Carlucci Rosemont

Well I gotta say the food was decent and the service was...terrible.  The place was busy (as it should it's in corporate central). You would assume the service staff would be used to this kind of fast pace atmosphere, but they weren't!  

I went for my birthday. My lovely boyfriend took me.  It was a Thursday night. Mostly a business crowd (surprise!).  We got a seat right next to the kitchen which we were able to view through a glass.  I like that.  I like that I can see whether someone is wiping the sweat off their forehead then buttering my bread or actually washing their hands and keeping it clean! Luckily, it was the latter.  

It took our server awhile to actually approach us. When she graciously arrived at our table I tried to make casual conversation, which she ignored. It made me feel like a total loser. So, therefore you can only imagine that her tip was the minimum 20%.  Thanks for your hospitality (sarcasm, maybe?).  She was the kind of waitress that was 'so busy' she couldn't finish a sentence before she walked away from us. "I'm sorry, WHAT? Oooo..ok See ya later! Hope that table of 10 gets more out of ya!"

The food was good, luckily.  It came in a massive amount. Even the appetizers were meant for 7.  But we, of course, finished our calamari. I ordered a steak. It was good.  I just can't stop thinking about how rude our server was. Not that she said anything rude. But her complete avoidance of real conversation and care was what got me.

Anyways. I won't be going back.  I can find good food in a lot more places with GOOD service.

I work in the same building so by default I hang my hat here quite often. Great place to have a drink in the bar. If you do, make sure you go on a night Becca is working (Fridays), she will take great care of you.
They have specials most nights, drinks/1/2 off apps.
Nice touch - They also always have wasabi mix to munch on at the bar.
Minus - Venue relies on office building for restroom facilities so they are a hike and not very convenient.
Tip - While you are there, be sure to get your shoes shined outside the restaurant, the gentleman does a fine job for a fair price.
Bonus Tip - I highly recommend the tastings they host, always enjoyable and free.

Good for business lunches and fancy dinners as well.
Keep up the good work Carlucci :-)

My favorite spot for lunch on Mondays and Tuesdays, the half-off pasta days! The pasta is delicious, and very customizable.

Be careful of the long wait for food, though. My lunches often end up being over an hour, even if I get seated immediately, because of how long the food takes.
