Campisi's Restaurant

This is a Dallas institution. For a great experience, grab a seat at the bar and order a glass of wine while you wait for your food. The pastas are delicious and the pizza is pretty good for Dallas. Robert is a great bartender! They close kind of early so get there earlier and then enjoy the surrounding nightlife.

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.

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 gotWe ordered large pizza, pasta, dessertWhat 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.

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.

I know this is a simple spot but I was blown away by the flavors. The bruschetta was sOOOoOo flavorful like omg !! The espresso was good too! The ambiance gave grown, mysterious, sexy...like I'm living in the sopranos in New York..the service was ok but deff worth the try

Came here for a quick lunch. Pizza and salad were decent. The staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean.

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?

Came here for a quick lunch. I had a medium pepperoni and Jalapeño pizza. We ordered our pizzas at the counter, they gave us our numbers and then it was shortly brought to our table. They gave us a side of Caesar salad which I was not a fan of. My friend liked the salad but it was not it for me. The pizza was very flavorful and delicious. I liked the fact that it was thin crust. The ambiance is chill and gave mafia family dinner vibes. Their fountain Coke tasted really good, like they have the perfect mixture of carbonation and coke syrup into their machine... I mean not all fountain drinks are created equal lol. Try them out.

Disappointing birthday dinner for a friend. Service was good.Crab claw appetizer was best we ever had after previous poor quality.I ordered veal parm which was an endless search for a good lean bite. All I got was gristle and breading. How does prep or cook/chef not see that, cook it and serve?Finally gave up and informed the waitress. Nicely offered to replace it - which they did. So, now ate a better serving while everyone else was done and got to watch me eat. Manager did stop and offer weak explanation.Not sure if it was taken off bill as I did not pay.Wife had ravioli which was forgettable.Would be difficult to return with other reliable Italian restaurants.Update to previous information:Tried my leftovers today.Spaghetti / sauce was good.The veal parmigiana meat was just as bad or worse than the first one I sent back. Every bite was 25-50% gristle.I'm no chef but I know what quality control is.There is a problem here.Changed rating from 2 to 1 star.

While the food at Campisi's is passable, I absolutely refuse to spend my hard-earned money at a place that treats its customers with such blatant disregard. I recently found myself in a frustrating situation while dining solo and needed a to-go container. Leaving my food and drink unattended to ask for a container was already inconvenient , but when I approached the counter, there were four customers still fumbling over the menu. The waiter had the audacity to tell me, 'Let me finish up with them.' Seriously? They hadn't even made a decision yet, and I was expected to wait while he took their orders? I had already tried to avoid this hassle by asking for a to-go container when I ordered (I never finish an entire meal), only to be met with the dismissive response, 'You will have to come back for a to-go container when you've finished.' This level of disregard for customers is unacceptable. I won't be returning to Campisi's, and I urge others to think twice before spending their money where they're treated so poorly.
