Q: I got a massage here about a year ago and the massage therapist was horrible. He rubbed my skin raw and for days it felt like I had a 3rd degree sunburn. However, I get stressed easily and that causes knots in my shoulders and since Massage Envy is a well-known chain around Phoenix, I figured I'd give them another try. This time, I had a female named Vanessa. She was really good and listened to me. They always customize your massage for you. Just make sure you communicate with your massage therapist and don't be afraid to say something if the massage doesn't feel right.

Q: We definitely beat the rush!! Very satisfied with our service! Magaly was the one taking our order and she was such a sweetie!! We didn't see chocolate covered strawberries (we wanted some to drink with our champagne for our anniversary) and I asked Magaly about it. She said they don't have any to sell separately, but she would check with the baker. She comes back so happy and smiling and told me her baker would make them for us! It's people like her that do their best to satisfy customers that make me wanna come back! Thanks so much!! We haven't even paid yet or tried anything! I was just too excited to brag about Magaly! Keep up the good work, girl!! Thanks so much!! :) :)

Q: Mick Jagger once said "anything worth doing is worth overdoing". So while in Vegas, I decided to send my taste buds on a ride and Carnevino was the vessel by which to do that with. We were seated in a back area surrounded by walls filled with numerous wine bottles. The waiter went over their specials and suggested some good wine to start us off with. With our wine, he brings us these amazing cheese zeppole's to start our dining adventure. For the antipasti, we went with the Arugula salad. The arugula was peppery and contained Coach Farm triple cream, trumpet royale mushrooms, and pickled onions. The dressing was just tart enough to awaken the taste buds and I knew the rest of the meal was going to be fantastic after how this tasted. For my main course, I opted for the 16oz. bone-in NY Strip. Cooked medium rare, this chunk of heavenly delight was dry-aged to perfection and had a nice rub consisting of sea salt, black pepper and fresh rosemary. The slightly charred crust of the steak and the juiciness of the steak gives Carnevino a place in my all-time favorite restaurants. I added a gorgonzola marscapone sauce to accompany the meat but I did not think the meat needed it. I had maybe a couple of bites with it but the meat was so delicious I felt I was doing it a disservice. While the steak was an experience in and of itself, Carnevino's sides were also delicious. We had the Italian broccoli with house smoked pork. The broccoli was a little more tart than regular broccoli but the waiter warned us about that. We added the marscapone & guanciale mashed potatoes and also indulged in a side of fregula, pecorino romano & corn. Taste bud overload was not done because a side of fried eggplant with tomato & ricotta finished things off. All were delicious, but the fregula and eggplant stood out from the crowd. For dessert, we had the Tiramisu. Containing cocoa nibs and homemade marscapone, it was the perfect finale to an amazing meal. I am not naive enough to say Carnevino is the best in town. No. Instead, I will say that if you are looking for an amazing steak, great ambience, friendly service and an experience one can only get in Vegas, then this is one of the better places.

Q: Very good burger, very good fries. Fun atmosphere. Tables are way too close together, but otherwise we enjoyed it.
