I've been meaning to try this place for a while and decided today is the day. And I'm so glad I did! I love everything about this place: the space, lighting, music, food, drinks. I especially appreciated the interesting artwork throughout the place as well as the Campana Manhattan that blends vermouth with my favorite amaro, Meletti. Of course, I started with the bread and olive oil. It was amazing. I swear that bread could feed an army! The arugula salad was delightful. And I greatly enjoyed the pasta puttanesca. The simple scoop of blackberry sorbet was a perfect end to a delightful meal. Service from everyone was terrific. I'm looking forward to returning. It's well worth the trek up here! read more

We went in for the Portland Dining Month special menu. We were given the regular menu and the Dining Month menus to choose from when we were seated. We both ordered from that menu. We expected portion sizes to be smaller due to the Dining Month menus. Nope. Portions were full sized which means they were very generous!!! read more

Why haven't we tried this sooner!! Love they take reservations as it is a bit of a drive for us. I got the shrimp risotto which was special as I never see risotto anywhere. It was amazing but heavy butter of course, so I should share in the future to be nice to my tummy. I could only eat half anyway as the portion was huge. Tasted great leftover. Husband had the ricotta ravioli and really enjoyed it. They had a nice Italian white wine with a generous pour. The owner is around helping and was very nice. So many other good looking items on the menu to come back and try. We should have tried the gelato for dessert but were stuffed. Very nice atmosphere and good service. read more

I travel for work so I came here very randomly with no reservation or any real idea of the popularity of this place and I'm lucky I got a seat at the bar! If you're making a plan to come out here definitely get a reservation. But I will say, I think sitting at the bar was definitely a lucky break. They have happy hour food and drinks at the bar all day long and, while I didn't drink, the deals on food were great. Definitely the best prices for portions on the happy hour menu. Honestly not sure if I'd be happy to pay full price for the quality and portions, so it's a good thing I sat at the bar I guess! I got the garlic bread and rigatoni with guanciale. Pasta was perfectly al dente and the guanciale was delicious (as usual) but other than that nothing really to write home about. The bread was PHENOMENAL, so thick and soft... but very lacking in the garlic of it all?! Had to take off an extra star for that unfortunately bc I am a garlic girl fr. One warning, if you do sit by the bar, you sit very close to the open kitchen... I walked out smelling very strongly of all the food they'd cooked in the time I'd been sitting there and those clothes are rotting somewhere in my suitcase making everything smell a little charred read more

After living in Chicago for so long, we've been spoiled with wonderful Italian food and we were in search of a new place with delicious house made pasta. We came across Campana and it did not disappoint! Great authentic flavors and love that they use local ingredients from the PNW. The cavatelli with pork ragu and whipped ricotta is a must. Atmosphere here is inviting and warm, they also have happy hour! read more

First time trying this place. I was in town and took my son and his new bride of 3 months to dinner here. They had been wanting to try it. Everything was delicious. The salad was one of the best I have ever had. We all loved it. The bread was divine too. Risotto had Gorgonzola and pear in it and was magnificent. Pork was very tender. Good meatballs. My son is a pastry chef and wanted to try their tiramisu. He thought it was very good. I like his better personally it has a different texture but this one is worth getting and so is the cannoli. I would definitely come back and would love to try their Happy Hour specials. 2 thumbs up. Service was excellent too! read more

This is a nice little place for a tasty bite. The menu wasn't huge, but there were several different options, including vegetarian ones to choose from. We ordered only a few items, including a glass of the house wine for that evening, which was delicious! We started with the meatballs that came with a hunk of garlic bread (that was my favorite part of the dish). The red sauce had good flavor, with the right amount of spice/herbs. However, the meatballs fell incredibly short. You could tell they were frozen at one point, but they were barely warm. One was even cold in the middle. The one I did have had reasonable flavor and overall the dish was good, minus the temp. The cavatelli dish was nice with the whipped ricotta. The ragu sauce was similar to that served with the meatballs and meshed well with the pork. Based on the few dishes we ordered, this place offers simple, yet appetizing dishes. read more

