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

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?

We go to Club Lucky pretty regularly, mostly for carryout. The food is pretty good, although this past weekend, 2 of us ordered the special (lobster/shrimp in spinach ravioli) and it was barely warm and pretty bland. A big surprise was that they charge for refills on sodas. For a party of 4, we racked up $25 in soda alone...we thought that was pretty unusual, we were disappointed...who does that anymore?

Pros: selection, dessert

Cons: refill charges, no reservations

This really is an awesome date place. The cocktails rock, the food is absolutely delish, and it's got killer atmosphere. You will spend some cash at this place, but it's worth every dime. If you've been a jerk to your girlfriend and want to make it up, I highly recommend this place. She'll love it and you won't want to claw your own eyes out because of pretentious hipsters.

Pros: awesome italian, tasty cocktails, neato ambience

Cons: no parking!, ok, valet parking, not cheap

Wow! I've been coming to Club Lucky for nearly 10 years. The food is simple Italian comfort food and it is always consistantly very good. When my fiends take me to a different Italian restaurant I am usually dissapointed because they can't measure up to Club Lucky. The martinis in the swanky coctail lounge with the awsome juke box playing is a great time even if you dont want to have dinner. Great Late nite place! Strongly recomend: Ketel 1 martini with blue cheese olives, grilled calamari, grilled pork chops, chicken vesuvio, Rigatoni with veal meatballs, chocolate cake. Go during the week to avoid huge crowds.

Pros: Alway great food, outdoor patio, cocktail lounge

Cons: Crowded weekends, Only $6 valet parking

Went there this SATURDAY, and i thought the food was excellent! The service was fast, but not too fast as to push you out the door. The aroma of home cookingfilled the air. Polite hostess, waitress, and staff made this outing a real pleasure. I can't wait to return with my friends, who appreciate GOOD FOOD!

Pros: inexpensive, fast service

Cons: crowded, not too good parking

or are you just happy to be at Club Lucky! What can I say... I love this place.. my friends love this place... even my parents love this place... It must be the Jukebox full of Frank, the swank atmosphere, the beautiful people, the always consistent great dishes (hint: salmon special), and the dy-no-mite martinis! I don't think blue cheese stuffed olives get any bigger than this!

Pros: Value, dinner or drinks, fun

Cons: crowded weekends, small patio dining

Editor's Review

A lively, cross-generational crowd flocks to this Bucktown mainstay for Italian food in a hip, retro setting.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

Lucky's classic martinis have won awards, but a sweet favorite is the push-up martini, with liquor 43, cream, Stoli orange and vodka.
