Campana

We stumbled upon this Italian gem on a Wednesday evening, and the experience was so delightful that we couldn't resist coming back on Saturday.
From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed and at ease in the cozy setting. Our waiter on Wednesday, Derek, was attentive and friendly, making us feel right at home.
The olives we started with were a revelation – bold and flavorful, setting the stage for an unforgettable meal.
On Saturday, Haleigh was our server, and she was equally knowledgeable and approachable.
She had spot-on recommendations that made our meal even better. The food was top-notch, easily some of the best Italian I've ever had.
The dishes were fresh, the pasta cooked to perfection, and the sauces were rich and nuanced.
Every bite was a celebration of authentic Italian flavors. Tim, the manager, made a point to come over and chat with us on both visits.
His personal touch and genuine interest in our experience made us feel valued and appreciated. This restaurant has quickly earned a special place in my heart.
The perfect balance of great food, friendly service, and a warm atmosphere make it a must-visit for anyone seeking an exceptional Italian dining experience. Note that we are vegan and had allergies and the staff were incredibly accommodating to this.
Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

I didn’t love campana unfortunately! I think it was very expensive for the experience and we didn’t love the food. We had some crispy polenta, a tuna ceviche special, the short ribs, the risotto, and a tiramisu and cannoli. The polenta was fine, nothing to write home about.
The tuna itself was delicious but it had these bulky beans that just rolled around the plate, the pieces of tuna were huge, and it wasn’t easy to eat.
The spare ribs were bad.
They were dry and tough, and not very flavorful unfortunately, we didn’t even eat the leftovers.
The risotto was good but again nothing to come back for, sadly.
The desserts were amazing, and the drinks were amazing. I was just super disappointed in the food! It was mediocre compared to the Italian food you can get in Portland.
The location is just enough out of the way that I don’t think I’ll come back.
If you live locally it would be lovely for happy hour and small plates at the bar.
Service was excellent and it was adorable inside. If you do go, stick to the pastas and small plates I think. I don’t like how they out a 3% charge on the bill for team health care.
Just say on your website you proudly pay for your team’s healthcare and adjust your pricing accordingly.
I think it’s incredibly rude to put on the bill. Otherwise I can’t really recommend it.

We would definitely recommend this restaurant! We were looking for a good Italian restaurant with a nice atmosphere, and this place was perfect! We ordered the lasagnette, roasted chicken Scarpariello , Caesar salad ( not my favorite salad, but still good), and the olives.
We also ordered the tiramisu (which was the best I have ever had), Wine and cocktails = all were great as well! Recommend this Restaurant!
