Delicious meal served by excellent staff in a superb ambiance. Outstanding experience, highly recommend and plan to return! As out of town tourists in comfortable travel clothes and a bit road weary we weren't sure if we would be comfortable dining here, however we were treated with utmost attentive and thoughtful service. A much appreciated reprieve after a long day of travel and a welcome delight to enjoy refreshing wine and superb food. Grilled octopus was a highlight! Reasonable prices for quality of food and excellent service. read more

Carlucci's in Rosemont truly lives up to its reputation of making customers feel special. After a rough day, I arrived without a reservation. Valet Kfeyis Yelcif kept my car up front in case things changed. Once inside, a minor interaction at the bar ruined my mood. When I returned to get my car, Kfeyis noticed I was upset. Despite my objections, he insisted on notifying the manager. Two manager came at Kfeyis' insistence to resolve the situation. Kfeyis's empathy and Carlucci's empowering culture turned my entire day around. Thank you Kfeyis for making a difference!! I also want to thank manager Arturo Manzanarenza for making me feel at home. His welcoming manner and wonderful service helped put me at ease. It's evident by his approach and demeanor that he wants your experience at carlucci's to be exceptional and that came through as he changed my day from one of disappointment to one of comfort and acceptance. Which is what I needed. Thank you Arturo for seeing with your heart!!! read more

Carlucci Rosemont - Celebrated our anniversary on this fabulous restaurant!! The food, the service and the ambiance were amazing!! - Italian Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Carlucci for lunch and dinner I recommend 1000% based on about 90 visits going back to about 1998. In Rosemont Carlucci is # 1 followed by Gibson's, etc. Carlucci has a great combination of cuisine, service and atmosphere at not crazy expensive prices. Technically a hotel restaurant, Carlucci is 1 of the best of any hotel anywhere. read more

This was an easy and convenient option as it was in the building connected to my Marriott hotel. My server and runners were friendly and efficient and the dining room was cozy. I enjoyed some wine, bread, soup and butternut squash ravioli with gelato for dessert. Everything was good but nothing amazing. I enjoyed the butternut squash ravioli after I rescued each piece that was drowning in brown butter. I would dine there again due to the convenience. read more

We celebrated my mother's birthday dinner here last weekend. My family has been going to Carlucci's for years, but this was my first time. First, the restaurant is beautiful. Such an old school Italian vibe, you can't get better than that! So many restaurants focus on being modern looking, it really removes the charm out of places. Carlucci's was such a vibe. I can't wait to bring my husband here. Onto service - our waiter, Sal was incredible! Had an amazing personality, and took wonderful care of us. We were never without drinks, our food came in a timely manner, couldn't have asked for better service. Onto the food! My mom and I split a salad, so fresh and delicious. We also split the octopus which was great! Very tender. I ordered the chicken Marsala as my main and it was delicious! The chicken was perfectly tender, the Marsala sauce was perfectly balanced and tasted incredible!! I was hoping for personal redemption because the last time I ordered chicken Marsala at a different restaurant, it was awful. So happy Carlucci's hit every mark on making it a perfect dish. Everyone else in my family loved their dishes. I did take a bite of my mom's bolognese, and it was so meaty and delicious. They brought out a piece of tiramisu for my mom's birthday, what a wonderful end to our evening! Can't wait to come back! read more

We were with a large group for a business dinner. The service was fantastic. I had chicken parmigiana and it was at the top of the best ever. The sauce had amazing flavor. The chicken was cooked perfectly- with just a little crisp. I started the evening with a Mamma Mia. The first time I've had this drink. A little on the sweet side, but the flavors melded together nicely. The Tiramisu was fantastic. read more

Overall, this restaurant was just okay but I would not come back. First we got the charcuterie plater which had a variety of cured meats and 2 types of cheeses. The meats were sliced way too thick and the cheese was just okay. Then we ordered the Bianca pizza which was pretty good! Finally we ended with the cheese wheel which was underwhelming. it literally tasted like buttered noodles. I was expecting them to really melt the cheese with a flame to get the pasta nice and cheesy but it literally tasted like butter. Also it came with peas and they were undercooked. Also, went for my parent's anniversary and they didn't even acknowledge the occasion. The place was very old and château like with modern music playing. Interesting atmosphere. Had tiramisu for dessert and it was delicious. read more

