   This was our first time at Campanella and it did not disappoint! We dined with friends who were also first timers. Everything we ordered from fresh salads to Nonna's meatballs, four cheese ravioli (amazing sauce!) , eggplant parm and the delectable desserts were all absolutely delicious. Servers were super friendly, professional and extremely attentive. Drink were also excellent and the vibe was cozy and fun. All in all, an A+ and, yes, we will be back! Thanks Campanella staff. You guys rock!

   Great takes on classic and contemporary Italian dishes; a changing spritz menu. Restaurant is cozy and noisy; not the place for a quiet intimate dinner ( but what really good Italian restaurant is?)❤️

   Relatively small menu but food is well prepared. Service is excellent. Nice subdued interior atmosphere in dining room. Good far. Overall would definitely recommend.

   As someone with an Italian grandmother from New York this experience fit like a key in a lock. The Eggplant Parm was fantastic (I had two), and the Chicken Parm Pizza was a fun and delicious twist on something my grandmother used to send me home with a hotel pan of. I found the cost to be completely reasonable for the portions and quality, and very much enjoyed the apertife highball I had after dinner. The staff had attention to detail. It was all in all an excellent and nostalgic meal in a great atmosphere with top notch service. I’ll be back many times, five stars.

   Had an incredible experience at Campanella. The food and service were phenomenal. Started our meal with a bunch of the small plates, I HIGHLY recommend the Meatballs. They were terrific. The ravioli, Egg plant parm and gnocchi were also tremendous. The pizza came out fast and hot and my eyes May have been bigger than my stomach, so we had to take a few slices homes. The staff was lovely, attentive and kind and you can tell the owners put a lot of care into the design. Perfect family spot and my new go-to. This was a perfect spot for us and reminded me of the New York Italian spots I grew up with back east. 10/10. Coming back here often.

   The food was amazing. I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and it was so delicious. I had a coffee and it was so smooth and tasty with my meal. Had the garlic knots and well as the meatballs. Everything was delicious and served in a timely manner. Can’t wait to go back.

   We decided to try Campanella the day after Thanksgiving. Because it was cold, we opted for an inside table, however, they left the door to the patio wide open, so it was super drafty at our booth table. It seems that seen outside under the heaters might’ve been a better choice. All the food came very promptly, but it all got cold super fast due to the drafty conditions. I asked if they could close the door, but they said they needed to leave the sliding glass door open so service could go in and out easily. Of the starters we ordered, including the garlic knots, the butter beans, and the House salad, I would only ever order  the Butterbean again. The garlic knots were under proofed and over garliced with raw garlic. The house salad, while delicious, was incredibly small for the $19 price tag. In fact, all the portions were exceedingly underwhelming. For our entrées, we ordered a classic pepperoni pizza, the local rockfish, and the clams in linguine. None of them were particularly delicious, but very proudly priced. The pizza was described by one of our dinner guests, as reminiscent of his school cafeteria pizzas due to the doughiness of the crust and the blandness of the sauce. The rockfish tasted like it had been previously frozen and was not a particularly good quality. The linguine seemed to have been broken into tiny pieces and was a disappointing portion size.  Please ignore typos and grammatical mistakes as I am dictating this on my telephone
