This Halloween, Bacaro, a restaurant usually specializing in local food in downtown Champaign, will be serving all Italian food, for one night only. Dinner will be served from 5-11 p.m. (or until they run out!) and karaoke with Paul Faber will start at 9 p.m. and go until midnight.
Make sure to check it out, as this is Bacaro’s one time a year where they transform into a completely different restaurant.
The Italian-diner-inspired menu for the evening is as follows:
————
Chopped Salad (prosciutto, pickled cherry tomatoes, red onion, pecorino, red wine vinaigrette)
Crispy Calamari (herbed lemon aioli)
Fried Ravioli (harissa marinara, mozzarella)
Zuppa Toscana
————
Spaghetti (wagyu meatballs, tomato sauce, parmigiano reggiano)
Risotto Bianco (parmigiano reggiano, veal stock)
———
Chicken Parmesan
Lasagna (pork ragu, ricotta)
Steak Florentine (dry aged porterhouse, arugula, roasted potatoes)
——
Tiramisu
Rum Cream Puffs
