I arrived at Campisi’s on Elm to have a good meal during a convention that every restaurant in the vicinity has a 45+ minute wait. I was not greeted when I walked in.
I had to go to the bar to ask how my experience at the place would be.
And the bartender had to get a waiter to come to my table. The water himself was actually a nice guy, asked about the convention in town and what it was and things like that. I ordered a very simple dish. Fettuccine Alfredo with chicken. The wait for my food did not take long at all, and even the server commented on how fast it was.
That should have been a red flag. When I got my order it looked a little small for portion and a little rushed on plating.
I first tasted a piece of chicken, which wasn’t too bad.
Nicely cooked, seasoned well… But when I got to the noodles and the sauce I wish I hadn’t.
The Alfredo sauce was runny and had no flavor.
I could make better Alfredo sauce.
The noodles were overcooked and tasted like water.
No amount of salt, pepper, and Parmesan cheese could help it. I told the waiter and the manager came forward asking me if I wanted something else.
I declined because I had lost my appetite.
I looked elsewhere for my now late dinner.

Campisi is situated in a busy and trendy part of downtown Dallas.
The lounge like atmosphere is inviting and comfortable.
We were a party of 3 on a busy Saturday night.
We were seated quickly and the waitstaff were initially very accommodating and helpful.
When it came time to take our order, the waiter had lost focus and was not able to remember what drinks or food orders he had put in for us.
While we did not wait long for our food, the waiter had no recollection of what we ordered and brought our 3 entrees at 3 separate times after bringing the incorrect dishes to the table twice.
After the food was delivered we were not checked on again and empty glasses not refilled.
It WAS busy, so all that could be forgiven.
What could not be forgiven was the food.
There was no discernible difference between what they distinguished as "red sauce" and "marinara".
My combo pasta plate arrived so heavily swamped in sauce that I initially could not see any pasta under the soupy mess.
The meatballs were bland.
The sauce was beyond mediocre.
The ravioli was actually gross.
I would never eat here again.

It's kind of an Italian buffet setting without the buffet.
You make your order at the counter.
The salad was soggy but tasty.
The lagsana was pretty bland but it was fine.
