Tacoma came out in strong numbers to the Broadway Center's Carnevale a Venezia gala Sunday, May 23 inside the Pantages Theater. The evening began with shopping, noshing and sipping in a vibrant Italian market (Pantages lobby) followed by a live auction, El Gaucho dinner, opera singers, and trapeze artists in a Venetian Opera House (Pantages main stage). The event benefits Broadway Center's vital arts education programs that touch the lives of 35,000 students and teachers annually.
Pacific Grill Chef Gordon Naccarato and Chef Ian Thompson prepared meat candy (roasted dates, apple-smoked bacon and reggiano) and albacore tuna tartare on crostini with sweet onion, crushed avocado and green peppercorn vinaigrette.
