As my husband and I planned an anniversary trip to Yellowstone National Park, we knew from rigorous planning that Campione would be the last exquisite supper before glamping and touristy meals in West Yellowstone. Since we couldn't guarantee our flight into BZN would arrive on time and we'd make it to a reservation, we called in advanced and were told that seats *could* be available at the bar. Recommendation: BOOK your reservation in advance and DO all that you can to make it. We arrived and were on the waitlist til a reservation holder called to cancel. We won a culinary lottery that evening -- and saw a rainbow during our after dinner stroll. The menu is Roman and a diamond in the rough. Don't confuse this cuisine with Italian. Before this trip, we eagerly anticipated the freshly caught trout. My husband was thankful for his Campione experience before ordering it from other restaurants on our trip. The pan-seared fish was richly paired with capers and parsley, funghi, leeks, and pickled fennel greens. (I almost ordered it but like a good Roman soldier, I divided to conquer the menu.) The manicotti was far from conventional. The flavorful, delicate oxtail and broth were unlike any heavy tomato-based sauce. This was simply stellar, and an ideal way to warm my belly on a rainy day. While Campione does not readily serve a chef tasting menu, each dish fully engages the senses. Rarely do I take photos when dining out; this dinner was an exception. Plating is colorful and the layers are visually engaging... but delay the gratification of the first bite especially if you order the smoked cauliflower: waft first. Hospitality by the hosts and server were top-notch, complementing the caliber of the food and living up to the motto embedded in the tiled entry: in the service of others. read more

Very friendly staff they enhanced the atmosphere. Made our long day tired faces fill with joy. It was little extra salt for us but the service was so nice we didn't care. read more

Another home run! Loved it, made reservations and got to eat another Sunday dinner at my all time favorite Italian restaurant... Can't say enough, wonderful atmosphere, the owner is great always greets everyone with a smile and genuine hospitality. That really counts for us, for me, for the people I introduce to this place.. Menu provided is perfectly arranged, detailed enough to where you want to try it all! (but realistically you want to leave room for their desserts) (But usually I just order the desserts to take home and eat a bit later) Everyone I know loves this place, still CANNOT believe it exists in Livingston but am very grateful for their choice of location ! read more

The best service I've had in... maybe...forever? Small and quaint, but worth the wait! We fell in love with this place. The food was as good as the hospitality. Wine by the glass was limited and could have been better - especially with only a couple of options. Everything else was fresh, inventive, and delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Delicious! You don't need reservations for brunch, like you do for dinner. The food is high quality, fresh, and delicious read more

Campione Roman Kitchen - Meatball hash brunch - Italian Near Me - Livingston, Montana

We have been here multiple times when visiting Livingston. The meatballs and sauce were delicious. The focaccia was crisp and light, the best we have ever had. The vegetable pasta wasn't quite to our taste but the salad was crisp and flavorful. The servers though were exceptional, friendly and cheerful; they made our evening. read more

This place is AMAZING. The best restaurant in Livingston. The Fairfield recommended this place for Italian food and it did not disappoint. I had 2 glasses of their house wine and ordered both of their specials. The started was heirloom tomatoes with blistered shishito peppers in a plum sauce/dressing. It also had mini sliced plums. The flavors were exquisite and it was the perfect amount. 10 thumbs up. For dinner the special was a lamb ragu with yellow squash and something green but I forgot what it was and rigatoni. It was amazing. I portion was huge and the lamb was lean and full of flavor. Another 10 thumbs up. This place is very small and reservations are recommended. Since it was only me I got a seat immediately at the 6 top bar. Everyone sitting around me was super friendly. Our server was attentive and also friendly. Sitting at the bar was also a good choice because you got to see the food prepared and it all looked wonderful. I would highly recommend this place if you're ever in Livingston. read more

We stumbled upon this restaurant during our one night stay in Livingston and let me tell you, you do not need to miss this place! The staff were so friendly, we didn't have a reservation and the hostess made sure to get us a seat at the bar as soon as she could! She even yelled our names down the street so we didn't miss our chance. We ordered the meat balls and the bison ragu pasta. The focaccia that is served with the meatballs is all you need to rave about this place. The fresh cooked bread is to die for and goes perfectly with the meatballs marinara sauce. You will not be disappointed with any meal you have here. Truly amazing. read more

What a great find in Livingston. Excellent, unique hand-made pasta and Italian food. Everyone was friendly, welcoming and professional from my initial phone call to see if I needed a reservation (I ate at the bar, which was a great experience) to my last good night. I started with a simply dressed fresh arugula salad, had the delicious manicotti unlike anything I'd ever eaten and topped it off with orange olive oil cake with whipped cream so thick it looks like ice cream. I love this place. read more

