Throughout March, Friday's for fondue at Evanston's Va Pensiero. So grab a dipping partner and start with a pot of melted fontina, mozzarella, Parmesan, white wine and chives with housemade focaccia, garlic bread, apples, carrots and asparagus for dunking ($14 per couple). Follow that with beef tenderloin, tiger shrimp and lobster with red and yellow peppers, portobello mushrooms, eggplant, baby squash and marinated onions to cook in your choice of EVOO or Parmesan broth ($48 per couple). Finish your fondue fantasy with dark-chocolate fondue spiked with Chambord or Frangelico (optional) for dousing strawberries, bananas, pound cake, chocolate genoise and cheesecake ($18 per couple).
