Went here for the first time for a wine paired dinner. The restaurant is small and intimate. The event was fun. The food and wine were great. We will be back. read more

Fantastic little dive for great food as authentic as it gets in the US. People are great and it feels very family oriented, with lots of regulars. Make sure to call ahead, with limited seating you'll want to set reservations. read more

better than italy westside hidden gem save room for dessert - the best cheesecake will stroll out satisfied try the via vecchia wine go there read more

Delicious home made Italian food. Simple but delicious with interesting ingredient twists.

Now that Il Bacio is gone from the Little Italy neighborhood this is my number one recommendation for date night if you want Italian. Super small joint only open a few days. It is NOT overrated, it is fantastic. If you are looking for a place to rub your shoulders and treat you like a five star restaurant, that is NOT why you should go here. You go for the amazing home cooked food and delicious house wines. An amazing spot that is quite shockingly located in the West Suburbs! read more

Absolutely the most amazing dining experience! Great family owned place with the best meal I've ever had in my life. There is no menu, which is neat. Dont be in a rush. This is the kind of meal you need to slow down and enjoy. Its a small place so you might need to call ahead. We lucked out and walked in and got a table. I can't say enough. Just down right fantastic! read more

Nothing short of perfection. This down home little gem is what real Italian cuisine is all about. Great food, great wine, bella famiglia!

My favorite Italian restaurant in Clevelland! Portions are just right and the food is always A1 quality.

A dining experience like few others. Family owned and operated and like everything Italian it is always about La Familia! La Campagna is the most unpretentious, very small, upscale restaurant, featuring an authentic trattoria experience. No standard menu, just what the chef/owner's inspired vision and fresh ingredients produce --- except for the one standard staple, Eggplant Parmesan. A feathery light, and flavorful mix of flash fried eggplant and a fresh light tomato sauce that combines for a classic Italian dish. Whatever Carm prepares for the night you can count on two things. Each dish will be prepared with attention to detail, and an expression of love for authentic Italian fare. Seafood is fresh and combined with pasta as varied as squid ink linguini, or pappardelle with champagne sauce or a light, tomato broth. Try the veal, it is truly "the best in town." Everything in between is a delight to all five senses --- the sight, the smell, and taste, in both texture and flavor. And with each bite you will hear the oohs and aahs from your companions and those at the tables nearby. E' Sempre Molto Buona! read more

First, I have to say that the food here is amazing! However, on our first and only visit, we were seated at one of the two tables for 8 guests, and that one happened to be near the front door on a very cold winter Saturday night. I asked if we could have the other table and our server gave me some idiotic explanation about not being able to move parties of different sizes! 8=8 the last time I looked! Anyway, I tried to let it go but then we had to go through 12-15 menu items without a hard copy in front of us, so she had to repeat the items several times; insult was added to injury when no one had any idea what the prices were for the entrees. So, in the end, even though we all had amazing meals, we were shocked at the cost AND felt as though we weren't very important guests - in fact, it appeared that the other table for 8 was saved for friends or a more familiar clientele. Service is every bit important as the food, and this place severely lacks the former. read more

Went in and discovered a tiny little place with lots of stuff all over the place. Two older gentlemen and an older lady who all appeared to work there were in the back area mixing and drinking what looked to be Bloody Mary's. A younger woman led me to a table, took my drink order, waited on everyone else and finally was able to bring me the one menu in the whole place on a chalkboard. Some appetizers that didn't seem appetizing and the 10 pound board was then turned to display the entrees, all 7 of them and the only sauce options for pasta was marinara and Alfredo. Really! I took note of the large unorganized shelf unit blocking the kitchen area and the table full of unlabeled bottles of red something and papers everywhere and the staff all standing around with cocktails on their hands. Decided my best menu option was another restaurant. I left. read more

La Campagna is the best hidden gem I've found in the city of Cleveland thus far. Located in Westlake in a small shopping center, you would never know what you're about to get yourself into when you step inside. There are maybe 8-10 tables in the entire restaurant. There are wine bottles from all areas of the world that line the walls. They sell them at wholesale value. Due to the fact that they have a "tasting" license, they cannot leave the bottle at the table so when you're ready for a refill, they bring the bottle over and pour you more. We started with the buffala mozzarella as our appetizer. If you have never tried buffalo, you are missing out on life. When you cut it into it, the milk juices ooze out. It's the creamiest, tastiest mozzarella cheese. It came served caprese style, with basil and tomatoes along with bread on the side. For my main dish, I had the eggplant parmesan. I strongly recommend getting this. It's the best eggplant parm I've ever had!! The eggplant was cut very thinly and was perfectly cooked. The sauce has good taste with just the right amount of herb to tomato ratio. A must try! We were too full after all of this for dessert, but I'm sure that they're all very good as well. read more

