Message: | Let it be said: this dude does not like this restaurant. But also let it be said that out of perhaps 400 meals at Campanile, dating from its opening week in 1989, I cannot in good faith remember more than one or two dishes that were less than terrific, and I am always amazed by the waitstaff's easy mastery of what is after all an amazingly complex wine list. I cannot think of a chef whose taste I trust more than I do Mark Peel's, and I thank God that the bakery's spectacular success has allowed the restaurant to continue without compromise. |