Campana kept popping up on lists of the best places to eat dinner in Portland, so we decided to give it a try. Though there were no reservations available online, I called, and the host was kind enough to accommodate us. The restaurant is spread across several levels and rooms, which makes for a somewhat unusual layout. We were seated next to a ramp on our level, and while the host was gracious, the service could use a little improvement. The staff repeatedly served us over the railing from the ramp instead of walking around to our table, which felt a bit lazy. That said, the bread was the highlight of the meal--absolutely to die for, and I don't usually rave about bread! We ordered the meatballs, and the bread that came with it was phenomenal. We also ordered from the happy hour menu (available until 6 p.m.), and when the bill came, we were pleasantly surprised at how affordable everything was. We tried the Amatriciana, Risotto, Penne Alla Vodka, and a glass of white wine. The noodles were cooked perfectly al dente, and while I enjoyed the pasta, it wasn't something I'd rush back for. Still, the overall experience was good, and for the price, it's definitely worth the visit. read more

Loved the tiramisu, fine balance of cream and coffee with chocolate. Light and fluffy. The meatballs are personal 2nd favorite. The sourdough bread that came with the meatballs warm and crispy on the edges. Nice place for friends gathering and dinner night out. Timely service with offering of water or sparkling at the beginning of seating. read more

This is a cute little Italian restaurant perfect for date night. The restaurant is small so it would be difficult to accommodate bigger parties. It gets busy so make reservations! The food is always delicious, staff are very professional and pleasant, there is indoor and outdoor seating, and the restaurant itself is beautiful inside. They also have a great happy hour menu. The regular menu is on the pricier side, so just be prepared beforehand. Everything we ordered was delicious, and everyone's favorites were the Cesar salad, lasagna, and cannoli. I didn't even know cannoli could taste as good as there's does! Pro tip: come early on a Wednesday if you like lasagna. It's the Wednesday special and it sells out fast! read more

My wife and I ate here with some of our friends to take advantage of Portland Dining Month. This was the last of four restaurants we tried during the month and it was absolutely the best! The food was delicious, the portions were generous and the service was excellent. They offered several choices for our $35 three-course meal. I chose a Caesar salad, sausage and peppers served on a bed of polenta and a cannoli for dessert. My wife chose a meatball marinara appetizer, fusilli with vodka sauce and two scoops of gelato for dessert. Our friends all enjoyed their meals, as well. This was the first time I've been to Campana, but I will definitely be back to try some of their other dishes. read more

I ordered the tagliatelle alle vongole with a bit of hesitation, my last experience with this dish was in Venice, Italy and oddly enough, it was awful. I even joked with the server that I hoped Campana could bring my trust back into this dish and they completely blew me away. The pasta was tender, the white clam sauce rich but balanced, and that sofrito bianco with gremolata was perfection. Easily the best tagliatelle alle vongole I've ever had. On top of that, our server was incredibly nice and charming, which made the whole experience even better. Warm service, beautiful atmosphere, and unforgettable food Campana you nailed it. Molto buono, tornero per mangiarne ancora. read more

The pasta was pretty good, basil lemonade was excellent! The house salad was simple yet delicious. We ordered the garlic bread, and were disappointed to see that for $7, it is just one single slice of a standard loaf of bread cut in half. I would definitely advise anyone to skip the garlic bread! Not worth it at all. Aside from that, a very enjoyable experience with a cozy upscale atmosphere. read more

We found this restaurant on Yelp and thought we'd try it out as we're passing through Portland. Amazing! Ian, our waiter was incredible. He was really friendly and knowledgeable anout the food and wines. We had a 4 cheese ravioli special, and roasted chicken, preceded by the caesar and spring salads, followed by desserts of sorbet with prosecco and vanilla gelato. We had a beautiful Riparosso red wine, followed by Amaro, and a wonderful scotch. Incredible inside and outdoor dining. read more

We got there early so it wasn't that busy, so the food came very quickly, too quickly I would say! It was a rare date night without my kids and the restaurant just didn't have a very charming ambiance and the whole experience flew by too fast. The pastas were so overly salted it was a challenge to eat it all. Thus the overall sauce flavors were not impressive. read more