Carlucci is gives off a very cozy, and romantic, yet somewhat old school type of vibe. I loved it. Came here for dinner with the hubby and we left very full and satisfied. I had the Fruti Del Mar, a seafood pasta dish. It was very filling and a nice sized portion. Also got the Caesar salad and the arancini which were great appetizers to our meal. I also loved the complimentary bread that our meal came with which tasted great dipped in olive oil and cheese. I love Italian food and the vibes here are so nice and homely you just feel like you're at home. For dessert of course I had to go with the tiramisu and it did not disappoint. The presentation of the food was very beautiful and appetizing as well. Carlucci also has a great selection of wine to pair with your meal. I will definitely be back! read more

Had a quick business meeting a prospective new hire, it was dinner service time and the servers seemed a bit rushed to get appetizers and coffee. They didnt ask us for refills, and the coffee was lukewarm. But our server who brought us the bill was informed got me a piping hot coffee to go. good customer service. Our appetizers were pretty decent as well, calamari, buratta and bruschetta. read more

Carlucci Rosemont - Italian Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

I had an absolutely delicious dinner here! I had a business dinner here and we were seated in a lovely private room. Our servers were very attentive and friendly. The food was simply amazing. The assorted pizzas, Insalata della Casa, Orecchiette con Salsiccia, Costolette di Manzo and tiramisu were all fantastic ! The cocktail and wine menu is pretty vast, so there is definitely something for everyone! This is a great restaurant if you are staying in one of the nearby hotels and are looking for a great place to dine. I am looking forward to coming back soon! read more

I'd recommend Carlucci to anyone wanting Italian food without spending an arm and a leg. Amazing prices for the portion sizes in a calm, dimly lit, clean environment with excellent, attentive service. Mike was my server and took amazing care of me especially after I accidentally ordered the wrong dish named similarly to the one I wanted and he corrected it in no time. The manager (Murot, I believe) was very helpful as well. I will be back! read more

Great Restaurant & Amazing Service! I was just looking for a quick lunch before a flight and it turned into a great meal & experience! Vanessa, my server was fantastic & had some of the best service I've experienced from a waitress in a long time! She was incredibly attentive, recommended great dishes & was very friendly. The food was great and the service is what put this over the top. If you're looking for a great restaurant in Rosewood this is it! I'll be back on my next trip out here. read more

Everything about the Italian dining experience was great. Food is very good and generous. Service is attentive and friendly. Wine list has some nice Italian choices. We started with cocktails at their bar, dirty martinis with blue cheese olives and went on to the dining room. Great date night place, great for groups and special occasions. They have complimentary valet and love that we avoid traffic into the city for a special dinner. Our group had the Osso Buco, short ribs , the radiottori pasta and the pasta special; all were great and with leftovers. We saved room for dessert, bread pudding and tiramisu. Yum! read more

Business Lunch done well. Service was great. I do recommend lunch/dinner reservations as they get busy quick. One of my personal favorites in the area. The pasta is always great and the desserts are even better. read more

I moved away from Chicago about 15 years ago and I was craving good quality pasta, some cannoli, some red wine, nothing too fancy. Just a taste of home. This was right near the airport and hit the spot. It was exactly what I was looking for. read more

Carlucci was recommended by our hotel and the restaurant actually sent a shuttle to pick us up and drop us back off when we were done eating, which was a really nice service! The food and service was very good and we all enjoyed our evening. Prices were relatively high, but I would return when in the area. read more

We met for Christmas drinks ~ 415 pm and had a nice time in the bar. Service was friendly and fast, everyone like the calamari & esp the happy hour app prices! You can valet as I think all the parking around it is paid. Second year in a row here & we had a good time! read more

Carlucci Rosemont - Bar bill for 5 - Italian Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

