Our bartender/waiter, Chris was wonderful! The limoncello was perfect and the food was delicious with the perfect blend of flavors. The espresso chocolate moose and espresso did not disappoint! We will certainly be back.

Our experience at Campo Enoteca was exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend this gem to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
We decided to go all out, indulging in drinks, appetizers, main courses, and dessert. From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations.
The evening began with warm, homemade bread that set the tone for what was to come. We started with two appetizers—calamari and the house-made ricotta—and both were absolutely delicious, providing the perfect introduction to the meal.
For our main courses, we sampled a variety of dishes, including several homemade pastas (Roman Carbonara and beef Osso Bucco), fish (Branzino), and chicken (Chicken Parmesan). Each dish was expertly prepared, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The portions were generous, leaving us with plenty of leftovers to enjoy later.
Dessert was the grand finale—a classic tiramisu that was just as delightful as it was visually stunning.
The service was every bit as impressive as the food, if not better. Our server, Kelly, went above and beyond to ensure our night was unforgettable. She was warm, attentive, and incredibly thoughtful, checking in frequently without being intrusive. To top it all off, she surprised us with a candle in our tiramisu to celebrate a birthday, adding a personal and heartfelt touch to an already wonderful evening.
Campo Enoteca offers not just a meal but an experience. We can't wait to return!

My sister and I planned a night out for our 3rd sister's 40th! We don't get to dine fine often, and we are all friendly and have been in the service industry, so we always want to be super kind and easy, please note! Our waitress was NOT pleasant, seemed to not want to be there or see our faces. Didn't check in about our unfortunate and quite frankly disgusting cocktails. The meals are extremely overpriced for the quality. Piccata dish sauce was too extreme with the sour, pasta itself was good, but I couldn't even finish my meal and was very hungry, it was like they just poured a bunch of lemon juice and white wine last minute with no care. Butternut squash ravioli was good, atmosphere was nice, but definitely rushed. I put on the notes it was my sister's birthday....nothing done, but I do believe this seems to be the norm these days. It's just a real let down for a birthday dinner and when you don't go out much and spending a lot of $ too? I'd say the service was the most discouraging.....

Campo is one of our favorite spots in downtown. It’s a cute little Italian spot right on Elm St. My wife and I usually sit at the bar because we love the energy of being in the mix, and we always seem to meet the most interesting people at Campo. There are also tables in the front and in the back if you’re looking for a more private dinner experience. We love the freshness of their farm to table style of cooking, and some of our favorites are the Osso Bucco and the Fried Eggplant. Oh… and the bread and olive oil they serve is magnificent. The staff has always been friendly and attentive, even when they have a packed house, and the Manager Erin is a sweetheart. Highly recommended!
Appetizers were phenomenal. But main entrees were terrible. Pasta was over cooked, chicken in chicken Parm was dry and over cooked and even tho I didn't touch more than 2 bites the server didn't ask at any point of food was ok- you'd think it a customer isn't eating then it's a clear indication they're unhappy. My mom's ravioli was inconsistent- most pieces were so tough and tasteless she didn't want to eat it but since server never came to ask us if we were ok, if food was ok she finally gave up and ate it. The wine selection is horrible - $15 for a glass from a $6.99 bottle? Yeah we won't be going back there. Unfortunately we got this place confused with the 2 phenomenal Italian restaurants closer to the Verizon center. Mangia and piccolo.
I'll be reaching out to the manager to express how disappointed we were not just with our meals but that our server seemed to treat us like we were annoying her and a burden to have to take our orders, ask to see the wine selection again after expressing how terribly disappointed we were with the first glass we got, and she absolutely did not do anything to make us feel welcomed or attempt to make sure we were satisfied with our wine meals and experience.
My advice would be save your money because this Italian food is on the same level as olive garden but at least there you get pleasant kind servers. Save your money and trust me when I say you'll get a meal 100, better a few doors down for maybe $20 more for a total of 3 people.

