Italian for “meat wine,” Carnevino is named after the loves of its two owners, Chef Mario Batali and winemaker Joe Bastianich. Located at the Palazzo, the restaurant is a dramatic, elegant steakhouse with grand, 16-foot ceilings, Italian marble and wood accents, and spacious dining rooms that evoke the feeling and charm of an Italian villa. Classic steakhouse dishes and modern Italian specialties are expertly crafted and served at Carnevino, which specializes in hormone-free, house-aged cuts of meat, fresh pasta, and other artisanal ingredients.

At Carnevino, delicious antipasti, pasta, and various meat entrees comprise a memorable meal, along with a savory selection of sauces and sides. Start your meal with one of the sumptuous appetizers, such as Beef Carpaccio with a warm lardo crostini or Bigeye Tuna “Crudo,” a raw tuna sashimi with parsley-hazelnut pesto and pomegranate “agro-dolce.”

For entrees, Carnevino offers a selection of all-natural BBL beef cuts, in addition to pork, lamb, and veal dishes. Highlights include “La Florentina,” a classic Florentine steak for two, and the Pappardelle pasta with “porcini trifolati.” All of the steakhouse’s juicy, mouth-watering steaks are hand selected and aged in the restaurant’s meat chamber and rubbed with sea salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary to create a delightful flavor and crust. Unique seafood and poultry specials are also available daily, along with twelve incredible vegetable side dishes designed to perfectly accompany your meal.

Carnevino desserts also aren’t to be missed. With a selection of sweet Italian treats such as Orange Panna Cotta with orange segments and Pear Huckleberry Tartaletta with moscato zabaglione gelato, you’ll definitely want to make room for more. Gelati and sorbetti are also available in a variety of flavors for a lighter, refreshing end to the meal.

Like their other Vegas restaurants, Carnevino carries Batali and Bastianich’s hallmark, which are fresh, seasonal produce, fine cheeses, and Balsamic vinegar. And you’ll taste the difference at this modern but authentic Italian restaurant. Perfect for a special occasion or a really standout meal, Carnevino is the upscale steakhouse at its best.
