I had the chicken parm and it was just ok. Sauce was nothing special and it was overpriced. My girlfriend got the swordfish, it was way overcooked and had to be sent back. read more

Excellent food! Have never had a bad meal. Never an issue with my dairy allergic child getting food. Attentive staff

When I want a good chicken piccata this is my go to place. The service is always terrific. My husband orders different things. Last night it was chicken Gorgonzola and he reported it was delicious. As was his previous dishes. read more

Just got home....should have stayed here. We haven't been to Campanele's for a long time....and it will be much longer if we ever return. The Sauce described with the Saltimboca and the Marsala sounded pretty good - both served with Penne Pasta. It was disappointing to see the dishes arrive and the Penne Pasta served on the side in a Tomato Sauce..... Not at all what we expected. The 'Service' matched the food. Should have went to Gennaro's in Quincy......much better eats. read more

We eat here on occasion. The food is always satisfying with very generous portions. The restaurant is reasonably priced. We ate in the bar recently and my husband tried the Sicilian pizza and it's the best pizza he's ever had. The help is pleasant and not overbearing. If you want something different, they will try to accomodate you. Nice night out. lynne read more

A friend & I went there for a late lunch. It's definitely better than it ever was. (Hadn't been there in years) Service was excellent. Food was so delicious. I have gotten used to dwindling portion sizes at many restaurants as well as escalating prices. There was plenty of choices on the menu and everything we had from appetizer to dessert could not have been better. And we both brought home lots of food for later. If I could rate it six stars, I would. Be advised parking is a problem. The waiter said to equate it to finding a space in Southie. Since we were there for lunch we had no problem. read more

Great food. But worst service I have ever had!!!! There was one waitress for the whole place. She was so rude and nasty. Never came back to see how we are doing or if we needed anything else. read more

Good italian restaurant. Great menu, good food. Nothing too fancy. Its definitely worth checking out if in the area. Update: Went there again recently. Knocking down a star. I would down a star and a half if i could. The food is pretty good but the service is slow as sh*t. Plus , unless you have a groupon or coupon, it's quite overpriced. read more

Food was expensive and only fair! I had the veal parm - wasn't great and for $18.00 I expected better. I was so disappointed I only ate half and didn't want to take the rest home. My wife had a $9.95 special, sausage with penne, that contained large pieces of barely cooked onion and green pepper. The mushrooms were apparently canned. The waitstaff was very good and the dining room clean and pleasant, but don't order the garlic bread unless you like tomatoes and cucumbers (surprise!) on top. I'm Italian and know what Italian food should taste like. This isn't it. DO NOT RECOMMEND !! read more

Wonderful food and fantastic service! The gluten free selection is the best that I've seen at any Italian restaurant. The portions are of a decent size so be prepared to not have room for their tasty desserts... Which they will package for take-away for you. read more

Went for my birthday with my Italian-side relatives, especially Mamma Mia, the feel is VERY Italian, enjoyed the atmosphere and chatting with the owners, my Mom finished her entire pasta dish, which was HUGE, and which she never does (and she is tiny), and she still raves about it (her mom, my grandmother, used to make her own pasta and every thing else, so Mom is a snob about Italian food, and wants to go back!). Also had excellent live music in the bar section, guitar player/singer. VERY ENJOYABLE EVENING!! read more

One of my favorite restaurants for Italian food! The staff and the owners are amazing people! Friendly greetings and wonderful service every time I visit, my family loves it there as well. The food is always fresh and delicious, highly recommend Campanale's restaurant. read more

So... bottom line.. this is a nice family owned restaurant. The web is certainly the wild wild west and people can post what they want... but I certainly don't believe some of these reviews. Anyhoo...I have had the chicken parm... and the veal... they both rock. The food came out quick... and the staff was checking on us every few minutes... just an overall good experience. I recommend those reading this to go support this family owned restaurant. Really good people with great food. On a side note... did somebody really recommend a chain restaurant in this post? boooo..... read more

