Chef/Owner Joe Cerniglia & Pastry Chef/Owner Jessica Marotta have found a way to balance traditional Italian methods with a local "Americana" inflection to create charming & imaginative menus that always seem to wake up the senses. The first thing you will see & taste is Ms. Marotta"s homemade ciabatta bread - always crusty, chewy & perfectly blistered on the outside. Aside from baking the daily bread, Cerniglia & Marotta turn out silky hand made pastas, homemade Italian cheeses (they even give classes on cheesemaking on occasion), cured meats, spectacular meat & fish dishes & of course Ms. Marotta's homemade gelatto's, semifreddos & desserts. If that's not enough, it is worth noting that Cerniglia was previously the chef at Gallagher's Steak House in NYC. His vast knowledge of all things meat have transitioned seamlessly into Campania, where you will always find a thick, perfectly charred aged steak that arguably rivals those of any New York steakhouse.

AMAZING! One of the best Italian restaurants...

AMAZING! One of the best Italian restaurants in New Jersey. I’m there at least once a week. Chef/owner Joe Cerniglia takes great pride in creating fresh & rustic Southern Italian dishes.

Campania = Awful

This restaurant was was on Season one from NJ. I lived by there and didn’t even realize it was on the show. I watched the episode on youtube before going to each there last night (2/21/09). They have not incorporated most things Ramsey tought them. We ordered our food at 715pm and didn’t have our food come to the table until 920pm. The problem was, the food wasn’t bad! It was actually pretty good. But the service is beyond horrendous. They didn’t refill our water glasses until we had to ask, we had a bottle of white wine which they didn’t even offer to put in ice for us. The waitress told us 2 times the food was coming right out but it still took 30minutes from that time.
Its sad when they have decent food but really lack the ability to learn anything from their experience. I hope Ramsey calls the Donkeys. I will never go there again.

Will never return

Although I would never mind paying $80 for a full meal including app, main, and dessert, I expect more on my plate than a filet...perhaps a few veggies? I will say however that the meal was tasty. The waitress we had was horrible. She literally...

Campania - Amazing food in Fair Lawn

This place is outstanding - the young and personable chef/owner has a deft hand at just about anything that he puts out. The homemade raviolis are my favorite, and the braised meats, risottos, and polenta preparations are second to none.

BYOB

I ate here once and the food was good. The best thing about it is that you can cut the cost of your bill by bringing your own wine or beer as it is BYOB.
