New management, new look for Via Verde

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!)

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
