Our second time in this historic and very old Roman restaurant.
Came at opening time at 12:30 without a reservation (just like the first time but it is highly recommended) and got seated immediately with the tables being quickly occupied as patrons were trickling in. I had ample time to snap indoor photos of this establishment and I noticed that time stood still since we came here in October of 2019.
Our funny server got us the English menu of the day and I immediately ordered a glass of the house red which I distinctly remembered as enjoyably cheap. Out it came with a generous pour and I was cheek to cheek happy. My wife tried to order the Limoncello, but she got a naughty finger wagging no from our server as it was meant for "digestivo" or after meals
We ordered the Fritto Misto, Rigatoni alla Coda and Bistecca (cooked medium duh) and our boy got the Quattro Formaggi (four cheese pizza).
The Mixed Fried Seafood did as advertised and we were dreaming about it since we booked Italy.
The Oxtail Rigatoni was surprisingly delectable w/ the pasta cooked al dente.
The Steak was what I was expecting and still ranks in the top 10 steaks I've had. No A1 steak sauce needed.
Our boy inhaled his pizza and mind you, the cheese ingredients they use in Italy are way better that the States. Which is why we lovingly ask our son for little bites every time.
We ended the lunch with a Tiramisu and this sweet caffeine dessert capped another adventure here in La Campana.
Can't wait to go back. read more
