    We had the price-fix menu and all appetizers and dinners were fantastic. The sautéed baby eggplant was outstanding! Service by Sue was welcoming and spot on! Tom

    Carnival never disappoints...even when the power goes out. We arrived to the news the area was in blackout, but the restaurant turned the mishap into romance by creating lovely ambiance with more candles and not missing a beat with its service. Our party of four enjoyed glasses of Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc, the complimentary assorted breads with flavored olive oil, House and Gorgonzola salads, Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Marsala, and Chicken Francaise with accompanying pastas, and finished with NY Cheesecake, Cannolis, and Hot Tea. The food was delicious, perfectly prepared, and served professionally with a smile. The place is clean and well-maintained, including the bathrooms. The atmosphere was pleasant, warm and inviting, with a convivial crowd, so a good time was had by all! Carnival's shopping center location is deceiving because inside it feels like you're in Manhattan. Thank you to management and staff--you made our night out a real treat!

    We are a long time customer and love the staff and the food, Usually, a great meal is had by all, But tonight that was not the case as always the staff was great our waitress could not have been more attentive or more on top of everything. The only issue with dinner was that the Veal was over cooked and hard to chew. Another thing that came up was the Bread has been changed, they used to serve real Italian bread , now it seems to be rolls that are under cooked and doughy or you get a hero roll. That was not always the case you would get Brucheta bread, Garlic bread and then the hard italian bread. I understand cutting back but lets be serious the prices went up and there should not be cutbacks when it comes to the quality of food. Disaspointed on this trip to dinner