Campione Roman Kitchen - Manicotti - Italian Near Me - Livingston, Montana

Wow. We stopped for Saturday brunch. What a unique venue and menu. A line had already formed before opening and we had a lovely chat with visitors from Georgia. We were able to continue the conversation because we were seated next to them. Love the historic vibe of the decor. Very clean and comfortable. I knew we were in for a treat when Keegan our "conduit to your meal" introduced herself. We wanted to try everything on the menu! We started with the bread pudding special. Very good (even though the Hubbs) is not a huge fan of raisins). Then the meatballs. Super yummy, tender with great sauce and buttery bread. For the entrees we ordered the baked rigatoni and the porkchetta. Both were very flavorful with eggs. I would have preferred two poached eggs on my rigatoni. The sauce was very rich and the egg made it the perfect bite, but I ran out of egg with lots of rigatoni to go. The pork belly on the porkchetta is sliced very thick which made it a bit chewy - tip: cut it into smaller pieces. We had lots to take home for another meal. We can't wait to come back to try other delights, and for dinner. This is a must-stop when in town. Everyone on the staff were engaging and helpful. Lovely! read more

We can't stay away from Campione--it's that good! (Three times in the past three weeks!) The meatballs are absolutely delicious, but so is the rest of the menu, including the brunch dishes. And the people and service and atmosphere are just as good. A national treasure here in Montana--do not miss it! read more

If I could have given 10 stars I would have! Easily the best meal we have had while living in Montana! We made reservations a month in advance which was perfect. The panzanella salad was delicious! If you can get the manicotti with oxtail in brodo with a side of bread to mop the brodo up do it!! The flavors were absolutely divine. My husband enjoyed the linguine and meatballs and those were delicious as well. The broken cheesecake? Holy moly. It was unreal! We loved everything about Campione and can't wait to go back! read more

Food was amazing! The staff and our waitress (Megan) were sensational! The decor and the vibe were equally as good! Could eat here every single night with zero issue!!! This spot is a must! read more

My boyfriend and I visited Campione for our anniversary after some suggestions from my friends. I got the linguini with meatballs and it was absolutely amazing! As was the homemade focaccia which was the perfect texture. We also ordered the arugula salad, which was a little overpowered by lemon, but otherwise good. Our wine came in a fun little pitcher, and they were really on top of making sure our glasses were full. Our waitress was really sweet and very knowledgeable about the menu. I'm giving this restaurant 3 stars, however, because the experience felt rushed. We showed up for our reservation a few minutes early, and they immediately kicked two women out of a table so that we could sit there. That was a little awkward. We definitely wouldn't have minded waiting a few minutes or waiting at the bar until a table was free. At the end of our meal, the waitress dropped the check off as we were in the middle of eating dessert, which also made us feel like they were in a hurry to get us out of there. Overall, I think in an effort to maximize profit they try to squeeze in more reservations in a night that they can handle, at the expense of customer experience. I'd definitely be down to try Campione again, maybe on a slower night. read more

Everyone knows this place now as does the staff. Really nice menu and wine list. Wait staff pushes a bit knowing they work at Top 50 NYT place. Waitress seemed insulted when we ordered only apps. A bit too much bread with dishes, IE no need for huge bread pieces with pasta. Panacotta desert was way too runny. Net net is being on NY Times Top 50 list comes with rewards and pressure to impress. When people take pictures out front of the resto It means something. Now just need to keep momentum going but not assume you can fool paying customers because of your accolades read more

SIMPLY AMAZING! My wife, son, and I popped in for dinner on Thursday. We were not disappointed! The staff is super friendly, the place is crazy cute, and food is the chef's kiss of chef's kisses! Everything was perfect, but the standouts were the linguine and meatballs and the bread. Omg, the bread!!! I am emotionally distraught by not having saved room for desert. The broken cheesecake, the torta all'Arancia, and granita all looked mouthwateringly delicious. There is a rumour going around the entire staff are all singer-songwriters. So, that's fun! read more

Absolute 10 out of 10 make sure you make a reservation. Quite the awesome little gym in downtown Livingston you won't be disappointed. read more

Campione Roman Kitchen - Bison Bolognese, Yum - Italian Near Me - Livingston, Montana

The food selection was limited and not great. We were greatly disappointed with the take on some of the dishes. I think they are trying to hard to do something different. The meatballs were just okay, the bread had no flavor but looked beautiful. We will not be back and will not recommend this place. Good news the service was pretty solid which is why I gave it 3 stars. If I was just rating food I would have selected one star. read more

Service was friendly and attentive. Food was delicious. I'm not sure what else we could ask for. We had the meatball appetizer and the pasta campioni. Both were great. We will absolutely be back anytime we are in Livingston. read more

