An experience at Chicago's very own Carnivale is a taste of South American fusion cuisine. The eclectic menu, the brainchild of chef Mark Mendez, includes dishes from Brazil, Puerto Rico, Cuba, and Colombia. The pork shoulder with Puerto Rican rice and fried plantains is universally considered one of the menu's highlights. Not only does Carnivale have a full bar, but the awe-inspiring décor is sure to delight. The 35 foot high drapes and a second story wine wall backlit with vibrant colors help to create an unforgetta... read more

Carnivale is restaurant full of vibrant colors, lively music and delicious Latin cuisine. I absolutely loved their guacamole & raspberry mojitos!
I dont know wether to eat my food or hang it on a wall?!? – Sweet and simple. First time visitor to Carnivale and last. The restaurant looks great visually .. but thats it. This place is alll fluff, especially for the price. This is a so called Spanish and Central American type of orgy cuisines from many places around the world. Luckily I have had to visit a few of these countries. Example, Cuba, Nicaraua, Mexico, Salvador, Honduras and Costa Rica. I myself being from Nicaragua and a restaurant buff, I went to eat here with ... read more
Not for Family – Me, my wife and our 7-year old daughter had a terrible experience! The server was snotty. She gave my wife an attitude when she told her that my daughter has food allergies. She didn't even give suggestions on good alternatives. The food was okay, but the service is the worst I've experienced. I don't think we'll go back there again!
Citysearch Editorial Review – Full of color and flavor, this vibrant restaurant in West Fulton Market comes complete with a mixed crowd of families and see-and-be-seen types. Inside you'll find a huge main bar to belly up for cocktails, a lavishly decorated main dining room with vaulted ceilings and an upstairs space that can be rented out for parties. The menu doesn't disappoint either. Executive Chef David Dworshak is at the helm of this Latin-inspired menu which explores the savory dishes of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, Col... read more
GREAT PLACE FOR SKIRT STEAK – GREAT!!! FOOD Me and my Girlfriends loved it, LADIES NIGHT OUT
Reservations: Carnivale 's definition means 45minutes at least from your reserved time – I was very excited to go to Carnivale but turns out it was a huge dissapointment. My fiance and I had made a reservation for 10:00p.m. and didn't get seated until 10:45p.m. on Valentine's day. By the time we ordered, the specials were gone and the waitress was not very friendly..... she looked bothered that she had to wait on our table. The food was ok but for the price it is not worth it. I had the short rib which had alot of fat on it ... read more
Not so Great – I went in for Fathers day with my hubby and son! I wanted to show him a good time since we hardly ever go out. My friends had told me about this place and I thought "hey why not" Well the entire time I was there I was bothered. The music was much to loud to have conversation and I was bothered by my server during the entire meal. I understand you want to check on us but ever few seconds is just ridiculous. Also, there was this manager that kept yelling at the servers (or maybe she talks too loud) I dont know b... read more
Delicious and beautiful – I went to Carnivale for my birthday with 3 of my friends, and I am so happy we did! The space is gorgeous, with a lot of interesting photography all over, including in the bathroom. Service was great, from the moment we walked in, and our waiter was very helpful in explaining the menu. I especially liked that they buy from local farmers. Their signature raspberry mojito is worth the hype, and the caipairinhas and margaritas are very good as well. We had the guacamole to start, which was a very gener... read more
Great food and Atmosphere!!! – I have been to Carnivale several times and loved it each time!!! The food is great - it is a bit pricey - but they also only use produce from local farmers and fish in sustainable ways - The slightly higher prices are justified. I would highly suggest making reservations - I made the mistake of not making reservations and had to wait. I totally disagree with the other posters - i thought the service was great. My waiter was attentive and very nice
