Welcome to Café Lucci!

Family owned and operated since 1995, Café Lucci is a fine dining restaurant known for innovative Italian cuisine, as well as prime beef, fresh fish and housemade desserts. Its award-winning wine list and regular Winemaker Dinners have contributed to its distinction on the North Shore and as a destination restaurant. Above all, Café Lucci's warm, welcoming ambience has its customers returning again and again.

Not Just a Tagline
Café Lucci's motto, "Good Food, Good Wine, Good People," is the distinguishing hallmark of this North Shore family-owned and operated restaurant, which is a favorite for neighborhood regulars, including many executives and professionals who hail from nearby corporations and businesses. Café Lucci also is a weekend and special-occasion destination for many folks who live in Chicago and have discovered an exceptional dining experience in Glenview.

Same Quality and Service with New Style Complete with New Outdoors Patio Dining!
Recently, Café Lucci underwent a total interior renovation creating a new look that is contemporary, chic and sophisticated - a total departure from the former Old-World ambiance inherited by the Arifi family when they assumed ownership of the 110-seat space in 1995. In 1999, the exterior also underwent a drastic makeover and, as of June 2010, have a new outdoor patio for your dining enjoyment.

"The all-new decor reflects and enhances our reputation for fine food, outstanding wines and extraordinary personal service," says Bobby Arifi. Featured is an extensive menu of regional Italian cuisine, USDA Certified Prime beef, chops and daily fresh fish.
