La Campagna Ristorante — Restaurant in Vaughan

Mama Mia

What made this place so special right off the first impressions is being greeted with such a warm welcome and presence of the staff, which looks family owned.

I came here on Easter without thinking as I was in the mood for a hot family meal with quality. I’ve driven past here numerous of times but never really taken it in but this long weekend was the day I decide to try it and it didn’t disappoint!

The decor itself puts you in a mini Italy type of feel as the paintings showcase “home” away from home. The seating itself was what you would find in an outdoorsy stop as I can imagine sitting outside and enjoying my meal.

The service itself was fantastic as it was our first time here, me and my girlfriend’s but we enjoy Italian cuisine so we knew the gist of what we wanted but still asked what their specials / favourites were. I believe I spoke to the son and he was very helpful in making recommendations based on what we were feeling, the mom was on the side where she greeted us with a smile and even moved some cutlery to make the space more homey. The dad in the back cheffing it up as you can see everything being made from scratch and the aroma was to die for; The wait was worth it when you know everything’s in house and not pre-made / pre-heated.

As we were leaving, the dad himself had this joyous energy of thanking us for our business but also thanking us for taking the time to visit and hope that we come back. That we will, my friend as the food itself was spectacular. It was made with love and passion as the portions you get were what you paid for.

The chicken alfredo with fettuccine was one if not the best I’ve ever had as it was creamy, soft and literally melts in your mouth. The tiramisu was a blast as well as it was a deconstructed version rather than what you get at a bakery; It was soft, sweet and had the perfect ratio in coffee and cream. We’ll definitely be coming back here in the...

The restaurant was family run, which was nice. Once you walk in, its bit confusing how things work because there was a register and a display shelf, which kind of leads you to think that its a take-out place rather than sit-in; nonetheless, they do both. The decor could use some work and better lighting would be nice. However, the owner greeted us and was super friendly and accommodating. Our party got the greek salad, house salad, bruschetta, and three pasta dishes to share. The food came out in a timely manner. The salads were good, not much to expect there. The bruschetta was very buttery, but the bread was nice. The pasta portions were huge and one can definitely be shared between two people (or one very hungry individual). But, I found the pasta dishes to be a bit bland to be honest and they put a lot of butter. Also, the dishes didn't come out as hot as I would prefer, but it was okay. The owner had his children working for him too, so I wasn't sure how I...

Ordered their lasagna through DoorDash. I was surprised to see so much sauce plastered around the lasagna, which didn't bother me as much... until it tasted so watered down & diluted. The lasagna itself tasted IDENTICAL to frozen lasagna, & I've had a lot of frozen ones before. The meat was dry, and the pasta itself was not as fresh or chewy like freshly made lasagna. I believe the excess sauce around it was to supplement the limited sauce they used inside the actual layers. Disappointing that I have to leave this review. Normally I don't post reviews, but this dish was terrible. Only managed to barely finish half of it. Even if it was made "fresh", it certainly did not do the Italian lasagna dish any justice. I've had much better lasagna elsewhere, which made me crave to try it here... But this place reminds me of just how sick I get of lasagna when it's made this poorly.

I'm afraid to even consider their other dishes, so this is my last time ever...
