This place is horrible we went and there was no host older man guess was owner was chatting in bar looks at us and did nothing. We almost had to sit ourselves. You serve bread with oil not hummus. How do you not serve cappuccino or espresso. Ordered meatballs horrible no flavor maybe adding some breadcrumbs and spices would help. Only reason why I gave one star was because the server was really nice. Not even cannoli how do you not have cannoli. read more

I went there for lunch last week and ordered a chicken parmesan. The entree was a generous portion but the chicken was a bit burnt on the side. It was a good lunch.. I might try some other dishes next time. read more

The restaurant is definitely a local favorite hangout! The bar was busy when we arrived, but we got a table right away. Our server, Chris, was awesome! She was very friendly and allowed us to order appetizers, enjoy them and then order food. The portions were amazing and comparable for the price. I tried the veal fontina and my son had the schrod piccata style, which they accommodated. It all was delicious and we ended up with leftovers. If you're in the Quincy area, looking for Italian food, and want a local favorite, this is a spot for you! read more

Campanale's is a true hidden gem if you haven't tried the place yet.. in our case we stopped in for some takeout after doing some school shopping.. we got a Sicialian Pizza, Large Caesar Salad, Onion Soup and Minestrone soup.. all where very good!!! We also decided to order take out again a few days later due to the late work schedule of my wife it was easier to just grab something out, This time we ordered a Regular Cheese Pizza, Large Caesar Salad with Steak Tips, Lasagna, cheeseburger w/fries, Onion Soup, Minestrone Soup and Garlic Bread again very impressed with everything we ordered!!! I have absolutely no qualms about this Restaurant at all both times I have visited the staff has been Super nice ... great place and I know that Campanale's is now a place my family has added to enjoy a good Dining experience, the restaurant is very clean and offers additional parking at the corner.. read more

Nasty food - do not even waste your time or money! We have tried this place a few times. It is seriously bad. Any good review is just planted. Try Gennaro's in Quincy. Good food - decent prices. read more

The best Italian food. Service is wonderful. I recommend this restaurant for lunch or dinner. The best.

Went with my wife last night not very Impressed.no draught beer which is fine, but bottled selection was poor. ordered bourbon turkey tips which were good but not many. Wifeys Scallops looked much better. My biggest complaint is our meal Was accompanied by a man and woman talking/screaming at each other from 2 feet away! The classic ugly American. At the very least the bartender should have reminded them that other folks were trying to enjoy there night out. We won't be back. read more

This place smelled like toilet cleaner, was loud, and the food was like microwaved frozen ingredients. Would not recommend, especially not for a date because you can barely hear the other person. There was live music in the bar area though so maybe it's a better bar/dive experience. read more

I was torn between 2-3 stars I have been coming here off and on since I was a kid in the 90's. My boyfriend and myself came here a few times and it was decent really empty and had the place to ourselves. One person my boyfriend told this place to the guy he spoke to thought this place was closed. The workers were watching a movie in the bar it was so empty the pasta portions are huge, he liked the burger and on another outing liked the steak. The sodas are served in flute glasses, drink slow save your drink for your meal they charge for refills, it's alright might go back might not. read more

If you're looking for decent red-sauce Italian food for an inexpensive family meal, but something that feels a little warmer than a chain, this place will probably suit you fine. Some Italian restaurants in the area are getting kind of expensive and may have variations on familiar dishes that kids or traditional eaters don't love. If that's the case in your family, you should come here. The food is not fantastic, however, and it is inconsistent. Sometimes you get the feeling they're throwing whatever they can find in the kitchen into the sauces. It's edible and inexpensive. The service is very friendly. The prices are a little less than other Italian restaurants and you're supporting a local business instead of a chain. read more

I went to Campanale's because I had a Living Social coupon, I figured that I would give it a try. We got fried calamari as an appetizer - it was served in a pool of grease with cocktail sauce instead of a marinara - yuck. We also ordered chicken parm and a pizza. The chicken parm was less than average and the pizza was ice cold - had to send it back to reheat. We had 2 beers each and when we got the bill realized that they charge $7 for coors light and bud light - really? So we got 4 light beers for $28... I would never go back to this place again - stay away is my advice. read more

