| - For a nice weekday dinner, I decided to join some of my fellow yelpers who were heading over to Campagnolo. Campagnolo is a small Italian restaurant that opened up quiet recently and the reviews have been pouring in of great food in a little cozy setting. The decor right away when you walk in is warm and friendly, but at the same time elegant in its own way.
We had a table for 6 and ordered drinks once most of us has arrived. I ended up going for a light beer/lager called Castello. The waiter said it's a popular choice, so why not right? The lager was alright, nothing special to be honest in my opinion. But the menu looked incredibly tempting and we decided to order and share so we can all taste as many items as possible. If you're heading over, this might be a very good idea as the menu is a little on the expensive side. And the ingredients they use are a little different, so you would want to try as many dishes as possible.
There are a fair number of dishes we ordered and a few of them stood out for me. For the appetizers, I liked the Fresh Burrata Cheese and Roasted Grapes with Toasted Bread. Sounds simply, but it tasted great. Also, I'm starting to see more and more dishes where grapes are getting involved; can this be a little trend? Nonetheless, it was a good choice. For the mains, I liked the Monkfish which was deep fried. I know I'm horrible, deep fried Brian? But the taste was good. The Pappardelle with peas and lemon was for me a surprise but definitely welcomed. It was a great little dish. And last, I'm a little mixed... see I liked the Sea Bream as I think that was cooked well and all the ingredients worked. But I too liked the Wild Boar. The reason I'm mixed is... if you're that type of eater that wants to try something new and different, then I would say go for the Sea Bream. If you're not of that variety, then the Wild Boar would be a familiar taste that you may expect more. And who doesn't like something that's familiar right?
Overall, I would have to say I did like Campagnolo. But for me, it's a little too expensive for my regular preference. The food is cooked well but in terms of portions size, the dishes are small. So my recommendation might be to go to Campagnolo for their cocktails as they have a great list. And maybe order a dish or two to nibble on while enjoying the atmosphere. It's nice and cozy and a good place to unwind with your date over drinks.
