It's hard to judge a restaurant based on one meal. My experience was that Carnevale offered well-prepared (but uninspired) Italian cuisine, but it was overpriced.

Portions were small, too - which is good for my waistline, but again overpriced.

Service was a little lacking, it took forever to get my water refilled.

Location on Lincoln Road pedestrian mall is a plus, with outdoor seating, but there are many other choices.
