I've walked by this place for many years and I finally came in and couldn't be happier! This place has definitely hit the top of the list for Italian food for me! We sat at their cute patio outside and was such a cute place. The service was good and quick! And the food was delicious!! I can't wait to come back

Club Lucky is an institution in the Chicago Bucktown neighborhood. It's the perfect combination of excellent Italian fare in a hip, vintage lounge scene. @clubluckychicago It combines the feel of a 1940's cocktail lounge with a supper club featuring authentic Sicilian cooking. This is why it's one of my favorite places of all time. Post up to the bar for a Manhattan or Martini alongside some gorgeous homemade bread, roasted garlic and a bowl of their epic marinara sauce for dipping (or gravy as my family calls it). That's just heaven!!! When entering, you walk into a time warp of the Rat Pack era wondering if Frank and Dino are following behind you. The vintage decor captures the martini and cigar atmosphere perfectly. The bar area is an exact replica of the original room, as it was in 1938. Martinis are shaken, not stirred, and are made from one of 21 vodkas, eight gins, and olives hand-stuffed with cocktail onions, anchovies, pimentos or blue cheese. The Manhattan's are some of the best you will ever have and the healthy pour is unmistakable and quite appreciated. My cocktail buddies call that kind of pour a kiddie pool. The jukebox is filled with Rat Pack tunes and swing bands to set a mood chicagoans have loved for over 35 years. Next time you're in Chicago go check out some of the best bartenders and vibe around.

Stopped by yesterday afternoon for a light snack while on a lovely walk. I found a great table in the shade- perfect for a sunny, slightly cool Chicago afternoon. I saw a number of customers with a colorful beverage in front of them- my fabulous server, informed me it was an Aperol Spritz. Had to order! So refreshing and light. They brought me some fresh warm bread and then took my lunch order. I had the grilled calamari appetizer- it was a unique presentation. Fresh cut peppers, tomatoes, onions and capers on top of the tender calamari. It was the perfect combination with the drink! My server came to check on me often, refilling my water. I have been to this restaurant a number of times and was happy to make another visit during my travels!

Club Lucky is a great spot! I love their martini with blue cheese olives. We split two different pastas and it was the perfect amount of food. Their table bread is also amazing. We didn't get any apps because the bread and pasta was enough for us. Highly recommend and has a great patio on the sides of the building and out back!

Very fun birthday dinner here! It was perfect for a group - not too hard to get a reservation, something for everyone, and tons of food. I had the lasagna and literally ate it over four meals. Huge portions all around! The calamari was also very good. This has an old school Italian frank sinatra kind of vibe and we had a great time. There is a valet, but there is also quite a bit of street parking in the area.

I love, love, love Club Lucky! This is my favorite bar in Chicago! The bar staff are all gorgeous!!!! But additionally, they are very talented bar tenders! I love to sit at the bar and watch the bar tenders at work, it's a show all by itself! They have whimsical, vintage cocktail shakers on display above the bar area that are always fun to look at along with a jukebox, which is always lots of fun! Highly recommended!

We ordered Club Lucky for takeout. Everything was packaged nicely and the pastas were a great portion. I built my own with rigatoni, vodka sauce and veal meatballs. My husband got the 8 finger cavatelli with meatballs and sausage. We also got the salad with cheese, tomato, and onions. It was good but way overpriced we thought. I enjoyed my pasta, perfectly cooked and good flavor. I prob wouldn't get the veal meatballs again, they lacked flavor. The regular meatballs and sausage in my husbands were both tasty. My husband liked his pasta and sauce but we both thought the pasta was dense and heavy.

The ambiance here is off the chart. Cross between old school Little Italy with trendy Chicago vibes. Sensational cocktails. Best martinis on the planet. Wasn't the world's greatest Italian food but was still top notch. I left my chicken parm plate clean.
