LOOKING FOR SOME AMAZING LATIN-AMERICAN CUISINE? CARNIVALE IN CHICAGO, IL IS MELT IN YOUR MOUTH YOUR GOODNESS!

Be Prepared to be WOWED at Carnivale! We have been patrons of this eclectic fusion of Spanish cuisine for several years and have never been disappointed. Upon entering the restaurant it transports one to a Caribbean Alice in Wonder Land feel. We have dined in several of their dining rooms and this last time we ended up on the 2nd floor (great for taking pics). Our waiter Freddy was spot on the entire evening and treated us like royalty. When you're paying $$$, it's refreshing to have outstanding service. We ordered the Cotton Candy Martini which came with a big dollop of Pink Cotton Candy (homemade right in the restaurant). Everyone in our group our table took a pinch before Freddy poured the martini into the glass and the cotton candy slowly melted into a sweet dream! One of our favorites is the ROPA. Melt in your mouth meat tacos. We all enjoyed our entrees which were generous in portions, 3 of us had to get to go containers. We were celebrating my son's 25th Birthday and as a special treat, Carnivale gave him the Cotton Candy & Caramel Corn dessert. Again, we could not resist and we all had to try delicious bites of sweetness. Highly recommend Carnivale for a special occasion or just because.
