text: I recently had dinner at Carnevino with friends While I have eaten in Batali places before this one really takes the torta on overpriced food and fussycondescending waiters and service Being from NY I do not take kindly to snowjobs and this place was all about that nnOur server a dweeb from LI to boot who made lots of chit chat with us at first was all about getting us to spend as much as possible He was good with the stories aged beef so carefully preparedbe sure to pick up the bone and gnaw on it like Mario would do if he was here Oh pleeze So pretentious The tale of the cannoli prep was the best as another server made up seemingly compelling stuff as he went along I was anticipating and fully ready to vomit up my overpriced meat in response to the line each cannoli she will is carefully rolled between the nubile thighs of yearold virgins if it came to that And in Vegas that would truly be a rare thingnnnAfter having small pasta plates to share we went on to the mains And by the way one of those pastas the penne with anchovies was about the worst thing I have ever tasted and should be fully avoided They push the steaks but as we were two couples we could have saved some money with ordering one steak to feed of us Mr Server Douche never bothered to mention that the Florentine Porterhouse steaks are big enough for people Nope He just had us purchase steaks at the cost of PER PERSON The menu is misleading as we thought it was for not EACHnnBasically for me this restaurant jumped the shark in every way and it will be a long time until I eat in one of Batalis joints anywhere Figures he is friends with Goopy by the way Ugh
