About Campisi's

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.