I'd like to begin by saying that I know that the restaurant business can be challenging and difficult at times, however if you choose to call yourself fine dinning and ask these prices then expect an honest review. Went Xmas eve, party of ten and the bill was well over $1,000.00 Calamari appetizer over cooked and flavorless, octopus was overcooked and mush, served with chunks of potatoes, weird. I ordered the Osso Bucco, served in a strange brown canned gravy sauce, not good. Three others ordered the same and all were disappointed. Pasta was dry, cheese wheel never made it to the table and servers seemed aggravated throughout the entire service. What is the spinach thing? Why is this draped over all your dishes? Bitter and not good. Sorry I would rate it a 4 out of 10. read more

It was good but should've been better. Interior was beautiful tho. Good drinks & generous wine pours. Cesare was okay but Arancini was mid- tasted like it was reheated before it came out. For dinner the Campanella con gamberi was delicious. Not a bad meal but would choose another restaurant in the rosemont next time read more

Carlucci Rosemont - Arancini Ripieni & Cesare - Italian Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Although I was annoyed with the parking which forces you to valet even though there are spots right outside the door that they blocked off, the ambiance is very nice and Italian inspired. The service was just OK. When I asked how the non-alcoholic beer tasted, he replied "Italian". Not very helpful. My tilapia was cooled wekk but the sides were not what was listed on the menu. It was supposed to come with carrots and a farro in white sauce - no peppers. The bread pudding was good. Overall, not a great experience, and I would opt to not return given my blood pressure increased rather than decreased during the meal. read more

There's nothing bad I can say about Carlucci, especially during this amazing restaurant week! Every single plate that we got was truly delicious and that's rare! My husband and I attended this dinner and we had zero complaints everything was incredible the house bread, appetizers, drinks, entrees, and especially the dessert! The service was super and fantastic and on top of everything and honestly our server was such a sweet man so thankful we had him he gave us a great experience! And the ambience is so romantic we were sat by the window at sunset and the sun just made all these photos even better! Hope this review shows--Carlucci is the place to be! read more

The place was packed this evening so we did takeout. Not cheap but pretty good food. Nice ambiance for a dinner for two if you can get a table, reservation in advance are suggested. The bill for two dinners was over $140 without drinks. We did not order dessert but they do have some. The parking is valet but I'm sure you can also park it yourself in the very large lot where the restaurant and the hotel is located. We will definitely go back. read more

Stopped here for dinner with coworkers while in town. We had a great time. The server was very friendly. The ambiance is cute and felt authentic. For food they have great presentation and everything taste great. I personally got the tilapia dish with shrimp which I really enjoyed. For side I tried the corn soufflé which was lime a moist cornbread I enjoyed it. For starters we had a range of things that was good, such as Octopus & bruschetta read more

Carlucci Rosemont - Italian Near Me - Rosemont, Illinois

Food was mediocre at best. Got the short ribs, which came with spinach and mashed potatoes/gravy. There was no flavor to the ribs, like at all. Spinach in and of itself has flavor so that was no problem. The mash was decent, it had some seasoning, but overall everything just lacked a depth of flavor that you expect from a restaurant of this caliber. My business partner got the ribeye steak, it came with a corn souffle and cherry tomatoes. She said it was flavorless as well. Everything was cooked perfectly, but just lacking flavor. She also got a iced tea, which she said was also not the best. We also got dessert- I got the chocolate cake, she got the cannoli. Both of which was underwhelming- we did not finish the desserts at all. Actually only took a bite of each and called it a night. We did have an appetizer (calamari) which was arguable the best thing of the night. I wouldn't recommend and I'd only return if someone offered to take me there, and I'd only say yes as to be kind, but if possible I'd strongly deter. Food was THAT mediocre and simply not worth the price they charge. It was also very cold in the restaurant and took a while for them to bring the entree. The restroom is about a 3 minute walk down the hall from the actual restaurant, which is also a negative. It was a thursday night, and the restaurant was kind of empty, which is also not a good look. I think they are at the point of running their course, but because they are near O'Hare, it's probably keeping their business afloat. The food, the ambiance and the overall experience was not worth the money spent. read more

