Campisi's Reviews
We thought the food was very bland. I didn't taste garlic in any of the pasta's. Not even the Garlic toasts I ordered. Also the salad was wilted. We were not going to say anything but the guy taking names to put on the list asked us to rate the food so we told him what we thought. He suggested that we speak to the manager but our concert at The Majestic was close to starting. I expected food to be way better than it was.
I ordered the penne pasta with meat sauce and provolone cheese top. I received cold spaghetti and lasagna noodles with meatballs and ricotta cheese in a red sauce I called to notify them off the mistake and they wanted me to bring the food back. I am at work and cannot leave my desk. I explained to Maria I believe her name is that I couldn't come back because my lunch break is over, she told me to take a picture and and as I was asking her for the number, she said I know I gave...read full review

Campisi's is a beloved Italian restaurant with a cozy atmosphere that some say resembles New York ambiance. The low lighting makes it perfect for a romantic dinner date. The menu offers a variety of delicious dishes, including the famous spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce. The restaurant has a rich history, being the first pizzeria in Texas and the first Italian restaurant in the state. Over the years, it has welcomed famous guests like the Rat Pack, mobsters, Cowboys players, and even past presidents. The attentive staff, like the outstanding server Elizabeth, ensures a pleasant dining experience. The menu features a pasta combo with meat sauce, a flavorful sirloin strip, and mouth-watering pizza. The chef is known for making special pizzas without sauce and adding fresh tomatoes on veggie pizzas, which guests find mouth wateringly delicious. Despite limited parking, the food and service make it a worthwhile visit for a date night, family outing, or gathering with friends. The atmosphere can be crowded and loud, but that adds to its lively charm. The marinara sauce is highly praised, and the restaurant’s decades-old patina gives it a unique character that cannot be duplicated. The drinks are stout, and waiters often share interesting historical tidbits. Many guests mention that the crab claws, pizza, and lasagna are fantastic, and all the food is great! A typical bill for two, including wine, soft drinks, and various dishes, is a little over $100. Many guests note that the service is excellent and that it remains a favorite spot for Italian food since the 70s. Visitors also feel a nostalgic East Coast vibe and believe the place’s impression will last forever.
