What People's Say About Place

The meatballs and sausage was so good we wanted another plate. The pizza was cut into squares and had a nice thin crisp crust. We enjoyed every bite of food and will definitely be back in the future.

Campanella’s is one of those places that consistently delivers. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and well portioned — from the pizza and calzones to the pasta dishes. You can tell they care about quality ingredients and doing things the right way. Service has always been attentive and professional, and the atmosphere is welcoming every time we come in. A solid local Italian restaurant that’s been doing it right for years. Highly recommend.

The food is great but the prices are so much higher. I understand everything is going up but for a pizza and sandwich family type restaurant it's a little to high all at once. You are charging extra on the calzones if it's wheat (really). I bought the salad dressing all the time when Richard owned it and he only raised the price once by 35 cents. Now it went up 80 cents. That's a big jump at once. Like I said I understand everything is going up but you are losing customers because of your high prices. Capanellla's is not Cafe Itri. Sorry.

Pizza was very good... crust was thick enough to avoid droup, sauce was good but not near enough, cheese was excellent and the toppings, pepperoni and ham were also very good. Add more sauce and you would have an excellent pizza! Today I had the lasagna and it was very good, made with sweet sausage which is a bit unusual, and lots of cheese. The sauce was also very tasty. I ordered the hot turkey sandwich and the pasta and chicken parmigiana. Both were excellent! The turkey was baked on site as advertised. Juicy and tender and lots of it, the sandwich can with cheese and lettuce and was served hot. Turkey is hard to find in RI and this was the best yet. The chicken parmigiana was also excellent except that the tomato sauce was very heavy. almost a BBQ sauce. I would have prefered a more milder sauce, but that is personal preference. The chick was tender and again here was plenty. They offer several pasta choices, but no whole grain pasta. The parmigiana came with a salad which was very large, contained several types of greens, carrots and very aromatic onions. Bread was also included and again it was excellent. The menu says that the bread is baked on site andI believe it. Prices were good especially considering the portion size. I ordered take out which was ready when I arrived. All in all a very good local restaurant.

This is a takeout review. All food is eaten promptly in the vehicle. I had the sautéed peppers, a grilled meatball pizza, and a pepperoni pizza. The peppers were nicely done, very good flavor with excellent garlic bread. The pepperoni pizza was quite good also. Nice crust, nice flavor. The grilled pizza was my favorite. Excellent crust, great flavor, just an all-around winner. On a scale from 0-10 I would rate this 8.4.

This is my 87 y/o mom’s favorite pizza place. Thin and crispy and well done is her preferred meal with a garden salad with chicken. The salads are fresh, the house dressing is perfect- oil, vinegar & herbs. The calzones my favorite are fantastic! There’s over a dozen to choose from- my fav is the sausage, mushrooms, sauce and cheddar cheese with wheat dough. This spot is a family favorite, neighborhood favorite restaurant with a variety of pasta, salads, sandwiches, calzones and pizzas. The couple sitting next to ours had pasta dishes I couldn’t keep my eyes off of! There’s also a bar with 2 large TVs. It was busy and the waitstaff were working hard.

Have only been here a couple of times so far despite the close proximity, and each time I've kept it simple with spaghetti and meatballs. Can't go wrong. But there are plenty of other options, especially the calzones. Looks like a good drink menu, but I made the mistake of staying dry the last time I visited. [Warning: incoming Dad joke] The irony being that there was a nor'easter that evening. Speaking of which, I don't really know how busy Campanella's is on a typical autumn Sunday evening, but if you want to be literally the only ones seated at a restaurant, do what we did and visit during a rainstorm an hour before closing. It was awesome.

Had the pasta with mushrooms. As far as I'm concerned it's their signature dish and is delicious! The sauce was perfect with the service to match! Their wait staff is ALWAYS the best!