Thanks to Instagram I found your restaurant. I was up in the air about where to go for my birthday, finding you was a godsend. The atmosphere was upbeat and happy. The servers were awesome and willing to help as much as possible. We arrived early so we didn't expect to be seated immediately but were. The food is fresh, simple and very good. My partner and I got the chicken liver pâté, arugula salad and meatballs. The pâté was out of site. Probably one of the best bites of the year. The salad was so simple and so tasty. The meatballs were juicy and flavorful. Our entree's were the Tagliatelle and Cavatelli. The pasta was cooked perfectly and I must say as good as the tagliatelle was I would get the cavatelli. The cavatelli is so good. The flavor is deep and the pasta soaks all the flavor up. Dessert was tiramisu and cannoli. All I can say is, either one will make you happy. Don't forget your coffee or espresso. Overall this was a great night. Thank you for a wonderful birthday dinner. No your staff didn't know because I don't like to advertise my age. Lol. read more

The Woodlawn neighborhood is an afternoon date neighborhood. Campana is a part of that reason. Service is most excellent! Smiley, poised & good vibes from all the staff. Our waitress knew the menu to detail and was so kind to go through popular entrees and personal recommendations. Drinks were tasty! Interesting indoor setting ~ a little chic yet chillaxed feel. Come here with the loved one. Everything was delicious. You will be full of good food & experience. read more

Drinks and service was really good! Love the refreshing Italian inspired cocktails. My cavatelli pasta had a good mix of flavors. However my partners tagliatelle was very disappointing, he did have to make dairy free substitutions which may have impacted the flavor heavily. Overall tastes like homemade pasta you can make at home but with a bougie spunky vibe read more

Had my birthday dinner here because I was craving Italian cuisine. Here's the dealio: the host was very welcoming and very kind, and so was our waitress Bonnie. She was helpful with the drink suggestions, and remembered my partner stating "you pick since it's your birthday", and gave a complimentary dessert so thank you Bonnie! The food was delicious, and the appetizer special of the day was bomb! I really loved it. The only thing though is with the Raviolini al Peperoncino... I feel like the portion given for $28 was not worth it even though it was very yummy. I'm actually very surprised how much the whole dinner cost considering I've lived in the Bay Area before where everything is VERY expensive. And something I've never seen before... a "Team Health Care (3.00%)" charge?! I've heard of restaurants do that before but actually really seeing it applied is so shocking. Crowd sourcing your employees healthcare instead of just paying it for them is crazy, especially considering how expensive the meals are; y'all can't even pay your employees healthcare?! Smh. read more

Campana had been on my list of places to try for a long time and I'm so glad I finally made it. Each dish was delicious, the cavatelli and spare ribs were stars, and our drinks were all tasty as well. It was a cute spot with friendly service, and made for a great date night. read more

Great food, bad service. Noodles undercooked, asked for a surprise from the menu, was given spaghetti & would've rather made it at home than spend $30 for a rushed dinner meal read more

I arrived a bit early to meet my family. I was warmly invited to our reserved table and offered the menu. Remembering how I loved Aperol Spritz cocktails while in Italy. I ordered one as I waited. It did not disappoint! Once our group was ready we each we each chose different entrees. I ordered the Tagliatelle with clam sauce. It was a large serving, very freshly made plentiful either steamer clams. It was a big enough portion to have a second serving the next day- a bonus! We all enjoyed our meals and will definitely return! read more

This is a cute little place in portland! The inside is decorated nicely, has a few tables, and has garage like windows. The service was fast and our waiter was very nice. When they gave us the wrong pasta order, he brought us the right pasta and let us take the other order home. I would definitely come for happy hour since prices are a little expensive. We got the garlic bread, green salad, and arribiatta to start. - The garlic bread is expensive considering its only one slice of bread and I wish there was more garlic. - they gave us the Amatriciana at first and that was alright, the Arribiatta was much better! - the green salad was simple but good and it was a large poriton! For entrees we got the roasted chicken, short rib, and Pork Ragu. All three dishes were good! - the chicken was well cooked and the flavor was great! However, I'm personally not a fan of bone in chicken and this was a whole half of chicken, so there were a lot of bones. - the pork ragu flavor was good, but we were not fans of the pasta. It looked like like smaller gnocchi, but the texture was a lot more gummy. - the short rib was also very good! Our dish did come with polenta sticks and we didn't like those as much. Overall, this restaurant is great and I'd come back for happy hour! read more