I don't usually write reviews unless the experience is extremely bad or supa amazing! This was definitely not amazing! Like others, we too went in cuz we had a Living Social deal. The deal's expiration was on Sunday and since we waited too long to use the deal and did not know they were closed on Sundays, we called them and asked if we could use the deal next day. They refused and though many other places take a day into consideration, I can't blame Campanale for my mistake. So we went in to use the $15 we paid for the deal. The frustration began with parking (of course!). Since we couldn't find a spot, I thought i'll ask the staff if there is some other place we could park. I stood there for 8 good minutes. Waitresses passed by but none cared to have a minute to see i exist! I went back thinking we'd figure out the parking on our own. When we returned after parking, we waited another 10 minutes and then were seated by an elderly lady who I believe was the owner. Though our pizza was okay the service was lame! Wait..wait n wait...! By the end of our meal I was so frustrated that I did NOT tip the rude, lazy waitress cuz she did not deserve it! (I usually pay tips in $5 or $10 bills cuz i understand they work all day long and deserve it). To top it all, the audacious waitress follows us out to tell us that we did not tip her and forgot our Quarter. I wanted to shout "Lady, Tip is a gift or a sum of money tendered for a service performed or anticipated. Using what lens would you tip someone like yourself??!" But I dint wanna create a scene and so we just left! read more

My wife and I have been coming here a couple times a year off and on for 10 -15 years? I have got to agree with the others that it now seems to be a hit or miss on the meals. I do remember for a long time the meals and service were great. Not so much now. The decor is old and tired, and if you saw the place in daylight you would realize how much it needs to be cleaned. If the owners read this review, please take this as constructive criticism. You did have a Fantastic restaurant. Please bring it back to it's glory days read more

Very nice restaurant. I had the chicken Parmesan with Ziti. Nice piece of chicken done perfectly. My husband had the chicken verdicchio. the sauce was perfect. Both meals were very large and done perfectly. I would recommend it and I will be back. The wait staff was very helpful and very friendly. read more

I really liked thsi place. I had a veal special that was delicious, and my date had the seafood pasta special which was also tasty.

This is one of the best values on the South shore. The food is fresh, tasty with generous portions. The cocktails are also very good. The service is excellent. There is plenty of street parking even though the lot is closed because the restaurant doesn't own the property. If you want a good bang for your buck try them for lunch. The veal pizziola is addictive. read more

So not the environment we thought, we got all dressed up expecting to be at a somewhat fancy place. The place is very casual, great to know now that we can come here on those days we don't feel like dressing up and want to go out to dinner. The food was good, we got the calamari for an appetizer, lobster ravioli and veal saltimbocca for an entree. We would come here again, dressed more casual though. read more

I've been to this restaurant many times and it's usually pretty good. But this evening my daughter and I came in and our server was ditzy. Couldn't remember things, had disappearing acts. I got the veal marsala and it was lovely. My daughter got the chicken marsala and it was not good. Edible but not good, no flavor. We did not finish our meals and took it home. She gave us our bags and told us which was which. Any way, I went to have my lunch the next day and guess what - I had my daughter's dinner! I was upset. (We live in different cities). My daughter enjoy my dinner. If she had the chicken then she was going to doctor it up to give it some taste. I will go back but not to the same server. (We were there beginning of March). read more

That was gross. My sausage and chicken la rosa was horrible. I waited an hour and a half for calamari with shrimp cocktail sauce. Dear god, help me. read more

Just had dinner at Campanale's and ordered the pork tenderloin special. When it arrived it was VERY overcooked. I tried a piece and, predictably, it was VERY tough from being overdone. When I mentioned it to the waitress and showed her how brown it was in the middle and said there should at least be some pink, she proceeded to argue with me that pork should NOT be pink, certainly not in any restaurant. As anyone who has had pork tenderloin at any kind of good restaurant it most certainly can - and should be - at least a little pink in the center. I understand that things can go wrong but I wouldn't expect an argument that pork MUST be served well done. read more

