 on my meal I felt I could have done better at a neighborhood Applebee's. I find it difficult to believe that Mario Batali, while lending his name to this restaurant, has actually ever had the opportunity to have eaten there. I left my name and number on the comment card with the manager of the restaurant, who apologized but took no responsibility. With all the choices one has for restaurants in Las Vegas, it will be a long time before I revisit Carnevino.
