Best Organic Food Restaurants in Bucktown / Wicker Park

Due to a glut of options, there are few places in Chicago that spark the “when are we coming back?” conversation before the main course is finished. This is one of those places. The dishes were comfortable yet complex, making you realize, there’s a talent-level in the kitchen that makes them impossible to replicate. Each bite from first course through dessert was exceptional, which is a feat considering we were last seating on a Tuesday night. What made the experience was the service. Lauren S. was welcoming and informative without being pushy. She deftly answered all of our questions that felt like she was guiding us through the menu based on her expertise not her opinion. This included steering us away from certain dishes when she understood our flavor profiles, and explaining things without ruining the surprise. Her attention to little things without feeling crowded made us realize what front of house talent does to heighten the experience. The only knock was the nitty-picky things on the space. The bathroom was a bit disheveled, there was a crud on the handle of a fork (nothing on the tongs, I checked before using it). Extremely minor unless you’re judging for Micheline stars. Simply put, where it matters everything is well thought out from concept to execution. If you can get in, it’s an absolute no-brainer.

Loved the sunshine pouring through the ceiling! It is such a fabulous vibe! Food & service were terrific! Definitely going back!

Everything was lovely. The portions were rather small (even the big plates) but that allowed us to order more dishes and try more things. The risotto was perfect!

Honestly, one of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. The mushroom omelette was absolute perfection! And I do mean- perfect!! The service, the vibe, all of it - outstanding!!

We always enjoy our dinners at Via Carducci... The staff are great and the food is good!
