Campagnolo

Ambiance was great, but food was mediocre for the price.
Apps:
Burrata cheese — great flavour combo with the toasted grapes. This was my favourite app of the ones we ordered.
Frisee — pretty ordinary salad, maybe a tad overseasoned.
Baguettes and gougeres — baguettes were nice and warm, but the gougeres weren’t.
Mains:
Spaghetti — this was my favourite of the mains. Chewy texture and sauce had hint of spicyness to it.
Agnolotti — flavours were varied and interesting. Sweetness from the beets was a good touch.
Gnocchi — wasn’t a huge fan of the consistency of the gnocchi. It was also way too salty with all the cheese and proscuitto.
Dessert:
Torta with rosemary and poached clementines — this was probably my favourite part of the meal. Dense-​ish cake with hints of rosemary, in a biteful with fluffy yogourt, pecan, and clementine.
Overall, while I really enjoyed the ambiance, I found the food pricey for what it was, the portions were small, and the service sub-​par.

— 4.5 —
Food and ambiance is perfection. Great for date night.
The menu changes quite frequently and their website is pretty up to date so check it out if you’d like an idea of what they’re currently serving. Things will come and go but it seems that the Burrata Cheese, the Roasted Bone Marrow and the House-​Made Spaghetti are signature items that will always be available for your indulgence. Thankfully.
Burrata Cheese ($ 16) — Outstanding. I really didn’t know what to expect but this dish went above and beyond anything I had imagined. The cheese was so fresh and creamy perfectly combined with the roasted grapes and toasted bread. Makes me drool just thinking about it. ⁵⁄₅
Roasted Bone Marrow ($ 14) — Delicious and well-​portioned. More meaty and substantial than many restaurants I’ve been to. The oxtail was tender and the bone marrow was nice and fatty. ⁵⁄₅
House-​Made Spaghetti All’Amatriciana ($ 19) — Perfectly al dente. One of the best spaghetti I’ve ever had. Super fresh and so much flavour but I wish the portion was a little bigger. Well worth the $ 19 nonetheless. ⁵⁄₅
Tagliatelle with Duck Ragu ($ 23) — The least memorable one for me but that’s probably because I’m not a huge fan of anything ragu. My boyfriend who is less bias said the duck lacked a bit of flavor and the dish overall was slightly on the saltier side but it wasn’t that bad. Tagliatelle was still nice and firm. ³⁄₅
Seared Red Snapper ($ 28) — They did a great job with the snapper. Nice and crisp on the exterior but the inside is soft and juicy. Mussels were a nice addition along with the saffron potatoes and roasted pepper fondue. Solid dish. ⁴⁄₅
Salted Caramel Budino ($ 9) — Loved that this was not overly sweet or salty. The pudding was light and creamy and the chocolate meringue is in small chunks so it adds a nice texture. ⁴⁄₅
Hazelnut Torta ($ 10) — A bit too sweet for me but I believe the gelato is dark chocolate which really helps lessens it. Definitely recommend getting some tea or coffee with this one. ³⁄₅
Service fell short. For a restaurant at this level, I was rather disappointed. It was so standard as our server essentially gave us menus, took our orders and gave us our food. Perhaps it was just our particular server because I noticed other tables were waited by much more attentive, enthusiastic and engaged staff. So I’ll give Campagnolo the benefit of a doubt and award it the full 5 stars here because I really do feel the food deserves it. But as for my own particular experience, it was only 4.5.

We stumbled onto this restaurant by accident, but I’d rather call it fate. What a great dinner. Such a diverse menu considering it’s an Italian restaurant. The bone marrow appetizer was definitely something to come back for. We ordered a variety of entrees as well, but I have to say I can’t stop thinking about the spaghetti, it was executed perfectly, fresh, light, delicious. The service and ambiance was also great. Nice crowd, dim lighting, and beautiful presentation. Definitely a special occasion spot.

My wife and I visit Campagnolo regularly and we are happy to say that it is our favourite restaurant. We’ve only had Chef’s tasting menu and there has never been any disappointment with any of their dishes. From the bread to the dessert, every step of the way has been small bits of happiness adding to one big one. My wife’s favourite is the burrata cheese with warm grapes and my favourite is the perfectly prepared al dente spaghetti. $ 60/​person is a great value for the quality of the meal and pleasant evening you’ll have at Campagnolo’s.

Pork belly and pasta is delicious. Service is not great. Stay away from their pork shank. It came out cold on the inside and after being sent back, it still remained cold. The server didn’t take the pork off the bill. For a place like this, I would expect excellent customer service.

