If someone were to ask me what my top 5 picks in the city were for a good night out Campagnolo would certainly be on it for some crazy good drinks, delicious food, great setting and friendly staff. You can dress up or settle for something less fancy and still be able to fit in with the ambiance here. If only they made it easy on us to make reservations and have better hours this would be a 5 star review.
To be fair, I've had some food items miss the mark on my expectations but I think that's more on me for having too high expectations off of them.
For me their drinks are what sets is above most other restaurants of this standard as they feature interesting ingredients that blend superbly to make some strong but delicious drinks. Meals here are best experienced if you are willing to splurge a bit especially sampling a few of their starter options, but if you want to keep it below $40 it's still easy to do so and fit in a good meal. I came in here for the first time as part of a CMYE where us Yelpers split a lot of their menu items giving us the chance to try a bit of everything. It was here that I learned that roast wild boar tasted a lot like roast beef, but still delicious.
They pride themselves on having home cooked fare and I say they should very well be tooting their own horn when it comes to their menu which has frequent enough changes while holding on to some items which I'm always glad remain on there.
I would highly suggest making reservations as they are closed on Monday and Tuesday so if you want Wednesday dinner, calling on Monday or Tuesday (or during their off hours) will not yield results until the last minute, but I see now they have incorporated an online reservation system, so hopefully that process is more streamlined.
It's off the beaten path a bit compared to the usual strips that boast good times, but it's well worth the visit here and you will not be disappointed.
(For the sake of the October review challenge: 1/15)
