La Campania

La Campania is a gorgeous restaurant, with very friendly - though not at all overbearing - wait staff and hosts. They seemed to be enjoying their roles too and eachother's company which gave a lovely, easy atmosphere.

Busy restaurant so book in advance. Caters very well for vegan and gluten free diets.

The food and wine we had was delicious! The scallops wrapped in pancetta with a mint and pea sauce were something else - divine! I had the pollo Milanese for seconds and even just the tomato sauce on the pasta was very tasty. My partner said the same of his bruschetta starter and lasagna too. And the olives are massive and flavourful! We had a wonderful sweet wine that the waitress recommended. She told us a little about how it was made, then we were brought amaretti biscuits that are traditionally dunked in it too which was a lovely touch. We enjoyed this with a gorgeous hot brownie.

This indulgent meal for two - bottle of wine, 2 glasses sweet wine, 2.5 filling courses was under £90. Wonderful! I'd happily visit here many times over. Thank you for a wonderful evening and I wish your team all the best.

La Campania was also a lovely first meal out with the COVID precautions in place. All staff were in visors, guests were wearing masks when walking through to tables, track and trace code is in place, disposable table cloths were used and tables were disinfected between each sitting. Tables are closer than 2 metres, but I don't know how sustainable this gorgeous little business would be if they took away that many covers. I'm really, really glad that we went and it didn't feel very different from a dinner out in the past.
