The Scene – Once a VFW dance hall, this space fondly recalls its 1930s splendor, complete with diamond tile floor, glass block windows, red naugahyde booths and geometrically patterned curtains. Adorned with fantastic, UFO-like light fixtures, the high tin ceiling amplifies conversation and giving the room a spirited vibe. After the kitchen closes, the bar continues to buzz as young, Bucktown locals stop by for expertly shaken martinis. – – The Food – Italian favorites come in generous portions that make leftovers inevitable. Lightly breaded fried calamari is a…

Exceptional Italian

by WindyCityNewbie

I visited Club Lucky for dinner and was amazed by this little gem of a restaurant in the heart of Bucktown. The 1930's decor, mixed with the to-die-for pasta entree I enjoyed, truly made this restaurant stand out. The owner was also extremely hospitable and welcoming!

  • Pros: Four cheese pasta
  • Cons: Nada

Amazing! Truly amazing...

by austinite88

I have been there several times recently and continue to be impressed. Club Lucky provides not only high quality Italian food, but excellent, attentive service as well. Everything from the Club Lucky salad to the Sangria is wonderful. I would highly recommend this place to anyone interested in good Italian. The patio is nice as well!

  • Pros: Food, drinks, and service
  • Cons: not a one

Ambiance makes this place

by donut44

Never thought I would be writing a review about ambiance, but this place has it. It is actually quaint and pretty sure I knew I would never use this word. Still not sure I spelled it right. Either way, I like the atmosphere and my meal was not bad. I didn't pay so I didn't pay attention to price, but the menu was filled with Italian dishes you don't normally see, which was cool. However, apparently they are not big on meat, because the lasagna has no meat, the ravioli has no meat and barely any of the dishes have any meat and no meat sauce. That's all right, I had meat balls and they were good.

Service was good and I would recommend it for the cool atmosphere and good food. They do serve Fresca though!!

  • Pros: Ambiance, Not same Italian food, Fresca
  • Cons: No meat sauce?
