Campisi's

Amazing food and amazing history to this place.
Don't miss the spaghetti with meatballs and meat sauce.
The history is actually astonishing here.
The First pizzeria in TX.
1st liquor license after prohibition.
1st Italian restaurant in TX.
Who's eaten here? Everybody who was somebody: Frank Sentara and the Rat Pack, mobsters, ALL the Cowboys, and past presidents.
Ask to see the former speakeasy next door.

My first time being here with my wife who’s from NY.
We both love the atmosphere, my wife says it kind of reminds her of some New York restaurants.
I haven’t been to New York but it did have that New York ambiance when you are seated in the front (main/club) dining room.
It’s a great place for a dinner date because of the low lighting making it feel more romantic and inviting.
Be sure to bring your reading glasses if you have poor vision to read the menu or you can do what I did and use the camera light on your phone. Our server Elizabeth was outstanding, friendly, helpful and completely courteous.
She made several trips to our table to make sure we had everything we needed and kept us informed about our order. I took a big chance in ordering the pasta combo with meat sauce topped with baked cheese.
(I was fasting all day) It was totally amazing and delicious.
It is a perfect combination of flavors in one plate.
It had spaghetti with one big meatball, a meat lasagna, and ravioli.
My wife ordered the Sirloin strip topped with Italian butter and mushrooms and side dish was cottage fries.
She absolutely loved it.
She mentioned that she hasn’t had a steak that tasted so good since leaving New York. We both were fasting for the day (Saturday) because we were busy and we knew that we would definitely be full but we were wanting to try the pizza so we ordered a medium pizza half mushroom half cheese to taste later in the day.
We didn’t eat it until the next day ( today) and we were not disappointed.
Even though it was the next day, it tasted like it was just made fresh out of the oven. I am from the DFW area, born and raised.
This is my first time to dine here and I regret not stopping here until now.
I highly recommend it.
It’s a great place even though parking is limited when it’s busy from what I could tell, regardless I do recommend going there for a date, taking the wife and kids, or just with friends. With two glasses of wine, a soft drink, the pasta combo, sirloin, and some Joe’s garlic toast, and medium pizza to go, my subtotal was just a little over $100.
Well worth it for me.

Conflicting opinions from our table.
My view was it was Not an outstanding food.
Salad was made with burned lettuce and it was not fresh.
My baked ravioli was tasteless.
On the other hand, My wife had an eggplant parmigiana that, in her words, was the best one she had.
I guess she will need to write her feedback to raise the stars I put here.
Environment was dark, table had music boxes that take at least 20% of the area, a real mess to accommodate 4 people.
Service was good.
