Carnevale

Another wonderful experience at Carnevale. The staff were friendly, humorous and charming. The food, as ever, was absolutely delicious - this time it was a Valentine's menu that was both affordable and varied. I can't recommend this place highly enough, and we make a point of visiting regularly!

Lovely food and service. I will come back again. It was fairly quiet for a Friday night which we enjoyed but I can see there was little atmosphere

Lovely little restaurant, with a limited menu (which I liked!) and everything tasted great. Friendly staff, attentive service, good menu selection. It's a vegetarian place with gf and organic options. Would definitely go there again!

The dishes served at this understated little restaurant are excellent. If you haven't experienced really good vegetarian restaurant food, try this place. It was my first visit but my partner and I are keen to make a return visit pretty soon - I am longing to try the homemade sausages.... Terry

Friendly service, freshly cooked food that was imaginative and delicious. And a super clever name (veggie restaurant whose Italian moniker translates as "farewell, meat"). Simple but very appealing décor. Reasonable prices.

Great menu. Multiple vegan options. Attentive service. My only complaint is that the dessert was a little on the small side for the price. Other than that, we had a lovely meal here and wouldn't hesitate to come back next time we are in the area.

The food was amazing as well as the service. We had a little confusion paying and the staff were very understanding. I am recommending it to lots of people now! Thank you!

Food was great... shame about the service. They should lose at least 2 tables (the table of 2 and table of 4.) It is uncomfortable cramped. Especially if you are going to overcrowd diners at least do it with a smile. Otherwise your creating the wrong type of atmosphere. I preferred the first time I came with a friend. I enjoyed the menu so much I brought a table of 4 this time. Though this one time will be last time though.

Absolutely delicious homemade food! I had the vegan sausages and they were the best I've ever had. The waitress was so friendly as well and the restaurant itself was very peaceful. Definitely a hidden gem!

The food was great and the service lovely. It makes you realise just how much variety you can eat without meat. It was very quiet on a Friday night but they made us feel at home.

Very nice food, decent prizes. Ligthing and atmosphere not as cosy as could be. Staff was sweet. Overall good experience, would go again but maybe for more casual lunch as opose to dinner

I haven't been to this place for a couple of years and now I'm wondering why that is. Excellent food and really great ambience. I won' leave it so long next time.

Although quite hard to find due to weird numbering on the streets the food was really good. The chick pea curry was spot on and the Elderflower custard on the crumble was absolutely fantastic.

First rate food, wine and service. I had quite forgotten how good Carnivale is and any number of other tables clearly thought the same. I will be back.

Unfortunately we did not end up eating here. My wife does not eat mash potato and asked for her meal with roast potato instead (which was also on the menu). The chef/manager flat out refused this simple request! They have lost our business...

Wonderful food and a good selection of drinks. I recommend the sausages and mash. The toilet is a bit lacking as didn't have much space for someone at 6' 4".

Excellent, welcoming service. The food and wine were well presented and delicious - great choice. We will definitely be visiting again. Our vegetarian friend was impressed too!

Really good food. Great that it had vegan options - artichokes to start and falafel for main were both delicious. Waitress was very friendly and on the ball.

Good food and service. Had a selection of starters rather than a main course and they were all good. The wine was ok but overall not cheap.

The experience was poor. First off who doesn't serve pita bread with their greek sides (hummus), and the curry was very watery. I understand it's vegetarian, but it should be more flavorful.

This is a really lovely little veggie restaurant, great food, friendly and attentive service, with several GF options which really suited my friend who is both veggie and needs GF. Only disappointment was that there was no separate GF bread, ie needed to be separate from the other bread as if it touches ordinary bread it is no good for my friend. A small point but only thing to be improved.

This is a nice restaurant, good service, lovely wine and reasonable food. For the price, I think the food is a little unexciting. I had the sausage and mash which was ok but a little bland.m

Great tasting, good quality food. The menu was full of interesting dishes and combinations. The service was attentive, friendly and welcoming. I would certainly recommend Carnevale.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Was an interesting array of options compared to a lot of other vegetarian options. Would sure go back here again.

The food, as usual, was excellent, well chosen ingredients, cooked with a light touch, leaving intact the natural flavours, and served by friendly staff, it could not have been better. We will surely come again.

Great atmosphere, lovely staff and great service. The food was very enjoyable and came very quickly. The outdoor area was a nice quieter location to the main area in case you wanted more discreet location.

Charming, friendly and very helpful service for our first visit here. The food was delicious; we had 2 starters each and a couple of sides as these looked lighter than the mains. We felt that the portions were slightly too large but we enjoyed everything. The wine was good but needed to be slightly colder. We will return!

Quiet vegetarian bistro off Whitecross street. Great value for the location and quality of the food. If it is sunny try and get a table in the courtyard.

Great little restaurant with a good variety of vegetarian and vegan dishes. If you find yourself in the Barbican area, do visit this hidden gem.

Great little place. Friendly service and generous portions of vegetarian comfort food. Atmosphere fees more like a neighbourhood restaurant than a restaurant in the heart of the city. Perfect after an exhibition at the nearby Barbican Centre. Will definitely be back.

Great food, no music was great as you could enjoy the buzz of people. A little on the pricey side but worth it. Chocolate Roulade was to die for, no chocolate for a week or so after that hit!

Lovely food and a good range of options. Only problem was that a key ingredient was left out of my dish which was rather disappointing!

Nice cosy little restaurant feels like a little hide away which is a nice break from the city, great menu, friendly service and good price

Food and service excellent as ever. Our mains were delicious, and the bread and butter pudding with apricots and white chocolate went down a storm.

Slightly over priced for what it was, but very nice thought out veggie food, service was welcoming, place was a little shabby but overall pleasant. As its no longer on tastecard probably would not go back again.

Cosy little restaurant with a great selection of meals. The food reminded me of almost a home cooked style. Plenty of vegan options as well as gluten free. The meals were good sizes and served quite quickly. The desserts were the highlight of the evening. The staff were friendly and free bread is offered with olive oil and balsamic. The meals are reasonably priced.

After seeing some positive reviews I have to say this was a real let down - and an expensive one at that.

Food delicious and beautifully presented, house wine very good and service excellent - very attentive, without being rushed. If I was being picky, it could be a bit warmer!

Lovely main course, disappointing starter. Friendly service but the decor is all looking a bit tired. Am not sure I would go again based on this visit.

Really delicious food and excellent service! We had a wonderful evening, and even the non- vegetarians in our party loved the food!
