Friday night we decided to give Via Carducci on Division another try. The LP establishment had been a favorite for years when we lived in the 'hood, and their pizza delivery was on speed dial. When we saw the store front go up on Division last summer, we anxiously awaited the opportunity to endulge in a cozy, carb-filled experience. Perhaps we went to soon after it opened, perhaps we loved the original too much. Disappointment was high and nearly unrecoverable. Nearly. After almost a year, and several positive recent reviews, we decided to give it another shot. The food has definitely improved, though some argued still nothing special. I had eggplant parm, the boys had spaghetti bologanse and chicken parm. And we had a nice bottle of wine Stag's Leap. Yet inspite of the improvements, the poor service overwhelmed the experience. I won't bore you with the details but the service was poor. With all the great options in the neighborhood and on Division alone, it doesn't look like we'll be back to VC anytime soon.