Stopped by on a Thursday by myself around 1800 ... place is small ... there were four diners and a waitress and a heavy set guy, perhaps a waiter ... stood by the door for about five minutes and Mr. Heavy Set who wasn't doing much of anything wanders over and asks if i have a reservation ... replied that no, i did not ... "ahhh well then we can't ..." he says as i stare at all the empty tables ... ah, okay, maybe they get crowded later and the whole place fills ... heard the food was good, but Mr. Heavy Set's attitude clearly said he could care less ... won't bother going back read more

Went there because all the reviews for this place are great. Its is very small inside maybe 15 tables. The flood was great. Everything we ate was very fresh. I will definitely go back! read more

Here's the deal - don't go if you want slick service. Don't go if you want a typical corporate restaurant atmosphere. Don't go if you are not willing to pay a little extra for fresh, local, quality ingredients. Go to La Campagna if you want authentic, honest-to-God homemade Italian food. The last time I had food this good was in Sicily. Carmella is the chef and owner and her pasta dishes are the best you will have in Cleveland. read more

I think it was overpriced for what it is. Food was good but expensive. I had chicken with olives and my sister had linguine and clams. We had appetizers and a bottle of wine and split a dessert. Total was $130.00. I think you can do better. read more

We found this place on yelp and thought we would give it a try. Sat at the table for over 5 minutes without anyone even offering water. There were only 3 other tables who already had their food. We left and went to carraba's which is always excellent! read more

ok so I'm not one to write up reviews but i really felt inclined after experiencing this restaurant. this is the second time i have been here and i have to say this is THE BEST Italian place in ohio. i would've given it 5 stars if not for their odd decor but the food is to die for. the menu changes from day to day depending on what is fresh at the market it seems. i had their linguini and clams which is amazing and their buffalo chhese and stuffed jalepeno apps. delish! read more

Absolutely awesome home Italian cooking! My wife and I have been here several times and the food is fabulous; as close to home cooked Italian as it gets. You must make reservations and the place is hard to find, but well worth it! read more

We had the most enjoyable time at La Campagne this evening. The food was delicious (I had the buffalo mozzarella and eggplant Parmesan and my husband a pesto chicken pasta) and the family atmosphere was even more delightful. The service was very friendly and we truly felt we ate at a friends home. We will surely come back - maybe for a wine night! Thanks Carmella, Kelly and team. You were great. read more

This is the best Italian restaurant in town !!! Family atmosphere and the best Eggplant parmesan period !! We have been going for years. My sister relocated to Texas so we have to ship her Carmella's famous dishes. Why I know the owners name ? because its that friendly !! My family is second generation Sicilians and my mom hates everything when it comes to going out to eat. Moms dish is always clean after taking her here. Yes it cost more than a chain but you get what you pay for !!! read more

What a fantastic find! My husband and I heard about this place from a friend and were so pleased we tried it. It's a small little place that read us their menu as the items change daily. The chef came out to check on our meals and the service was very friendly. Good food and good times. Well worth the trip! read more

Wow. WOW! In this unassuming little strip mall in Westlake, OH- truly a gem. One of those meals we will not soon forget. The food is spectacular. The service is personal and exceptional (without being over the top.) Do call ahead- we almost missed out on this incredible meal because we didn't think we'd need a reservation on a Tuesday night. You WILL. We only got in by the kindness of Carmella (owner and chef). This meal will cost you a tad more (97.00 for two without dessert)- but it will be so much better than a meal you might pay 75.00 for...its worth it. Probably makes sense to order a bottle of wine (rather than by the glass). If the roasted beet salad is on the menu, get it (two can share). And I can't really resist linguini and white clams sauce, and I am thankful for that weakness tonight: one of the best renditions ever. This place is worth going out of your way for. read more

Absolutely incredible! Once you get past the strip center location (with no sign on the building) and the outdated decor, you are in for a real treat! We loved that there was no menu or wine list. Everything was communicated by our server. She recommended a fabulous wine and our food was spectacular. We can't wait to go back to La Campagna again. read more

Excellent authentic Italian food, as good as it gets. Everything is made to order, so sit back, relax, have a glass of wine and anticipate one of the finest meals you will have in Cleveland or anyplace else. read more