Pretty good little Italian place, that I wish I had known about when I lived in the area. I absolutely loved my dish and even attempted to recreate it at home. Can't remember the name of it, but It was penne, chicken, feta cheese, olives, mushrooms, diced tomatoes & garlic... mmm! (My version was not quite as tasty as Campanale'sversion, though!) My boyfriend got Veal Parm & it was a huge portion with delicious sauce and nice & juicy. We both enjoyed a good portion of leftovers the next day. Our server was the bartender and he was really nice. The only reason I don't give more stars is because I went back recently and the chicken parm I got was paper thin and dry as a bone. My boyfriend's veal parm was very good however and interestingly enough his portion was much larger than mine. The veal was much better than the chicken. read more

First of all, i would like back the one star yelp forced me to give them. They deserve no stars. Second of all, the food was possibly the worst food I have ever eaten. Like other reviews pointed out, the calamari is served in a slimy puddle of oil. Like calamari isn't oily enough. And it was served with cocktail sauce?? Who does that??? The eggplant and chicken parm was clearly made last year and was likely "nuked". Yuck. And the chicken saltimboca was a gray old rubbery piece of chicken with american cheese melted on it... And to boot we almost paid the tip twice, the waitress added in her tip without telling us, and I just happened to notice she scribbled "grat" next to the $8.50 she added onto the bill. What restaurant adds in tip on a $50 bill and dosent even tell you? I used to be a waitress, I know these tricks. We could not eat the food, and just left it on the table...don't be fooled by the other reviews, you will waste your time and money the way we did. And its not cheap? How can they justify charging so much for food that will land you in the hospital with food poisoning??? RUN RUN RUN read more

Campanale's has been around forever, and they still make great meals at reasonable prices. The Veal or Chicken Fontina is outstanding, one of their best plates, cooked with fontina cheese, sautéed with mushrooms, broccoli, zucchini and carrots in a Marsala wine, try it once and you'll never again want your chicken or veal prepared Parmigiana or any other traditional Italian style. read more

Friendly service...good drinks..had a white sangria ...good taste and good size....had the chicken parmigiana...holy crap it was huge and with angel-hair .(my favorite)...would be back but we are out from California read more

I liked this restaurant. After a long morning on the road, I came in for lunch. Liked the laid back atmosphere, did not feel neither rushed or neglected. Was greeted at the door. Had the Eggplant Parmesan and it was good. Huge serving for $8.00. Could not eat it all. They had wireless, which was a plus since I'm traveling for business and have to keep up with e-mails. Yeah, the decor is a little outdated (dark burgundy paint), but it was cool on a humid day. Liked the rest of it. The only critical comment I have is the bread should be served warm with room temperature butter. Not that big of a deal. I found the server very attentive, but not hovering (which drives me crazy). read more

Went there last night to try a local spot with my wife. Never again 1st the Hostess was sitting and seemed to be having a great time chatting with her friends. Not really focused on people coming into the restaurant. We were sat at a table, where the fork and knife were laying on the table and not on a napkin. Next we had a server bring us bread and butter and what I can only assume was hummus. Whatever it was had a bland flavor. It was never explained to us what it was. The waiter was nice and pleasant. She smiled and was very attentive. The food presentation was descent at best. The veal parm sandwich had great flavor, and the chicken alfredo, looked like it was thrown together at the last second. The chicken was seasoned and overall it had good flavor. The large greek salad was horrible. The lettuce had huge chunks in it, and was maybe cut twice, before being but on the plate. The tomato was cut into huge chunks, as was the green pepper and onion. It would have been nice for them to pay a little bit more attention to detail. read more

My boyfriend and I have eaten at Campanale's a few times. He loves the chicken parm, I usually go for a safer option at new places and get sandwiches... everything on their menu is reasonably priced. There was live music in the bar area which was perfect... really enjoyed Timmy. Enjoyed my snickertini even more. Will be returning to this establishment. It's lovely on the inside, food is good and music is good. Recommend for a date night, any time. read more

