We found Compari's by chance about a year ago - and we LOVE it. I am allergic to Parmesan cheese, yet my husband loves it in everything. To get an Italian restaurant to take my allergy seriously has been a lifelong issue for us. (One chef actually explained that he merely added just a little Parmesan - only for a little flavor that shouldn't cause harm to anyone. I was actually sick for a week.) Compari's understands us and provides exactly what we want. Their salads are always a fresh accompanyment to a pasta. We usually order to go, but we plan to come by with friends and enjoy a nice dinner in the restaurant. read more

Our little group stopped in again the other day, and enjoyed the meals. I had the chicken parmigiana, which was nicely prepared, with a nice size piece of chicken, and a proper amount of gooey melted cheese. This dish was nicely done. One of our party had one of the sandwiches (cannot remember which one) and it was enough to save half for dinner the next day. Another had the mushroom ravioli special, and gave it a thumbs up. read more

I recently went back to Campari's for lunch after not visiting for quite a while, and I'm so glad I did! Their lunch menu is fantastic, and the prices are hard to beat. I ordered a pepperoni, mushroom, and extra cheese pizza, and it was absolutely delicious. The sauce has just the right hint of garlic, giving it amazing flavor without overpowering the pizza. Every bite was perfectly balanced and incredibly satisfying. The real star of the meal, though, is the salad. It's loaded with garbanzo beans, olives, thick-shredded mozzarella, carrots, and plenty of other fresh ingredients. It comes with perfectly toasted garlic bread, and the whole lunch is just $12--an incredible value! I've also had the chicken Parmesan and the lasagna, and both were comforting, flavorful, and generously portioned. This time I went with my cousin, who ordered the beef ravioli. It was covered in a rich, cheesy sauce that looked absolutely irresistible--a cheese lover's dream! The portions are so generous and I always have leftovers to enjoy later. If you're looking for a delicious, affordable Italian lunch, Campari's is definitely the place to go. I'll be back again soon! read more

I got the chicken Parmesan and it was cooked to perfection. It was great portions as well. It was very, very delicious. I will definitely get this dish again. We got our order to go, but will be coming back to sit down and eat in the restaurant. It was very cute inside. It also had a lot of people in there. So it is really good. read more

What went well? Everything! Finished a good hour swim in the pool and was ready to grub-big time. Been here many times, but this was my first time with the Yelp review. Ordered the anti-pasta salad for starters, then jumped right into a small meat lovers with extra cheese (both pictured). An Arnold Palmer washed things down. As for the server, I had the best of the best, a seasoned gentleman and familiar face in these parts named Elver. Top notch service all around. I'll be back...again. read more

Always a good time at Compari's! I have been coming here for 20 years; the food is great and the staff are always so friendly and welcoming!

I'm a big fan of the heavenly garden pizza, ALL of their salads, mushroom app and the chicken parm! May have to try some of their newer items too!! Make sure to try some of their homemade deserts like the spumoni! read more

We have known about this place for YEARS, But, never went in until a few weeks ago on a Sunday night. The place was busy and staff was really hustling to keep up! Did we feel any projected agita from the staff? No! Consummate professionalism under fire. The team obviously have fun working there. This made for a busy but relaxed feel to the place. Each of our entrees arrived fresh and hot. Needless to say, our experience here was pretty great. I guess this is why Compari's has been in business for decades. We will be back. read more

this is a family and community favorite. delicious pizza and salads! my family and i have been coming to comparies for over 20 years. its gives a little slice of italy when you dine in and the staff is super welcoming. read more

I came here on a Friday (day before Valentine's Day) at 5:30pm and was seated right away. It started to get busy around 7pm and tables were filling up. The ambiance was so welcoming and festive for the holiday with hearts and roses scattered throughout the restaurant. Compari's is a cute little hidden gem of an Italian restaurant that more people should know about. Elver and Paris were so sweet and attentive. We started with the zucchini and mushrooms as an appetizer that came out piping hot with ranch dipping sauce. The zucchini and mushrooms were cooked perfectly and stayed in tacked while having a crispy outer coat. For Valentine's Day they have a set menu for two people from Friday to Sunday for dinner and lunch service. It's a great deal! We got the house salad, heart shaped lobster ravioli, lady and the tramp spaghetti with a giant meatball and the cheesecake. I almost forgot the garlic bread, we had to have two servings of the bread to soak up all the sauce! The portions were generous and the ravioli were stuffed with lobster! You can tell the food is made in house and with a lot of love. The pasta was delicious and the meatball was so tender and juicy. For the dessert we even got homemade chocolate covered strawberries with our cheesecake. It was a very special treat to end a wonderful meal -- I was stuffed! I can't wait to come back and try their lunch specials or pizzas! You definitely have to try it! read more

A hidden gem with friendly service and cute vibes inside. Came here with my boyfriend for a lowkey Tuesday date night and we both really liked it. The portion sizes are generous and I really liked my chicken pesto. Similarly, my boyfriend inhaled his ravioli in a lemon cream sauce. Both dishes came with crusty garlic bread that came hot from the oven. The decor was rustic Italian with sparkling lights on the ceiling. The place is intimate and cozy. There's a few free parking spots available in the front, otherwise street parking is available. Credit cards are accepted. Dine-in and takeout available. read more

