I've been to Carlucci once, and it was fantastic.
Also, if you're ever in Woodridge, Illinois(west suburbs of Chicago), I HIGHLY recommend hitting up Doggie Diner. You can get 2 dogs, an order of fries, and a beer for less than $5. Their fries smoke everybody else's. There's also onein Bolingbrook, if you're in that neck-of-the-woods.