Orders from the boss...take our colleague/client to dinner. Any excuse to eat somewhere new is OK by me. We were staying in the area and it was actually our colleague that suggested this place. When my husband heard it was an Italian restaurant he got very excited. It took me to get more excited. I am not a big Italian food fan, I know, horrible...especially being a quarter Italian. However, I was pretty pleased with this place! The restaurant itself is pretty small but, that just means the servers can be more accommodating. Our server was a sweet girl named Allie(Ally...so many different versions of the name). She was attentive and prompt with everything. My husband got a build your own pasta dish, I ordered the caprese sandwich and our colleague ordered a seafood pasta dish. All three of us were very satisfied and left full and happy. This is one of the few Italian places I have actually liked. We had been traveling for two weeks and my husband said this was by far his favorite place we ate the entire trip! Kudos! read more

We were a group of 8, coming from all directions to gather so we made a reservation. Upon arrival, they can accommodate us, but have no knowledge of resi. Service was lacking, unknowable in liquors and wines. The food was the highlight, we enjoyed the chef's board, clams casino and calamari. Entrees were traditional, tasty and filling. read more

I usually stop in wit a group for lunch on Fridays. Excellent food, great service and reasonable prices. I usually get the Chicken Piccata or Marsala. Always prepared fresh with a generous portion of pasta. I'll keep going back. read more

This place is great. Super old school inside. Friendly, casual staff. We ordered chicken saltimbocca and gnocchi with a side of meatballs. The gnocchi was amazing! One of my favorites ever. Loved the pink sauce. The saltimbocca was really good- huge portion, enough for two meals. Didn't try desert but it looked great. $120 for four people! read more

Good food and friendly service. The portions are small, especially when you look at the prices, but still delicious and I will likely be back. I had been craving carbonara for weeks and found their menu had it. It was alright. I like my carbonara sauce a bit soupier, but it was alright. I have to get back to try the chicken parm as it's one of my favorite foods ever and the word on the street is they have a good one. The boyfriend really enjoyed his meatballs and tortellini, especially the spicy pasta sauce he got on it. Only lament from him, again, was portion too small. He said their coffee was great as well. The girlfriends enjoyed their meals, cleared their plates, and went on to some nice desserts. I tried some of the cakes they got, they were alright. read more

This place is hit or miss. I've been here several times. My old coworkers used to take us here. It's been here for a while (over 10 yrs). I agree with Marc H's review. read more

We had reservations last night and were quickly seated and got water and bread immediately. It took a few minutes for the waitress to get our drink order, but our appetizers came out in good time. It seemed like it took a while for our food to come out, however we did get served more drinks. All 4 of us enjoyed our food. But here's the thing that will bring us back: we never felt rushed, yes it was very relaxing.. lately when we go to dinner each week at other places we feel they are trying to turn over the tables quick, perhaps it was because we had a 730 reservation? All I know is we all enjoyed ourselves and we will be back soon. read more

I must have hit this place on a good night because my experience was 100% excellent. We were seated instantly in a nice, quiet area. Our waiter was attentive but not hovering. The wine list is fabulous, with some good choices that aren't terribly expensive. My dinner salad was very large and tasty. The food - OMG. My husband I both enjoyed our entrees immensely. Generous portions and cooked to perfection. The red sauce is really good. Very tasty yet mellow at the same time. I am a big fan of old-school family restaurants (Venetian in Weymouth, Villa Rosa and Alfredo's in Quincy), and this is my newest find. Loved it and will be back. Also, they are on Restaurant.com right now, you can't beat that deal, especially if you use the current 80% code. Yum! read more

Had the chicken parm and it was fine. American style italian food. I didn't taste the marsala but it looked fantastic. read more

See all

On a Saturday night, a friend and I called up to see if there was a wait, (we had to be someplace by a certain time) and the response was "Oh, no no no no no no no there's no wait, nope, not here" - which was kind of weird and maybe an indicator of the place as a whole. But, we had a Groupon so we figured we'd go try it out. The place is pretty old fashioned once you walk in. Instead of your typical olive oil dipping sauce, you get a weird hummus-ish mixture. Strange. The sodas are tiny, and are not free refills. I had the veal and eggplant parm. The eggplant was decent, but I've had better. The veal was overcooked and the edges were too tough. With the Groupon, the prices seem reasonable, but I certainly wouldn't go out of my way to get here another day, and pay full price. Not worth it. read more