This evening myself and 8 others went out to eat at Campanale's. This was not our first time at the restaurant. Food is usually pretty good there. Unfortunately due to the choice of the restaurant owner to utilize handwritten bills, there was a lot of unnecessary confusion. Most of the bill was illegible. There was a significant variance in what people thought they owed and what was actually on the bill. The server who was very nice and provided good customer service took the bill back to recheck and provide separate bills. The hostess who we believe is owner comes over and says "are you all set. I need my table." When she came over we were still waiting for the server to return. I was surprised to see such poor customer service. No apology or concern for our time being wasted. The issue with the bill was a direct result of poor handwriting and inaccuracy. We will not be back. read more

Went here for lunch the other day. For the veal fontina and was out of this world, I advise you try it! The restaurant is small but well decorated, there is a musty odor that is kind of a turn off. However, food and service is good! read more

This place is fantastic....we have driven by Campanale's a lot of times and decided to check it out...we were greated by Bobby who was wonderful...he took our drink order and gave us suggestions on the menu.....I had the seafood casserole and it was the best I have ever had....my husband had a chicken and sausage dish in a red marinara.....absolutely fabulous....honestly, check this place out....you will not be disappointed! read more

Excellent Italian comfort food and inventive specials. You will be greeted and seated by one of the owners or owners family. A warm and inviting ambience with very friendly and attentive service.Very fair prices and a good wine list. You will enjoy your meal and time spent there! read more

This place has amazing Italian food. I've never had anything bad here. The Chicken Francese and fettuccine alfredo are outstanding. Additionally they give you bread and delicious hummus. The cocktail shrimp are truly jumbo! And delicious! I typically dine in the bar area and the service is great! read more

Don't understand some of the posts on this restaurant. The poster raved about everything and then give it a 2 or 3 star rating? Oh well. We go there occasionally and have never had a bad meal. People are friendly and the food is consistently good and a value for the money. read more

Had a terrific dinner last week at Campanale's. Chicken Gorgonzola is very good. Server Dorrie was very personable and speedy. Coldest beers in town. read more

I went to Campanale's for years, the food was great, the portion sizes large and the prices were very good as well, not the case anymore. I couldn't beleive how the quality went down as the prices went up (double for many selections. For $15.00 I was served a small luke warm plate sticky pasta and cold hard meatballs that had no flavor. Would I eat there again? NEVER! read more

We enjoyed our meal this evening at Campanale's until the check came. We were using a Restaurant.com gift certificate but noticed that the waiter had added both the tax and an 18% tip BEFORE deducting the value of the gift certificate which was $25.00. There were three different totals circled on the bill making it confusing to determine what the cost of the food was. We also could have missed the fact that the tip was already added. Under Terms and Conditions Restaurant.com certificates clearly state that the value of the certificate is not to be used for taxes and tips. We decided not to take issue at the restaurant but on returning home called and related our experience and was told that it is their policy to add tax and tip and then deduct the value of the certificate. The hostess I spoke with stated she knew the conditions stated on the certificate but they stood by their policy at Campanale's. I have emailed Restaurant.com regarding the incident. read more

Campanale's is one of the favorite restaurants. The food is fresh, delicious and prices are reasonable. The menu is varied and the specials are always so interesting and tasty. This restaurant is owned by a local family and it shows...they welcome you and appreciate your business. The situation with the parking lot is beyond their control..Pls. try it...it is worth walking a few extra steps. A municipal lot is right across on the side street. Enjoy! read more

There is NO parking lot. Maybe there might be on street parking. Maybe there might be parking in the public lot. No one seems to know anything. The service isn't wonderful. The waitress came to the table 4 times before taking our order No one offered a second cup of coffee.. We waited a long time for our check. The place didn't seem busy. The decor is old. The dining room was cold and very noisy. The chefs can cook . Maybe they should look for a new job. Maybe we will try take out but only if the parking issues are resolved. read more

My wife and I ordered the chicken parm, by far the best i've ever had and i've had plenty! I recommend the angle hair pasta with it. The garlic bread appetizer was really great too read more

