Ok so let's talk about La Campagnola.
Obviously it scores major points because it's a BYOW. That's always appreciated when the check arrives.
The food is - as you can clearly tell by the reviews - AMAZING. The ingredients are high quality and fresh, they make a lot of their own recipes, and it shows.
For god's sake even the homemade bread and butter is finger licking good.
I'm a fan of the veal, but tonight it was the mozzarella di bufala that stole the show.
The service is impeccable, and the fact that the waiters are all Italians adds a nice touch of authenticity. The decor is nice, the ambiance pleasant, honestly I would eat there every week.
I didn't give the restaurant 5 stars because I've been twice so far and on neither occasions there was Tiramisu available.
A proper Italian meal has to end with Tiramisu and limoncello, everyone knows that.
Also, the place is always packed and very very loud. It's not bothersome enough that you won't have a fabulous time, but you may not have a voice the next day.
But your belly will be stuffed with incredible amazing deliciousness, so who cares.
Oh! I almost forgot the Canolis. The are very light and airy. Amongst the best in the city.
I will go back every chance I get.