Holy smokes!!!! This place is amazing. A small, quant Italian restaurant, with amazing food and service. This is the gem of Manchester. Home made pasta, delicious sauces, authentic Italian dishes, all sourced locally. The house made ricotta, sourdough appetizer is out of this world and is a must every time. The drinks are outstanding, try the off menu spicy lemon martini, a concoction of the limoncello martini with the cayenne mix is sure to please. The specials are constantly updated creating a surprise ant every visit. Owners, Erin and Eric, will make your dining experience come to life. They are amazing people who care about every aspect of your visit and provide that “welcome-home” personal touch other restaurants miss. This personal touch transcends throughout the entire staff again making the visit memorable. Remember to leave room for the amazing desserts. The chocolate mousse is heavenly, and the five, yes, five layer cakes are a sight to behold.
Just dinner with friends - ended up spending most of the evening here. Food was excellent, we shared starters. Bread was fresh, real nice. Mains were great, we shared dessert - tiramisu with coffee. Keep in mind they may run out of some dishes later in the evening, no issue for us. Will be back.

My parents and I dined here after a long day, and it was INCREDIBLE. The staff were exceptionally kind, offering thoughtful menu recommendations and even bringing over samples of dishes we hadn’t ordered. We started with some seasonal cocktails, each ingredient clearly chosen with care.
For dinner, we enjoyed the lasagna, piccata, and butternut squash ravioli. The house-made pasta was a highlight with its remarkable quality and flavor. We also savored their light, airy homemade sourdough, which was a perfect complement to our meal.
For dessert, we couldn’t resist trying the apple cider donut cake and the pumpkin spice cake. Both were heavenly, with portions that generously satisfied our cravings.
I would highly recommend this restaurant. It’s conveniently located in the heart of downtown, tucked away in a cozy nook on Elm Street, making it a perfect spot for an exceptional dining experience.

Good selections here, food was good, maybe a little pricey. Looks like they had some nice cocktails, I opted for the spicy lemonade and was pleased. The osso bucco was very good. Aroncini were small on the plate but tasty. All in all, pretty decent dining experience.

I have been to this restaurant 4 times in 2 months, trying something new every time. I have yet to have something I didn’t make inappropriate moaning sounds while eating! This is the most amazing food! The atmosphere is upscale casual, prices are very affordable, and the staff and owners are the absolute best! My waistband may rue the day I walked into this hidden gem, but my stomach is in a torrid love affair with their ricotta! Trust me, you need this in your life!
What a beautiful place! The food was really well done. We came for lunch and the manager/cook even stopped over at our table to hear how the food was. He took the time to explain to us the importance of cooking with fresh and locally sourced ingredients. We will definitely be returning!

Have been wanting to try this place out for years now and finally got the chance, unfortunately it was EXTREMELY disappointing. As someone that absolutely loves dining out for Italian and has been to countless places all over New England, this place had hands down the WORST Italian food I’ve ever had in my life. Each dish got progressively worse throughout our dining experience and certainly will not be back.

I was excited to try this restaurant as they have great reviews for a local Italian place. I’ve tasted Italian food all over the north end in Boston, all over the country, and even in Italy so I have some credentials to critique an Italian place in Manchester, NH. Little did I know they had a change in ownership and apparently the quality has declined since, according to other reviews. I was first impressed with the fresh squeezed lemonade, not many restaurants do that. However when the calamari came out, my first impression was that it looked dark/burned, granted it was dark inside the restaurant. My first bite confirmed my suspicion, it was burned and overcooked. Not only that but you could taste everything that had been fried in the oil and the oil has not been changed in a long time. The only reason I was able to eat it was because the marinara sauce masked the burned flavor. I was starving and really hate wasting food. The only saving grace was the sourdough bread and oil that came out with the calamari. At this point I was skeptical about my dinner. I ordered the vegetarian polpetti with mushroom cream sauce. First of all, just take the vegetarian polpetti off the menu, don’t even offer or serve it because it’s embarrassing that they would even be proud to serve it. The polpetti were hard as rocks and I had to choke it down still in disbelief. I had the mushroom cream sauce but all I got was an oily dish with 4 slices of mushroom and no flavor. I tried to add flavor with Parmesan cheese but nothing could have saved the dish at this point. The buccatini was definitely not homemade. Al dente is what I’m used to getting at quality Italian restaurants but this was pasta that was precooked and tossed in way too much oil with no flavor whatsoever. Took most of my pasta dish home and it went straight into the trash. Safe to say I will never be back.
