Club Lucky

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!