One detail I over-looked while planning a wedding was a gift for out-of-town guests. At the very last minute (like, 3 days before the event) I stopped into this store in a panic hoping they might be able to help! And WOW was I glad I stopped in!!!! I was greeted with a friendly face and an amazingly helpful individual who gave me some basic info about what could be done with regard to gift baskets. The choices were immense and so she simply asked for a budget so she could tailor her recommendations accordingly. We said "$25 per basket" and she said "OK". No hustling or suggesting a higher price point. Rather, she put together a simply PERFECT package that looked like it cost closer to $100. It included a nice bottle of wine, crackers with a fancy looking spread, nuts, and chocolate among other things and placed into a beautiful little basket (I wish I new how to put a picture on here) AND was delivered BEFORE our wedding day. I also smelled the food while planning our wedding favors and will definitely be going back for more. THANK YOU, La Campagna, for saving me some serious wedding stress and for delivering such a perfect and well put together item for our guests. read more

La Campagna - They create gift baskets too!!! (And do an amazing job for a reasonable price!) - Italian Near Me - Westlake, Ohio

Disappointed for the second time! The people that work there are not friendly and you have to ask for everything because they don't check back with you. They only serve a 2 oz. glass of "tasting" wine. There is no wine list or pricing for bottles of wine unless you flag someone down and ask. By the way, if you order a bottle they won't bring it to your table and leave it. The food is good but not great for $25-$28 an entree. Too many great places nearby that make you feel they're glad you're there! Hope this place sinks with all the new competition. read more

We recently had a wedding rehearsal dinner there for our son. We had the restaurant for the evening. The staff made everyone feel special. The food was exceptional, eggplant parmesan, salads, sausage/peppers and onions, pasta, and a pastry dessert tray to die for. We live in Columbus and have 2 more sons yet to be married. I told my husband it would be worth driving to Westlake to have dinners there again. I would highly recommend it, either for dining in the evening or a special event. read more

Only Italian restaurant I'll visit. They actually have real tasting wine from a winery call Via Vecchia (well, tastes like I remember it should). read more

We had dinner at LaCampagna last night and it was absolutely one of the best dinner experiences I've had in a very long time! The wine, the appetizers, eggplant parmigiana- it all was great. I truly didn't have room for dessert - but the choices were hard to resist. Carmella - owner/chef came over after dinner and all of us had a really nice conversation. We will definitely go back. read more

My wife and I frequently dine out and in all of our dining experiences this was the most disappointing. We love to support local restaurants and chefs so we dined with some friends at La Campagna and were looking forward to some great Italian home cooking but we were sadly disappointed. First the service was especially poor. They have no full time waitresses so a couple of nice ladies from the kitchen stop by... very infrequently... to see how things are going. Because they only have wine "tasting"portions of 2-3 oz some times we waited 10 minutes for our glasses to be refreshed. No refresh of water. etc. The atmosphere is cozy but dated. The women's washroom was smelly, dirty and had a shower! Of course none of this would matter much if you have a wonderful meal. Waited forever for some bread which was tasteless with foil butter packets. The house salad is small and lifeless. All the meals we ordered were average at best and some much below. Their signature dish "Eggplant Parmesan" was flat and not close to being acceptable. Way too much sauce on the pasta - which is not home made, etc. Bottom line is La Campagna is old, dirty, over priced with average fair delivered with poor service. Sorry... I feel very badly because everyone there was nice and friendly this is a local restaurant that needs to close and reinvent itself. Please do yourself a favor and pass this by. read more

Oh my goodness...what a delight to find this place. My husband and I got there on the early side, thank goodness! All tables had reserved signs, but the server kindly put us at a table. Next time we will make reservations. My husband had a red pepper pasta with shrimp and an oil sauce, and I had the fig and mascarpone ravioli. Both delicious!! Salads of mixed greens, tomatoes and cucumbers - mine with an orange hazelnut dressing - oh so good! Everything was so fresh and delicious. We also had dessert - good choice! Lemon blueberry layer cake, and a lemoncello gelato. Absolutely scrumptious! The prices were a little higher than we have paid in the area but the food was so much better than elsewhere...worth every penny. We have tried a lot of Italian restaurants in the area and this beats anything, even Little Italy. We will be back! The live music was nice too - people in the restaurant were singing along - don't find that too often! The decor was a little dated, but we were there for the food, and the place is so small and quaint that it has its own charm. read more
