"It's Acceptable To Go Mad Once A Year"
Fantasia...Cibo...Follia
(Fantasy...Food...Foolery)

Enter the over the top world of Carnevale, where the famous city on the sea becomes a haven of wonder and mystery.

Ahh la Bella Venezia! Weave your way through the feast of Carnevale where folklore and madness intertwine. Don a mask and indulge yourself in La Cucina's Festa di Carnevale; the next best thing to being in Venezia.

Carlo Goldoni, the great reformer of Italian comedy, was born the year of 1707 in Venice and this year we celebrate the tri-centennial anniversary of his birth. In his brilliance, Goldoni used the voice of theatre to project his unconventional comedies and played on what it was like to be Italian.

This year’s theme, in honor of Carlo Goldoni, will take us on a new adventure of taste and sound; where we will be joined by a trio of festive musicians. We look forward to sharing with you a magically melodious evening trumped only by the festive flavors of our cuisine.
