Save your appetite before sitting down at Best Local suburban restaurant Café Lucci (609 Milwaukee Ave.) in Glenview; you’ll want one of its killer entrees before celebrating National Spumoni Day. The lobster ravioli or veal scampi has diners raving. Top it off with house-made spumoni, of course! Try it just an 11-minute drive from River 595 Apartments in Des Plaines!
