Campisi's Restaurant - Half salad with grilled shrimp - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

A friend and I decided to eat here one afternoon for lunch to catch up and this place is just OK. There's nothing spectacular there. Nothing that stands out but the food was decent. They do have lunch using lunch specials if you're into that I honestly will not come here for dinner time because the food wasn't worth a dinner date but for lunch special it is OK. read more

Yuck. Waited for delivery for 1 hour 45 minutes- over an hour longer than the delivery estimated in their website when I ordered. Pizza was undercooked and absolutely flavorless. This is the last time I will ever order Campisis, it has gone dramatically downhill. read more

Had dinner here with a group of 16. We showed up 30 minutes before closing and the staff were all great! They didn't give us a hard time or rush us and were very accommodating. Each of us got our own receipts - no problem. Our waitress Kavan was wonderful! . We were in Dallas for a conference and she made great recommendations. I had the Cali Pizza and Greek salad. Both were delicious If you've never been, you gotta try it. read more

We were walking around the area where our hotel was and ran across Campisi's. I had not eaten there since my daughter was playing select soccer 20 years ago. We walked in and were seated immediately. Our waiter was very nice and came over quickly to take our drink and food order. We ordered the toasted ravioli and of course their pizza. It was very packed inside, but we were able to carry on a conversation perfectly fine. The ravioli was good, but it didn't look very appetizing when it came out. There were six very small ones on our plate. Don't get me wrong, they were very good, they just needed to be bigger. Next .... The PIZZA!!!!! We love a thin crust pizza and this one is sooooo good. We got a medium with pepperoni, mushrooms, and jalapeños. It was just like how I remembered it. Absolutely delish. We weren't even able to finish half of it so of course we had to take the rest to the hotel! Even cold it has to be one of the best pizzas we have had in a while. I am so glad we stopped. read more

Food and service were amazing . 10/10 recommend! From the appetizer to the main dish , it was delicious

Food was on par with any average Italian restaurant in any city USA, except New York or Chicago which both have excellent Italian food. But for Dallas, it's acceptable. Not gonna write home about it, but I would eat there again. Service was good. It seemed clean. Location is easy access if you're in downtown Dallas. Right next to the giant eyeball. It was short walking distance from my hotel. Ambience was typical of what you would expect in a smaller family owned Italian restaurant, which made it believable. We sat at a table in the bar area and it was relatively quiet. Of course it was a Tuesday evening at 5:30 PM so not the busy time of the evening. I'll give them a solid C+ to B- read more

The pizza is still pretty freaking delicious, I didn't like the salad last time and thought I would like it this time.. I still don't like it!!! The pizza makes up for it though. I enjoy the dark ambiance of the restaurant, with the beautiful candle lit tables. The service is 10/10 as everyone who works there treats you like family as soon as you walk in. read more

Might be the best pizza I've ever had. Perfectly crispy all the way through, not burnt. We like crispy pizza, though. We also had a salad that was good but we ate it before I could take a pic, lol. Highly recommend!! Very reasonably priced and good location. Great ambiance and atmosphere. read more

Worst location I've been to. Staff not welcoming or friendly; never asked how our meal was; never asked if we needed anything else. Toast, Calamari, and 3 orders of Chicken Parmesan was burnt. They covered everything with a plethora of over season sauce. but you could still taste it was burnt. Lettuce on all four salads was extremely wilted and watery. We sent all of them back untouched. No apology from waiter or staff. All four of us had heart burn before our 30 min drive home. Should have seen the red flag when we arrived and no other customers were there and no customers came in the 3:30 hour we were there. Avoid this place. There are lots of others great restaurants in downtown Dallas. read more

Probably the worst pasta I have had customer service is alright but the food they need to hire better chefs!

I've been to Campisis 3 times since 2021 and each time has just been mediocre. The ambiance is certainly the best part given the old school Italian mobster vibe. The employees are all very nice and helpful. The food however, is just terrible. The chicken was so dry and flavorless. The lasagna was rubbery. The bread was stale. The salad was cheap. Don't waste your time here. read more

The pepperoni pizza was delicious and had a nice crunch to it. Paired with their ranch was the perfect combination! The inside seating was kind of dark but had a nice vibe to it. Perfect for date night or just a day out with friends! read more

The ambiance of this place is cool Italian mob boss with great 40's/50's music. Our waitress, Kavan, was super attentive & gave us great recommendations for our dinner. We tried the Greek salad (EXCELLENT!), bruschetta, the Italian Chicken Picatta, & of course a tiramisu for dessert. Everything was prepared perfectly & the large portions were served to please. We ate here a few weeks ago & the food was so good that we had to come back on this trip to Dallas. We'll be back for sure! Sorry I forgot to get the pre-dig-in photos. read more