Love this place. To die for, portions are small but the flavours are wonderful. You don’t leave feeling uncomfortably stuffed but as if your floating on a cloud with just the right amount of everything. My fave is the mozzarella with grapes seared in garlic butter. Mmmmmm

Food, service and environment was pretty good! Fun date night spot or dinner with friends. We shared the Crispy Pork Belly (extremely tasty) as an appetizer and for my main dish i had Tagliatelle (pasta w/​butter and white truffles).
Our server was helpful and even provided a free mini dessert at the end of our meal.

Campagnolo restaurant on Dundas St., West was such a pleasure and a refreshing change from the Torontol scene. It’s definitely a destination place and not so much a neighborhood haunt. They make fresh bread pipping hot and crusty and fresh cultured butter that is served piping hot fresh from the oven. I had the hamachi Crudo (yellowfin tuna flank) and the red snapper which was crispy on the outside and melting with tenderness and moisture in the inside along with a side of sautéed kale.
The Buratta was served with sautéed grapes and drizzled with this succulent buttery olive oil from Portugal. The lamb was perfectly cooked medium rare and right in front of us at the chefs table which is probably the best seat in the house if you want dinner theater and a romantic table at the same time. The wines were very good with long finishes and well balanced. Including the Prosecco, the Pinot Gris from Willamette and the super Tuscan. And saucy person that I am I asked for a tasting of each one of their desserts… I don’t have a sweet tooth but I definitely ate my share and didn’t complain! Dinner was $ 285 tip and tax included for two people. I gave a 25% tip because the waiter was second to none & I Loved how he didn’t constantly come by fetching for compliments. Shows he has a lot of confidence in the food. My Visa card was standing to attention… ;-)

Start to finish, my experience at Campagnolo was both consistent and enjoyable. They seem to focus on putting forth a smaller but carefully selected menu. Kind of reminds me of Woodlot to be honest, but IMO Campagnolo executes better. The apps were tasty — house made Baguette & Gougères and Bone Marrow. The main courses of braised rabbit pappardelle and Lamb shank followed up nicely. And the Salted Caramel Budino will leave you licking the you spoon. As a beer snob, I appreciated having a couple of craft/​imported options. The atmosphere was modern and hip but not trying too hard, and the service was great.
I recommend this place and look forward to coming back.

Had high hopes for this spot but was quite disappointed. Servers seemed nervous or out of it, food was mediocre at best, and the music choice was very odd.

We started with the fresh burrata cheese with roasted grapes & toasted bread. Although it didn’t look stunning, the combination of the fresh cheese and roasted grapes along with the crunchiness of the toasted bread was delicious.
For the main course, my date had the pappardelle with rabbit bolognese, rapini, and grana padano. I had the house-​made spaghetti all’amatriciana. Both pastas were delicious, and the all’amatriciana is probably the best I’ve had in Toronto to date. Perfectly al dente, fresh flavours, well presented, I couldn’t have asked for more.
To finish, we shared the pistachio frangipane tart with poached plums and sabayon ice cream. It was a pleasant surprise to find that the tart base seemed to be freshly baked (still warm), yet the ice cream on top of the tart remained cold and intact. I love fresh plums, but the poached plum was a bit too prune-​like for my taste. Regardless, I would definitely recommend it.
The service was excellent, the server was attentive and polite without any pretention. She recommended a wine to go with our entrees, replaced our cutlery after the appetizer, and also replaced our tea light when it burned out.
Though we visited late on a Monday night, the place was bustling and the majority of tables were occupied, which is always a good sign. The restaurant was dimly lit and very cozy without the need to shout over neighboring conversations. The atmosphere definitely sets the mood for a romantic date or intimate dinner with friends. The only downside was that there seemed to be a slight draft coming from an unknown source but as we were seated by the window, we assumed it might just be the proximity to the exterior.
Overall rating: 4.5 stars

Great spot and love how they change the menu up daily. I had the spaghetti and meat sauce when I went and it was absoultly amazing. The restaurant had a charming vibe to it. Cant wait to go there again and try something new.

I’m typically easy to please w/​food and I’m the type that will eat absolutely anything. Based on the reviews I was expecting to have a great meal. The restaurant itself and the staff were great. The food though, was extremely disappointing. Even more so when you consider the cost scale of the menu.
My party & I ordered the peach arugula salad and the roasted bone marrow to start. The peach arugula salad was not great. The peaches were meant to be grilled, they definitely had the grill marks but I don’t think they were actually grilled or ripe. I personally didn’t get a taste of the pesto supposedly in the salad either. No one complained about the bone marrow but it was nothing special.
We then had four of their main dishes. The only one that passed taste wise was the sweet corn agnolotti although a little under seasoned. My dish was very under seasoned and bland. The other two were just okay. I agree with some reviewers about portion sizes. My dish’s portion size was good for me, but some of the people I was with left unsatisfied.
Not sure if this was an off night for the chef or what happened there but it’s very surprising seeing all the excellent reviews.