Well, EXCUSE ME, sir/madam! I did not know what an incredibly tasting, sweetest staff, and friggin ADORABLE restaurant this was! My friends brought me after working on a short film together, it was an exhausting yet rewarding day to begin with, but this meal topped it. Excellent mushroom ravioli in a lemon sauce, some of the best Chianti I've Ever had, and a truly lovely intimate restaurant. Not to mention the music and vibes pergola above the restaurant made me long for returning to Italy. Thank you Compari! I will definitely be back. Also... Forgive me, I had a moment with the rest of the Mushroom Lemon Ravioli Special, so I only left one (momentarily to be rapidly consumed) ravioli. But here's her beauty. My god that sauce, I nearly licked the plate. Imma dream about this dish. Can't wait to have the next meal here. read more

This was a complete, and much needed, surprise! We hadn't tried a new (for us) Italian place in a while, and with it being National Lasagna Day back on July 29, my guy came through on finding this place. Holy cow, since we're already mentioning Lasagna, this place has the best lasagna that I've had in *years*. The pasta layers were perfectly cooked! There was no need to really use a knife to cut it apart. The edges were crisp without it being tough to cut or chew. The cheese to meat ratio was heavenly, and the red sauce (marinara/gravy/whatever you choose to call it) was deep. The dishes we got the sauce on were perfect. Even for the mozzarella sticks. The Chicken Cacciatore was hearty on so many different levels with the veggies and chicken and pasta. The lemon sauce ravioli was delicious, but I don't recall the specific ravioli stuffing. The Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken was spot-on comfort food. We also got the fried mushrooms as appetizer, which were stellar. They were perfectly battered and fried, but be careful because they do hold the heat from frying for a while. My guy is a cheesecake fiend, so of course he has to try it. It was imperfectly perfect. It looked homemade, so we asked, and while they don't make it in-house, they said they do get it from a local bakery. So delicious and worth the splurge if you have the stomach space. Service was splendid and the guy was a delight to chat with. It wasn't too busy inside, but there was a genuine mix of people/cultures that we really appreciated. The space is small, but the decor envelopes you and takes you away to somewhere other than a bustling urban area. Definitely going back. read more

Love the salad here! The pizza was really good. My daughter said she preferred it over Fresh Brothers. Which is typically her favorite pizza lol we got the antipasto salad, the House Special pizza and a cheese pizza for the kiddo. All were really good. read more

Food is good. Prices are reasonable. Perfect neighborhood spot when you're craving Italian!

Our go to Italian place. Small and quaint place with great food and friendly service.

Nice and quaint restaurant. Happy to support small business, reasonable price. Super nice and friendly staff, pasta was good.

Our service was exceptional! I have come here off and on for years, but I would say recently the food quality has elevated substantially. I love this local small business and hope more people give it the chance it deserves. Delicious pasta dishes are our family's favorite, but simple pizzas make the busy weeknights easy and we highly recommend. I just had a small mushroom pizza the last night and it was perfect! read more

Not only is this one of the best Italian food places I've been to, but the staff is truly amazing and makes it feel like we're always part of the family. From the sandwiches (Italian sub my personal favorite) and perfect pizzas to the chicken parmesan and pesto pasta, EVERYTHING IS AMAZING. Go here, like now. read more

Based on the previous Yelp reviews I was expecting tasty Italian food, but instead the food was a best bland in some cases nearly flavorless and overly oily. Even the "garlic" bread lacked any flavor and was made with a basic sandwich/hogue roll. Disappointing to say the least. read more

Great lunch special. Closed on mondays tho. And no takeout for the lunch menu. I've had the chicken parm a few times and it's really good!

Amazing food & service. We've been going here for the past year and love the atmosphere. The al limone sauce is absolutely amazing! read more

I ordered over the phone the lady that helped me was very nice and even when i went to pick up my order she was very nice and greeted me and my coworker. A little disappointed because when i got back to work my order was wrong . I called and advised the lady she said there was nothing she could do but give my number to the owner! So first time going there and was excited but ended up disappointed because my order was wrong read more

I am not a big fan of italian food but this place was overall great and I'd definitely come back. I forgot to take pictures of everything but the caesar salad was very flavorful. The chicken was a little salty so maybe I'd pass on that next time and order just the salad. The lobster ravioli with pink sauce was really good as well. The lobster is very prominent and you can tell they did not skimp. My fiancé got the lasagna and he loved it! The ambiance of the restaurant is really nice and romantic as well. The waiters were so pleasant and the service was very prompt. I would choose this over any of the new trendy italian spots that overcharge and underserve. read more

Best pizza in town. With a peak of the kitchen by the entrance, you can see the cooks making the pizzas. Always get greeted by everyone that comes in. The salad is good, and their fried zucchini....glass of wine, or lemonade...yum! Good ambience, makes you feel like you've gone to Italy by the music playing in the background (i.e. Andrea Bocelli, etc) having decor of grape vines all over the ceiling, very neat. It's nice to see small businesses like this coming back. read more

A very authentic italian place! There were some small tables outside and the ambience was very cozy even outside. The house special was super good. It was not greasy at all and you can definitely taste the extra cheese, I'm normally not a fan for the crusty but I finished my crust this time! Also got the cheese ravioli in pesto sauce. The pesto sauce was very rich and it was *chef's kiss* with the parmesan cheese. The complimentary garlic bread was also super good but I was too full from the pizza and ravioli to eat more! Make sure you park in the parking lot right in front of the store. This place also provide hand sanitizer near the cashier. read more
