Carnivale

"Latin-inspired cocktails and cuisine are the draws at this cavernous and colorful establishment that has a knack for entertaining large groups. Book a table for up to 10 through Tock or reserve one of the restaurant’s eight private event spaces. And then, of course, there are the shareable dishes — try the seafood paella or the Argentinian-style grilled meats platter filled with beef tenderloin, chicken, morcilla, short rib, chorizo, sirloin, and bone marrow." - Samantha Nelson, Eater Staff

"Come in costume to this West Loop restaurant’s Dia de los Muerto brunch from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, October 27 and receive a complimentary mimosa or cotton candy treat. Tickets are $50 and available on Tock. On Halloween, Thursday, October 31 dinner guests will be treated to complimentary pop-up entertainment throughout their meal from surprise performers that range from acrobatic aerialists to fire breathers and other world-class acts, with a special Halloween twist for the holiday." - Lisa Shames, Eater Staff

"Capacity: Varies depending on room Carnivale is a Latin restaurant in Fulton Market with a wide range of influences. You’ll find dishes like ropa vieja, empanadas, and paella—plus lots of people celebrating birthdays, retirements, and eighth-grade graduations (though probably not at the same table). While the colorful space is huge and ideal for groups in general, there are a variety of spaces available for events of all sizes." - veda kilaru

"Whether the tango, samba, catwalk, flamenco or lambada is the dance for you, Carnivale’s selection of seven colorful Latin American dance themed private rooms cater to dinner parties for 40 or cocktail parties as large as 300 — or rent the entire venue for a sit-down dinner for 500. The menu features South American cuisine, with an emphasis on Argentina and Brazil." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff

"This Latin American restaurant is now open for carryout and delivery. They have family meals and cocktail kits." - adrian kane
