Carlucci - Rosemont

Service was good. Food was terrible. We places our order and got bread put on table. We just took a piece of bread and the food came. How could it be cooked that quick. That tells me it was all pre cooked and re heated. No flavor in foos at all. Was a huge disappointment.

The food presentation and taste is only surpassed by the professional and courteous staff!

Our Brie appetizer was phenomenal and so was our. Dessert. My husBand said his sea bass was ok. I had the pasta with braised beef sauce was not what I expected. I was thinking it would be stringy pieces of beef but it was more like hamburger. The oil with our bread was ok but we were surprised their was no Parmesan on the table for our oil. Not something I have had to ask for in other Italian restaurants. The hostess stopped at our table, and she was very nice and we enjoyed our chat.

Fantastic experience. Top notch staff and great Italian food. Extensive menu. You will not be disappointed.

Overall is was a nice experience. We did however have to send back the ravioli my husband ordered 2 times and finally just skipped it all together. It was a little hard (the pasta) and dry. And tons of butter at the bottom of the bowl. However the staff and manager were very understanding and accommodating about it. The manager even sent us home with 2 desserts to enjoy later because we were in a little rush to leave. Truly appreciated the good customer service and hospitality.

Food was excellent and had an awesome waiter. C.C. Was attentive and extremely knowledgeable with the wine list and menu selections.

A great experience.....I will be back.

We had a great time and our waitress was perfect

We always have a great meal and a great time! We always ask for our waiter, Grumpie. He is amazingly good at what he does and has a fun personality!

food delicious and service very good thank you

Our server, Elizabeth, was knowledgable and friendly. The calamari was cooked to perfection, with a delicious tomato sauce we used for our bread. The caesar salad, and bruschetta were also delicious, and although we loved our pasta parmesan- we had to take it home, we were so full! Great place and everyone was super friendly!

Superb pizza appetizer followed by house salad and carlucci signature pasta with cheese/cream sauce. Brought our own wine no corkage fee Saturday nights. Great value!!

New Years ever dinner

It was a very good place. The only downside is the bathroom is outside the restaurant way down a hallway. Not very close. But other then that is was wonderful.

We've been to Carluccis several times and we always like it. We went with another couple and they had never been there before. They really liked it and will probably be back.

It was a Christmas gift to ourselves to see a show and have a nice romantic delicious dinner. Show was great and everything about Carlucci's was WonDERful ... except our server. She was distracted and we perceived her as uninterested the entire evening and failed to check on us frequently so I ended up drinking water versus getting a 2nd Iced Tea ... sorry if I decided not to drink and cause a lower bill ... which was $100 ... and we still gave her 20% tip, figuring everyone has a rough day, but it was still a disappointment to a wonderful evening. After the meal we went to the restrooms and saw her sitting in the adjacent room on her phone and then going through her receipts. If we return, we would specifically ask NOT for her to serve us.

It was very busy but service and food were great!

Anytime I come to Chicago I always try to go to this restaurant. I love the ambiance, service and the food is outstanding. I highly recommend it.

Excellent!

Great menu and solid wine list.

Christmas Eve dinner, we dined in the back room which was quieter than the main room. CC was our server and she was wonderful and helpful, picking the perfect wine pairings. The portions were good sized; we find veal servings typically small but this was generous as was the Frutti di Mare. Excellent meal!

Christmas Eve dinner was amazing. Our meals were prepared with perfection. The fried calamari are the best I have ever had. Tender with a crisp breading. Clay was our server and was friendly, helpful & charismatic. He is one of the best waiter's I have had anywhere. Overall a great dining experience.

Ardit did an excellent job taking care of us - everything was excellent

Prices a bit higher, which is ok as the food is great, but I go here every Christmas and usually get Art as a server...but this night, he was not working. Well, I have to say, he should be in charge of training the waitstaff because the experience was just not the same with a different waiter. I can honestly say, I will NOT return unless when I make my reservation, Art will be my waiter. The experience was simply not the same without him.

Finally great service! We had a great experience thx

Absolutely outstanding experience for our family. The food was extraordinary and the service provided by our server was incredible. Carlucci’s is superb.

