User Reviews for Campanella Modern Italian Cuisine

4 Star Rating: Recommended

This quiet and cozy spot in Newark is a great place for a romantic dinner or a meal with friends. The flavors are good, the pasta is well cooked and the seafood has been perfect every time! Great salad options and good wine choices. The service has been a little uneven, with one diner being offered desert while the others were finishing their entree, but otherwise the staff were attentive to every need and we will go back again!

Pros: Good food in Newark! Wine tasting pairings.

Cons: Closed Sundays, harder to find, uneven service.

MY HUSBAND ORDERED A MEAL THAT WAS NOT PERPARED CORRECTLY (THE STEAK WAS RUBBERY) SO WE SENT IT BACK TO THE KITCHEN. THE OWNERS WOULD NOT MAKE HIM ANOTHER MEAL, AND TOLD US THAT WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE MEAL THAT WE DID NOT LIKE OR EAT. THE OWNER HERSELF TOLD US THAT IF YOU ORDER SOMETHING AND DON'T LIKE IT JUST REMEMBER NOT TO ORDER IT NEXT TIME. WHY WOULD I COME A NEXT TIME?

Pros: THE WAITRESS WAS VERY NICE

Cons: THE OWNERS ARE RUDE AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HANDLE CUSTOMERS

Response from this business

The other side of the story
Posted on 05/14/2008
In the service industry, the customer is always right. Yet on occasion, the customer lacks restaurant ettiquette such was the case. The young man ordered our Rib Eye steak and when it was presented to him sent it back stating that it was not cooked to his specifications. The server verified how he wanted it prepared and a second steak was prepared. Again, the customer complained and sent it back. The chef then refused to make another steak. He has years of experience and knows how to prepare steaks. The couple became upset and did not understand why. I explained to them that we made both steaks to his specifications and could not continue preparing until he figured out how he wanted it prepared. There was nothing wrong with it. They refused to pay for the steak and I agreed. Then the man complained that he was not told he would have to pay for the bottled water. After this last remark, I realized he had little, if no fine dining experience. The chef's intuition was on target.
