| - I have only been to Campagnolo twice in the last few years but both experiences have been seriously dreamy. Birthday celebrations both, I feel confident recommending this place for special occasions in particular. The food and service have been consistently high level without pretension, and basically just: yum.
Most recently I visited with a group of nine. Booking in for the Chef's Table experience was a treat and made the whole night super seamless. Recommended for groups over six, they check in on dietary restrictions once everyone's seated, and have no issue modifying many of the dished to be vegetarian. Can't speak to vegan but I think at least a few things could be modified in that direction as well.
Everything came out delicious and I'm having a hard time saying which was best. Was it the burrata with roasted grapes? Was it the radicchio salad with creamy garlic dressing? Was it the corn cappelletti with chanterelles and hazelnut? Was it the perennial classic spaghetti all-Amatricana? I think the winner might be the vegetarian-modified Pork Copa. While half our party included the pork in theirs, half of us marvelled at how "meaty" the dish tasted sans meat. Slow roasted parsnip melon and chestnut, when consumed together, somehow accomplish all the rich, juicy, earthy, umami goodness I could need or want. Would go back just for this any day.
Top the night off with great people, many bottles of great wine, and the perfect little bite-size dessert with a candle for the birthday babe, and you've got a night for the books.
