Via Carducci - Wicker Park

Birthday Good food

the food was all excellent in this very small and cozy restaurant, but, i did not appreciate them taking away my drink that was still half full and then they asked us to leave at 10pm because....why???? not a good way to end the evening....

Intimate atmosphere. Delicious food. Great service. Go!

Always an enjoyable experience here - great atmosphere and food and even better price!

It gets very cramped if there are a lot of people, but the food is excellent and the servers are attentive!

Excellent food and excellent service pair well for a great night out. They have a nice wine list (I drank a $49 super tuscan that was great). The appetizer was delicious, hot and crisp fried calamari. I had veal which was in an excellent sauce. The service was spot on, which is unusual these days. Loved it and would definetely go back. On a busy street and parking is hard.

Loved it here! Food was yummy, portions were large and it was all around a great time.

Great food and cocktails...enjoyed it a ton!

We love Via Carducci! Great food, great staff and excellent service

A cozy yet vibrant neighborhood joint. I can’t think of any downside.

Solid Italian dining!

The food is always very good here as well as service. A good go to staple.

Best Italian restaurant I’ve visited. We each had one of the specials and they were both delicious.

enjoyed the food and the service! our server was attentive and kind. despite being quite busy, we were well taken care of and our food arrived timely and delicious!

Delicious food, great ambience, great staff

Everything was excellent! The service is truly outstanding, the food so delicious, the portions generous and the ambiance beautiful. We absolutely loved it, would highly recommend it!

Via Carducci in Wicker Park is the perfect small Italian spot to grab a delicious meal. They had amazing and unique specials and the buratta, pasta and fish were all amazing. I highly recommend!

Love everything about this place. Food, service, atmosphere. It’s a neighborhood gem.

The entire experience was fantastic

Overall service, outside patio, and food quality was excellent.

This might be the best wait-staff I've experienced since the old days at the Berghoff. Everything coordinated like a ballet. We got there early and got seated right away.
Food lived up to its description. Wine is reasonably priced. Al fresco was charming, if you can that about anything on Division street in Ukrainian Village Shhh...don't tell anybody!

We went to the Renegade Fair and then had dinner. It was crowded but we were able to get a table outside. We love this restaurant. We have always had delicious meals and great service! I would definitely recommended this restaurant!!

Amazing service and food! We will return soon!

This is literally my favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago. Great service, super great food and an authentic atmosphere. I had my birthday dinner here, I've ordered online and I’ve taken plenty of friends. Nothing but wonderful things to say about this location!

Very good one of my go tos in the neighborhood

Love this place! Very consistent and the Bolognese is the BEST!

Really enjoyed. Only two things:
1. Needed more spread on the Bruschetta Di ‘Nduja. There was barely any sausage spread on it. Definitely dry/ needed it.
The salmon carpaccio was amazing.

2. They did not space out the appetizers to the meal. We were still eating our apps when our dinners came. That was a little overwhelming.

Everywhere is short workers so I factored that into my rating. There were some items that ran out just for our table and they adjusting the price. I had a reservation, but the owner acted like I was putting him out because he hadn't checked the computer. He asked if I had made it a few minutes before, but I made it at least ten hours earlier. He found us a table quickly though. There was also a tv playing tennis that ruined the ambience a bit. The food was well done and the portions were huge. Everyone was happy except for my friend who ordered a pasta dish with clams and they had run out, forcing her to get a different dish entirely.

This is my absolute favorite Italian restaurant in Chicago! Everything is delicious and homemade. I love coming here :)

Visited a while ago and sat outside, loved our server and how well he accommodated us! Food was phenomenal and the wine selection was great.

The food and the service were exemplarily and our waiter was very friendly and attentive. However, when I presented a discrepancy on the check to the waiter, he summoned the owner who proceeded to lecture me on increasing food costs due to Covid and that he could not be reasonably expected to keep up with rising food prices on his menu. We were overcharged by $6 and we just asked to have the bill corrected as per the menu, and instead of correcting the check he made excuses as to why his menu was inaccurate. The owner does not understand the basic principles of customer service, and due to his ignorance and arrogance, I will never go back to his restaurant regardless of how good the food is. He lost a future customer over six dollars that was his mistake, not mine, and when I pointed it out to him, he became very defensive.

enjoyed the food. good serving sizes. enjoyed sitting outside. would eat here again.

Such a pleasant atmosphere and the staff is so friendly and helpful.
The food you can never go wrong with what you order always delish.

Excellent food, everything tasted homemade and from scratch. Some unique items on the menu as well. If you're up for dessert I recommend for the caramel cheesecake.

Right through the pandemic they have managed to maintain excellent food quality and a great environment with with a nice mix of people. Food was EXCELLENT, what a gem of a restaurant!

Food, wine and service as excellent. At our table was a superbly fresh cod special, ravioli with marinara, and pasta/salmon/vodka sauce- everything was great and nothing left on the plates! Also a wonderful bottle of wine recommended by our server.

very good southern Italia food. Healthy portions, (we usually split entree) good helpful service.

Excellent service , food is great!! Thank you so much for being the best restaurant in Chicago !!

Great date night spot. We sat outside which is right on Division, so can get kind of noisy with the cars driving by.

The host (may or may not have been the owner) gave us the best spot under a tree even though we were running late.

Food and drinks were pretty cheap too, relative to their quality.

Some of the best arrabbiata sauce that I've had in the city