First time visit to Campisi's. Outstanding service and food! There is a lot of seating. Ambiance is warm. Reservations are recommended. We made reservations for 4. By the time our meal ended seating was full. Andre was our server. All the way from Italy. Andre represented Campisi's excellence! Andre's service was exemplary. He never let our beverages remain empty for long. He was very kind, engaging and professional! Mitch was another server that stopped by. Mitch offered tips on local venues and spent some time even jotting down some of his favorite places. I highly recommend this place. I will be going back! read more

Ordered Uber Eats from this restaurant. I ordered pasta with shrimp chicken and mushrooms. Received delivery and there was no chicken. Called and the receptionist tells me it had chicken. So now I'm lying. I have ordered from this restaurant numerous times and will not be back. So I guess if the cooks said they did I had to be lying. read more

Just left Campisi's about 4 hours ago and definitely will not be back. Have been here quite a few times, even driving 30 minutes to get there, while passing up other Italian restaurants. Walked in, hubby and I went to the back counter to place our orders, no issues. As we received our tray with plates, cups, and cutlery, we walked back to the front of the restaurant where it was well lit and we wanted to enjoy the sunlight, was told by a gentleman that looked like a Mob Boss, with a dirty towel draped over his shoulder, that we couldn't sit in the front of the restaurant, only in the back where it was dark. We obliged, but I was pissed. I thought who in the heck are you??? But hubby told me not to say anything until we received our food & drinks. I will say all the customers were sitting in the back. As we left, there were customers sitting in the front. I believe this was because other staff showed up. Mr. Mob Boss didn't want to clean up after us while we in the front and made sure everyone sat in the back because he was lazy. We're not going back and will stick to iFratelli's instead. read more

Tried Campisi's shell pasta with marinara and baked manicotti--the manicotti was rich and cheesy (a win), but the shells tasted overcooked and the sauce lacked depth. Garlic rolls still stole the show. Classic old-Dallas vibe, though service felt rushed. read more

We had bbq chicken pizza and meat ball spaghetti., Bbq chicken pizza was okay, not bad, but meat ball didn't taste all right at all. Tastes like someone who doesn't have chef experience at all. The noodles were very soggy, and meat ball had very bland taste. The sauce was so bad. Tasted like someone poured can of spaghetti sauce from the shelf of grocery store. The customer service was okay, the food was terrible for the price we paid. read more

We went to eat there at noon on a Sunday, and to my surprise the front dining room wasn't open. Also the woman working stated we needed to order at the bar with her. Which she told my wife? None if recall her saying this. Anyways we sat down and waited to be served and no one came, mind you we are the only ones in the restaurant. I recommend the one on mockingbird, the service here is trash. read more

Campisi's Restaurant - Lunch special. Small two topping with a salad (not pictured) - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Stumbled here for lunch during the week. The prices were reasonable and the restaurant looked nice so the lots of fancy decor. There was plenty of seating inside and out and not a ton of people there (probably a bad sign). The staff wasn't friendly and had me order at the counter when I walked in. I got a salad and two topping pizza for around $12. None of it was that good. The pizza tasted like cardboard and the salad was heavily doused in dressing. I was disappointed but maybe this place is better for dinner or I came at a bad time? read more

Came here with a party of 10, they were very patient with us as we decided who was sitting where. Servers were awesome. I had the meat supreme pizza and was really good, the rest thought the food was just ok. The penne pasta Alfredo was short of aldente and the girls didn't like it, was a bit tough and not much flavor. The waiters did offer to comp them but we all agreed to pay. Gave them four stars for their awesome service. read more

We stopped in on a Thursday at 830, 30 minutes before they closed, so we assumed they would be irritated. We were wrong! After driving in crazy traffic for over 4 hours, the group wanted some excellent wine and a good meal. The wine selection, they said, was good, and most got at least one glass. The staff was fast but not rushing us, and the atmosphere was cozy. They have two rooms for dining; we walked into the side room but sat in the main room. It reminded me of those old Italian joints in the movies. Great ambiance!! I had the meatball appetizer; it was good but just lacked flavor. Everyone else had pasta dishes, and I mourned my choice. The portions were huge, and the takeaway boxes were full. We plan to return during this trip, and I'm getting the shrimp scampi! read more

Carlos and team nailed it tonight for our business dinner. We were lucky enough to partner with Campisi's to host 50+ librarians during TLA '25. Carlos just happened to be a fan of libraries and said that librarians were "the unsung heroes" of the times. He was kind enough to sing the librarians' praises and I got a candid of him talking about how much it meant to him to use credible resources when he was taking classes in high school. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Campisi's! read more

Campisi's Restaurant - Special events room w/Carlos - Italian Near Me - Dallas, Texas