I come from Billings just to enjoy this amazing culinary experience. I try to select a different menu item each time but keep coming back to the uniquely prepared manicotti. Absolutely INCREDIBLE! The service is always wonderful and I am single so I sit at the bar and enjoy conversations with other patrons. Love it all, every time. read more

This place......I do have not enough superlatives. Imagine dinner the way you might imagine a perfect dinner. What you're envisioning is how Campione does it. The staff...you can tell this isn't like a job to them. They're in there b/c they value the food and wine and they want to respect it and they do that. Everything at dinner time in the evening there is dreamy. The service is so excellent and Authentic. There's no place like this!! Eat here! If you are within 100mi of Livingston you owe to yourself to come here and experience it. The vibe is so inviting. The staff understand the importance of sitting down and taking time to enjoy the food, wine, the people you're sharing this experience with....and they do not rush you out after 40minutes so they can turn over the table. And I'd have expected to pay double for everything I ate and drank there last night...so the prices are incredibly approachable! Love it!! read more

Amazing place to stop and eat in Livingston. The food was amazing, interior was cute, and the service was amazing. My favorite dishes have to be the crispy brussel sprouts, pasta dei campioni, and for dessert, torta all'arancia. read more

A nice quiet place with superior food and service! We eat there often. It is not inexpensive but well worth it.

What a fantastic experience!! Heard about this gem through some friends and now I get the hype. The food is off the hook!! And honestly the service couldn't have been better. First class all the way. Highly recommend the Brussels for a pre dinner nibble. Nice chill vibe and ambiance as well. read more

Without a doubt, the most unfriendly hostess I have ever talked to. Tried to get a reservation. No. Takeout . No. And was told she was too busy to talk with us. We hear it is great food, but I won't spend money at a place that treats their customers like that. Not the Montana way! read more

The food was amazing. As was the service. The presentation of the food was stunning. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Thank you.

Amazing!!! The food was so unique & so delicious! We were a large group so we were served a prix fixe menu & each appetizer dish & entry dish were so good!! Megan our server was the BEST!!! If only we didn't live in L.A.!!! WOW!!! read more

My family and I are visiting from Philadelphia and are so glad our BZN friend lead us to Campione for brunch. They were so friendly and accommodating to our toddler - we are not used to hosts and servers at higher end restaurants being so willing to interact with children as we certainly don't find this on the East Coast. The interior of the restaurant is so quaint and inviting. It felt cozy but not crowded. Most importantly, every dish we tried was absolutely delicious. The crispy potatoes maintained their crisp, no wilty greens in sight, and the sunny-side-up eggs were perfectly cooked. This is a restaurant in a sleepy little town that could absolutely hold its own in a city like Philadelphia. Anyone passing through Livingston should give it a try! read more

Sit at the window seat. Take in downtown Livingston. Wave at people. Enjoy the smells coming from the kitchen and the voices of other guests filling the intimate space with laughter.

Expense wasn't worth the experience. One drink one glass of wine check =&176. Fried seafood tasted more like sand than lightly breaded

Such a phenomenal meal! I was staying at Big Sky and made the trek to Livingston and it was beyond worth it. From the warm service to the delicious dishes, this place is an absolute gem and I've been dreaming about it ever since! I can't even begin to describe how friendly and welcoming and helpful the service was. As for dishes, I recommend from the dinner menu the Pasta Dei Campioni, Linguine with Meatballs, scallops (was a special) and lamb chops (also a special). For dessert the Broken Cheesecake, raspberry gelato and Torta all' Arancia are both so decadent and memorable. I look forward to returning to Montana for this restaurant! read more

This is a classy little gem nestled in the Montana foothills. Classic Italian fare with ingredients such as bison and locally sourced vegetables. Also, handmade pasta and focacia. To boot their broken cheese cake contains almond crumble, fresh berries, and the most delectable Pana cotta. A must order if you ever go. The most noticeable attribute is the service, friendly and jovial but professional and efficient. Smiles everywhere you look and a drive to address your every need. When traveling the treasure state, be sure to find this diamond. read more

Very nice restaurant. The atmosphere was very nice. Small quant, charming.. The only issues I had was it was really hot sitting at the bar and they should serve a small salad with an entree. read more

The appetizers were amazing--and I believe we ordered all of them. We were slightly less impressed by the one main course we ordered. All in all it's a good place for people who love to share plates. The restaurant is very tastefully decorated and the staff is super friendly but as it is a small space, they do try to turn over tables quickly. The staff was honest about that, which I appreciate much more than subtly being rushed through a meal. Must be booked three weeks in advance or you're out on a waitlist. If you go the waitlist route, call the restaurant to see if you have a table! read more