Loved the flavor and presentation of their signature dish Linguine with prosciutto and cheese. Only wish I had video taped the serving as they placed the hot pasta in a large chunk of parm cheese to add delicate flavor. We split the meal and it was just the right amount of food after some bred and a bite or two of calamari. read more

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this delicious Italian steakhouse located outside Chicago near the airport. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was captivated by the elegant ambiance and the aroma of sizzling steaks that filled the air. The service was impeccable. The staff members were attentive and knowledgeable, guiding me through the menu. We ordered the calamari, Italian sausages and procuitto and melon. , let's talk about the star of the show--the food. The culinary journey's star was the calamari, perfectly seasoned and tender, was a delightful start to the meal. Next, it was time for the main event--steak! Oh, the steaks! Cooked to absolute perfection, each bite was a revelation of succulent flavors. I ordered the filet for my main snd was not disappointed! I had mine with asparagus, foregoing the potato This was a work trip dinner, so, I did not chose the wine, however, we had a superb barolo, that was perfect with my steak. I had a very simple lemon sorbetto to end my meal...while I watched my colleagues indulge in cheesecake and tiramisu. I might return, but, keep in mind, this is pretty standard Italian mid west food...no fusion or anything crazy. read more

I was thoroughly disappointed in this restaurant. My husband had the veal piccata, I had the chicken marsala, both of them had a raw flour taste from the coating. It's almost like they forgot a step like maybe the egg wash. All I could taste was flour. The marsala had tiny little pieces of mushroom in it, not one whole piece. It's definitely was a premade sauce. The caprese salad was OK, of course the tomatoes were not ripe, but what do I expect for May. I truly expected a better meal than what we got. Our waiter was excellent, the service was excellent, was a nice atmosphere. But this is not good Italian food. Not by a long stretch. We will not be back. read more

Vanessa made me the BEST espresso martini I've ever had, and believe me, I've made and tried a lot of them. Service here has always been top notch. For food, I'm a big eggplant parm fan. Also, the cheese wheel pasta is incredible. Definitely my go-to Italian restaurant in Rosemont. read more

My fiancé and I came to Carlucci before a concert at Rosemont Theater - it was the perfect dinner before a show! We booked reservations and glad we did because the place was absolutely packed. With that said, the service was outstanding to get our drinks and order in right away. Our waiter, Mike, gave great recommendations on wine and suggested the Linguine Con Prosciutto Di Parma, which we both ordered. It's spun in a cheese wheel at the table and is very good. This is a little more on the pricey end but we knew that going in as a nice date night. The food is worth another trip back as is the great service. Carlucci did not disappoint! read more

We were visiting the Chicago area looking for a nice place to have dinner. Carlucci's was right around the corner from our hotel. The ambience is elegant, the service was top-notch, and the food was delicious. Stephen was our server and took care of all of our needs and had a great sense of humor. To start off our great meal - we were served their fresh bread at the table. Always a nice way to start! We enjoyed the Campanelle con Gamberi in a chive cream sauce- truly, the best pasta I have ever had. The shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the chive cream sauce was delicious. We also tried the house made ravioli, a vegan penne dish, grilled shrimp and octopus, and a delicious antipasto salad. We were all very pleased with our meals. We spoke to the chef, Moises, he has been there for quite some time and he's clearly doing a fabulous job! It was a fine meal and a beautiful restaurant! read more

