A top notch dining experience. The food is second to none and the atmosphere is wonderful. A beautifully clean and maintained restaurant, with a great bar. A must try is the Chicken Campagnola, which is the most delicious chicken dish I’ve ever had. Rich and busting with flavors in a sauce that you want to savor every bit of. Same with the shrimp and garlic. So delicious and packed with slices of garlic in a sauce. You can’t help but eat the bread bowl it comes in. Tony and Nick are amazing, accommodating and happy to talk and joke which enhances the experience. The only complaint I have is that I’m not able to go more frequently.

Just a gem of an Italian restaurant hidden away. Superb cuisine served by the best of an old school waiters, Antonio who is beyond compare. Amazing menu and will customize any dish you desire. We had the Sole with Amatriciana sauce that tasted of the freshest seafood and lobster ravioli with a Sambuca cream sauce, both stunning. Parking in front makes this an easy pick. Please don't hesitate to experience a fine meal in a 70 year old business that knows what quality is!

thanks for the recommendation of my wife’s boss. We tried out this restaurant and are so happy we did..... Brandon our server ensured that our experience was unforgettable and made a great impression upon both of us. From cocktails to starters to entrees to deser nothing failed to meet our expectations.... all were delicious. Well prepared...well plated and served with friendly attentive service and left us both impressed and stuffed. We look forward to going back but not to make reservations because they fill up quickly and have regulars who reserve the same table time and time again.

My boyfriend and I were looking for a new restaurant to try and stumbled upon La Campagnola. Such a cozy, relaxing, atmosphere where you can enjoy your delicious Italian dinner. Our waiter Antonio went above and beyond; he also made our dining experience much better. He read us every single special with his fantastic memory!! Great man. The Zupa di Pesce was delicious!! As well as the wine selections. I only had the chance of trying a few things, but this restaurant has now become our new spot. I 1000000% recommend trying this place.

I went with my boyfriend to try the Italian food at La Campagnola and we really liked it. We ate well, the waiter was very kind to us and recommended dishes, and the atmosphere was also pleasant. It's a good place to go as a couple and have, like me, a quiet lunch with your boyfriend.

I’m honestly upset that I haven’t visited this place sooner! I had a last-minute need for a venue for my son’s baptism, and when I reached out, Brian, the owner, took care of everything seamlessly. When I went in to drop off my deposit, I ordered some food to go—and wow, I practically licked the plate clean! The quality of the food is only rivaled by the outstanding service from the staff. Brian even recommended a bakery for the cake, and let me tell you, it was incredible! This isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a true hidden gem in our community, and I can’t believe I hadn’t discovered it sooner. Rest assured, I’ll be back regularly, and I’m already thinking about future events I can host here. Brian and his team exceeded every expectation I had, and I can’t thank them enough for making my son’s baptism such a special day. If you haven’t been here yet, you’re seriously missing out!
