Campagnolo is another great spot that opened up recently around the corner from my place. I bought into the right neighbourhood.
I usually start my reviews with the food but, I gotta say, Campagnolo has some really nice service. The servers know what they're serving and like to tell you about it. Everyone is super friendly and they genuinely seem to want you to have a good time.
We sat at the bar first as we waited for a table to open. There is a great cocktail list that's packed with lotsa good stuff. The Lady had something from the list, I ordered a bottle of red.
I keep reading that this is a tapas-style joint but I don't see it as a small plate place. We started with burrata with grapes & toast. Simply delicious!
For mains we had boar, tripe and rib ragu on polenta. This was a perfect cold weather dish, filled with tender meats. I'm not big on the tripe but I'll eat it if it's in front of me. The Lady got a Creuset filled with cannelinni, hock and kale, a really classic flavour combination of pork and beans.
Salted caramel & chocolate for me and a lemon tart for her and we called a wheelbarrow to carry us home.
The only thing I didn't like was the decor, but I seem to be the only one complaining. Every review I've read about Campagnolo raves about it, so what do I care?
