" Charming little Italian restaurant with delicious food! I loved the marinara sauce; it was rich and tangy. I ordered the meatball sub, which was filled with juicy homemade meatballs. Even though the place appears somewhat rundown, it has a comforting feel. However, the service left something to be desired: we waited quite a bit for our food. Nevertheless, I would still recommend it for the food alone. " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we stepped inside, we were treated like family! The owner greeted us and shared stories about the restaurant's history. We ordered a variety of dishes, including eggplant parmesan and manicotti, and everything tasted homemade. You could tell they put their heart into their cooking. The salads are also worth mentioning – fresh and crisp with a delicious house dressing. Portions are great for the price. Really enjoyed our evening! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Campanello's recently after hearing so much about it, and I can say it lives up to the hype! The food was authentic Italian with an incredible balance of flavors. The only downside was that the service was a bit on the slower side, but definitely worth the wait. I loved the cozy atmosphere – it made me feel nostalgic for family dinners. The portions were generous as well, as I ended up taking half my meal home. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes for Campanello's based on the reviews I read, but my experience was rather disappointing. The service was slow, and I felt like I was ignored for too long. I didn't find the food to be as authentic as claimed; my spaghetti tasted like it came from a can. The atmosphere was a bit too cramped for my liking as well. While the prices were reasonable, I wouldn't classify it as exceptional food or experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" Being a fan of Italian cuisine, I was quite eager to try Campanello's, but I was left a bit underwhelmed. Don’t get me wrong, the staff was pleasant and the ambiance charming, however, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations given the rave reviews. The marinara was overly sweet for my taste, and my pasta was slightly overcooked. I did appreciate how the owner interacted with the customers, creating a familiar atmosphere, but in the end, the dish didn’t do it for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" I frequent Campanello's and it never ceases to impress me. The owners are genuinely interested in their guests and come out to check on everyone personally. The veal marsala and chicken parmigiana are dishes that I consistently order - both are beautifully prepared and flavorful. For someone looking for a no-frills, great homestyle meal with generous portions, this is the place to be. Perfect for family dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had the pleasure of dining at Campanello's on multiple occasions, and it's always been a joy. It's the classic mom-and-pop restaurant vibe, and I love it. The pasta fagioli is worth mentioning if you enjoy soups. Portions are large, and a single bowl was enough to fill me up completely! The owners are genuinely kind, always checking on guests to ensure they're satisfied. I look forward to returning for more homemade goodness! " (*Curated Review*)