Great service and very nice atmosphere. I loved my meal. My wife liked her meal but not as much. Complimentary valet parking also a plus.

I wanted to take my family to a 'top' restaurant for part of our Christmas memories. According to several sites, Carlucci is the #1 restaurant in Rosemont! They were right! Every aspect of Carlucci was excellent, from our greeting when we arrived to our service, attention, and food during our meal. Our server was exceptionally friendly and attentive. He answered our many questions and offered his opinion when asked. We shared the bruschetta and grilled calamari appetizers; each was fresh, delicious, and unique. Among the five of us, we tried a variety of foods. The filet and shrimp was a recommendation for my son. He enjoyed every bite. A specialty of the house was the linguine with parmesan and prosciutto (tossed, table-side in a wheel of fresh parmesan). It was very rich (maybe a bit too rich for my daughter), but quite delicious. Another daughter had the penne with grilled vegetables. This was amazing...the vegetables were so fresh and grilled to perfection. My daughter requested eggplant and a fresh plate of grilled eggplant was delivered momentarily. I have a special: monk fish stuffed with shrimp and crab, wrapped in prosciutto. This was a MOST amazing dish....I wasn't sure what to expect, but is was unbelievable. The prosciutto was so crisp and tasty, and the fish with the crab was moist and delicious.
My third daughter had the seafood risotto in a parmesan bowl. This was our only slight disappointment of the evening. The risotto was a bit dry and not very flavorful. The dish was presented nicely in the parmesan bowl, but the plate was bare otherwise.

Dessert: they were out of the bread pudding, which was our top choice. We had the cannolis, which were freshly stuffed and very light. We also shared the creme brulee, which was good.

Overall, our time at Carlucci was perfect! It is a beautiful restaurant with fresh and delicious food and a friendly staff.

The salmon was wonderful, the pasta was excellent. The sauce was a reason to go back and try on other dishes.

I brought one of my most important clients here for a Christmas luncheon. Everything was perfect! THANKS VANESSA! This restaurant is true blue Italiano! :-) . MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We come here every year To meet friends for Christmas. We love the beautiful Christmas decorations, the food is always very good, and the service Very efficient. I just wish our waiter could have been just a little bit friendly......not one smile & we’re a very easy bunch.

Hard to have a business discussion.

We had an 8 p.m. reservation on Sunday night to meet some friends from out of town as this was the only time that worked for the four of us. We wound up running late and arrived at 8:30.
The Carlucci’s staff could not have been more wonderful! They kept the kitchen open so we could order and stayed until after 10 p.m. even though we were the only party remaining in the entire restaurant. They were gracious and kind and we were so appreciative!
As usual, the food and ambiance were wonderful and we will come back again many times. Thank you Carlucci’s!!!

We had a party of 5. We were seated in the upper level of the bar. When we sat down we noticed that the paper over the tablecloth was used and dirty - yuck! They cleared the table and put down a fresh sheet of paper. Later when our meal was served, someone went to use the salt shaker, and it had red sauce splattered all over it - yuck again! Our server was attentive but also knew when to leave us alone. Food was decent, however, I ordered pasta with chicken, spinach, tomatoes, and asparagus; I was given pasta with chicken and broccoli! It was Saturday night, and there were very few people in the bar and restaurant. Don't think I will come back. The restaurant seems outdated and not too clean!

Celebrating a 60th birthday. Food and service were good. Little hard to find but enjoyed our dinners.

Christmas lunch

Art was a amazing server! The Food was spectacular!

The food was really great, but what stood out was the service. Our waiter, was super respectful, knowledgeable, and honestly the greatest. The good service didn’t end there, the bus boys were on their A-game. Our water was always promptly refilled, our plates cleared when we were done.

I’d def recommend dining here. I got the Pizza Montanara which was amazing, the prosciutto on the pizza was excellent.

My wife got the Radiatori del Mezzadro which she enjoyed.

Food was mediocre at best. Osso bucco dry and tasteless. Living on past glory I fear.

We had the most amazing meal with outstanding service. The lobster bisque was fabulous!! Al our entrees were fabulous and hot when served. We can’t wit to go back to Carlucci’s!

Outstanding service and food. Never had a bad meal or an issue of any kind here.
