Celebrating Valentine’s Day would be simple if the Beatle’s lyric “all you need is love” was true. But the reality is that Americans will spend about $1.7 billion on 58 million pounds of candy this Valentine’s Day, according to the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association. They will also exchange 180 million Valentine’s Day cards and 196 millions roses.
Instead of getting caught up in the whirlwind of jewelry and poetic greeting cards, keep Valentine’s Day simple and sincere by planning a romantic, carefree evening for two at Carlucci Rosemont on Friday, Saturday or Sunday of Valentine’s weekend. Carlucci Rosemont has been a Silver Plate Award winner since 1992 and has earned a reputation for being one of the top 50 restaurants in Chicago, making it the perfect place for celebrating the joy of being in love. Your Valentine will feel special when stepping into this luxurious restaurant resplendent with rich wood trim, antique brass chandeliers and vibrant ceiling murals.
Begin the evening of romance with a toast to your true love in Carlucci’s cozy bar where talented bartenders stand ready to create one of their signature cocktails or uncork a bottle of wine from their award winning collection. Snuggle up close to each other and enjoy live music that will bring back memories of past days together and create new memories for years to come. Spectacular vocalist Beth Haines will be serenading guests on Friday evening and the 290 East Band will be rocking romance for guests on Saturday and Sunday.
When it’s time for dinner, sit down at a quiet table for two adorned with crisp white linens. Your true love will be presented with a complimentary red rose that will quicken the beats of both your hearts. Attentive wait staff will work together to fill your every desire during the meal. Carlucci’s talented chefs have created a memorable Tuscan Italian four-course meal that is sure to please every palate for a very attractive price of $109 per couple.
