Decided to try Camillo for our anniversary dinner as it looked like a nice option in the neighborhood. The decor is industrial chic and tasteful. Servers were attentive as it was a weekday night and not super busy, and took our orders rightaway. The antipasti (salad) came out rightaway and was great - loved the flavors and texture; however we were left waiting an hour after ordering for two pastas. Two servers apologized for the wait (without us asking, because we were sitting at an empty table) before the food finally came out. Both the carbonara and lasagna were well made, but we were a little let down that the lasagna had only bechamel sauce and no tomato sauce, and tasted bland/too lightly seasoned as a result. Probably should have paid a bit more attention to the menu which noted tomatoes but not sauce :)
Unfortunately the wait pretty much ruined our experience that day. We decided against ordering dessert and headed home instead. Might try again in the future and explore their pizzas and other pastas.

This place is really cozy! I loved the atmosphere and the staff was very attentive and friendly. I was THRILLED to see gluten free options on the menu, especially in this neighborhood. The gluten free pasta was really salty for my likes (as has been mentioned on other comments) but I took my leftovers home to have with a bright side salad. The gelato was out of this world. I will definitely be back and will bring more folks with me!

This Italian restaurant was a great surprise. The pizza was very good, and the lasagna was excellent. They were able to seat our large party with no reservation, which was very appreciated. The service was helpful, and the tiramisu was also very good. The food, service, and overall experience were impressive, and I highly recommend trying this place.
Long story short about the score: The food was fine, but the bartender (that was also our server) didn’t have a great attitude.
Now, details.
The Prosciutto and Pecorino was everything you need and more. The bread was super fresh and soft and the honeyed almonds were addictive.
I got the Pappardelle oxtail and my friend got the Pollo Arrosto. Both were solid meals, but we added a pinch of salt to both, and I’m not mad about that, better to have the option to spice it up a bit.
The main issue with the host was that he had some not-so-friendly attitude throughout the night, but the straw that broke the camel’s back was that when it was time to pay, we asked to split the bill, and he threw a mini tantrum about how it would be so much easier for us to pay each other, and that they have to pay “more fees” for processing more transactions, and on top of that, he said that he was “wasting his time” by having to have each of us pay.
I have been a server, and I understand that charging only one card is easier, of course, but it wasn’t like he was very busy; it was a quiet Tuesday night.
I was happy to have tried this place after, but I’m not sure I would be coming back after this experience.
Besides that, a final note was that the restaurant itself was very charming!

We had a group dinner of 12 people on October 9. The food was amazing along with the service. We organized a family style menu ahead of time and it was perfect and everyone loved Camilo!
My favorite Italian spot in the area. Make sure to order the Carciofi!

I love this restaurant! The people working there are very kind, the Negronis are incredible and the food is such an experience. You must visit this restaurant. My favorite choices are the Plum Negroni and the Oxtail pasta.

Pasta was fresh and delicious but I thought the sauce lacked depth and flavor.
Usually, I have lovely experiences at Camillo. Tonight, not so much. I entered the restaurant at open and there was one other party there. The restaurant completely empty outside of myself and the other table. I sat at a two seater but moved to a four seater to accommodate all of my bags and give me room for what I planned to order. One of the servers comes over & says that I am not allowed to sit there and that the table is reserved. I returned to the 2 seater and sat there for two hours. Not a single party came for the table. Nor did a party of 4 come in at all for the whole time I was there. Sad that something so minor couldn't be accommodated.

Camillo is a very bright spot in a neighborhood in transition and a solid Go-To for my wife and me. The pizza is greasy and they have GF crust available! The Tagliata (aka; sirloin steak) served with mashed potatoes and arugula salad, is the best in the wider area. Philipe, and his colleagues behind the bar, serve delicious cocktails and conversation and greet you by name when you walk through the door. I love this place and think you will too

Went here for a nicely budgeted dinner. We didn't have a reservation but they had a table for us. We had the chicken pate appetizer, the Coda alla Vaccinara and the Pollo Arrosto. All of it was good. Service was good. We'd go back. Great little neighborhood spot.

Ordered the oxtail antipasta and napoletana pizza, and I enjoyed it for the price. This is one of the best you can get for the price and quality. Would recommend for the great service and food!
3.5/5, first impressions.
