LimelightJuly 26, 2013Club Lucky is an iconic restaurant serving traditional Italian fare and delicious "killer" martinis. Don't forget to check out their extensive cocktail book for some well-crafted drinks.
Talal AAugust 6, 2021So friggin' charming. Negroni and martini were excellen, cavatappi and veal meatballs were delicious. Worth the trek from the Northside!

DanielSeptember 28, 2016Martinis, pasta, bruschetta is the bomb. However, a previous tip mentions $6 martinis on Tuesdays but that is no longer the case unfortunately.

A mainstay in the Bucktown/Wicker Park area for over 20 years, brick walls, formica tables, and oversized Naugahyde booths provide a genuine design element to complement “grandmother's recipes” on the Italian menu. Our atmosphere is casual, the prices are reasonable and the portions are generous!