I’d been here once before closer to when it opened but I didn’t remember it being this good. I had the sweetcorn agnolotti and it was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. I couldn’t fault it. My friend’s dish was equally good. When I got home I asked some of my foodie friends if they’d been here and they confirmed that they agree it is one of the best restaurants in the city. They recommended the Burrata (which I haven’t tried). I think it is safe to say everything at this place would be delicious.
The service was good but I was surprised how long a glass of wine and bread took to get to our table. My friend ordered her wine at the same time as her meal and the meal actually came out before the wine… we had to remind the server that the full glass of wine sitting on the bar was likely for her. The bread took about 10 minutes to arrive. I saw it sitting on the counter for quite a while and had to remind the server that I wanted the bread. However, the server was very nice.

Campagnolo is my favourite restaurant in the city without a doubt. The décor is stunning and the food is absolutely phenomenal, it blows me away every time. The menu is small and changes all the time so go often and try everything. I’ve never had anything there that I didn’t absolutely love –not just like, love every bite. Don’t even second guess yourself just go.

The food here is simply ridiculous. Every bite left me giggling from joy. Maybe it was all the whiskey, or our lovely waitress Jessi but the fact of the matter is you are guaranteed a fantastic meal if you dine here.
Highlights: Chefs Table, Gorgeous Patio, Delicious Cocktails
Carpaccio, Burrata, Bone Marrow

What a charming spot. We sat at the chef’s bar (highly recommended) and indulged in the following: Burratta, Steak Tartare, Bone Marrow and the Gnocchi. For dessert, we got the Budino to go and it didn’t last long enough for a photo. Everything was delicious.
Jessie, our server, was the sweetest ever with top notch suggestions for food and drink. Campagnolo for the win, folks!

I’ve bookmarked this restaurant for quite a while after reading about it on Unilocal last year. But did not get the chance to trek into Little Italy until recently. I made reservations and upon arrival, was greeted by a friendly and warm host.
The restaurant was dimmed and intimate. Very romantic and perfect for date night. After reading about the roasted grapes, I knew I had to try it. And it did not disappoint. The middle of the cheese was warm and soft and we got extra bread so we can dip it up. The olive oil they used was also yum.
For our mains, we got the lasagna and the cavatelli. Both were pretty decent but did not wow. My cavatelli was not fully cooked through and I got lots of undercooked bite to it. The flavour was great though.
And those who know me know that the look of a venue’s restaurant is huge in my books so I am very pleased to tell you, this restaurant has the cleanest and nicely decorated bathroom in any restaurant I’ve been to downtown. The fruits and passion cucina handsoap is a very nice touch. Love it!
If this place wasn’t such a trek I think I’d visit more but since it’s out of the way, it may be awhile before I revisit. However, they do change up their menu frequently so I heard… sooooo if I end up reading about another dish that wowed, I’m going to have to make another trek downtown :)

Ok, nothing special, I found it a tad pricey for the quality and quantity you pay for. The bone marrow was alright, the cheesy bread didn’t have much taste nor cheese in it. The spaghetti and rabbit pappardelle were both with fresh pasta and tasted decent, however it was nothing special. At the end, we felt that for the price we paid could have gone a long way somewhere else. Décor was low lighting, comforting, not too loud, could be a great date spot.

This past weekend I had the pleasure of dining at campagnolo, and let me tell you, what a treat it was.
I was nervous because I tried to get dinner reservations via open table for the restaurant all weekend with no luck. Since we were in the area day drinking, I figured I would stop on by and see if I could get a seat at the bar. Was greeted by a lovely host who immediately sat us outside– and since it was a bit chilly, he offered a blanket! The nicest touch!
We started out the evening with the Burrata cheese appetizer, which I guess stays on their menu all the time (the restaurant switches most menu items but the Burrata has stood the test of time!) — I can see why. It was the most delicious and creamy cheese I’ve ever had, and it was accompanied by roasted grapes which were divine!
For my entrée, I had the eggplant Parmesan. Not usually a dish I would get because it’s heavy, but decided to share the entrée with my significant other. For a guy who never likes eggplant– he loved it! And so did i! The eggplant was lightly breaded, the ricotta cheese wasn’t caked on, and the sauce was delicious!
Besides the food, the ambiance and staff were spectacular and they have quite a nice wine selection! I’ll definitely be back on my next trek to TDot!
