" The atmosphere at El Carnaval is what I loved the most. It truly encapsulates a little piece of Italy. I visited for dinner and ordered several dishes to share with my friends. The pizza cone lived up to the hype! I only wish they had more vegetarian options since I felt a bit limited there. Overall, the experience was lovely, with friendly staff and delicious food, but I wouldn't mind seeing a few more choices on the menu. " (*Curated Review*)

" El Carnaval has quickly become my go-to spot for Italian food. The atmosphere is warm and the decor, though a bit retro, adds to the charm. I absolutely loved their tiramisu; it was soft and delicately flavored. That being said, while the food is fantastic, I felt the prices were slightly on the higher side for certain dishes. Nonetheless, the unique pizza cones are definitely worth trying! I'll be back for sure. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my friends to El Carnaval last weekend, and we were all thoroughly impressed! The food was outstanding – each dish bursting with flavor. Their unique pizza cones stole the show! The atmosphere had a cozy vibe, making it perfect for a laid-back evening. While the service was generally good, we did experience a slight wait, but it was worth it. I highly recommend this gem in the city. " (*Curated Review*)

" Decided to try El Carnaval after all the recent buzz, and it lived up to my expectations! The pizza cone was phenomenal, and it came with a variety of options for toppings. The atmosphere was cozy but a bit cramped, especially when it filled up later in the evening. Although I found the prices to be on the higher side for some dishes, the overall experience made it worth it. I'll surely keep coming back for my Italian cravings! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having traveled to Italy, I can vouch for the authenticity of the food! The flavors at El Carnaval are reminiscent of my travels, especially with their handmade pasta and fresh ingredients. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. The only downside was the waiting time during peak hours. But honestly, the food is more than worth the wait. Highly recommend trying their wines too! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem! If you're looking for that authentic Italian feel without leaving Mexico City, El Carnaval is the place to go. The service was excellent, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I ordered the spaghetti bolognese, and it was among the best I've had. The flavors transported me straight to Italy. The only downside I noticed was the limited seating, which can get crowded during peak hours. Overall, I truly enjoyed my experience, and I can't wait to go back. " (*Curated Review*)

" I went to El Carnaval with high expectations based on the many reviews I've read. While the atmosphere was pleasant and the food was indeed good, I felt a little underwhelmed. Perhaps it was the hype, but my pizza was slightly less flavorful than expected. Service was good, but I did think it could have been quicker. Still, I would give it another shot for their renowned tiramisu which I’ve heard is amazing! " (*Curated Review*)