After a little bit of confusion upon entering, everything got better. As we entered no one was at the front to greet us. It was early12:30 on Sunday and downtown Dallas so,there's not gonna be a crowd. Evidently you walk to the back and order at the register. I saw a lady waving us to the back so we proceeded. She enthusiastically explains we order there,pay and she will bring our food out . So we took menus to a front window booth( fantastic) and slowly perused the offerings. After a decision we went to the back and ordered. Our food came out a short time later,delivered to our table. I imagine during busy times they have waitresses because of the size of the place. As a native Dallasite,my history with the original Campesis goes back to my childhood. It's a legendary place in Dallas and the original location is still there in all it's glory. This is one of the many satellite locations opened over the years. The star attraction is always the pizza and it's always good. Today we ordered: Small pepperoni sausage- really good. Thin crispy crust,just the right ratio of ingredients Pasta combo- Ravioli,Lasagna,Meatball and Spaghetti. Big portions and flava Chicken Picatta over Angel hair- nice lemon butter,caper sauce All the food was delicious with plenty for take home If you need an Italian American fix with great prices,atmosphere and history, I suggest you swing by here if downtown and check it out . Grab a window booth up front and tell them Guy H sent ya! read more

This is a smaller location but it's quaint and a great spot for a nightcap - the atmosphere is cozy and inviting - we Ordered the cheese pizza .. a salad and penne pasta with pink sauce. I have eaten at Campisis many times but it has been a different location and probably 4 years ago, back then they were great .. the sauces were all rich and flavorful with robust spices and authentic flavor.. This time I found the overall flavor and food to be a bit bland in both the pizza and the pasta.. I was a disappointed but as far as the salad it was fantastic! The dressing was tangy and flavorful lettuce was fresh .. so I will definitely be back for the salad and hoping today was just an off day on the pizza and pasta! Will give em a try again it's Campisis after all!! read more

Stopped by in the afternoon, walked inside and it was completely empty. I should have known that was a sign, but I had tried to go to two other places nearby and they were closed. I got the angel hair pasta with red sauce and added chicken. It was very average and bland. Very little sauce, just a little bit put on top, but none below the chicken so it was pretty dry. I will say it was a lot of food! I could never eat all of it in one sitting. It comes with a little salad and bread, both of which were pretty good and better than my entree. read more

Get the veal it is delicious and tender! Pasta was a bit overcooked for my preference of Al dente. Artichokes and the sauce was yummy on everything. If they mixed that sauce on the pasta, would be amazing!!! The Tiramisu meets the hype. It's worth it and calories. Find that extra room in your tummy and try it! Ambiance is classic. Saw families there & people hanging at the bar.. also people on date nights. Ask for the olive oil & balsamic for the fresh bread Services is on point. Prompt. Courteous and helpful. - 5 star read more

While this isn't a nightmare on Elm Street(see address) , Campisi's has a mixed bag of pluses and minuses. Location was good if staying downtown but distant enough from state fair area. Located right across from Hilton garden inn. We were seated right away without reservation for a party of 4. Server was personable and attentive even with his other two larger parties. We ordered drinks and a Greek pizza which was the best part. The pizza was loaded with ingredients and crispy hot. From there on the Italian food we ordered along with side salads were average at best. Sauce tasted like jarred sauce. My salmon was small and basic seasoning. I ordered my veggies steamed rather than sautéed and they were steamed but with no real flavor. The pasta combo plate had a good variety with ravioli, lasagna & meatball but again the flavor just didn't taste homemade. Being Italian, we had a difficult time enjoying the meal. Just filled the belly with a $200+ price tag. Bottom line. Go for drinks and pizza only. read more

Well my husband and I - are huge Campsi's fans - but not so much of this location - the pizza my husband always gets is garlic, itialin sausage and green onions. the whole this is the amount of toppings and garlic - if you do it right it is actually a magical combination, the crust was dry and overcooked, I ordered just an appetizer for I was not very hungry I had the baked ravioli's - very deflated with no filling - so dry, old tasting and deflated - We believe Campsi's is loosing something - their service and their care for the food. What a shame for a Dallas Original. read more

From Tulsa, Ok staying at a hotel 0.4 miles from Mockingbird location. Paid $65 plus with a $20 tip before I realized what I got We ordered large pizza, pasta, dessert What we got was Cold pizza cold pasta and no silverware. How do you eat pasta with no silverware well I tried with my fingers. I had already paid for it to be delivered I didn't want to Uber for silverware. It wouldn't have been so bad had I not left such a huge tip to receive good service less than a 1/2 a mile and it was so cold. Over an hour wait. Honestly I wasn't expecting top tier but hot would have been nice. read more
