"Longtime Italian restaurant Carlucci is closing, reported the Tribune. It had a 15-year run in the suburbs and was the last restaurant ran by respected restaurateur Joe Carlucci. Sunday’s its last day." - Daniel Gerzina

Was here for a fundraiser and had buffet style food. There were salads, grilled veggies, fried risotto balls (highlight of the meal), meatballs, variety of pastas, salmon and chicken. Dessert featured cheesecake, brownies, tiramisu and cannolis. The bartenders were fast and the drinks well made. The restaurant has a wide variety of cocktails available, which was fantastic. Would come again!

The patio here is great... they have half price wine nights and a band that plays in the summer... food is a bit pricey for what you get but totally worth it. The pastas and sauces are elegant and fresh. Complimentary valet is a nice perk. Restaurant tends to be fairly packed but wait staff and management is highly accommodating.

DELICIOUS. This is a high end place. Our waiter knew what he was doing and was exceptionally personable, and our food was magnificent. It's pricey, yes, but worth it for an occasion. I spent something like seventy dollars on two entrees, an appetizer, and the tip. Free dessert on your birthday is very impressive.

I was recently there for party I would say nice ambience. Nice location. Seemed clean. The food was not very good the service was awful I felt bad for my friend who paid some good money for this party. You waited 20 to 45 minutes between each coarse. Just to get a beverage I waited 1 hour. The pasta was very undercooked. The salad (ceaser) only had lettuce and dressing that tasted like fish no tomatoes nothing oh yes they had croutons that were on there they were so hard they wouldn't even break after trying to grind then down. I rarely leave a bad review on any place but I wouldn't recommend this place to no friends or family members Nor would I ever go back there, I don't care if it is a small meal or a party or wedding I wouldn't waste my money. Time wasted and I did have high hopes for this place before I entered there looked on line and seen how nice it was and the menu looked so good. Unfortunately that is not what I experienced.

I have been here 2x so far. One was a 50 person event. The other a dinner for 5. The service was great. The food was fantastic. I had Veal and Palenta which were made perfect. I have had 2 martinis and 2 mixed drinks. Both were strong alcohol meaning not cheaply made. I will be back again and again!

Disappointing from beginning to end. We waited 20 minutes after our reservation for a table. Service was very slow and inattentive. Our waiter brought the wrong menu, got one of our orders wrong, and didn't fill our water glasses. Calamari and pizza were good but all other food was uninspired. The fish had bones in it. The espresso cocktail had to be sent back. Wait staff were loudly using profane language right behind our 10 year old son. Carlucci may have been good in the past, but it is definitely past it now.

Just had my baby shower at Carlucci and it was just wonderful!! We enjoyed everything and don't have a single complaint and can't thank the staff enough for the attentive and accommodating service!! All bases were covered and everything from beginning to end ran so smoothly. All of the servers were so fantastic and helpful, and the attention to detail was outstanding. The food was DELICIOUS!! I definitely recommend Carlucci as a place to go for special events or even just dinner for a delicious meal, beautiful ambiance, and outstanding service. Everything about our event was not only right, but above and beyond. They are wonderful.

We've been here three times. The first two times were great. However, we went here today for lunch and had a different experience. We sat for several minutes without being acknowledged by the wait staff. We were given bread and sat for several more minutes. One waiter walked by our table twice, and he even made eye contact with me both times. He never said a word. We got up to leave and this same waiter then asked us if we needed any help. We will not be back here. Oh and there was dries red sauce on the fork that was sitting out on the table. How can you miss a fork covered in sauce?
