The Take
Campanella's Bar & Grill earns its keep with from-scratch meatballs, sausage, and calzones that rise above standard bar fare. The kitchen still leans on typical defaults for everything fried or breaded.
Locals chase the homemade bread and honey butter for a taste of old-school neighborhood cooking. That identity play works only if you steer clear of the seed-oil-heavy apps and pastas that fill out the rest of the menu.
The Verdict
The homemade touches make Campanella's worth a stop for specific plates, but the bar slop defaults drag everything else down. Grilled proteins and a side salad let you dodge the industrial shortcuts.
Order the grilled sausage or meatballs with a side salad, request olive oil or balsamic dressing.
