Melissa Au: Carnivale has delicious food and a great ambiance. I recommend the ropa vieja or empanadas for apps, New York strip steak for the entrée, and banana cream pie for dessert.
C Rey: Probably the best all around Latin dining experience you can find in the city. Everything on the menu is delicious and the ambiance is first class.
Serious Eats: Carnivale’s loud, colorful lounge vibe plays off of its busy location perched above the Kennedy Expressway, and the ceviche mixto has bombastic, bright flavors to match.
Amanda Cooper: Get the bacon, you'll thank me later! The shrimp are impressively large and my petite filet was perfectly cooked! Power lunch and date night dining!
Diego Reynoso: Great food everything from the steaks to the incredible smores desert (a must do)
Redeye Chicago: A steakhouse’s reason for being is typically the beef. But what you really want is the fried chicken. The crust glinted with salt and was adorned with candied orange zest and flecks of rosemary. Read more.
