| - Campo is that great local spot that has managed (for good or bad) to fly under the radar. The reason for this is likely due to its obscure location between Bloor and Annette Streets on Jane.
If you have never been here, you should. Main entrees are priced in the 19-29$ range; appetizers are in the 8-15$ range.
The menu is small. It features a couple of very delicious salads, a chicken-liver spread that is very good, and basically a chicken dish, lamb gnocchi, strip loin, and a fish dish. My table enjoyed the strip loin and the gnocchi. They were superb.
The restaurant is small, so reservations are probably needed on weekends. They do have bar and table seating with a couple of draught beers and an ample wine selection.
The only real miss here is the service. It is basically good, though somewhat frantic. While this can be overlooked, they miss opportunities to do things like offer to take your coat, offer fresh pepper or Parmesan at your table, automatically bring bread/water, or introduce you to the chef/owner in hopes of building a "we'll be back regularly" kind of clientele. They are small enough to make everyone feel like a very special guest, yet come up just a bit short in this regard.
