Provaré Chicago Menu With Prices & Dining Details
Provaré is an Italian and Creole restaurant at 1523 W Chicago Ave in Chicago's West Town, run by chef and co-owner Jourdan Higgs. The Provaré Chicago menu (often searched as “provare chicago menu”) is short: eight starters, ten main courses, protein add-ons, four sides, one dessert, and a cocktail list named after Chicago streets. The restaurant's own menu doesn't list prices, so the prices below come from Provaré's official Uber Eats storefront, checked October 2, 2026.
Researched & reviewed by USA Menu Finder Editorial Team. Menu details from Provaré Chicago's own sources where available, with prices from the specific restaurant location named in our sources; prices vary by location.

About these prices
Provaré does not publish prices on its website. Every price in this guide comes from one source: the Uber Eats store at 1523 West Chicago Avenue that the restaurant links to as its Chicago online ordering. Pickup and delivery showed the same item prices on our check. Dining-room prices may differ, and app prices don't include Uber fees, tax, or the restaurant's service charge. Here's how we verify menu prices.
| Dish | What it is | Uber Eats price |
|---|---|---|
| Seafood Trio (Pasta Trio) | Cajun “trio spice” Alfredo, shrimp, lobster, crab, rotini | $42 |
| Shrimp Cognac Scampi | Cognac cream sauce, Fresno chiles, shrimp, mafaldine | $34 |
| Lemon Pepper Chicken Alfredo | Grilled chicken, bell peppers, lemon zest, fettuccine | $34 |
| Lamb Chops | Four large chops with spicy house corn | $55 |
| Butter Cake (app version) | Listed on Uber Eats as “no ice cream” | $14 |
Starters: Two Things to Know
The spinach and artichoke dip is a seafood dish here, topped with shrimp and crawfish. Uber Eats also sells a No Seafood Spinach and Artichoke Dip for $14, but that version doesn't appear on the official dinner menu.
Crab Cakes and Crab Cake Egg Rolls are different listings. The official menu's Crab Cakes are fried mini crab cakes with pico de gallo. Uber Eats doesn't sell those. It sells Crab Cake Egg Rolls ($25) instead, described as crab meat, Monterey Jack, seafood cream sauce, and crawfish. Don't assume one is the other.
Pasta and Main Courses
Seafood Trio vs. Pasta Trio. The official menu calls this dish Seafood Trio. Uber Eats and DoorDash call it Pasta Trio (“fresh pasta, cream sauce, lobster, shrimp and crab”). Each channel lists only one of the two names, and both pair the same three shellfish with a cream sauce, so they appear to be the same plate. Provaré hasn't said so directly, though, and the app description doesn't mention rotini or the trio spice.
Vegan Bolognese protein. The official menu says Beyond Meat. The Uber Eats listing says Impossible Meat and adds bell peppers, red onion, and oregano. If the brand matters to you, ask when ordering.
The Uber Eats store also sells three entrées that aren't on the official dinner menu: Fettuccine Alfredo ($22), Pasta Mardi Gras ($36), and Pan Seared Branzino ($40). The last two have no description on the app.
Included sides: fries come with Steak Frites, the Smash Burger and the Royale Tower; spicy house corn with the Lamb Chops; garlic bread with the spinach and artichoke dip. The Privé menu says the Smash Burger uses two 4 oz patties, and on Uber Eats lobster on the burger is an option you add. The Royale Tower isn't sold on Uber Eats, and Provaré doesn't publish its price or say how many people it feeds.
Butter Cake. In the dining room it's served warm with vanilla ice cream, caramel drizzle, and strawberry. The Uber Eats version is listed as “Butter Cake (no ice cream)” for $14, so expect the cake without ice cream if you order through the app.
Cocktails and Nonalcoholic Drinks
The Provaré Chicago drinks menu names its cocktails after Chicago streets and neighborhoods. No drink prices are published on the official site, and drinks aren't sold on Uber Eats, so prices are left out.
| Cocktail | Ingredients (official menu) |
|---|---|
| Chicago Ave | Malibu, Myers's, Captain Morgan, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine |
| Randolph | Tito's, amaretto, passion fruit, lemon juice, orange bitters, red wine float |
| LSD | Teremana Reposado, pomegranate, lime juice, simple syrup, triple sec, blue curaçao |
| Cottage Grove | Teremana Blanco, ginger, lemon juice, simple syrup, triple sec |
| Madison & Pulaski | Don Julio Reposado, Amaro Nonino, lemon juice, Aperol |
| MLK | Hennessy VS, lemon juice, peach schnapps, simple syrup |
| Mag Mile | Hennessy VSOP, Grand Marnier, lemon juice, simple syrup, triple sec |
| The Loop | Smoked Sir Davis whisky, orange and Angostura bitters, Luxardo syrup |
| Windy City | Hennessy VSOP, espresso, Mr. Black coffee liqueur, caramel |
Nonalcoholic: a Berry Spritz (strawberry purée, lime juice, simple syrup, nonalcoholic sparkling wine) and lemonades in strawberry, mango, blackberry, and passion fruit.
Wine and beer are listed by name only: Chardonnay (Toad Hollow Unoaked), Moscato, sparkling rosé, Prosecco (Chloe), Pinot Noir (Sea Glass) and Cabernet Sauvignon, plus beers including Hip Hop & Brew, Cuffin Season, Homecoming, and Wood Wap Bam. Privé, the speakeasy downstairs, has its own cocktail list with different drinks.
What to Order Based on Your Preferences
Based on ingredients and how the menu is built, not taste tests or sales rankings.
- • Seafood pasta: Seafood Trio puts shrimp, lobster and crab in one cream sauce. Shrimp Cognac Scampi is shrimp-only with Fresno chile heat. Lobster Bisque Pasta has the most lobster and is the priciest pasta at $66.
- • Chicken pasta: Lemon Pepper Chicken Alfredo is the only chicken pasta on the official menu. You can also add chicken to another pasta.
- • Plant-based: Vegan Bolognese is the only main the restaurant labels vegan. Fried Brussel Sprouts use vegan aioli and vegan cheese.
- • Steak or lamb: Steak Frites is a 12 oz ribeye with fries. Lamb Chops come four to an order with spicy corn.
- • A starter and dessert: Crabby Fries or the shrimp-and-crawfish spinach dip, then the Butter Cake. Order dessert in the dining room if you want the ice cream.
- • Groups: The Royale Tower is the largest seafood plate listed, but Provaré doesn't state a serving size, so ask your server. Reservations max out at four or six guests depending on the source.
Prices, Service Charge and Ordering Channels
The official Chicago menu states: “20% service charge added to all checks.” Provaré doesn't explain on its website how the charge is distributed, whether it replaces a tip, or whether it applies to Uber Eats orders.
Because dine-in prices aren't published, we can't calculate a real dinner bill. As a hypothetical illustration only: if your dine-in food and drink subtotal came to $100, a 20% service charge would add $20. Tax is extra, and we haven't confirmed whether the charge is calculated before or after tax.
Don't compare app prices directly with a dine-in total. Uber Eats prices exclude Uber's delivery and service fees, and dining-room prices may differ from the app.
Reservations, Age Policy and Dress Code
Provaré books through Tock. Its own pages and Tock don't fully agree, so here's what each source says:
| Rule | Reservations page | About page | Tock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maximum party | 6 guests | 4 guests | 1 to 4 guests |
| Online booking charge | $2.50 per person fee | $2.50 per person | $3 per person deposit |
| Table time | 90 minutes | Not stated | Not stated |
| Grace period | 15 minutes, then forfeited | Not stated | Not stated |
| Booking window | 21 days ahead, new dates at 9 a.m. | Not stated | Not stated |
Since Tock is where you actually book, expect its current limits (four guests, $3 per person) to apply. For a party of five or six, contact the restaurant before booking. Provaré doesn't say whether the fee or deposit is credited toward your bill, and no cancellation terms are posted on the official pages.
Other rules: Provaré is 21 and over. Walk-ins are welcome at the bar, which serves the full menu, and walk-ins don't pay the reservation fee. Don't make multiple reservations for one group, and reservations aren't transferable. The About page lists a dress code: no caps, athletic wear, or revealing clothing.
Chicago Location, Hours and Online Ordering

