It's Vegas. I go there with good company, for cool conversation, great memories, and lastly - for excellent food. Carnevino was just that. \n\nKnowing that the three of us would be heading over to a club for some drunk-man's hokey-pokey within a few hours, we took the server's advice and split the two-person bone-in rib-eye, three ways. Of course you can't have dinner without an appetizer. \n\nOur taste-buds tingled at the sound of the featured bruschetta: soft and creamy mozarella nestled on a bed of kale, with some playful specs of pancetta hiding in between the wrinkly leaves. The plate was gorgeous. The mozzarella was so creamy - tangled between the grooves of our forks, then twirled with a little piece of kale, picking up some pancetta bits, eventually finding its way onto a rough patch of bruschetta. LOVELY. \n\nMid conversation, our server appeared table-side with a wooden chopping block on wheels! He prepared us - \"Excuse me,\" he says kindly. \"If I may shuffle some things around here...\" THEN the monstrosity of a rib-eye appeared from underneath the little table! For that type of entrance, they should have blared the trumpets and sounded the cymbals. The server gently carved the steak, artfully plated it, and so delicately sprinkled some salt and drizzled some olive oil over the medium-rare slices of meat. MAGICAL. At some point, we found ourselves slightly confused by the humongous rib that lay so peacefully across a little plate - what to do? Nothing else to do but to pick it up and savor the flavors of the bone that oozed into the meat. Don't question it. DO IT. \n\nGreen beans came in a little cast-iron tray - they too were delightful. Golden raisins and lemon zest all joined the party. Such a subtle, yet fun combination of flavors bouncing around in the mouth. \n\nService: 5-stars (or smiley faces)\nFlavors: 5-stars. \nAtmosphere: 5-stars.\n\nPricey. But really - can you put a price on excellent food and unforgettable memories?
