La Campania

Overpriced and overrated with bad service. Why overpay when there are so many other good reasonably priced restaurants in the area.

On a recent visit, the food was okay but not worth the price. The chicken was good but still bloody close to the bone served with three slices of potato and a small serving of sautéed arugula green veg. The pizza is not Italian pizza as suggested on the menu but flatbread.

The service was bad. I ordered a drink when I placed our food order. After waiting, I asked the waiter twice for my drink. I was almost finished the appetizer by the time it arrived. In anticipation of a long wait, I ordered my second drink while I was still half way through my first. It arrived after I was almost finished my entrée and only after I asked the hostess to bring it to the table. If a restaurant is going to charge in the mid-thirty dollar range for an entrée, the least it can do is assure good service. The only thing the waiter did quickly was to bring the bill.

My advice: Save your money or eat for less at an “expensive” restaurant in Boston’s South End or on Newbury Street.
