Rustic Southern Italian Cuisine features plenty of natural ingredients from the four basic food groups. Here at Via Carducci we use only fresh ingredients to insure the best possible quality. We feature regional Italian wines that best complement the cuisine of Southern Italy. Since we cannot take you back to Calabria, we have brought a little of Calabria to you.

    Service and food were excellent. Waited a little bit past our reservation time but every second there was worth every penny and more! Can’t wait to return.

    Our table ordered the beet salad, rigatoni with roasted eggplant, gnocchi, and the linguine con gamberi. For dessert we had the lemon sorbet. Everything was so delicious! Our server, Ethan, was very personable, as well as all of the other staff we encountered. We will absolutely return!

    Our party ordered two filet mignon steaks, both of which were prepared medium rare. However, we ordered only one medium rare and the other medium well. When we got the receipt, we noticed the server made a mistake. There was a fly at our table for the entire duration of our dinner. Service was ok, the server was somewhat attentive. A 3% extra charge was added to our bill for using a credit card, which was noted on the menu. However, I feel it is ridiculous to charge extra for paying with a credit card. We have a party of 5 and do not carry a hefty amount of cash to pay for fine dining.

    Quick points from the experience: - Dinner Reservations for 7:45PM for a party of 3, wasn't seated until 8:15PM but others that walked in or had 8PM reservations had tables ready for them. I asked why could we not get one of those tables and the response was everyone has to wait. SO DON'T EXPECT THIS PLACE TO TAKE YOUR OPEN TABLE BOOKING SERIOUSLY - I asked for a round of Prosecco on the house while we waited and was told yes but then didn't get it until we sat and asked again for it. - The food was not imaginative, just very basic Italian, almost close to an Olive Garden. - The grilled octopus was good in a nice sauce. - Caprese Salad, nothing creative, the mozzarella was rather hard and didn't seem fresh. - They did have nice free bread - Pasta orecchiette with Sausage and Greens was lacking flavor and seasoning, it was just pasta shells with brocolini and Sausage, I had to salt it up. - With all the options of Italian in Chicago, I am not running back here between the wait for a table and basic food. Rather Sad because I spend weekends in this neighborhood.