Enjoy! read more

Well this one was, as they say in Boston, a "pissah"! Carlucci, a venerable Chicago restaurant name. I haven't been to one of their places in a quite a few years. Wife and I celebrate the day we met in person as an anniversary, and for us that usually means steak. On the first day we met, I took her to the Tiki Mecca: Hala Kahiki in River Grove, Il., which was to be this evening's final stop, so I needed to find a SteakHouse somewhere on River Rd and environs. There's plenty to choose from in that corridor. I should say there's plenty to choose from if you just hit all 5 plus the kicker in the MegaMillions. I don't mind paying a tidy sum for a fabulous steak, but of late we've gotten burned on the premium chophouses. (q.v. "Ruth's Chris" here on Yelp among others). Nothing worse than walking out of a joint leaving behind the equivalent of a car payment with the thoughts we had a better meal at the local Longhorn for the same cash outlay as the tip we left at the posh joint. That's actually a true story. Carlucci's menu was attractive and appropriately priced. It's kind of tucked away in an office building north of the I-190 O'hare feeder, the complimentary Valet is welcome. The rooms are elegant in that muted gold way common to posh Italian restos, quite attractive actually. The staff was cheerful. I had eyed the menu earlier in the day, with a nod towards Osso Buco d' Agnello; and the Filetto di Manzo for the Mrs.. We didn't have any boozes, saving it for the later Polynesian destination. We both ordered salads, opting for the "half" portions offered by the waitron; not on the menu. Wife going for the "Casalingo" minus all the accoutrements she disdains, like olives and ricotta salata; with "ranch" substituted over the red wine vinaigrette. I swung with the "Cesare" (with anchovies, natch!). They arrived, in paltry portion; and dont'cha know-her "Casalingo" was dressed with the vinaigrette plus a heap of the ricotta salata on top. Sent back to the kitchen for correction (with no complaint from the server), and returned promptly. Wife said it was fine. My "Cesare" tasted like many things, none of which were a "Caesar" as I know it. However, It was a good salad, with 2 'chovy filets atop-and they were the yummy "Italian Deli" kind, not the bullshit ones in a little tin. The "Filetto di Manzo", on the menu, is accompanied by "Soft Mascarpone Polenta", which wasn't in the cards for Wife, who subbed "Mashed Potatoes" in her order. The Steak came and looked good at first, so did the mashers. She soon found those mashers to be barely lukewarm, and kind of bland. The steak was a center cut, and done to the proper temp, but one side was distinctly grey, as if freezer-burned. The steak also was barely seasoned. The scarce "Marsala Wine Reduction Sauce" didn't do much to help the flavor. Wife asked for some butter and garlic, again supplied quickly and without issue by the attentive Waitron. We also had an order of "Sauteed Spinach" for the table, one of our faves; and Wife put some of the spinach on the 'taters to warm it up, but it was kind of a futile effort-the spinach was bland, too. My Lamb Osso Buco was ok, not fabulous, but edible. My plate had the aforementioned Polenta, and it was a meager souply portion-again, not very warm. It tasted ok, but it was so runny, I almost had to ask for a spoon. Wife passed over a chunk of her steak for me to try, and it was again, ok, but not $50 ok. The filet served at our local Longhorn is superior. I closed my meal with an espresso. It was...Espresso. Asking for the check, Wife mentioned it was our anniversary, and the waitron snatched the folder back and disappeared, re-appearing shortly with a dessert plate featuring a cylinder of dense chocolate cake and a scoop of gelato, with strawberries and shpritzes of whipped cream. The server had a small boat of sauce which she flamed over the cake. Nice! The complimentary celebratory dessert was the highlight of the meal. Go figure. The bill was about $130, pre-tip, and I left a good one, as the service was absolutely top-notch. Can't say as much for the rest of the feed. Our booth was near the path to the kitchen and I noticed a number of plates coming back from other tables with not a lot of the stuff on them consumed. I also saw action concurrent with a flubbed entree order at another table. The great Guitarist John McLaughlin, in an interview a while back said: "you have to know what a Hershey bar is to appreciate Belgian Chocolate". I love that quote, and in my mind, it applies to our stop here at the Carlucci. Think about it for a minute and you can figure it out. Throwing 2 stars for a disappointing experience. PS-The restrooms are almost an Uber-ride away-kinda creepy in a desolate office building after hours. read more

The ambiance and atmosphere is authentic, I felt transported to an Italian town. The service is incredible, with the staff being very attentive to our allergies and checking with the kitchen to ensure we were taken care of. The quality of food was a little lacking: some of the dishes were dry but some were very tasty so I have mixed feelings. I got the chicken parmigiana which tasted zesty and cooked to perfection. Overall a great experience, I would like to come back in the future if I am in the Rosemont area. read more
