Lived here for 26 years and had never been - first visit and was wondering why I hadn't! Small menu, everything we had was done to perfection, from short rib to sticky toffee date cake. Staff was super friendly and a perfect spot for Friday night dinner.

We had one of the best Italian food we ever had. Campagnola is excellent! Everything we ate was really amazing, full of textures and flavors. Our server was very knowledgeable and polite. Can't believe we found this place such a wonderful little Italian restaurant, not much to look at outside but the food is delicious. The short ribs were tender and the polenta was soft and tasty. Good food and pro service. I would recommend this place and eat here again.

Excellent place. We celebrated my father's 90th birthday dinner and they made the setting very memorable and pleasant. Even the other restaurant guests were very kind. My dad left feeling like a king. Just a great place for those special moments in life. Oh, the food was top notch too!

Great food and ambiance. Good spot for a date night, special occasion, or just wanting a very good meal. I have been twice and both times it has been packed but I have received good service. The octopus is very good as well as the duck, and the bread pudding is incredible. I highly recommend.

All I will say is this. It’s what I said to the man running the bar. “It took a while to get a reservation here. Thank you for having us.” We will be returning there again. Amazing everything. Definitely checks the big 3 with 5 stars each.

Since we were heading to a concert at Pick- Staiger Hall, we wanted to grab dinner close by. Seeing that Campagnola was only a few mins away we decided to try the place out. The restaurant has dim lighting and seating was maybe about 15 tables. We went right when it opened and before long the place was packed. Our waitress was the best! Super friendly and gave great recommendations. The food was SUPERB! Everything was delicious. For an appetizer, we ordered the Diver Scallops. The scallops were big, fresh, and cooked perfectly. For our main dish, I ordered the Linguine Diavolo and my husband ordered the Short Ribs. Both were so good. The Short Ribs were tender and the seafood in the pasta was plentiful and fresh. After a great meal, we decided to end the evening with dessert. We ordered Sticky Toffee Date Cake. My husband was very skeptical about it but once he took the first bite, he couldn't stop. The cake was moist and not overly sweet. Everything we ordered was soooo good! If we were ever in the area again, we would definitely be back!

Truly a wonderful experience!!Generous portions when you order food for the table and share it. Incredibly delish duck and octopus for appetizer. Best service ?

I went here because of the building. Architecturally a beautiful building. I think that's why I added the 4th star. It's good. Decent food, very good service. Just an ok experience overall. We'll return though.

Food was very good! Had options for vegetarians and otherwise. Bartender wasn't great, don't recommend any mixed drinks. Ambiance was nice but location is not ADA friendly.

Nadine S.

Food was excellent. The scallops were divine. Fish and steak and dessert were all great. Can't fault anything. service was good. Seated fairly quickly. Definitely a gem

Best restaurant in town. Never disappoints. Not sure why they even care about reviews since they've been around for so long and people keep going back. Only wish I lived closer so I could waddle my way over a few times a week.
