Fat Tuesday is right around the corner, and Pasta Amore and the Italian American Heritage Society are celebrating with their annual Carnevale event. Costumes are encouraged, but not required, for the festive dinner, which takes place Tuesday at 5:30 p.m. The event is $39 per diner for the public and $35 for society members — before tax and tip. A coursed menu will include pumpkin lasagna, herb-crusted tenderloin, bruschetta and raspberry chocolate mousse.

The evening will include Mardi Gras decorations and live music. Reservations must be made by today; call 402-391-2585. Pasta Amore is at 11027 Prairie Brook Road in Rockbrook Village.
