My Ballard reader Robert sent us this photo today of a new sign going up in front of Via Verde, the Italian restaurant on Market St. near 17th Ave.
We called the restaurant, and they said new management recently took over the establishment with plans to make some changes. Via Verde is still rather new to the neighborhood, opening in July of last year. (Thanks Robert!)
New management, new look for Via Verde
MMM pizza.. I hope that's what they have :-)
Had lunch here before, it was not bad… nothing fantastic though. Just another typical Italian joint in my opinion…
I'm not a local but looking to travel there soon and will definitely avoid this one! Thanks for the heads-up:)

I think this is a very nice idea.

I've eaten at Via Verde twice and it wasn't that it was bad so much as bland. The green & red logo has to go, it looks more like signage for a gas station than an Italian Restaurant. Unfortunately, that new sign is just as tacky and stripmallish looking. Ballard is turning into Northgate.

I would eat there. I don't see the problem

I went there once and it wasn't terrible so much as, uh, not NOT terrible. The pizza was soggy and pricey. If I am going to spend a ton on pizza Veraci is where I want to spend it.

It's a charming enough sign. New ownership in under a year isn't that uncommon in the restaurant industry, and in this economy even less so. I hope they will do well.

Though I love to eat Italian cuisines, that place looks wrecked, I would rather find some other place to go fill myself.
I think it is a wonderful new addition to the area. Best wishes for your success.
I never went to this restaurant but by looking at the comments here, i doubt it will be a fun experience.. anywayz no biggie.. loads of other places to go :)

A new restaurant and even newer sign. What will this sign change?
Under new management already. From what I'm reading this doesn't seem like the place to eat out.

What they need is a new concept and menu. Some of the reason for turnover could be…drum roll please…ANOTHER Italian restaurant. How many Italian restaurants does one neigborhood need? MYBALLARD lists 15… This one is across the street from Palermo and a couple of blocks from Lombardi's.

I found the food to be extremely bland as well. Not a fan of this restaurant at all. Backlink
New sign and new management haven't changed a thing for this place. The food is still tasteless as ever, and a huge waste of money during this economic downturn. Such a shame, because usually Italian food is the best… but not here. Sad to say :(

I agree with some of posters before me. I was there only once and would never again go near this place. Really bad food..
Italian food is normally good. What so bad about this one?

I don't think the sign looks desperate.. I think a lot of people might miss it if it wasn't placed there.

I love Italian food (and women!) too. I'd give this place a try if I were in the area as it looks OK, apart from the main dangling in front of the place!

I wonder, how is this restaurant going right now? I ever eat on the restaurant once just a month after they opened. And it sucks. I just thinking it's not like a restaurant but a gas station. Well, if it said they had new management, I'll give them another shot, and let see how it taste right now. Btw, why don't you help me by share your opinion about this word, kjkkjk. thanks.
Sounds like they need a visit from Chef Ramsey.
I agree with you Alian….its truly a good read.
Wonderful Article! I have bookmarked this page and I love to share this with my friends and circle of influence.

That italian shop is very nice. I like yellow.
I found this topic really interesting!Keep writing more!!!
Are they still around? Gordon Ramsey should lend a hand.
bad resto, bot good ambience
Really great share. Hope we can see more articles like this
in future also..!!
love Italian. they are opening one in my neighborhood soon.
Hopefully it’s better under new management, if it’s new management taking it over. We had a place near us that changed it’s name something like four times in a year, but had the same management each time. Needless to say the food and ambience didn’t improve, so the whole thing was a bit of a waste of time.
Shame – I know a few places like this. I hate when a good place goes down hill, especially under new management, when you’d think a refresh would be in order!
Very interesting indeed
