Chicago’s Carnivale provides a colorful scene and amusing cuisine

Upon entering Carnivale, guests are treated to a sensory and scenic smorgasbord. The vibrant colors, Latin flavor and candy cocktails leave diners hungering for the main course.

For a spicy start to the night, Chef Rodolfo’s Ropa Vieja deliver the crunch and punch of a sweet and savory appetizer. The braised veal cheek, sweet plantains, malanga, aioli and queso freso are cooked to perfection and provide the perfect accompaniment to complement the mixologist’ Pisco Passion.

Moving your way through the entrees, the scallops with corn cachaca, confit bacon and charred tomato vinaigrette or Arroz con Mariscos served with saffron bomba rice, shimp, mussels, clams and tomato are satisfying selections.

For an entertaining night, reserve your spot at Carnivale and get swept away by the Latin fever.