It has its own Tock booking (up to 4 guests) and its own menu, which overlaps with the main menu but doesn't include Vegan Bolognese. Details are on the Privé page.
Michelin: Provaré has a listing in the Michelin Guide, categorized as Fusion and Creole. As of October 2, 2026, the listing shows no Michelin Star or Bib Gourmand.
Dietary Questions and Nutrition Availability
Provaré doesn't publish calories, nutrition facts, or an allergen chart. From the official ingredient lists:
- • Shellfish is in most of the menu, including the spinach dip, Crabby Fries, Seafood Trio, scampi, lobster dishes, Royale Tower, and the Smash Burger's lobster claws.
- • Dairy shows up in the cream and Alfredo sauces, mozzarella, pepper jack, parmesan, butter, and the Butter Cake's ice cream. Uber Eats marks the Salmon Egg Roll “Contains Dairy.”
- • Wheat is likely in the pastas, garlic bread, egg rolls, croutons, and fried batters. Provaré doesn't mention gluten-free pasta.
- • Pork: Alla Vodka contains pancetta.
Vegan Bolognese and Fried Brussel Sprouts are the only dishes described with vegan components. A no-seafood dish isn't automatically vegan, and the menu doesn't mention fryer sharing or cross-contact. If you have an allergy, ask staff directly. The menu also carries a standard warning about raw or undercooked meat, seafood, and eggs.

How we verify our menu data
We start with Provaré Chicago's own website, ordering system, and published nutrition documents. When those don't show prices, we use one named restaurant location's own listing on a delivery platform or its in-store menu board, and say so. Nothing is copied from other menu-listing sites. Every figure on this page is dated, and every source we checked is listed below, including the ones that didn't give us usable data.

Pickup and default modes returned identical prices for all 37 listings. Several names differ from the official menu (Pasta Trio, Crab Cake Egg Rolls, Butter Cake (no ice cream)), some sides are listed twice at two prices, and ordering hours end 30 minutes before the dining room closes Tuesday to Saturday.