Service was horrible....over 45 minute wait for a Caesar salad and Mac & cheese...which tasted like Mac & cream sauce...no apologies for the wait....will never go back read more

This was a favorite restaurant of mine as a kid. Even had a good experience a year or two ago meeting up with college pals. This last visit was definitely my last. We got there at 6pm and werent done until 9:30. We had to ask for water refills, ask for our food to be cleared after it sitting in front of us for almost an hour, ask for another bottle of wine after sitting with empty glasses for way too long. This waitress was definitely not looking to make money-she could have sold us more if she tried! She never even offered dessert which we might have had if it wasnt so late. We had to ask for our check. Everything took forever. A neighboring table got up and filled their own water glasses! The food was okay but garlic bread with cheese was more like toast with chopped onions, cucumbers and barely ripened tomatoes on top. A major waste of calories. Whatever has happened to this place is sad. read more

Two of us went there for dinner last night. We had a coupon type deal, which I unfortunately informed the server of as we ordered. We both had a side caesar salad which was good. I had the lasagna, my significant other had the chicken parmigiana. The chicken dish came with approximately one cup of cooked penne. I enjoyed the lasagna, which was tasty. We each had a diet coke, which arrived in very small glasses. During our meals, the server asked if we wanted another diet coke, we did. After our meal, we shared a dessert and each had a regular coffee. When the bill arrived we were shocked. Twenty seven dollars for beverages!!??!! Outrageous. There was also a charge that looked like it was increased from 9 to 11. My significant other didn't want to question it, instead wanted out. I wish I had not listened. Even with the coupon type deal the cost of what we actually got was absolutely ridiculous for what it was. As my significant other stated, we will never return. read more

On a recent visit to this establishment with my family, the experience was not good at all. I ordered the Chicken, Broccoli, and Ziti. As I proceeded to eat, I noticed my chicken to be very soft. I cut it open and found that it wasn't cooked at all. In fact, RAW. The waitress hadn't returned to our table until after everyone else was close to finished. She apologized and asked if I wanted a new plate of food to go, which I was reluctant on taking, but did so because there wasn't even a mention of removing the dish from the bill. I don't go into restaurants to get free meals nor do I go for any discounts. I do expect to get refunded for a terrible meal and to either have a manager or the chef come out to apologize, but that never happened. We were offered a complimentary slice is carrot cake. Never once were we offered refills on our drinks nor did she ever come over and ask how our food was. I will not go back nor will I recommend this place. Very poor service. read more

sat down and got bread right away it was good,then we waited and waited finally figured out that there is only 1 person doing the serving and taking orders ,we ordered drinks and it took awhile.i said I will have another beer and she laughed. and for 20 dollars for veal I thought I would get a salad but did not, so now im thinking there must be a lot of food but it was not. and im not sure but would say that the veal is the same veal the y use in subs it was ok we both gave it a SIX read more

I went to Campanale's yesterday because I had not been there for awhile and had heard some bad reviews about it. I wanted to see for myself and I must admit the reviews are correct. A couple of us showed up just after noontime and the place was empty (it opens at 11:30). We sat for awhile and chatted and then ordered. One ordered a chicken caesar salad, another ordered pork chops, another ordered fish. Oh my. The chicken was not "fresh", looked like it might have been cooked the day before, the pork chops were raw near the bone and the fish was raw in the middle. The waitress was very nice and apologetic. Meanwhile, we were still the only ones in the place. One person did come in to pick up a "to go" order. We were there until 1:30 - 1:45 and no one else came in, not even at the bar. There was only one waitress on duty and I can see why, when you don't have customers there's no need for multiple waitresses. Also, the restaurant used to have parking in the rear of the building, but no more. There is on street parking, but, you don't really have to worry about getting a space because the restaurant doesn't do any business so not only will you have your choice of parking in front of the restaurant, you'll also have your choice of any seat in the place and won't have to worry about your conversation being drowned out by others. Such a shame because Campanale's used to be high end. Please note: I gave it one star because this site doesn't allow you to post without giving it a rating. One star IMO is too much. read more