The food is just ok but the service was awful. Menu items were unavailable or incorrect. Ask for a bottle of prosecco and was told it was an error n the menu and unavailable. Ordered peppercorn sirloin, comes out - no peppercorns. It was brought back to kitchen and thrown back on the grill and mashed into a few peppercorns then dropped in front of me again. After dinner ordered an espresso but could not get one unless I ordered a drink too. My advice, stay away. read more

4 stars for service, 2 stars for food. My cousin and I visited this place on a Friday evening. I've always loved their pizza but never tried dining in. The waitress was really nice. Atmosphere was very lackluster and dull. I ordered the garlic bread and the lobster ravioli in my quest to find the best lobster ravioli in Boston, that was a big miss. But the food was edible. The food could've been worse honestly but I wouldn't recommend this place. read more

I came in on Monday with my friend, I arrived first and was greeting friendly and accommodating with a change of table, my waitress made sure to come over and get my menus and dish. She was friendly and polite. Food was amazing as always I had taking a soup to-go and our waitress made Sure when she packed it up it was hot while we walked out of the restaurant, Minestronewe have never seen this waitress Before but she was outstanding thank you angela we will be back.! read more

I ordered from Campanale's to cater a Confirmation Party for my son. I must say the food was fantastic and plentiful. Also the young woman I worked with was fantastic......I requested to have the food delivered between 1:45-2 and they were right on time. I will definitely hire this restaurant in the future. read more

This was a nice suprise. It was so good I almost don't want to share it with everybody. The place will get crowded and I'll have to wait. The fresh bread, butter, and humus was a meal in its self. The antipasto was the largest I have ever seen and delicious. Cukes, tomatoes, onions, roasted peppers, tuna, cheese, and cold cut meats. Joyce had the penne padta andchicken pircarda. I went with penne padta, shrimp, and fra-divalo sauce. Just perfect. We got dessert to go and I haven't had mine as of yet. Will do after I finish this. read more

Bobby is the BEST bartender ever! Campanale family is very nice and the food is very good!

Very special place. We had such a great dinner here. I had eggplant parm which was amazing. My husband had veal which he loved. The portions were huge and we both took home leftovers. The lobster tail dessert was insanely good and I don't usually eat dessert. The atmosphere is very inviting and cozy and everyone who works there is super friendly Will definitely be going back on a regular basis. read more

My boyfriend and I like this place a lot. We discovered it when we purchased a Groupon for it and have been returning ever since. We have been here several times and have never gotten anything that wasn't amazing! They definitely, in my opinion, have be best fried calamari around! Service is usually fast and friendly. The only reason I gave this place 4 stars no not 5 is the desserts. I wish they were a little more fresh. You can tell they are not made there there and thats how they taste. Not to say that they are awful or anything. Furthermore, the dessert menu is very small and never changes. Other than that minor complaint, everything is always great, right down to the coffee. read more

Thank you Campanale's Restaurant and Deana Ferrini! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my family and friends at the Repast for my sister held at your restaurant last month. The food was excellent, the service terrific and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Everyone raved about the buffet selection: Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken, Broccoli & Ziti and the Broiled Scrod. Everything was cooked to perfection -delicious! The attention to detail and warm, caring atmosphere made this experience more than I could have asked for. I strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a good meal and great customer service. Thank you! Linda Maturo read more

I'm giving a 4 star rating for the amount of food given. I ordered angel hair with tomato sauce which was good. Ended taking half of it home. My husband ordered eggplant and chicken parmigiana. He also took half of it home. The sauce was very good. For the con: better table service is needed on filling water glasses and we had to wait a while even though there were only 3 other tables occupied. Biggest con was restaurant section was cold from the consistent foot traffic going to the bar with the front door opening and closing. I would in the future order for takeout. read more

Baffled by any good review. We have tried this place a few times - spread out over the past 10 years. The food is not even edible. Once we got a take out pizza and had to throw it out! Do not let the pictures fool you! Don't waste your money. Pizza shop Italian food is even better. We go to La Scala - only a few miles from Campanales and it is very good. Another place we need to try is Johnny Macaronis in Bridgewater. read more

Nine of us came together on a Monday night in July. There were not too many other diners on this Monday night. Each of us are senior citizens and we all enjoyed our meals. The food was well prepared and tasty. Portions were a good size. The service was excellent. All in all, a fine dining evening. I do recommend you dine here. read more
