Food is amazing! My favorite pasta platter with a mix of all my favorites. The steak was so tender you can cut it with a fork. My daughter ate it up!

Old school Italian, one of the best in the UES! Extensive and expensive menu, with plenty of specials. Never had a bad meal! Don’t let the maitre select for you, or you will end up paying 40percent more than the menu price!!

Just a great old NYC restaurant with amazing everything. Best seafood pasta ever. Same with the veal chop and the Napoleon dessert. Staff was super sweet. The piano player played September Song over and over again, it was kind of cute. High spirited, happy place. Definitely going back!

Old school Italian with great food, but it's very pricey, particularly the wine. I was surprised when they brought out complementary antipasto along with bread. This was a nice touch. The pastas that we ordered were all delicious. The appetizers were okay, but not anything amazing. The main courses were solid. I think that this is definitely the best Italian restaurant in the area, but you pay for the privilege. It's a place for special occasions.

I started with the buffalo mozz salad with onions, tomatoes and peppers. It was good. The mozz was good, the tomatoes were good too. Then I had the spaghetti bolognese. This was very mediocre and the weak part of the meal. The pasta was undercooked and I don’t mean al dente. That’s okay but the sauce itself was bland and basic. I was close to putting salt on it. I wouldnt order that dish again. Then I had the chicken parm alla vodka that wasnt on the menu but they made it for me. It was outstanding. Their chicken cutlet tastes great, the sauce is great, the mozz is broiled nicely and bubbly and brown. So yes their chicken parm alla vodka was worth having again. Overall it was good. Glad to try a different place than what I am used to. Thanks for a nice meal!

We really wanted to love this place but it just didn’t quite hit the mark for us. I had the pasta Puttanesca, the pasta itself was cooked perfectly but the anchovy flavor was way too overpowering and the sauce tasted super salty. My husband had the Ossobuco which unfortunately wasn’t much better. The meat didn’t taste very fresh and the quality wasn’t what we expected. That said, the vibe was great and the service was friendly and attentive. We appreciated the experience overall but the food just didn’t live up to the hype.

My boyfriend made a reservation and took me here for my birthday dinner. While the food tasted good and came out in a timely manner, we left feeling confused and disappointed by our experience. The staff was quite pushy, bluntly interrupted us on repeated occasions, and were quite unfriendly the entire time. We also were not asked if we wanted to see a dessert menu, and instead had to ask ourselves, which was met with a rather annoyed response from our waiter who verbally sped through the items. Left a sour experience for what was supposed to be a nice birthday. Especially disappointed considering we recently moved to the neighborhood from Philadelphia and we were looking for an Italian restaurant to become our local spot for important events.

We came to Campagnola on a recommendation to celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday, and it was terrible. This was one of the worst restaurant service experiences I’ve had. We were not seated until 30 minutes after we had arrived, which meant that it was 20 minutes after the time of our reservation. We were never updated during the long wait by the hostess or a person who appeared to be a manager on the floor. Shockingly, there was no acknowledgement of nor apology for the long wait when we were finally led to a table. At the table, the poor service continued. We were a party of 2, but only 1 of us have a full place setting. The water asked for our drink orders…but did not provide a drink menu; I had to ask for one. My partner had to ask for his drink twice as no one bothered to bring it. Although the dinner menu clearly states that there are specials, we were not told about any of them. I had to ask about them when we were ordering our mains and the server acted like it was an inconvenience to provide them. Our server only vaguely paid attention to our table for the rest of the evening. The food couldn’t save the experience because it was only ok. We ordered a veal chop and a steak. The steak, though cooked to the right temp, was tough and somehow tasted dry. And the cherry on top is silly, but it matters because high quality restaurants routinely get things like this right. He didn’t get a candle on his dessert like every other person who had a birthday in the restaurant. So we sat and listened to someone else be sang happy birthday by the live performer with their candle and we had nothing but a lackluster experience a mediocre food.

Felt like Chinese restaurant where you’re finished in 45 minutes. They wanted us to order asap and get out asap presumably so they could turn the table. Food was extremely pricey and ultra average. Main arrived cold. No apologies just took back and reheated. At the end when I politely told manager that I felt rushed, he looked as if he couldn’t care less and said… sorry to hear that. That’s it. Quick average dinner for $300. For 2 people. No more!

Servers were very rude to us the entire time. We asked for a pasta recommendation and was recommended the arrabbiata. However, they served us a beef carpaccio. When we brought this to their attention, they insisted that we were wrong, didn’t know what we had ordered, and refused to make things right. So we were stuck with a beef carpaccio we did not want and no pasta. After this happened, the servers tried to rush us and get us out of the restaurant. One of the worst restaurant experiences I’ve had in the city.

We made a reservation well in advance to celebrate my birthday. We arrived on time to the restaurant and 30 mins after the actual reservation time, they still had not been able to seat us. When we asked the hostess, who was very rude, she said it would be probably another 15 mins. We ended up leaving because what is the point of making a reservation if it’s not gonna be honored?

Do not go here if you are with a group of young women. They will just order for you and walk away before you can even say no and then stick you with an extensive bill. Everything we got was phrased as “you are getting XXX.” Had a menu for less than 5 minutes. My friends and I wanted a pasta dish and a steak. They gave us the most expensive steak on the menu, and two sides we didn’t want. Not asking us once if we wanted the item. Did not see the man ordering for us again after he said we’re getting the steak. Do not recommend.
